Victor follows after Belril, hoping to spot Nualia and finish her off. "Where is she?!"
Belril moves father away from the others and sees the fleeing demon woman in the cathedral chamber.
As Belril chases after Naulia, Victor follows closely behind. Amekio coughs as her voice gives out ending her inspiring song. Tsuto turns and goes away disappearing from the doorway at the top of the stairs.
"Ameiko!" Sophy calls. "The stairs are clear! Quick, let's go!"
Sophy hold Orik's sword out for him making it ready for him to grab.
Nualia races around the corner and disappears from Belril and Victors sight. Eponine is alone in the prison cell chamber.
Eponine will pick up her curved blade and move to M20.
Eponine snatches up her sword and quickly runs back into the entry hall, then darts north after Belril and Victor. Orik shakes his head, reaches back and grabs his blade roughly out of Sophy's hands and lurches upstairs chasing after the half elf.
Wren glances around to make sure that Ameiko is coming, and being satisfied she was moving, took the opportunity to get out of the damned stairwell.
As soon as Orik takes the sword from Sophy's hands, she follows him and waits at the top of the stairs to make sure Ameiko makes it up safely. As the Tien woman passes her, she reaches out a comforting hand to give her strength.
Kern glances towards the prison cells, tempted to go retrieve his flail. He doesn't want to fall behind the others though, so hurries down the hall after Victor and Belril.
Sophy hurries up the stairs following Orik, but stops and turns to wait for Ameiko to make it to the top. Wren comes up next, and slides past the healer. Kern glances towards where his flail was, but opts to chase after Victor and Belril.
"Good idea. She will not escape us much longer." Victor turns and heads back toward the cells.
Belril hustles into the sanctuary and sees the demon armed woman pressed against the wall next to the closed door that leads back to the prison cells. Victor spins about and heads back the other way hoping to cut her off.
Belril's stone catches the demon-armed woman on the shoulder. Ameiko half stumbles, half crawls up the stairs to collapse at Sohpy's feet. Sophy kneels down and touches her letting a wave a healing warmth flood through the inn keeper's body. Ameiko looks up at her and weakly says, "Thank you."
In the entry room of the stockade, Orik is struck in the back by an arrow the streaks through the open door behind him.
Nualia darts at Belril and slashes at the halfling with her bastard sword. With a grunt she lands a devastating blow on the the little man's shoulder.

Round 15-
Bleeding profusely after a howl of pain from a powerful sword blow that almost cut right through his shoulder, Belril fought for space, spinning away from the melee on his heel while simultaneously reloading his sling- firing two more sling stones at Nualia from point-blank range, dancing away from her sword.
His first stone glanced from her breastplate but Belril was quick to take the smug smile from her face as his second slingstone threatened to crack her forehead open.
Eponine rushes up to the door with the sounds of fighting coming from it. Seeing Belril's confrontation raging on, Eponine moves to join the engagement and distract her for Kern.
Double move to I13 by moving around behind Belril.
Eponine circles around behind her halfling companion, a combatant's stare affixed on her face as she edges in close to Nualia. As the elf steps close, the demon tainted woman lashes out at her with her long bladed sword. Eponine attempt to attract their enemies attention works, but it finds her on the bloody end of Nualia's blade. Eponine spits blood and collapses to the ground, crimson spilling out from the wound in her belly.

Orik turns, flings himself towards the courtyard door and slams it shut shouting, "Get her out of here! We need to go now!"
Wren runs after Orik, heading for the nearest exit.
Kern rushes forward, sword raised and brings it down at Nualia.
Wren darts across the first room of the stockade and out into the sunlight. The pile of dead is already beginning to offer up a foul aroma.
Kern hefts his sword and maneuvers his way into the cathedral getting closer to his foe.
Belril fires his sling once, the bullet soaring high and bounces off the stone ceiling. Then he rears back and slings another bullet that streaks the short distance from his hands to Nualia's forehead. Her eyes roll back and she falls straight back to the floor, her blade clanging on the floor.
"Ameiko, quickly, follow Wren!" Sophy urges the tavernkeeper, pointing her to the door with sunlight streaming in. Then she moves over behind Orik, drawing her dagger as she nods up to him bravely. "I won't leave you alone in here. I'll keep you on your feet." She considers a moment, then adds, "But if you say run, I'll run with you." She offers him a weak smile.
Victor double strides up the short flight of steps and sees Eponine standing over the demon armed woman who lies flat upon her back.
Sophy summons up some courage and moves to back Orik in his fight against Tsuto, but is ready to flee should the warrior get the hint.
With some new strength due to the healing, Ameiko quickly follows after Wren, "Yes, we need to get out of this wretched place."
Seeing Nualia lying flat on the ground, "Is she dead?"
