Something’s happening ahead. Stulgar bounces over the two men that tried to intercept him and continues, so fast that now he’s in the market. Then he hears Ceshil’s voice behind, shouting:
”Thief! Thief! Catch the thief!”
And suddendy Stulgar slips on the floor, spinning his arms (and battleaxe) trying to not lose his balance. The ones that tried to box him jump on the safety edge and run twards him, closing dangerously: however one of them suddenly slips and has to drop his dagger to catch the handrail. The others shout their way through the crowd.
The rest of your party divide, with Siobhan trying to reach Latharion’s position and fighting one of them. She’s not as experienced as his opponent, who knocks her scimitar aside and evades her clumsy guard with her shield, wounding her in the leg. The sudden pain makes Siobhan close her eyes, and the Cannith uses that opportunity to bash he once more with the sword’s pommel and jumps over her with the dagger, slashing her writs this time. Latharion tries to move to help her, but he has to block a swing from his own opponent which leaves the Cannith wide open. Latharion can’t miss that opportunity and thrusts with the scimitar, dropping him. Just in time, as other Cannith runs towards him. Latharion barely dodges the swing and the Cannith crashes into him, again locking the elf in deadly combat.
[Crunch details:
Initiative list:
Ceshil 21
Armed men 18
Orerreth 14
Raven 14
Siobhan 13
Stulgar 9
Niccolo 5
Latharion 4
Raven retreats while drawing her sword
Siobhan moves 5 feet and attacks. You specified the she “moved to help Latharion flank” but that would imply drawing at least one AoO (since you also wanted to attack). I don’t believe you wanted to provoke one, so I limited Siobhan’s move to a 5 foot step. Her attack fails.
Stulgar withdraws and continues his run, bouncing over the crowd’s heads without problem.
Niccolo too withdraws.
Latharion drops another opponent with a good scimitar strike.
Round 3
Ceshil moves and makes a successful Bluff check. Some well intentioned wizard in the crowd decides to help the forces of the law and casts Grease under Stulgar. Make a Reflex save, DC 14, with a –2 ad-hoc penalty (following the spell’s description) since he’s running and jumping, or he’ll start his next round prone and out of the Grease patch (carried by his own momentum)
The two Canniths that were fighting with Stulgar jump over the hand rail and run (double move) over the safety border. Unimpeded by the crowd one of them move quickly, the other has to stop suddenly and grab the handrail.
The rest of the soldiers on the vanguard successfully Intimidate their way through the crowd.
Back, the two Canniths left attack. One strikes Siobhan hard with both sword and dagger (13 damage), the other one charges Latharion and fails.
Orerreth stops, undecided on what to do now that Siobhan looks to be in danger (you can suggest something)
Status: Latharion 6 damage, Siobhan 13 damage.
As a reminder, you can make your own rolls, attack or otherwise, if you like.]
