Thankful that the dog looks like it has forgotten Khajom, but wanting to heal his companion as soon as possible, Pyior yells "Danwyn! Strike then back away!" while repositioning himself then readies an action to cast a diminished Mind Stab on the dog near Khajom.
Triggering event: Danwyn strikes the dog and takes a 5' step back OR just after he strikes if he doesn't look like he is moving away.
In his repositioning, Pyior will back away from the dog ensuring that Danwyn is a jucier target, but that Danwyn won't be giving the dog cover from Pyior's spells.

After giving the dog a good thumping, Ys-Baddaden glances quickly in the direction of the wounded Khajom, but only long enough to become more worried. Let this be your last breath, beast, or it may well be the Litorian's... the giant thinks to himself as he easily dodges the dog's lunge, swinging his morningstar in its direction once again.

Danwyn will attempt to follow the mage's plan if the dog will cooperate.

Pirythanis is growing frustrated with the dog on him. It seems as if it will neither quit nor die. He slashes again with his longsword and this time it connects fully, leaving a deep cut across the throat. The dog drops as its blood drains quickly from its body. [roll (15+3=18), hit; dmg 6+3=9]
Pyior calls to Danwyn, asking him to swing and then get out of the way so he can get a clear line of fire for his spell. He shuffles backward just a bit, leaving Danwyn as the only close target for the dog.
It is clear to Osric that the dog between Danwyn and the fallen Khajom remains the greatest threat. Confident in his skill with the bow, he draws an arrow and tries to thread it into his bow. Sweat and nerves conspire against him, however, and he drops the arrow in his haste. [roll (1 - fumble)]
Khajom bleeds. [stabilization check (75), fail; -6hp]
Ys-Baddaden braces himself and takes another swing at the wounded dog before him. His full weight and strength is behind the blow and the morningstar crushes in the side of the dog's head. The entire creature is flung fully ten feet away and lands with a wet thud. [roll (13+4=17), hit; dmg 8+4=12]
The remaining dog seems to become somewhat aware of its precarious situation. It is now alone and there are others coming to surround it. As quickly as the doubt came upon it, however, it disappears and again its eyes are filled with an unnatural evil. It lunges at Danwyn and its teeth find flesh through his leggings. [roll (20), hit; dmg 2]
Grimacing but unconcerned, Danwyn swings hard at the dog before him. The dog remains too nimble and jumps back out of the way. [roll (2+4=6), miss] Heeding Pyior's words, Danwyn steps back from the dog to clear the way for the magister's spell.
Seeing the opening, Pyior unhesitatingly casts his spell. He raises his staff and conjures the invisible beam of mental energy that this time successfully strikes the dog. It winces but does not drop. [ranged touch attack (12+3=15), hit; dmg 3]
Sword still wet with blood, Pirythanis covers the short distance to the remaining dog. He sees that Pyior has finished casting his spell, so he doesn't hesitate to attack the dog. He swings and misses. [roll (4+3=7), miss]
Osric, hoping no one noticed his dropped arrow, smoothly draws another. He still has a clear line of fire to the remaining dog and (carefully) strings his bow and fires. The dog's frantic dodging and weaving leaves only empty space where Osric had been aiming and the arrow embeds harmlessly in the grass. [roll (2+3=5), miss]
Khajom continues to bleed. [stabilization check (86), fail; -7hp]
Ys-Baddaden hurries over to join Pirythanis and Danwyn in surrounding the remaining dog. Flanking it with the sibbecai, he swings his morningstar and just misses. [roll (7+4+2=13), miss]
The dog's eyes now show genuine fear. It is surrounded and injured. It makes an effort to withdraw from the battle. Danwyn gets a swing at it as it tries to run past him. His longsword cuts deeply into the dog's back and it drops with a gurgle. [attack of opportunity, roll (13+4=17), hit; dmg 6+3=9]

"The things were truly possessed, they showed almost no fear. And I swear its eyes glowed, as it went for my leg." Looking to the mage, "Hurry, before he dies!"

[ooc - Er, forgot that Cordo is on vacation. I'll npc him along as necessary until he returns. Shouldn't impact the story too much.]
The moment the last dog begins to flee, even before Danwyn slays it, Pyior is running over to Khajom's side. He holds his staff before him, places a small hand on the litorian's chest, and magically absorbs a considerable amount of the damage into himself. [transfer lesser wounds (8+1=9 healed up to +1hp; 4 subdual to Pyior)]
Khajom's wounds cease bleeding and many knit almost completely shut. Pyior sinks down onto the grass, winded, and Khajom coughs once and opens his eyes.
"Please try to be a little bit more careful next time," Pyior says, unable to contain a little grin at seeing his companion alive.
