Leik takes out another one of the first guys to enter.
Larissa have aoo. Edwin's acted so far this round.
"We have to stop these people before they get to Hugo or the guards, lest this turns into a blood bath..."
N´Kai turns his magical senses inwards and finds what he is looking for among the magical formulae stored in his mind. Armed with the spell that he needs, he calmly walks towards the gate, ignoring the surrounding chaos. Positioning himself just beyond the reach of the last of the invaders inside the courtyard, he again uses his illusion powers to knock out some of his opponents...
"Leik, let´s hold this position and make sure no more of them get through the gate" he tells the reliable bug-fighter.
N'kai takes out four of them. They're the "c's".
Larissa has an aoo. Edwin and N'kai have acted so far this round.
Larissa steps back from the door and casts Darkness on the chest of her armor.
"When you die needlessly from this foolishness, who will feed your children?"
The red "m" is a guy with a torch. "m" is for "mob."
She took one out.
"NO! IT'S NOT WORTH DIEING FOR! SO GET OUT OF THE WAY, AND QUIT TRYING TO MEDDLE IN OUR AFFAIRS!!!" one of them responds.
"I cannot watch an innocent die. You've been led astray by malicious rumors and free alcohol. Who do you think paid for your party tonight? Why does he want the wrong one to die?"
"We're warning you! We're seeing that justice is served tonight! It's been a long time coming, and we're sick and tired of you outlander people and your weird misplaced concern for a filthy creature like the Beast!
The Beast will terrorize this town no longer!!!"
"Stand down! Dobitoc is not the one terrorizing your town - it's one that looks a whole lot more like you!"
"Come on!" Rholf yells at his two companions, then darts back to the courtyard, heedless of potential attacks, thoroughly berating himself in his mind for abandoning the gate and weakening Dobitoc's defenses.
The elf draws his blade menancing the crowd as he calls to the others to get back to the jail.
Larissa, Rholf, Edwin and N'kai have acted so far this round.
Aethor's holding action until he's attacked.

Leik's up to bat.
Leik attacks the nearest 'm' with his fire whip after charging it with his psychically destructive energy.
vs touch AC
Leik hits him and wound him really bad.
Their turn:
Firstly, the four starting in AE 14, AE 15, AF 15, and AG 17 rush past Rholf and Larissa to the stairway down on the west wall. Both of them get AOO's on one each of those four. I placed them in ac 10-13; when we determine aoo's whoever is remaining will be down the stairs and into the jail area instead of just standing there on the stairway like that.
The guy in AC 19 tries to overrun Leik, whose CMD I believe to be 18 and doesn't win. Leik can aoo him if he likes.
Several attempt to overrun as the main body moves up; most fail. Three get by Leik into the courtyard.
Ends up three of the guys are able to overrun Leik and break through to the courtyard; Leik could aoo one of these guys, and Nev can as well.
Leik is also targeted by four bricks, and Nev is targeted by three bricks. Nev is hit twice, for 8 hp damage. One was a crit.
Then, the five guys around AM-AP 21-25 charge Aethor and Edwin. Aethor can hold attack one of them.
Also, four guys just north of the crashed wagon roll in and attack those two as well.
Aethor gets hit once by the four guys on him for 5 hp damage. He also gets hit with a brick from the crowd for 2 hp.
Edwin gets hit twice by the five guys on him for 10 hp damage. He gets hit by one brick for 3 hp.
Then,....it's group's attack.
Leik will AoO one of the ones that get past him in the hopes of dropping him.
On his turn, he turns the torch in AC 20 into a chocking cloud of smoke.
Smoke Cloud: A stream of smoke billows out from the fire, forming a choking cloud that spreads 20 feet in all directions and lasts for 1 round per class level. All sight, even darkvision, is ineffective in or through the cloud. All within the cloud take –4 penalties to Strength and Dexterity (Fortitude negates, DC 10 + ½ class level + Charisma modifier). These effects last for 1d4+1 rounds after the cloud dissipates or after the creature leaves the area of the cloud. Power resistance does not apply. (DC 12)
And he charges his whip.
If I ever say Nev I mean Nkai.
Same with Elgan and Edwin.
You guys are lucky my son isn't the dungeonmaster. He says I should have one of them big ass mammoths from LOTR come into the plaza.
Edwin, trying to get to his feet, is pummeled by brawling men and clipped by a flying brick. He holds his temple, blood flowing from beneath his fingers.
"How did I blunder so badly?" He hisses in pain. He seems unable to accept the fact. (Not that it was mishandled, but that it could have been HIS fault.)
He spits a word in another language, possibly a curse, and he Vanishes from sight.
"Get to the Jail! Quickly!" He hisses to Aethor. The detective then reassesses the situation, and ducks between the two nearest townspeople, trying to get to a clear space.
Leik's aoo doesn't drop one.
Nkai, Aethor, and Edwin are in Leik's smoke cloud, and need to save. They can't see either.
Edwin can't see where he's going. He needs to roll a save too.
Edwin randomly stumbles into AB 25. He can move through his spot and keep moving; pick a spot to end in.....you're out of the cloud, just not where you thought you were going.
edit he doesn't aoo Edwin since Edwin's invisible.
Then, the five guys around AM-AP 21-25 charge Aethor and Edwin. Aethor can hold attack one of them.
Also, four guys just north of the crashed wagon roll in and attack those two as well.Aethor gets hit once by the four guys on him for 5 hp damage. He also gets hit with a brick from the crowd for 2 hp.
Aethor hold attack on townsperson / damage
His attack is to cut another idiot and move back as best he can through the smoke towards the jail
Attack on idiot / damage which misses.
Aethor's aoo takes out the townsdude.
He misses his next attack; the movement
He moves about 10 feet, bumps into somebody, and gets aoo'd for 5 hp damage by a lucky swing.
Need Edwin to roll a save, and to choose where he's moving from AB 25; he's out of the cloud, invisible, and has 25 more feet to move.
Rholf, Larissa, and N'kai have their aoo's, and everybody but Aethor hast their attacks except for Edwin, who has the remainder of his move.
Larissa hit one with an aoo, but he's not down.
Note: the four guys on the stair are either hit/killed by Larissa and Rholf's available aoo's or.....down the stairs.
Larissa follows the mob-men, casting create water on the leader's torch.
N'Kai attacks one of the mob members that managed to get past Leik
He then finds his vision obscured by Leik's smoke. He decides to reach out and touch the wall to his left to make sure he is in the right place and then move back to the courtyard and out of the cloud.
right on. I guess I gotta wait til Rholf does his aoo, then we can do the rest of that; don't know how many are left even at this point.
There's a map of the basement now; just waiting for Rholf's aoo to move them down there.
It is in the building east of the main street scene, since I kinda doubt anybody'll end up fighting in that building; who knows though?....
Larissa follows the mob-men, casting create water on the leader's torch.
I'll pick up there when Rholfy does his bit.

[dice= Fort Save] 1d20+7
He's able to do that.
N'kai Nev Sureblade is able to take out one of the mob with his aoo as well.
Need Edwin to roll a save, and to choose where he's moving from AB 25; he's out of the cloud, invisible, and has 25 more feet to move.
Rholf, has his aoo, and Rholfy has his attack. Edwin has the remainder of his move. And, when Rholfy's aoo is done, I can determine the setup for the rest of Larissa's turn.
Leik, N'kai (I got it right), and Aethor are done; just need Edwin, Rholfy, and then Larissa can do her thing.
;P
:
Edwin must have seen it coming, or taken a breath at the right moment. He stumbles out of the crowd, takes a breath of clear air none the worse for wear, and gets his bearings.
"Oh bloody he!!,..." Edwin mutters as he realizes where he is.
'HOW did this go so wrong?!? I'm usually so good at manipulating public opinion.' Edwin berates himself silently.
His invisible features suddenly crease into an almost diabolical grin.
'And at changing it! Time to sow the little voice of reason into this otherwise unreasonable group of miscreants!'
Edwin sidles through the edge of the crowd, nimbly keeping out of reach of the people he passes by, and staying between them and the burning cloud of smoke. As he passes persons, he calls out in different voices,...
"Oi! AI ain't gonner git kilt fer dis!"
"Deh munster ain't wurth it!"
"Those guys are crazy! Run!"
,... in an attempt to convince members of the crowd that their friends are leaving, and they should join them.
Edwin moves through the crowd, invisible, trying to sew discord.
Rholfy's aoo, then Larissa can do the rest of her bit.
