OOC: Swipe: Yes, still getting flanking and sneaky bonuses. The dice are not with you, small one... so far. BTW, just in case anyone is curious, I write these as I roll so...
Uri steps into the right side of the furious beast, Slashing with both of his wicked short swords. The creature, now getting concerned, makes a furtive slash in his direction but misses Uri.
"It may be very cold out but the sun still shines on the races of man. Your kind will never take this land." Tyler states in an level, even cold tone, as he presses this latest advantage but is still not able to penetrate its' ever more desparate defenses.
Swipe, lingering in the creatures blindspot finally, is finally able to bury his dagger in the creatures back. It yowls in pain, drops its' heavy ax and, gropes for the blade.
Aleran, from the tabletop, is able to smack the creature on the head again, opening a large gash.
Skaris, in a bold move, leps up onto the table and runs along ts' length and the leaps behind Uri to the next table, skidding to a quick stop as he lands.
The beast, more whimpering than yowling now, drops to its' knees still trying to reach the dagger stuck in it's back, then topples forward, a bloody froth oozing from its' mouth.
Woden, seeing the creature fall, stops his sling and pockets the stone.

"Good one, Swipe." says Uri, more reflexively than as encouragement. His concern for their precarious position shows, as he looks around left and right, form one door to the next. "There are two more flights of stairs in the back. Let's secure this room, and make a sweep. Keep it quiet." he says in a low voice as he looks around the room for other exits, and makes his way out the back to guard the stairwell.

Tyler
Tyler slumps against the table, he holds his leg for a moment wishing he had the grace to heal himself. "That was excellent. You all did well. I don't think I could have stood up to even one hit from the beast." He bends and starts stripping the beast man in front of him. "We need to see what equipment we can salvage off thier bodies."

Aleran still standing on the table, leaning on his staff surveys the area around him, this certainly wasn't what he signed on for but it was interesting and this group did have potential, no women unfortunately but then he can't have everything he wants... for now.
"Maybe we should actually try and capture one of these creatures alive so we can question it later, unless of course one of you can talk with the dead." He states as he squats down and pokes the closest creature with his staff.

Stripping the beast of their few posessions takes only a few minutes. You are able to salvage 4 each of: Large ax, single edge shortsword and leather armor (one with a noticable hole in the back 
).
Also a handfull of flat-faced copper and silver coins. it is not clear if they are comparable to "normal" coins.
Searching the room reveals nothing more that what was apparent from the outset. It is a large room with several large, low tables and long benches. most likely a common eating area for the soldiers of the fort.

Uri takes little notice to the frozen-men's possesions as they spill out on the floor. "We should clear this floor before we move upstairs." he says, "Did you see any other rooms in the front? There are closets in the back, and another small room. There's a door over there too." he says, pointing to the west wall of this mess hall. "Two sets of stairs as well. I'll check that back room." Uri goes straight back an to the right, swords drawn, and searches that area.
