Heirmund comes round the house to discover that the fight has begun without him, ending up about ten feet behind Lehko. Meanwhile, Jair tries to force his way through the group to Redithidoor, thrusting with his spear at the one mugger directly in his way, and at the same time calling out for his wolfhound to attack. The man effortlessly knocks Jair's thrust to one side, however--causing the spear's shaft to strike Terek just hard enough to spoil his attack as well.
((Attacks: 7+0=7 and 3+3=6, respectively.))
A few feet away, Ren reaches Dengar, and snarling in anger swings viciously with his longsword--which glances harmlessly off Dengar's armour. Ydyr, set to charge the half-orc, finds himself able to simply step forward and grapple Ren, unfortunately losing the benefit momentum might have provided to his attack. Nevertheless, he manages to grab his foe's weapon arm, although his attempted knee to the gut is deflected to Ren's outer leg instead. Dengar takes advantage of Ren's distraction to arc his flail towards Ren's head, but Ren twists to take the blow on his shoulder.
((Ren's attack: 8. Ydyr's touch: 17+2=19; grapple: 13+4=17; Ren's: 10; damage: 2+0=2. Dengar's attack: 17+5=22. Damage: 1+4=5.))
Lehko sees Jair's goal, and decides to try to move that mugger out of the way. The startled foe is struck invisibly and stumbles to one side, not out of Jair's way, but definitely wounded. The two muggers near Jair--including the one Lehko wounded--step in to attack him, giving Terek as wide a berth as possible, but Jerek's armour and shield deflect their blows. One of the two muggers on the other side calls out "Hey jerkyface! Let Ren go!" and they both attack Ydyr. Ydyr senses the blows coming, and even though he can't move much due to grappling with Ren, he still manages to dodge one blow. He can't prevent the other sword from sliding along his chest though, scoring a line of pure agony. Jerek quickly moves back in to stand beside Dengar, and then to move to flank with Dengar, but it's taking too long. So he tries to take advantage of Ren's situation by sliding his dagger in at a key moment, hoping to end things then and there. But he too fails to penetrate Ren's studded leather armour. The mugger staring down at Redithidoor moans in a fragile voice, "Oh...gods...", and abruptly whirls and staggers towards the wall, where he is violently sick.
((Fort Save: 12. Spell's bull rush: 14+4=18. Foe's: 14. Damage: 2+1=3. Mugger's attacks: 5, 13, 11, 13 respectively. Ydyr takes 5 points damage. Jerek's attack: 11+0=11.))
((Jerek had to move to avoid AoO's from the muggers on Jair, which made it so he couldn't quite move to a flanking position and still attack this round, although if he had hit Ren he would still have done sneak attack damage of course, due to grappling. However, either Dengar or Jerek can now take a 5' step on their next turn, and then they will both get the flanking bonus on Ren.))
Game-terms: moving to flank Ren without provoking AoO if possible. If not, flank someone else without provoking, if that's not possible, just a straight attack on whoever's available. My exact actions will depend on where everyoe has moved by the time I get to go, and of course whether I'm still breathing at that point.
