Eklektos stays where he is, seeking assistance from Gozreh to guide his next thrust against this unnatural foe. Theron shifts to try and get a better angle on the Tiefling, lunging with his teeth to try and grind the nearer arm to a pulp.
Eklektos stabs at the big Tiefling, then moves back to give Derek a better angle to attack the thing.
Theron doesn't like what he sees and steps back. As he comes within range of the Tiefling, he'll see what help he can offer in taking it down.
Eklektos steps into the space vacated by Derek and gives a stab at the large Tiefling.
Theron squeezes past Appario and darts for the crossbow-wielding Tieflings, snapping at the nearer one.
Theron will step around behind Appario, then give a mighty bellow to try and distract the Tiefling and make him wonder what else is down here.
Theron batters the offending skeleton with his teeth, trying to knock its bones apart.
Eklektos lobs another handful of fire at the remaining skeleton, seeing if the same trick works again.
Theron hangs back to protect his foolish friend, not sure if he wants to get in the middle of the dancing men.
Eklektos lobs a handful of fire at the nearer wolf skeleton, trying to avoid scorching Theron's fur. Another handful of fire springs into being in Eklektos's hand after the first leaves it.
Theron continues to grapple the big skeleton, pinning it to the ground with his greater mass.
Eklektos moves into the vacant space near the others, casting a flame spell as he gets there in preparation to trying to burn the skeletons.
Theron springs forward, latching onto the skeleton with teeth and claws.
Theron moves back toward Semenya and Derek growling, frustrated at their lack of consistency regarding it being time to leave. Eklektos does his best to hustle back toward the group.
"Retreat it is. I should be there soon, and I should be able to find the door again. Where'd Theron get to?"
Eklektos whispers into the message, "There appears to be a hidden door back this way. At least three people, one possibly the leader, one definitely injured. They're concerned about their chances. Do we let them regroup?"
Eklektos cautiously moves past the spear to get a view of the corridor beyond, keeping a watch as he reaches down to pick up the spear.
Theron, realizing he is too hurt to deal with the skeletons, chooses to retreat, keeping a wary eye on the skeletons before turning to run.
"You go ahead. I'll catch you up. A spear's better than thing." Eklektos drops the mace and moves to retrieve his dropped spear.
Theron roars at the Tiefling, attempting to spook him before he can get a shot off.
Eklektos will continue to try and smash the blasted skeleton with the unfamiliar weapon.
Theron continues to take advantage of the Tiefling's distraction to continue investigating the room, this time moving to the other set of beds and dragging into the open anything he finds. Eklektos brings the mace down at the skeleton, frantically trying to end its attacks on Appario.
Theron begins to sniff his way around the room, moving to investigate the southern group of beds.
Eklektos now takes another swing at the skeleton, feeling he might be getting a better feel for this heavy chunk of metal, but drawing his dagger with the other hand.
Theron follows Semenya down the corridor, matching her step for stealthy step, stopping just behind her to wait for things to happen. Eklektos quaffs his potion, then steps back in to be ready to attack the skeleton.
Theron follows Semenya to hold the other corridor since the press of bodies keeps him from getting at the skeleton. Eklektos swings at the skeleton with the mace, clumsy with the unfamiliar weight of the weapon, then steps backward and reaches for another potion bottle.
Theron snaps at the retreating form, making sure he continues his retreat.
Theron then returns up the corridor to his previous guard position, ready to pounce if more foes show up. Eklektos pulls out another potion and feeds it to the big cat.
As the Tiefling tries to get past, Theron takes another snap at his leg.
Theron then follows the Tiefling down the corridor and gives a chomp at one of his retreating legs to speed him on his way.
Eklektos moves toward the space Theron formerly occupied and passes one of the two remaining maces to Appario.
Theron will move closer to the Tiefling and attempt to tear pieces from him for future use in Tiefling-based sandwiches.
Eklektos pops back in from the tailors shop with a set of maces, and passes them to anybody he can reach.
"I'll gather the maces. I seem to be a tad out of my element here." Eklektos shuffles up next to Semenya and Derek, dropping the load of shortswords, then runs up into the building to find the maces. Theron maintains his vigil, ready to move on anything hostile.
"Please be ready. We're coming your way," Eklektos puts into the Message as he also runs back down the corridor, spear forgotten.
Theron shifts back away from the small tunnel where people are coming from and turns to guard what is now the rear flank.
Theron maintains his ready posture, ready to attack and warn the others if hostiles come at him. Eklektos steps forward and gathers usable items from the two downed Tieflings.
Theron maintains a position to cover their escape route, while Eklektos moves down to help the others and to retrieve his spear.
Theron waits until Eklektos is done gathering supplies from the downed Tieflings before they both retreat toward their original entrance. Into the Message , "Might be a good time to regroup."
Eklektos and Theron begin to retreat slowly toward their companions now that the way is clear behind them. Eklektos stops to gather any supplies from the dropped Tiefling while Theron keeps a watchful eye on the corridor.
Eklektos follows the cat down the hallway, still shining with the light of day. His dagger is ready to fling at the nearest opponent.
As the Tiefling draws his shortsword, Theron jumps at the arm drawing and tries to tear it off.
Theron attempts to savage the Tiefling before it can deal any more damage to his companions.
Hearing more fighting going on, Theron moves out to assist despite his injuries. Spying Derek going up alone against the two Tieflings, he moves in to assist, attacking one of them.
Eklektos chugs the potion in his hand, then chases after the cat with his dagger ready.

Eklektos takes the potion and gratefully pours it down the cat's throat, then pulls another out of his bag. Into the Message, "If you could, Appario, grab my spear when you come back. I don't fancy trying to learn my way around a sword in combat."
Theron, now awake, stands and moves back toward the door they came in. Stats:

Eklektos grabs his last healing scroll and reads it over Theron in an attempt to cure his friend.
Eklektos continues to drag Theron, double-moving as far as they can make it.
Dropping the spear, Eklektos grabs the big cat around the rib cage and then drags him down the hallway as far as he can. Eklektos Stats: AC 13 or 12 (Drag wording isn't quite clear, Core p.169)

As Eklektos reaches Theron, he ducks to one knee to stifle the bleeding in his friend, then rises to face his foes.
As the Tiefling tries to slip past Eklektos, he lashes out with his spear, striking wildly against the wall instead.

AC 15, touch 13, flat-footed 12

Eklektos retrieves one of the potion bottles from his bag, then moves to Theron's side to administer it.
"I should be able to do that. Once I get to him, we're pulling back."
Eklektos will likely be working on that as soon as he can get close enough to Theron to Cure him. I somehow don't think he has the strength to get Theron out of there by carrying him. Now that he can see what state Theron is in, he's going to freak a bit.
Theron swiftly snaps at the retreating form of the Tiefling.
Then Theron drops from the slash and begins bleeding all over the cave floor.
