She lifts her head up and groans, a nice imprint of Seraphs armor was now seemingly permanently imprinted in her face. The crossbow bolt between her shoulder blades stung like hell and she rose to her feet groggily.
She grabs the Baroness by her leg and quite roughly drags her unconcious form to a spot where there was some cover. "Gonna kill me a wee piggy once ya outta the way. Can't take another shot like dat one, look stupid enough already..." She grumbles as she drags Maria over the downed Kregger, making sure to step on his nose with an audible crack as it breaks. "Whoops, gotta watch where I'm going. Heh."
Tatiana replies to Red Topper.
Perception: <-- looking for water
Halcorg looks around for any water that can be thrown on the fire. Watering troughs, or anything else similar. Clearly not seeing anything useful, he moves over to (80.20) and begins to scale the tower.
Climb:
As he moves he roars:
Someone get WATER on fire!!
He then looks up.
Weapons down. You live. Weapons drawn. You die.
Now that Xi was off her chest Seraph picked herself up off the ground and moved to defend Tatiana. Despite her nasty wounds she was prepared to fight on.
Tatiana responds to Red Topper.
Intimidate: <-- sweet considering it is not his strength
As he continues to climb, Halcorg calls back:
Yes you majesty.

Topper sees the mean Shoanti climbing the tower, bent on killing him first with wide eyed horror.
"Wait! Wait! I can reform! I swear! I surrender!"
He stops his Inspire courage, and drops his dagger.
Seeing that the rest of the bandits drop their weapons. Except for Fat Norry (on the North west tower), Jex the Snitch (climbing over the palisade on the south), and Ayles Megesen (escaping via a tunnel under the south stairs)
Halcorg gets to the top of the tower and stands over Topper. He does not draw his earthbreaker, but does haul off and slug the bard twice.
Damage-unarmed-non-lethal:
For shooting a woman in back.
Damage-unarmed-non-lethal:
For threatening Queen.
Then, still standing over the man:
One move, next hit is with earthbreaker.
He then glares to the others, also looking toward the adjacent tower.
Leave weapons. Get water. Put out fire.
Maybe I got that wrong, didn't he shoot them while they were down?
With a grazed shoulder and thigh, Daliedhur's eyes narrow at Fat Norry - taking a single step inside, she unleashes a volley at him, growling at the man from afar, the first hint of the elf's savage nature to come through so far - "Die" - she mouths at him.
Not wanting to have to deal with the undead, Neji calls down an air strike on the zombie to her northwest. Maintaining his current height, Destroyerman quickly soars over and swings his falchion at his designated target. Meanwhile, Neji inches forty feet northeast, careful to stay on the path the entire way.
Karou goes after the fleeing bandit...
Mulray stows his bow and follows.
Azurefang attempts to get unstuck.
Tarina, having no idea that anyone has surrendered yet, continues towards her wolf.
Azurefang 23/66 Hp.
Seeing Tarina going up the stairs from her high vantage point, Tatiana calls to her in Celestial.

Four Swords: Don Khavortorov carries Vodyanoy Leventon to the safety of the fort, as Michael do the same with the last horse. On the south of the Fort Angelo and Ralph miss Jex the Snitch and continue running towards the platform where Akiros (the barbarian who switched sides but was killed(?) by the bandits) and the Stag Lord (killed(?) by Vodyanoy) are.
Mulray and Karou follow Ayles Megesen into a secret tunnel under the palisade, getting out on the other side.
Tatiana fies to the top of the old stone fort's wall (moved her to the top floor map) and tries to get a surrender for the bandits, but Topper Red is not convinced.
Halcorg seeing everybody inside let the portcullis down and starts to climb the northeast tower, intimidating Topper Red into surrendering, and causing almost all of the bandits of doing the same.
Daliedhur enters the fort just as the portcullis falls, and shot three arrows that kill the unrepentant Fat Norry.
Xi'Tir carries the unconscious Maria to cover (I moved you to 83'16' so you don't carry her towards the fire). Many of you marvel at the change for good in Xi'Tir, she doesn't normally cares for the welfare of others.
Seraph unsheathe her sword and stay below Tatiana.
Tarina tries to reach Azurefang, grievously wounded, which remains trapped at the tower entrance, but it's unable to advance as the fire rages in front of her.
When Neji starts to move towards the fort she sees two things that scare her. One, the portcullis closes. The second is that the two zombies around her starts to move in her general direction, almost if sniffing her. One of them moves to close her way and moves an arm towartds her just before Destroyerman appears and decapitates him. She is able to avoid the immobile standing corpse and continue her way. The other zombie follows her, without paying attention to Destroyerman, and causing an attack of opportunity from him. (Don't forget to roll).
Only Ayles Megesen and Jex the Snitch have not surrendered, as well as the bandits down the hill at the north (leaded by Dovan).
The zombies reach the fallen bandit on the path and start devouring him. Alive. The screaming inundates the hill. Seeing that, Destroyerman going away, and the quiet at the fort, the remaining bandits at the base of the hill decide discretion if the best part of courage, and withdraw. Dovan takes a last look towards the fort, and swears vengeance. He have a meeting with the queen for later.
The bandits in the fort drop their weapons, but seems unsure what to do next, as Azurefang is blocking the way (for both towers).
Mulray and Karou see Ayles Megesen and Jex the Snitch, preparing to run down the hill, crossing the unhallowed ground (they are going to make a run for it, zombies an all, they figure).
Azurefang continues to struggle to escape.
Tarina, unable to reach Azurefang, casts create water, not knowing what sort of effect it might have on the flames.
She calls out to the bandits within the fort.
Tatiana says while casting Create Water. After the instantaneous rain storm, she looks to see the situation along the path and zombie-land.
Destroyerman effortlessly beheads the other zombie.
"Hey, D-Man! Let's just fly over!" Neji mentally calls out to the Eidolon. "And stay on the path!"
After sheathing his weapon, Destroyerman nods, flies closer to his Summoner's location, and lands on the path with arms open and ready to grab the invisible gnome. Neji scurries over and climbs into his iron embrance. Provided he has enough time, Destroyerman once again takes to the air and flies toward the others.

Between Tarina and Tatiana quickly extinguish the fire before it gets bigger. Tatiana sees Destroyerman (which is a good sign) but doesn't see Neji anywhere, which is to be expected as Vodyanoy turn her invisible.
She sees Destroyerman beheads another zombie and then sheathes his sword and descend, as if to pick something up.
Neji gets ready to be pick up. (No time for anything else, 1 move to Sheathe the sword, and one to move).
Azurefang makes a last effort and extricates himself of the tower.
Seraph and Xi'Tir drink their CLW potions (do they move?).
Xi'tir, now inside the fort, sees a heavy door south west (87.11 and 88.11), something is calling and screaming from inside it.
Halcorg gets to the top off the tower and "share his caring" with Topper Red. He accepts the punishment quietly and without provoking anything else.
Daliedhur downs one of the healing potions she carries, and moves to the highest vantage point she can, to keep an eye on the inside area of the camp, as well on the outside, the undead, and Neji.
The fighting had died down and with it the accursed voice of that filthy mammal that trapped them as well. His screams had delighted her, especially after what they had done to her nest mate. She planned on feeding them their entrails before this was done...
She turned to her companion, who was still injured from the bandits night of toying with them. They had pelted him with arrows for hours and Ti'Itza took every shot for her. His massive height making him the perfect shield. She knelt near him as he sat quietly eyes closed. She spoke in draconic lest the mammals over heard, they weren't the most intelligent group thankfully. "Can you fight?"
Xi eyes the door for a moment before looking for the key to get it open.
Noticing Azurefang getting unstuck, and a fire no longer blocking her path, Tarina will go to the wolf's aid.
At the sound of her voice his eyes opened and he looked towards the door. He looked to her then shifting his body weight and barely able to not grimace from the arrows that were still imbedded in him. His "Of course. Shatter the door if they take too long."
He slowly rose to his full height, a staggering seven feet tall as he prepared to rush the door. He may not have any spells but he was far from powerless...
Seeing the fires go out and the battle seemingly at an end, Halcorg picks up Topper by his collar and then glares at the other bandits.
March down. You arrested in Queen name.
He then follows the bandits down to see how the others are doing.
Xi props Maria up in a corner, covering her with one of the dead men's cloaks to keep her warm before stalking over to the cell and eyed the Lizardmen distrustingly as she drinks down her healing potion.
"Dey have prisoners! Ugly ones at that..."
Tepti's eyes turned to slits as they were being watched by the dark skinned mammal outside their cells. It was easily to tell that this one distrusted them from the sound of its voice.
TI'Itza's eyes watched the blackskinned woman approach there cell door. Her voice irritated him but the feeling was mutual as he responded in a neutral. "And who are you? Another bandit?"
Xi scoffs at the idea of being a bandit before realizing her gruesome look. "Ha. Naw, dey just surrendered. So who are you?"
"Ti'Itza and Tephi the outcasts. Who are you? And will you release us, I dont wish to be shot at any longer."
All he needed this one to do was to open their cell door.
Xi smiled at the scaly folks request. "Xi'tir and if ya try anything stupid I'll kill ya. Got it?" She moved to the door with her greatblade over her shoulder and easily unlocked it for the pair of lizardfolk.
Tatiana calls to Halcorg and Topper Red.
"Fair enough..." Ti'Itza waits until the the door was open and slowly they both move out of the room and begin recovering their equipment.
Round 6
Mulray fires on Jex... "Hold it!"
