[sblock=ooc]I'm just trying to convey how forceful Liiros is talking. He can't do anything to help Rashelle as long as she stays put in the line of fire. I don't even know if he'd be able to hit the half-orc from where Torrent was standing, since the stairway wall may give the half-orc cover or full cover. I don't presume to control anyone else's character, but I am trying to convey Liiros' forcefulness in the current situation.
Do whatever you want with Rashelle, I'm just doing what Liiros would, which is trying to get her out of harm's way and out of his way so he can do something about her attacker. He's an elf, and some degree of arrogance/self-importance is normal in an elven personality. And Corellon didn't give him his combat abilities so he could squander them, as he sees it; he has a duty to fulfill.
If Rashelle just ignores the elf, he'll leave her to her own devices and go outside to help the others. He just isn't as aware of their danger yet.[/sblock]

Staring at the enemies before him, Korrin allows a smile to cross his face as the flames erupt behind them. He switches his defensive stance and a thin red glow emits from his skin momentarily and then disappears.
"Yes, let's see how much you like the flame's" Korrin agrees with the mage, his falchion trailing a flame as he strikes at the foe, but the narrow confines of the alley hamper his more open fighting style.

The two thugs at the end of alley smile as another unarmored individual enters the alley. They look confused when Hollister makes his comment about fire. Then the fiery burst explodes in front of them. It singes the dog and one of the thugs, but both remain up and ready to fight. Korrin's flaming blade does even less, missing both thugs and their big dog, too.
All the fiery attacks heat the air. When the attacks are over, the hot air rises. Cold air rushes in behind it. The PCs all shift further back into the alleyway.
[sblock=OOC]That's everyone but Rashelle and Liiros, who are still inside the Poison Apple with Torrent.[/sblock]

Liiros turns away after waiting a few moments and seeing that it's pointless. He hustles over towards the front door that the first attackers came in through, and he steps outside to see what the situation is out there.
[sblock=ooc]Double-move to the front door and just outside it, moving 5 feet out from there towards the open plaza or whatever. He's just going to assume the Heironean has her own tactics in mind and will cede the stairs to her.
So wasting my last turn and going outside now to get out of the burning building. Not my preference, but oh well, Liiros is slow-moving in his armor and has limited options, since he's no caster. Just a tank that heals with violence.
Changing stance to Martial Spirit.
Maneuver rolls: 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 1, 4, 1, 3, 1. End of my turn resets my granted maneuvers, to numbers 3, 4, and 5, so Leading the Attack, Stone Bones, and Vanguard Strike.
10d5=30
Status: HP 13 / 18, Nonlethal 0, AC 19, Touch 11, Flat-Footed 18
Active Stance: Martial Spirit
Granted Maneuvers: Vanguard Strike, Leading the Attack, Stone Bones
Other Ready Maneuvers: Charging Minotaur (option 1), Crusader's Strike (option 2)
Expended Maneuvers: None[/sblock]

'He's right' Rashelle thought to herself as Torrent left too. With a glance upwards at the Orc, she feinted an attack and then dove past him, heading for the exit.
[sblock=actions]
My fancy way of saying Rashelle takes a withdraw action. Now that I understand the layout a bit better, I see that If I move down to F6 with my first 5 feet he can no longer attack me and thus no AoO, then finish my move by heading to the door (Preferably avoiding fire if possible)
AC 19, HP 5(3 subdual)

As Liiros and Rashelle head out the broken front door of the building, they do their best to navigate the burning debris, but no safe route can be found.
The half-orc at the bottom of the stairs {M4} starts to chase after Rashelle, but is stopped short by Torrent as she hacks at him with her battleaxe. The half-orc drops unconscious, bleeding on the floor.
Outside in the alleyway, the unscorched thug {M6} drops his sap, draws a light crossbow, and shoots at Korrin. The scorched thug {M5} kicks his (also scorched) dog {D1} into the alley and follows close behind. The dog snaps at Korrin. The thug tries to hit Korrin with his sap but can't get close enough.
Realizing she's the last person in the pub, Torrent hustles after Liiros and Rashelle. She can't avoid the burning debris, though, and gets singed.
The man in grey plate outside backs his horse up. Though armed and armored, he doesn't appear to preparing to attack anyone.
OOC: That's another round. Everyone can go again.
[sblock=OOC]There's no way for Liiros and Rashelle to reach either door without going through one square of burning debris. Both of you need to make a DC 10 reflex save or take 3 (Liiros) or 1 (Rashelle) hp of fire damage.
M6 rolled 18 to-hit Korrin for 6 points of damage from the crossbow. He attacked after Korrin backed down the alleyway but before D1 moved, so it should be an attack without cover and not firing into melee.
I'm having trouble copy-pasting over the second floor map with outside ground grid. If I can get it working tonight I'll post another map, but for now just assume 11-15:A-J is open street.[/sblock]

Now that Korrin was in his desired location he calls back over his shoulder. "You keep hitting them, I'll hold them off" he says, grimacing at the bolt sticking out of his thigh.
He turns to the dog and focuses on the strength and durability of a mountain as Korrin swings the falchion at the poor mutt.

Hollister laughs aloud, a haughty, arrogant laugh...the laugh of someone who sees something that his foes apparently don't. "That's right," he says under his breath. "Bunch up." With a grim smile on his lips, he let's loose another blast of flame...he doesn't care so much about the nearby building, as long as it takes down his foes.

Liiros Tivaniel
The elven warrior sees some thugs blocking the alley, so he realizes that those he sent outside may be in trouble. Liiros moves in to rectify that, by clanking over to the nearest thug in his heavy armor and bringing his sword down upon the troublemaker! Unfortunately, he just grazes the thug.
However, Liiros draws upon Corellon's insight to strike just so, drawing up some earthen forces to gird him against retaliation for a few moments. He also feels some of his pain from the burns subside.
As he does all this, Liiros glances at the horseman and calls out "Who are you, and are you responsible for this?! We won't let you burn Gate Pass and assault her citizens!"[sblock=ooc]Liiros should actually be in J-10 at the start of this round. AFAIK the baddies already bust open the front door, and he only had to pass through one burning square before making a diagonal, and then going around the next burning square to go out the door and step a bit closer to the thugs threatening the alley.
I'll edit in his Reflex save after my question in the OOC thread is answered regarding the frequency of saves.
Liiros moves to N-10 and attacks M(5) with Stone Bones, applying the +1 from Torrent's Guidance spell to his attack roll. If Liiros hits, he gains DR 5/adamantine for 1 round. First roll is the attack, second is damage to M5, third through fifth are for determining his next maneuver granted.
1d20+5+1=24, 1d8+2=3, 5d5=14
I rolled a 24 to hit, so I'm going to assume that hits......for a measely 3 damage to M(5). But, Liiros gets his DR 5/adamantine for 1 round, and his Martial Spirit stance heals him of 2 damage, bringing Liiros to 15 HP. Rolled 2, 2, 5, 3, and 2 for granted maneuver, so he's granted Crusader's Strike.
