[SBLOCK=OOC]Hmm...they go just before Markus, so they undoubtably are going to trigger his readied action and not let him act this round.[/SBLOCK]

COMBAT ROUND 2 (PARTIAL)
Taren recoils from the bits of flaming wood that fell nearby, then crouches down and loads his crossbow, considering how he might escape the flames that now block egress from behind the bar. It does seem that climbing over the bar will be the best recourse.
The bounty hunter thug who withstood Cassandra's magic looks wildly about him, beginning to look panicked. He whirls on Aridha, perhaps seeing her as a barrier to the possibility of escape. The desperate thug strikes Aridha hard in the mouth with his sap, bringing blood to the young woman's lips.
The second thug remains unconscious on the floor.
Coldan is up next...
[sblock=Round 2 Mechanics]
Taren loads his heavy crossbow (full round action)
Bounty Hunter Thug #1 attacks Aridha with sap. Attack roll 18+3=21, HIT! Damage roll 1d6+2=6 Nonlethal. Aridha -6 nonlethal damage.
Bounty Hunter #2 unconscious for 2 more rounds.

Taren will jump up on top of the bar and most likely fire his crossbow at the nearest thug preventing their escape.
(ooc: I may still change that after the rogues have gone, but I'm not sure what they would do to make him change his mind with all that fire urging him out asap.)

COMBAT ROUND 2 (PARTIAL)
Coldan lowers his shoulder and slams into the thug in front of him, trying to push him out the door. The thug tries to bring his sap up to smash Coldan in the head, but is too slow. Unfortunately, the thug is stronger than he looks...he pushes Coldan back, rebuffing the knight's charge.
Torrent yells, "That's enough, this is ridiculous!"as she steps across the unconscious body of the first thug. She slashes at the standing thug with her battleaxe, cutting through his scale armor and drawing blood. The man cries out and collapses to the ground. He seems seriously hurt, but the rise and fall of his chest reveals that he still lives.
Cassandra watches the rogues on the stairs carefully, watching to see what they will do.
Aridha is up next...Shayuri, I'll let you change her action if you want, since her target has now fallen.
[sblock=Combat Mechanics]
Coldan attempts a bull rush on Thug #1. Thug #1 gets an AOO. Attack roll 7+3=10, MISS. STR check, Coldan Roll 12+3=15, Thug roll 16+1=17, Thug Wins, Bull Rush fails.
Torrent takes 5' step, attacks Thug #1 with battleaxe, Attack Roll 12+4=16, HIT! Damage roll 1d8+2=5. Thug #1 -5 hp, falls unconscious.
Cassandra delays.

I assume I can change Xander's action, since his target has dropped as well?
Seeing the nearby thug drops, Xander again calls his psychic powers into play. Running up and over the bar, the large warrior rushes past Taren and then Markus. "By the flames of the hells, get out of here," he yells at his companions as he moves. Coming to a stop at the foot of the stairs, and finding the enemy within reach, he strikes with his heavy blade in hopes of putting the rogue down.
Using Up the Walls to climb the bar, and moving through friendly squares, Xander should be able to get within melee range of R1 without triggering an AoO. Greatsword +3 (2d6+4/19-20)

*Cassandra watches carefully, taking note particularly if any among them quibbles about using a death blow against an opponent who had been careful to attack with nonlethal weapons. Not that she quibbles, of course.*

Battles were chaotic things. Foe, friends, even fire mixed into something that Coldan knew could bring out the worst in people.
As it had with the young scout.
Time slowed down for the veteran, slowed down and forced him to watch as the girl turned her dagger to ruthlessly cut down the unconscious, helpless foe. Did it matter that that same foe had moments before tried to drop his erstwhile companions? That they had used nonlethal means? That they belonged to forces ruthlessly aligned with the slaughter and destruction of all spellcasters, innocent or not?
These things should matter! If not, why crawl out of the bottle? The bottle doesn't care.
But he should.
But in the moment he should have done something, anything, even to just cry out, he could not. Or would not.
He did nothing.
And the dagger flashed in the fire...
