Dustan takes the extra time to decapitate the creature, unwilling to leave such a foe at his rear before moving to the door to try to relive those holding the monsters out.
Marco chugs a potion of Greater Healing.
He then uses a bonus action to dash to the back of the precinct.
Come! We need t'stop this jail break!
Khalid casts Mage Armor (AC now 15), then sticks close behind Marco.
"Lead the way my friend."
As Derrick leads the group through the streets, he appreciates the precautions being taken, although the stubborn business of the night ladies and their peers is bothersome. Still, he remembers how things are on the streets and among the poor, and on some level he can't help but feel for their plight.
His reverie is broken by the loud sound and plume of smoke. It takes him only a moment to realize what must be taking place. "An attack on the station!" Without pause, he dashes off into the evening, moving as rapidly as he can for his companions, although he doesn't yet draw on his ki to speed him further.
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Early Evening - Marco, Khalid, & Dunstan
Dunstan rushes to the door to aid Crier in holding it.
Dunstan's might holds the door firmly, for now at least they'll not get in this way!
The last Constable in the front stands near the door weapon drawn in case they can push past Dunstan and Crier.
Marco and Khalid race to the back!
The monsters press on the door again.
Again Dunstan and Crier are up to the challenge!
The last Constable wavers, "Should I head to the back?!"
As Marco and Khalid reach the back they see that the cell which "Inspector Logan" occupied has been obliterated by some sort of pistol powder! The two Constables lie dead in the rubble as three of the Jackalman creatures pull the now dead "Constable" from the rubble.
Blackchapel - Early Evening - Bannock & Derrick & Zook
As Derrick announces what has befallen, the three mnks race along with him to the Station. Wyatt races there as well.

Hodor!!
Marco dashes to the other side of the jackalmen. He then attacks one of the xreatures to prevent escape.
Khalid unleashes a barrage of Magic Missiles at one of the Jackalmen.
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Front - Early Evening - Dunstan
The door begins to open when the Constable runs up and presses it closed again! "They may be through any moment, what do we do?" he cries.
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Back - Early Evening - Marco & Khalid
Marco and the Jackal exchange blows with Marco getting the worst of it as the Jackal heals most of the wounds dealt by Marco's blade! That same Jackal is struck by Khalid's spell which wounds i greatly!
The other two meanwhile continue to drag the "Inspector's" body away from the rubble that is the back of the station.
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Back - Early Evening - Marco & Khalid
Marco attacks with both weapons.
Seeing that Marco seems to have one Jackleman in hand, Khalid turns to the others, not wanting them to escape with the "Inspector".
"I am sorry gentlemen, you will not be leaving."
Help me brace the doors! Get over here man!
Dunstan strains trying to hold the enemy out!
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Front - Early Evening - Dunstan
The door is forced open and cracks, it is clear that it will simply not hold any further.
Next round you must either flee to the back or face these creatures!
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Back - Early Evening - Marco & Khalid
Jackalwere 1 Attacks Marco - Claw Attack 1 - Claw Damage . Attack 2 - Claw Damage .
Jackalwere 2 HP=5/22. Khalid's Rays Strike the Jackalwere. Attacks Khalid - Claw Attack 1 - Claw Damage . Attack 2 - Claw Damage .
Jackalwere 3 HP=22/22.
Marco's attacks further bleed the Jackalwere but it's not down yet and strikes him back. The first claw rips the flesh of Marco's shoulder while the second narrowly misses.
The second creature, enraged by the fire charges at Khalid. Like it's companion the first claw strike connects with the Vistani wizard though blessedly the second misses.
The third, hefts the body over his shoulder and turns to leave the rubble his gait low to the ground like that of an ape!
You cannot see the inside of the station from your vantage point. You all act at the end of Round 6, go ahead and finally post your actions!
Marco attacks with both weapons again, attempting to end the creature.

Bannock comes to a quick stop in his tracks, nearly falling over, but he manages to regain his balance. "Methinks we must seek another entry to the building. Such chaos spawn are quite hardy. Had I my full powers, I would crash against them, but the fight with the investigator has left me too depleted to enter such a fight with any assurance of success."
Derrick nods to Bannock. "I understand. You look for a way around back--I think there's one down that way. I'll distract them here." He turns to the other monks. "Brothers, you can do what you must here. Aid me in this battle or help Brother Bannock reach the rear. But this threat must be quelled."
With that, Derrick draws his swords and moves in to engage.
Khalid tries to catch as many of the jacklemen as possible in another spray of fire.
Dex save DC 14 for half
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Front - Early Evening -
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Back - Early Evening -
Sword and Sorcery act in concert to bring low the two creatures battling them. Their shrieks of agony can be heard echoing down the block!
The third creature though is nowhere to be seen when the flare of Khalid's fire dies down.
Marco
The monks nod to Derrick, one states, "Come Brother Bannock, let us split up and approach fro opposite sides!" One comes with you, the other two head in the other direction.
Derrick takes the opportunity of his hidden arrival to stab forward with one of his swords, although he doesn't commit fully to the attack just yet.
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Front - Early Evening -
To me! Flee not!
The armoured warrior brings his Greatsword around and prepares to strike.
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Front - Early Evening -
Marco uses the double movement of the SS of Quickness to track down the retreating Jackalman.
Come, Khalid! We cannot let him escape with the evidence!
"Right behind you Marco!"
If Khalid gets within line of sight of the Jacklewere he'll cast Ray of Frost
If it hits, the creatures speed is reduced by 10 until the end of Khalids next turn.
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Back - Early Evening - Marco & Khalid
Khalid can only get out of the back of the building and throw an errant spell at the creature. Marco though uses the weapon of the Inspector to foil the plot to secure his remains!
Srill his strikes fail to find purchase on the fleeing creature who continues to move with all due haste away from you both!
You and the Brother race to find a through way to the rear of the Constable Station. The Brother is somewhat faster though and rounds the corner of an alley ahead of you.
Having overtaken the retreating monster, Marco continues his attack on the Jackalman.
Die already, ya bugger!
"Not so fast there."
Speed reduced by 10 feet, same as before.
Dunstan whirls and using a might stroke attempts to kill one of the creatures.
for add
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Front - Early Evening -
Dunstan's strike staggers the beast but some of teh wounds heal as quickly as he can make them!
Unfortunately, the two Constables cannot take advantage of Dunstan's strike and both men miss.
The Jackals strike out at you all!
Jackal 2 Attacks Crier - Claw Attack 1 - Claw Damage . Attack 2 - Claw Damage .
Jackal 3 Attacks Junior - Claw Attack 1 - Claw Damage . Attack 2 - Claw Damage .
Dunstan's foe cannot bypass the armor of the Nobleman Soldier. Crier is able to sidestep one swipe but is badly injured by the second claw. But grim news circles the allies as the Junior Constable is cut down by the last of the Jackalman!
Just when hope seems lost out form nowhere the form of Derrick appears! His strike does not seem to injure the third foe but his mere presence bolsters the men.
From the street the sound of Wyatt's voice bolsters Dunstam.
Derick had his doubts but t seems that it is indeed Wyatt back with them!
Constable Station in Blackchapel - Back - Early Evening -
The Jackal continues to run despite the slashes at it's back and the frost nipping at his heels!
Despite its slow speed, it is still quite fast it reaches the next intersection howling in triumph thinking it is about to get away when two figures rush to the middle, it is Bannock and what appears to be a monk of the Divinity! Reinforcements have arrived.
Derrick slashes out at the creature before him with one shortsword and follows up with an elbow strike from the opposite arm. "Dunstan! What's going on?"
Dustan continues to carry the fight to the foe!
Devils take you!

Welcome t'the party, mates!
Khalid releases another blast of cold energy at the creature.
