Huntress bites at the sorceress as she retreats, attempting to sink her razor-like fangs into the figure.
The cat then whines at the arrow sticking out of her side, deftly dodges the second arrow that flies her way. She sees the sorceress raise her hand and instinctively tries to move out of the way by leaping to the side, but the fire still catches her hind-side, and the tiger uses the rest of her energy to put the fire out before collapsing in the dirt unconscious.
Fortunately, Huntress does not seem to be bleeding too badly out of her arrow wound.

"Huntress! No!
Ye'll pay fer that!"
Aulurius moves through Bahram's square to get around the sorceress' other side and provide tactical positioning before slashing out with his scimitar.
Furious at seeing his companion fall, the Dwarf ignores the arrow sticking out of his arm, but at the cost of swinging wide and missing his target.

As the sorcerer moves away, she is badly injured by Tanbu and Huntress and is then finished with a quick stab by Tanbu. With the Holy Adenhile defeating, the remaining standing thugs are quick to choose retreat.
Luckily, thanks to the obscurity of the location, it becomes unlikely that back up would arrive in time, but you do not stick around to find out.
Quickly, you follow the path leading back to the Abacus, whom is docked and eagerly waiting for your arrival. The ship immediately steers clear of the site, and back in the direction it came from at a full speed! Everyone is thankful emissaries are brought back alive. The journey returning is relatively uneventful as the Dwarves continue to rest and recover, but they is no an obvious hostility between Metella and Temel.

Aulurius would pick up Huntress and carry her until the group felt safe enough that he might attempt to treat Huntress' wounds to get her back on her feet, asking aid if need be. If unsuccessful, he would continue to carry his companion.
On the boat, Aulurius would make a point to let the two rivals know that there was no issue until the jailbreak itself, which was bound to have issues, so Metella's idea of dressing as religious folk was a good one. "Let's hope none of us have to mess with any Razmirin again for some time. I don't think we'll be too popular in the area."

With Tanbu's permission, Sulana would use the Wand of CLW on Huntress to get her back on her feet.
Back at the boat Sulana remains tense and on her guard until they're out of Razmiri waters. She doesn't fully relax until they've escorted the emissaries to their destination. That was close. Too close. I'll have to look into buying my own wand; Tanbu's was the only thing that kept us alive.
As the group prepares to go their separate ways, Sulana thanks all of them. "It was a bit more exciting than I expected my first mission to be, but we succeeded. It would be an honor to work with any of you again."

Bahram keeps an eye out behind the group on the way back, not that he would shoot anything with his perception. Once on the boat, his demeanor changes dramatically. He seems overjoyed at their success and enquires what the dwarves next move will be.
"Alurius, Sulana, Tanbu it was a pleasure working with you. If any of you ever have need of my skills, please ask. This is not at all what I was expecting, but I enjoyed it none the less. I will have to better prepare myself next time."
