In severe pain from her arrow wounds and seeing no way to win the battle without risking more arrows, Eleri dismisses her summoned hound, drops to her knees and puts her hands up.

Caladrius finishes off another spearman, leaving only the archer and the as yet unseen illusionist.
Eleri dismisses her summons and surrenders.
The archer moves to -C22, where he can get a clearer shot on Caladrius, which he takes. His shot goes wide and harmlessly impacts the boulder.
The light show continues, and a female voice calls out "Done! The key is destroyed! Orders, sir?"

"Well, I could only find 2 evil beings, and it sounds like there's more than that number screaming. Look, this has been a trying day already, the last thing I want is the death of a few innocent people on my conscience. Are you coming with me, or am I gonna have to go by myself?"

" This day just keeps getting worse and worse..."
Martin glances around at the burning forest and says, " Fine, I'm coming with you, but we're in and we're out. If the situation is too bad in their, I'm getting out. Guard's code be damned."

Gareth draws his bow and notches an arrow, ready to fire when necessary. He isn't concerned with sneaking around, as there isn't much time to lose, and sticks tightly with the others. He is probably in the front or close to the front. Possible formations include:
M
G
J

The longhouse consists of a single long room. It is crudely furnished with an ugly brown rug and a pair of wooden armchairs and a small table in the area by the door, while a number of weathered trunks are set against the walls around the room. At the far end of the room there are four crude cots set up, while between them and the rug stand a pair of tables, a number of stools, and a stone tub filled with water. Along the walls are the mounted heads and antlers of various creatures. Of these, the most notable is the massive reptilian head mounted on the far wall, facing you as you enter.
There are the several days old remains of a meal on the tables. The inhabitants will not get a chance to finish their meal, however. Three corpses lie in pools of blood on the floor - two men and a child. The bodies look several days old and have been partially eaten.
Hidden around various places in the cabin are 4 snakes. They are long, black creatures with red stripes and goblin-like heads. They seem to be watching you with cold fascination, and they quickly fan the air with their tongues. One of them, hiding in the shadows beneath the south table, is significantly bigger than the other 3.

"These people're really dead; we should go. There's somethin' magical here, maybe in that chest." He points to the chest at B10. "We should go."

Gareth sees the dead bodies on the ground, snarls, then turns his drawn bow towards the shadows under the north table.
He yells, "Snake things! There's one in the chest!"
And nods his head over towards the chest to his right and in front of him.
He then fires two shots under the table at the snake in D6

"AH! There it is! AH!" Jamros fires at the big bad snake thing with his crossbow.
"Why 'mI still 'ere?! A fight while runnin' from a fire? Let's get out!" If Martin doesn't run off, Jamros, for some reason, reloads his crossbow rather than running for it. If Martin does, he shifts to E1 rather than reloading and says "Gareth, we gotta get OUT!"

Unsure of the situation, Martin opts to wait and see what transpires.
Jamros' bolt strikes the big snake in H7, causing it to hiss angrily.
The snake in H4 moves to G3 and lunges at Martin, striking at him with its fangs. It impacts Martin's shield harmlessly.
The snake in D6 slithers to D3 and attacks the weakest-looking foe: Jamros. The wily halfling is able to evade the bite, however.
The snake in H10 slithers slowly out of the tub, coiling menacingly atop a corpse in F7.
The big snake, angry at having been shot, slithers rapidly to F4 and unleashes a loud, piercing shriek.

Step to -C22. Sense Motive : If I take another step (to -B22, putting the archer between us, do I think he'll take the AoO. If I don't think so, I'll do it. Otherwise stop and take the total defense action.

Fort Save:
Gareth seems to be unaffected by the serpent's shriek. With two serpents hissing in his face, he tumbles to D5 (a difficult feat given his armor and equipment) and takes a shot at the large snake.

[spoiler=Goblin Group]Jamros lets out a High nervous laugh as he takes a step back to E1. He then fires again at the big bad snake:

Hey, I just realized that the acrobatics tumble I took was illegal since I counted 2 diagonals as 10 ft instead of 15. I am instead taking a 5ft shift to G2, provoking an AoO from the snake in G3 and taking the same shot at the big snake. Sorry for the confusion.

Seeing the snake in G3 rebound from its failed strike, Martin slashes at it with his sword, bisecting the beast. Stepping up, he then bashes the larger snake in the face with his shield.
Jamros's bolt also strikes the big snake, but it does not penetrate very far.
The snake that could not reach you earlier does so now, slithering to G4, where it strikes unsuccessfully at Martin.
Infuriated by the number of wounds it has sustained, the big snake lashes out at Martin with its fangs. It scores a deep wound on the warrior's sword arm . The snake then backs off from its assault, shifting to E5.
Meanwhile, the snake that attacked Jamros last turn will do so again, slithering to E2 in the process. As with its last attempt, it fails to connect with its target.

Caladrius's "surrender" act almost works, but the Captain seems to believe Pygrado's warning!
Eleri continues to surrender.
Having failed to capitalize on the opening given by Pygrado, he moves toward Caladrius and swings as hard as he can, missing once again. "Get back to Lord Stronginthearm's camp and report in! I'll handle these fools!" He shouts to the other voice.
At this point, a pair of blue bolts fly out from beyond the boulder, striking Pygrado .

Martin flicks the blood of the first snake off his blade and advances on it's larger brother, 5ft stepping to E4.

Gareth fires two shots at the remaining snakes. He will fire at the large snake until it drops. If the first shot drops the snake, he will target the snake in E2 by Jamros.

Martin attacks the large snake as well, but it is surprisingly nimble and is able to avoid both sword and shield.
Jamros, meanwhile, charges up his hand with fiery energy and tries to b##&*slap the closest snake. He fails .
Irritated by the halfling's flaming hand waving around in its face, the snake in E2 makes another attempt at biting Jamros. Unsurprisingly, it misses once more.
The snake in G4 slithers to F3 to harass Gareth, only to fail utterly to connect.
The large snake continues to attack Martin, but Martin is able to turn its strike aside with his shield.

Seeing Gareth's victory, Martin turns and swings at the snake harassing Gareth, neatly bisecting it. He then steps to F3 and brutally smashes the snake in E2 with his shield, sending it flying into the wall in D1, where it falls prone.
Jamros, seeing the now-vulnerable snake lying stunned on the ground, hits it hard with his fiery palm, burning it to a crisp as he tumbles overhead.

Gareth senses the building heating up. "S++@! The fire! We need to hurry!", he exclaims loudly.
He double moves to D9. "One of you untie the horses!"
