The black armored warrior drinks a potion then steps closer to Jules.
Meanwhile the blue armored one takes cover behind the door and the green one moves closer to Jules attacking with his battleaxe.
A wound appears in Jules arm.

The smoke dissipates and within Luminos sees a swarm of bandits on Jules. He immediately tosses both of his stingchucks to try to catch as many as possible. One lands perfectly in the middle of them all, the other bounces to the north, still catches two of the guards in the mayhem.
"Where is everyone, we have so many bandits in here!"
As Peck finishes his spell a cover of grease fills the entrance. The warriors start to shout and slip over it "Oh! Wha-at is that!"
They finally fall prone into the floor. The gnome approaches then getting closer to the melee.
Jules connects a couple of stabs over one of the prone warriors leaving him unconscious with deep bleeding wounds all over his body.
At the same time the samurai arrives in a rage and slashes the other prone warrior with his katana, causing a terrible wound on his back.
The green armored one only defends himself this turn and tries to stand up giving Jules an opportunity to attack him. "Oh no!" shouts while raising his battleaxe to protect himself.

Luminos walks around to be with the party while his tail retrieves a stingchuck from his pack. He then tosses it into the fray of bandits, splashing stinging vermin onto the lot of them.
Luminos throws splash injuries again the warriors in the entrance.
The green armored warrior disabled as he is tries to flee the grease and avoid Jules threat.
But he falls miserably in the grease, again prone!
The blue moves away to the entrance trying to be unnoticed by the woman.

Move: Move 2N of Red
Standard: Throw stingchuck at Red - ranged touch attack vs AC
Effect: DC 11 Fortitude save or nauseated for 1d3 rounds
Deciding the entryway was too crowded for bombs and stingchucks, Luminos heads back around the corner next to the wizard and samurai. His tail retrieves a stingchuck from his belt pouch and Luminos chucks it directly at the bandit in red. Landing a direct hit against the bandit, the impact breaks open the skull and hundreds of centipedes, earwigs, beetles, and spiders pop out and bite, sting, and burrow into the hapless bandit.
Peck steps out of the stairs maintaining his song and retrieves his rapier stabbing it over the prone warrior.
The oriental man goes unconscious after the unexpected attack.
Akiichi slashes through the red armored warrior with his katana causing a terrible wound in his ankle.
Seeing the spot, and understanding the warrior is not going to move, Aikio steps towards the foe and unleashes a precise hit over the warrior.
The gnome's song filtering through the entrance dining room doors is inspiring and the extra strength of the hits are enough to drop the warrior to the floor.
The blue one steps out of the building and then drinks the potion at his hands.
He draws his battleaxe and shouts back at Jules with a clear Tien rural accent "There's no choice for us, you don't know the wrath of Shimazi." he looks back a second, then again to the woman "And you would better run now that you can and save your life. You don't know what he has to throw at you." and he raises the battleaxe and prepares to combat Jules.

Peck will stop his performance (lingering performance allows effects to last 2 more rounds) and move around the grease. Looking at the man in blue he asks "Who is Shimazi? what does he have to throw at us? and yelling "STOP" (the verbal component of the spell ear piercing scream Fort DC =15, failure indicates he is dazed for 1 round and takes
success negates dazed and half damage)
Aiko moves through the dinning room drawing a dagger and trows it at the warrior once he sees him.
The blade hits the warrior on the head.
Jules goes through his defenses as well with a couple of good stabs.
Meanwhile the warrior is up to answer Peck when a piercing sound comes out of the gnomes mouth.
The ears boom bleeding and the wounds are worst due to Pecks inspiration. He fells to the floor unable to handle any more attacks.
The combat is over, but you know they are out there, lurking, planning how to next attack you. There might be little time to react.

Aikio seeks the aid of magic in healing. Please, use mine," she says holding up a thin stick with red jade on it's tip.
"Who can stand watch upstairs? I am going to sit back and study for a while. If I don't make it I don't make it. After healing. Aikio moves into a quiet room on the second floor (time permitting).
Jules approaches the gnome and the stick fully heals the woman's wounds.
Meanwhile Aikio does same with her own wounds.
Luminos get's out the conscript cloths. By his body and cloths, it is clear he was just a farmer somehow pushed to the war. The tiefling gets a potion of cure light wounds from the warrior hands, two alchemist’s fires from his backpack, a leather lamellar armor and a mwk battleaxe.
Akio goes upstairs and looks for some place to focus, but there is no much opportunity as new noise resounds out of the house.
The drizzling rain and fog show no sign of letting up
as the second wave of attackers approach the house. Hidden conscripts start to set on the air fire arrows. They seem to be firing at the barricades and the entrance of the building.
Some of them catch on fire.
The slowly burning barricades are not an immediate threat and will probably burn very slowly. The mist conditions outside make for very slow propagation at any set a fire squares outside, around 1 minute delay.
If the fire propagates to the interior of the house though, it is much easy to burn and each turn would be a 25% chances of propagating.
The flames can be soothed with some clothes and working on the flames for a standard action.
Jules looks at the barricades for a second thinking carefully. They are made of furniture piled up, and thus, are extremely difficult to move. They took even 5 minutes to set them like they are now, and would be not enough time for that approach.
Some survival or Knoledge engineering might work good to know how to better deal with the fire.

"Friends!!Let us retreat to the stair case. Although I do not know what is down there, it is a tighter area on the staircase, allowing our attack to do more damage. With the amount of men out there, it is only a matter of time before this house falls. Let us hide and make them think we have perished."
Peck will then move over to the hidden stair case and open it up.

Luminos eyes light up as the find on the conscript and quickly goes to the other bandits to loot them as well. He places the potions and alchemist fires into his handy haversack for easy retrieval later. He also takes 4 alchemist fires and 2 potions into his belt pouch. Luminos also decides to consume an ant haul extract in case he needs to do any lifting.

Aikio runs to the largest concentration of fire.
"The mist and drizzle will keep the barricade from burning too quickly. Once the flame get inside we could see a much different situation." She points to one of the journals on her hip marked 'Things That Burn.' "I didn't even need the book for that. We can sooth the flames with some wet clothes. I suggest Luminos and I work on that part if the rest of you can keep an eye on the enemies and keep him supplied with appropriate gear."
She looks around briefly at her companions and almost tucks her beak into her shoulder, but the red and orange silks remind her of who she is. "Well. This is why they call me Aikio the Red!" If her beak could smile it would.
Her feathers turn bright red as she works her magic. The flame leaves the barrier and wraps itself around her like a cloak. She takes a moment to put that fire out. Just like at the gnome's cottage and the vineyards I mentioned earlier.
Remembering the story time she says, "Someone should check on the venture-captain and our host."
Aikio brings the flames around herself.
The archers send another wave of fire arrows flying against the house.
This time 4 of the arrows succeed to light different barricades and windows of the house.
The archers are within the island rocks and vegetation. You cannot clearly see them but you would say at least 6 are hidden that way. There are at least 3 different campfires from where they are lighting their arrows.
