Narciso makes the blonde guy curse even more, by drawing first blood. Tisha manages to repay the half orc with interest. That leaves the orc looking not so well and every human would drop dying at that point.
Briggi smacks another kid
Briggi gets the knack of whacking those pesky human kids. He knocks another one out. Ernhild needs some more practice on the orc though.
Tish gets stabbed by the gnome. The blonde man throws another vial at Briggi, but fails to hit . The half-orc returns the favor and misses Ernhild. And Narciso finds that he is not quite as good at ignoring the kids attempts of stabbing.
Narciso appeals to Briggi "Get Stabby McStabstabs here off of me please!"...
Tisha drops to the floor.
Grinning wide as Tish falls down, the half orc falls to the ground himself.
Briggi saps the kid trying to cut their sorcerer.
"Damnit" curses Narciso as Briggi fails to deal with Stabby McStabstabs... Holding his crossbow in his left hand, he punches out at the kid with the cestus covering his right hand...
Briggi misses the dodgy kid and Narciso too.
The gnome is no fan of Ernhild bringing Tish back up and stabs her again. The blonde guy changes to waving the stick again.
Tish lays on the ground bleeding
Briggi saps the kid to the north
"Damn it!!" yelps Narciso as the lamb's knife hit him but doesn't draw blood, the weak blow failing to penetrate his haramaki. Then Briggi makes some space for him, which he doesn't waste, snapping another shot at the blonde man and quickly reloading...
+2 dex
The kids close up on Narciso, who is so stressed out that he can't hit anything with his crossbow even though his life depends on it. Briggi keeps knocking out kids as if this were his main profession. What's the reputation of the city guard again?
The blonde keeps waving the acid stick and the gnome tries his luck with Ernhild.
The gnome jerks back and Ernhilds swing slides off the armor without wounding the guy.

Briggi moves up to the door and beats on the gnome
Realising he's been abandoned to the mercies of the lambs (of which there are none), Narciso calls on the magic in his blood to save him...

No matter what small creature, beating them up is Briggi's speciality. But the gnome doesn't go down with one good hit. Narciso takes the remaining kids down with an explosion of colors.
Not willing to take a beating, the gnome withdraws from combat. Seeing that he is left alone, the blonde man also retreats to where he came from.
Bringing checks on the kids that he hit to subdue with his sap. Since the sap doesn't do lethal damage.

Ernhild checks Tish's vitals, and is reassured to see that she has already stopped bleeding and her pulse is regular. She moves on to the kid that was shot with a crossbow bolt, afraid it's already going to be too late.
"We have to move to a more secluded space if you want me to heal you all. I don't have that many spells left."
Colgrim sighs. Maybe the half orc has something useful on him. He then searches the orc.

"Outside will do, if we close the door behind us. But hustle either the damn gnome or Yargin could be getting more help..."
Narciso grabs Tisha and lugs her outside. As he does, he continues "Briggi, come with me."

Yep, they were definitely alive.
Ernhild makes sure the kid has no weapons on him before she grabs him and drags him outside with the rest of the wounded. She waits patiently for Briggi to be done with searching the half-orc, and when all the party is reunited, she calls on Abadar's power. Many wounds close.
She gives the kid a severe look when he gets up. "Scram."
The kids looks around and as none of the gang are anywhere in sight starts running and doesn't stop before it's out of sight.
Tisha opens her eyes looks up at the group standing over her.
Wait, what happened? Did we win? Yay us….
She stands up slowly but seems a little surprised when her ribs are no longer broken.
The half orc had healing potions. Drink up if you have to.
Trish looks at Briggi.
I’ll take one, but then we should go and find the runners them before they get reinforcements!
Or maybe they just hauled it when they realized they were going to get hammered after we were done with the kids. Lamm isn't one to inspire loyalty.
"Better safe than sorry, let's get a move on... Let's try that double door down there; any ambush might be laid assuming that we come back in the same way."
Right. I'll lead the way.
The doors are locked, but luckily you brought a locksmith . The stink in this room, a mixture of fish and sweat, is enough to make the eyes water. To the east, a large wooden trough holds a hideous mound of half-rancid fish, seaweed, and brine. Filthy river water and fish blood stain the floor around this trough. A pair of wooden chutes lead from this trough through holes in the eastern wall into a larger room beyond. To the west, a desk and chair sit in one corner while a tall cabinet sits in the other. You see the open door through which the half-orc came down the stairs to the left. Neither the gnome, nor the blonde are here.
Narciso hisses at Ernhild "Search later Erhhild, get Yargin before he gets help, if we can!", as he hustles over to the door on the far side of the room.
Briggi takes point
A single desk sits in the middle of this room, with a moldy chair pushed up against it. A small pile of ratty furs and straw is heaped under the desk.
A pair of bunk beds sit against the far wall of this room on either side of a boarded-over window.
A wooden desk sits in one corner of this room, its side preventing the western door from opening all the way. The table is heaped with dozens of slate boards covered with chalk scrawls, while to the east a cabinet slouches against the wall.
Suspiciously neither the gnome, nor the human are found in any of the rooms. There is also nothing of value found, neither in the cabinet, nor elsewhere.

"Damnit, where is he?" asks Narciso, as his eyes dart about searching for Yargin...
