Player B wrote:
If Player A flees the combat
Bertrand runs after Aloward, deciding that this enemy is too much for them to handle

In any other case
Bertrand steps up to the Aspis agent and attacks him with his greatsword[/b]
In other words: in the same initiative bracket your actions get resolved in posting order, not initiative order.
