Giles unloads his blunderbuss on the orc and dog, being careful not to hit Zigil with the cone of pellets (note scatter shot ignores concealment).
He then stows the blunderbuss.
The pellets from Giles' blunderbuss rip into both the orc and the dog, and the dog collapses. The orc doesn't look like she should be standing either.
Eldan moves up to AI59 and casts a spell.

Morgrom's smell Eldan's spell damages the raider.
As Grodar bends to pick up his weapon, the orc dishonourably strikes at him.
Grodar is wounded heavily, and his counterstrike goes wide.
Slei will attempt to fire at the orc through the smoke.
The orc is heavily wounded, and seems to be slowing, but tenaciously continues her assault against Grodar, dropping the guardsman.
The orc then steps towards Giles.

Giles draws his sword and attacks.
Garm licks Grodar's face with a slobbery tongue.
"We have to rescue Zigil and Grodar fast!"
GM: Does she seem to be wearing an amulet or other device that could be causing this effect?
Giles strikes down the beast master with a powerful blow.
"Quickly, we must get Master-iss Ziggy out of the smoke." Holding his breath, Eldan moves up and tries to drag Ziggy out of the smoke.
Eldan manages to get in and drag Ziggy clear.

The party manages to reconvene near The Killin' Ground. Grodar and Zigil are unconscious but stable. Garm eats some grass at the side of the building.
Eldan says, "Do any of you have any potions of healing?" He then begins rummaging through Ziggy's gear for the banner. Once he has it, he inspects it to see if he can trigger it in some way.
I will rummage through Zigils things in the hopes of finding a healing potion.
If I find one I will feed it to him.
Zigil regains consciousness.
"Blessings of Iomedae"
"Gather round friends, champions of Trunau." Zigil unfurls the banner. "Gather the fallen and the weary unto me."
When everyone is gathered beneath the banner, she speaks the words given to her by Jingh, "Under the shield of the Inheritor, our sword-arms shall not weary!"
Zigil moves to the center of the group, and calls on Iomedae for healing
And then, she will cast on Grodar.
"We have six potions of cure light left." She hands two to Giles, and two to Grodar, one to Slei, and one to Eldan.
We search for treasure!
The orc beast-tamer was wearing leather armour, and armed with an orc double-axe and 3 javelins. She had a bag of caltrops and a belt pouch which contains 2 flasks of acid, 2 potions, and 36 gp. When detect magic is cast, the potions and her scabbard show magical auras.
potion:
potion:
scabbard:
Zigil determines that the potions are both cure light wounds.
The scabbard looks like it would hold one end of the double-axe.
However, as Zigil looks at it and thinks about a longsword, it re-shapes itself so it could hold a longsword.
Eldan is also unable to determine if the scabbard does anything beyond changing shape.
"Hmph well I'll take the thing if you're just going to stand around staring at it."
"Well, let's get to the next beacon."
The green smoke still fills the area between the burning trees.
"We need to get to the Hopespring somehow. Should we try to sneak past the looters to get there, or risk going through the smoke?"
"I say we go straight through. Everyone hold your breath, and we'll stretch a rope between us so no one gets lost. If we hurry through the smoke shouldn't hurt us."
Before going through, Zigil will scan the way ahead with detect magic on the off-chance that there are more magic-carryin' miscreants.
"Couldn't we get there by going back and around past the commons? Or just sneak through those ruined buildings to the right of the looters? I don't like Garm's odds of making it through that smoke."
"Senaking past the orcs shouldn't be so hard. There is plenty of cover."

Can we fit between the building at the west wall and the wall itself? Does the smoke extend that far?
