Ashley winces slightly at the blow Kevin's stuck...even when it's an enemy, she can't help but empathize a bit with someone who's mind she's entered. It went with the territory. She didn't let it interrupt her concentration though as she continued to bear down on the Drazi's psyche and keep it passive long enough for the job to be done.

He Who Lurks Beyond The Veil
Sarhat gringes and hastily pulls together a plan. He picks one of the lightweight crates and throws it towards the Drazi, hoping to pull the fire to it, and then follows right behind with with his Denn'bok ready.
[sblock=OOC]Eh, I'm not sure how this is supposed to go... I think it's a kind of bluff attempt followed by charge, but I'll let you decide.[/sblock]

Sarhat hurls the crate at the drazi pinning him down with its aim. The ploy works. Acting on instinct, the drazi fires at the crate, giving Sarhat the chance to charge towards it, pike at the ready. Looking desperate, the drazi smacks the butt of its pistol into Sarhat's face.
Kevin finds himself in the almost comedic position of battering an opponent who, whilst not totally helpless, does very little to defend himself and nothing to counterattack. With a glazed expression in its piggy eyes, the drazi before him sluggishly ducks and weaves against the barrage of blows unleashed by the ranger, but Kevin still manages to get two solid hits, one on the calf, the other between the eyes of the drazi. Leaking white blood, the alien still doesn't go down.
The last drazi (#2) hiding beneath the Fortune again fires into the (one-sided) melee between Kevin and its team-mate. This time its aim is true. Kevin takes a step backwards as a PPG blast slams into his shoulder. His Minbari crystalweave robes absorb some of the impact, but Ash can see the ranger grit his teeth against the pain as he steps up to the task of beating down his opponent again, smoke rising from the wounded shoulder.
Vurk finishes his ministrations to Sethyk, but the cascor's life signs are still unstable.
[SBLOCK=OOC]
Sarhat: I treated this as a sort of feint, but with the intent to draw a readied shot rather than put your opponent off balance. So the drazi doesn't lose Defence Value next round. Bluff check (untrained) =16, vs. Wisdom check from drazi #3. Drazi have a penalty to any Wisdom-based check to avoid violence, I figured it counts here. Feint=standard action, then move action to reach drazi#3.
Ash: Still concentrating on drazi #1, maintaining daze.
Kevin: Full attack option using both ends of denn'bok. Both attacks hit (16 and 11) but still not enough damage (5 total accounting for damage reduction of scales) to put his opponent down.
Vurk: finishes full round action to stabilise. Total 22 gives a +20% chance to Sethyk's stabilise roll. I was wrong above, medkits don't add to the roll, but they give a +10% to stabilise roll.
Sethyk: Total stabilise chance = 40%. 70, fail.
Drazi#1: dazed.
Drazi#2: Fire into melee, hits even with -4 penalty. Kevin takes 7 damage, -2 DR for robes = 5. Kevin at 3/8 hit points.
Drazi #3: Forced to fire at crate, hits.
Initiative for next round:
Drazi#3: Pistol whips Sarhat, hits for a total of 2 damage (although the text says a face hit, I still counted Sarhat's DR). Sarhat at 5/7 hit points.

. Now to beat the Drazi senseless. Attack![/sblock]

If the attackers are distracted by the back-fighting members of the group, and if it is fine to move the hurt alien, Vurk tries to bring it behind better cover.
Ashley hunches her shoulders and covers her mouth to stifle a pained yelp when Kevin is hit. It's not that she can feel what he's feeling, but she can't help being empathetic...imagining what it must feel like and reacting accordingly.
In spite of that, she keeps her mental 'grip' on the Drazi, knowing that Kevin's only chance is to take this one down before the other one can finish the job on him. Then Ash can turn her attention to that one as well...

Sarhat slams his fighting pike into his drazi opponent, drawing white blood. The drazi reposnds with a savage but wild swing with his pistol butt, and Sarhat is easily able to evade.
Kevin mutters curses in Vik* and changes tactics, grabbing his opponent and hurling both himself and the drazi to the ground, simultaneously pinning his opponent and diving out of sight of drazi #2.
As Vurk drags Sethyk to the relative safety of the crates, the hangar airlock door opens (manually) and Raive enters. Almost immediately, drazi #2 fires a barrage of plasma at him, and Vurk feels the heat as they whizz overhead. All three shots miss.
"What the hell?" snarls Raive.
*I imagine Minbari is a poor language to swear in. This is probably along the lines of "You are a coward with no clan or honour".
[SBLOCK=OOC]
Sarhat attack on drazi #3 - 19+4 =23, hit. Damage 1d6+3 =9, less DR.
Vurk: drags Sethyk
Kevin: grapple attempt on drazi #1, hits on 16, not sure if it should be opposed (since dazed =/= helpless) but Kevin wins anyway. Not *by the rules* pinned, but makes no odds if drazi #1 isn't acting.
Ash: maintain concentration on drazi#1. She can just about keep him in line of sight if she wants to continue until Kevin has completely neutralized him.
Raive: arrive.
Drazi #1 : dazed, grappled.
Drazi #2 : burst fire against Raive, all three attacks miss.
Drazi #3: pistol whip attack on Sarhat, missed. This would normally provoke an AoO, but the drazi has the Brawler feat.
Sethyk: -5 hit points, failed stabilise check again.
