To Ohrmizd's surprise the same window - with no glass or frame, just a hole in the wall with a curtain - that Manuun used last time to get a peek in is still there.

Your description only said there was a curtain not where the curtain was Foxy, so I assumed probably badly that it was at the door. I was filling the image of the place as a closed dark hut stuffed with all kind of trinkets and reagents. That there were windowless windows was a relevant strategical information that would have been nice to have either in the description or map, but oh well, let's roll with it! :)
Darting with what he has at hands Ohrmizd surrounds the building and tries to set himself in a position the curtain entangled harpy cannot retreat without retaliation "You won't escape that easily!"

see red arrow in the map on how Ohrmizd avoids AoO
Fair enough. I see you still haven't learned to read my thoughts properly, from the lacking descriptions. ;)
Almost alll dash after Undrella with mixed results. Omari's shot goes wide. Heshan shoots his colorful magic to no avail. Ohrmizd places himself strategically to prevent fleeing.
Undrella withdraws from this unbalanced fight and takes to the air. This is what Manuun waited for and he successfully shoots the harpy. Undrella rises just enough to be out of reach of melee attacks. Turning around the back of her house she crosses the river and swoops under arch of the watch gatehouse.

As the harpy takes flight, Orhmizd attempts to give her a goodbye souvenir with his scimitar.
AoO: Scimitar:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Slashing damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
When she succeeds to flee away, the man sheathes his scimitar and follows around the corner of the house while drawing one of the gnoll spears "She is leaving. Shall we try to chase her?"
@ Foxy 1)Is she low enough that I can't just shoot over the house? Roryx has a longspear, so she needs altitude if she wants to avoid his melee. 2) If I move to the green dot, can I get enough Line of Sight to shoot? (top right hand corner of my square, to top right hand corner of hers) .

Ohrmizd AoO stroke, isn't it?
"Let's try to go over the bridge to the watchtower and finish this before all the place is under alarm!" Ohrmizd darts already running to try finish this once and for all "Archers, do not hesitate to shoot her if you see the minimal opportunity"
That said, Ohrmizd will make a stop to heal and look back if the others are following. In case of doubt he remains with the party always.

Not sure that I like pursuing it all the way. I'm worried about whatever is in B3/4/5 coming out and jumping our back. However, that path will take 6 rounds (I count 25 squares at 15 ft/square ) . If we're lucky, they will come pouring out of the tower to get us. We could put our backs to the bridge so we have a retreat route, as well as protecting our flanks, and shoot them up as they close...
Manuun continues to rush forward and lets an arrow fly at the nearest Hyena.
Short Bow:1d20 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 5(+2 Luck, -2 distance) Dam:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
In his rush to get it out he fumbles and the arrow falls harmlessly to the ground.
In the meantime he tries to remember what his uncle told him about Hyenas.
Your uncle told you "Don't play with hyenas! They look nice from afar with their fluffy fur and their laugh, but it's a cynical laugh and they'll eat you. And then laugh again." Mechanically they die when you beat them hard enough with a stick. And shit are they fast in Pathfinder. Forget running away.

Ohrmizd continues running towards the harpy, until they face the wall of enemies. The Keleshite slows down his advancement to ask for protections, taking the piece of parchment with the monastery copy of the holy text, he casts shield of faith "Sarenrae protect us!" and activates his healing judgement.

Manuun shoots an arrow in the sand. Heshan stuns the two hyenas. Roryx almost ends a hyena with his spear. And with the hyena's no longer moving, even Omari gets at least one arrow in.
Undrella steps out of sight, and the other hyenas follow their kin into the fray. And their teeth sink painfully into the flesh of Heshan and Roryx /you get an AoO).
Ohrmizd beats the hyena, but it still stands. Manuun angers the gnoll with an arrow to the leg.
The hyenas stand still, but the gnoll moves behind the statue of Sarenrae. You can't see what he is doing, but you can hear it, as suddenly the trumpet is blown and echoes through the whole valley.
Omari takes another step to clear his line of sight, and fires another pair of shots.
Timing his words to the effort of pulling the bow, Omari speaks :"Yeah, that's the whole valley alerted. <snap goes the bowstring> Are we still going to try to rush the tower, or are we going to retreat?" <the bowstring snaps again>
5' step
full attack using Rapid Shot feat. The initial shot is at whichever hyena that Ohrmzid has been beating on. If it drops, I switch targets, if not, it gets the second one as well.
To hit:1d20 + 1 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 21
+1 bab +3 dex +1 pbs -2 rapid shot, no penalty from 1 person cover (Ohrmzid)

damage:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
The hyena snaps at Heshan again as he works his magic, but misses. The colorspray engulfs the hyenas, but to no effect. The hyenas keep attacking. One hyena drops after the attack. Undrella takes to the air and leaves in North-West direction.
A quick directions confirm "Undrella takes to the air and leaves in North-West direction", so she is flying away from town, not to the central building (B11).

"That harpy, someone has to stop her!" the Keleshite looks bewildered as the harpy flees away once more "I do not think we will be able to rush the tower now Omari. This is going to be a swarm in a few minutes, we better finish this off quickly"
Ohrmizd steps to better protect Manuun and cuts with all his strength at the hyena in front "Out of my way!"
Scimitar:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Slashing damage:1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Omari moves forward at a walk, drawing his longbow as he does. Pausing, he aims, and releases at the visible target.
Is the gnoll still under cover behind the statue of Saerenrae? If he is, I am shooting at Undrella, who is apparently visible. If he's out of cover, I am shooting the gnoll...
To hit:1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16

After shooting, he replies to Ohrmzid : "Unless we are ungodly lucky, the harpy is getting away - she's on the wing, and I'm the only one with a decent bow... Which way do you want to retreat? Over the bridge or along the river (past B1) or make it a thunder run through the town? (ie to B12 or past B8 - B12 would probably be the choice - to much chance of running into a horde of gnolls from B8/10/11 the other way) "
Current AC: 24 <> HP: 62/62 (Swiper: 31/31) <> Effects:
"Strong beasts - they deserved better" - Roryx pauses for a moment, wondering if he would be able to do anything about the dying hyenas, but then just shakes his head.
"You are right Omari, we will never catch her" - the half-orc ponders - "Perhaps we can double back, and confound them - press from the other side"
B8? They are probably heading to B9.
Also, me and Heshan could use some healing, if anyone has it :P
From the battle market four more gnolls emerge and you see the goat thing coming down the road that leads up from your point through the watchgate to the temple [ooc)(B12)[/ooc].
