He looks at his two upright soldiers, sees them both bloodied and wounded, and says to them, "Men, we're fighting a losin' battle here. We're outnumbered. Stand down."In the back of the chamber, the slinger nods, and the battle seems to be coming to a close. Hedge slings his mace onto his shoulder and sighs."We're at an impasse. You six are accused of murder. Now I don't know rightly whether you did kill the king or you didn't. That don't make a difference to me or to my superior officers. But I do believe that ye don't want to kill me, and I sure would rather have ye on my side than against me in a fight. Ye say that the assassins are coming here? I might be inclined to believe ye. Supposin' I did, what makes ye think ye could get away from the real killer? If they could kill Lord Hood, couldn't they kill ye just as easily?Hedge's other soldier remains alert, still suspicious of these negotiations. Corporal Hedge waits for a moment, then looks quizzically at the group."How in the blazes did ye even get out of that cell?"[sblock=Round 4 NPC Actions]They all delay their actions while Corporal Hedge negotiates.[/sblock][sblock=ooc]Even though the fight is pretty much over, I'll still wait for a response from everybody before we move on.[/sblock]</blockquote>
