R13T18.2: Visto reacts quickly when the injured bird comes to his side, drawing upon his storm powers to drizzle a soothing rain upon her to heal her wounds (15 healing) and bring her back to full fighting form.

R13T18: Seeing a new opponent appear very close to him, Rodriguez will spin to face the man before attempting to pull him to the ground. The man catches the pole and throws it out of the way by bringing his finely made battleaxe and handaxe to an "X" shape. Rod shouts to his companion. ”Apophis, I need some help over here!”

R13T15: Ozlech, you are in spirit sensing stance. What do you do?

R13T15: See a new adversary enter the hallway, Ozzy Claims him before initiating Fading Strike and appearing behind him flanking with Rod.

”Greetings Bojask.” Ozzy says as he attacks with his conjured shortspear. Ozzy stabs the man in the back of his right thigh for 8.

R13T14: Apophis sees the northern battle is all done. Again, if he had shoulders he would shrug. He hustles down the hallway to be over the body of the fallen bodyguard - between Kwava and Saul.

R13T10: Saul comes up the stairs, using the walls to guide him, slashing wildly at Sol with his key stump.

End Round 13, Begin Round 14 ...

R14T24: At last, Kwava has something to shoot. With a single, perfect shot, he looses his arrow and it goes right into Bojasks's right eye ... killing him instantly.

R14T23: Sol gets away from the crazy blind man with the poisoned key stump of death, moving well north, chugging an extract, and getting 6 healing.

R14T19: Eric, your claim on Pink has ended. What do you do?

R14T19: Eric steps lightly atop the two bodies and looks up the stairs. "All clear this way!" he calls out.

R14T18.3: Now that birds have given their professional courtesy, Ginny is ready to mix it up again. She flutters past Kwava and Apophis to the top of the stairs, pecks at Saul's neck for 4, and keeps going down the hallway past her master and then onto the ground.

R14T18.2: Visto, you currently have a ferocity-bond with Eric. What do you do?

R14T18.2: Visto will delay again, until further action is needed of him. He feels like he's in a good spot where he can go towards either direction if someone actually gets wounded at this point.

R14T15: Moving down the hallway to face Saul, Ozzy says, Your men are down Saul. Time to think about surrender.”

Ozzy maneuvers behind Saul to block his way down the stairs, finding it ridiculously easy against the short, portly, blinded man.

R14T14: Apophis moves into flank with Ozlech. He bites Saul in the lower left calf for 11, grabbing him (and forgoing his tail slap).

R14T10: Saul easily fakes out Apophis, slashing him with the key stump for 10.

End Round 14, Begin Round 15 ...

R15T24: Kwava steps over the bodyguard and from a corner angle shoots at Saul, hitting him in the buttocks for 12. Saul Vancaskerkin goes limp in Apophis' grasp.

R15T23: Sol moves a little closer, but doesn't cross the intersection point to let Rod get in there if he wants.

R15T19: Eric, no danger appears to be coming from above. What do you do?

R15T18: Rushing to stand behind Apophis now that he’s actually injured, Rodriguez will lay a hand on his eidolon to fix some of the damage (9 healing).”He’s right Saul! You’re making this much harder than it needs to be!”

No sooner than he says that than he sees Saul on the stairs but in Apophis' grasp, unconscious.

R15T15: Ozzy, what do you do? Apophis currently has Saul in a grapple, but Saul appears to be unconscious.

R15T15: ”Saul is down! I’ll restrain him someone make sure he isn’t dead or on his way there.” Ozzy calls out as he reaches into his bag for his rope and begins to tie up Saul.

R15T14: Apophis delays, asking Rodriguez, "We ending him?"

End Round 15, Begin Round 16...

R16T24: Kwava and Ganmeed double move to the far northern end of the corridor.

R16T19: Eric gets closer to where the action was, though the fight seems to be over now. He stands astride the fallen bodyguard to peer around the corner to the stairs to see that Saul is unconscious and is being tied up by Ozzy.

R16T18: Rod, combat appears to be over. Apophis is currently holding Saul while Ozzy ties him up. What do you do?

R16T18: Rodriguez turns to his eidolon,”Sorry buddy, maybe later. We need to get some answers first. Should we heal him, or let him let him wake up on his own? It seems like the latter might take a while.” Rodriguez stretches and pulls out a waterskin, casting a spell on it. "Anyone want a drink?”

R16T15: Ozzy finishes tying up Saul, and Apophis releases him.

R16T14: "We done today, or looking northern doors?" Apophis asks Rod.

R17T24-23.5: Kwava and Ganmeed delays ...

R17T23: Sol shrugs. "Any other place, I would have him face justice, but there is no such thing in Riddleport. But I don't like being party to murder if we didn't kill him outright. I say we keep him tied up for now, and see what we can find. He had a hell of a talent pool that left him or were killed, so I'm wondering what it is around here that maybe he was hiding, since technically I was a junior partner with the others. First, though, I am going to check out those other fallen people."

He moves out of the stairwell past Eric, and then looks down at the bodyguard. "I can't tell how he's doing? Visto, you wanna look at this guy? I'm only the most basic of battlefield medicine, not a skilled healer. Hey, Eric, can you step off him please so Visto can get to him?"

R19T19: Still on guard, Eric moves to the next door, opening it as well, reaching past Kwava to open it an angle in doing so. Because he opened it an angle with Kwava in the way, he doesn't see too much, though he thinks he spies a wine rack. A subtle, musty odor wafts out that underlies the spoiled, sweet stench of wine.

R19T17: "Foe Saul is defeated, but alive. Visto does not wish to kill, nor to allow Friends to kill if surrender is possible. As long as Bodyguard does not attack others, Visto promises Friends won't hurt him. Now, Visto must see to others." Visto then heads towards the next fallen foe, invoking his rain on this one to heal her wounds. Assuming the healing is enough to bring her to consciousness, he will address her next. He has to double move to her.

Combat Ends ...

Visto and Sol switch places. The woman miraculously stabilized very close to death, though her male counterpart died of his wounds. Visto invokes his rain on the woman to heal her wounds. As she comes to consciousness fully healed, Visto chides her, "Friend, you have been beaten by Visto and his Friends. Visto does not wish to bring death to others. Foe Saul has been defeated and tied up, but alive. As long as you do not attack Visto or Friends, Visto promises that Friends will not harm you. Please do not make Friends regret Visto's Mercy."

She nods, and sees she hasn't been tied up. "What now?" she asks.

He throws a bomb that lights up a scarred, grizzly, terrible-looking boar. It is a crit that nails the boar in the snout for 19 fire! Sol flies up 10'.

R1T8: With one target moved away, the boar launches itself forward to charge Visto. It leaps up, and gores Visto in the neck for 6.
