Keens casts a spell that blinds , and knocks out most of the mob,in a flash of color. one in the area stays standing However. Reg runs across the greasy floor and grabbing Bean by the hair drags the bleeding cleric out of the building taking a hit by one of the people still standing in doing so
Euphegenia Makes her stand and takes one of the Guards down with a mighty blow to his neck. And slices another badly as he drawls his sword. Her stand is her last however as the man runs her though with his sword, and arrow seems to blossom from her chest and a 2nd swordsman opens her throat with a wicked slash. The other men seem to reload there crossbows as the Dwarf tumbles less to the ground.
Euphegenia stubbornly refuses to believe she is dead, pirouetting to face the fleeing group, she tries to speak, but only air and blood bubble from her throat wound, her legs refuse to obey the command to run. She looks down with sadness at the crossbow bolts protruding from her abdomen before she keels slowly over. The view of shuffling feet and dust balls under the counter slowly fades into darkness and the pain in her flooding lungs subsides into a peaceful bliss as death over takes her.
Euphegenia's corpse lies in a pool of her own cooling blood, her eyes still wide open and her hand clutching her holy symbol to her blood soaked chest.
Seeing Euphegenia go down Keen stops for a moment and gasps...
Then he pauses for a moment and memorizes all the faces in the room for later. We'll be back, he thinks to himself, and there will be hell to pay
Looking at Reg he says "Can you use a healing scroll? I can but it's hit or miss and we don't have much time for a miss right now."
If reg can use the scroll Keen will use grease once again, catching as many of the guards as he can in the effect. Otherwise he will try to use the scroll himself. Either way when he finishes his action he's going to try and get Bean and Reg moving down the street after his action.

Looking at Reg he says "Can you use a healing scroll? I can but it's hit or miss and we don't have much time for a miss right now."
"I'll try anything at this point, didn't Bean say something about carrying a wand of healing or something like that?" Reg gasps as he desperately tries to keep on his feet and focused as he feels himself literally on the edge of falling apart only the fact he knows if he falls now neither he nor Bean may survive is why he's still standing at this point.
Reg shifts Bean's weight so he can carry him easier on his shoulder as he tries to use this scroll Keen's talking about.
Keens calls forth the grease once more under the feet of the ex gaurds. One of the men slips and falls as it appears under them. Reg struggles with the scroll, but all of a sudden as if something guided him the words make sense, and while hard he coxes the magic from the scroll and Beans bleeding stops
As the mean make there way toward the door another falls but they are slowed by the grease. Reg quickly picks up bean. The man with the bow fires at keen wounding him badly with an arrow
The lone commoner left awake and untangled outside runs away

Your map folks 3 are still chasing you
Reg continues to run off carrying Bean.
"C'mon Keen we need to get out of here before we get mullered!" Reg gasps to Keen.
"We run!" Reg tells Keen as he tries to move as fast as he can carrying Bean out of the area until he can find a place to set Bean down search for Bean's wand and use it to heal them starting with a charge used on Bean then himself and then Keen before using it again on Bean hopefully ...
"Run Reg!"
Keen pauses for a moment and casts his last grease spell in the doorway hoping to get lucky and catch all three of the pursuers and then follows Reg.
Reg ran with all his might , as Keen greased the doorway. Two of them mean went down with a crash, including the longbow men. The last upright guard stubble's over the sleeping people at the door and fires his crossbow only to miss the fleeing group.
The next few minutes are long ones as you run down dark alleyways switching from street to street in hopes of loosing any one behind you. After a while you think you are clear, you do however drawl odd looks from passerby's
Keen rifles through Beans stuff until he finds his wand of healing and pulls it out.
"I think I saw him use this thing like this. Blarkle!"
"No, that's not it, it was", Keen waves the wand slightly differently and tries to envision Bean's god. "Blaarkle!"
"Hmm... no, not that either.", a look of extreme focus comes on Keen's face and he concentrates all his thoughts on Bean's god. "BLARKLE!"
"Damn it, I swear he just flicked it like this and said 'blarkle' and that did it"
Use Magic Device, Wand (1d20+7=18, 1d20+7=12, 1d20+7=13, 1d20+7=25, 1d20+7=13)
"Hah, I've got it! Blarkle!" The wand makes a fizzing sound and nothing.
"c'mon, I had it." Keen emulates what he just did. "Blarkle"
UMD (1d20+7=23, 1d20+7=17, 1d20+7=21, 1d20+7=22, 1d20+7=21)
Cure Light (1d8+1=7, 1d8+1=9, 1d8+1=2, 1d8+1=3)
Keen uses the wand 4 more times successfully, once on Bean, himself, then Reg, then Bean again.
Beans eyes flutter open as he wakes up a second time in the day, "Ouch. These clothes are going to be ruined! Damnation! Oh, thanks Keen, Reg... where's Euphegian? is she following behind us?"

Reg still catching his breath takes a moment to look at Keen before looking back at Bean.
"She... she didn't make it..." Reg looks away as he wipes his face hiding the fact he had been crying.
Keen hands Bean his wand back, his face impassive, some strong emotions clearly held in check. He looks away.
"I'm going back there tonight. I don't know if you plan on joining me but I'm going."

"I'm going back there tonight. I don't know if you plan on joining me but I'm going."
"I was thinking of picking up a shield and an axe in case a few doors need to be cut down," Reg nods in agreement with Keen.
"But I'm going to need more healing to be any help mind you," Reg adds ruefully.
"Indeed we must return to night, we have to recover Eugphenia's body quickly. Reg come with me, I know a place to buy them at... I want a few... things myself. Keen can you find Elric? I think his help would be a boon tonight." Bean suggests, "What happened back there was unacceptable there was no reason for those ex guards to behave like that, and I intend to ensure that the blessing of Sune never visits them again."
With those ominous words Bean leads the way to his friends merchant house.
"I'll see if I can track down Elrick. Then we should rest for a bit so I can restore my magical energies. We can wake up a few hours after midnight and then I will be ready."
DM:
The groups little attack on All world's meat got the ex-guards a bit worried after all they had just killed someone tied to the city guard. The cow hammer boy's needed a little extra leverage just to keep the heat off them and they found it very soon lurking outside, Like a gift from the gods, In a way she was.
Celena Ashram, Had the dreams again.She roamed the streets of Korsava it was dark, and she felt wrong the streets cried for justice for revenge, for the scales to be balanced. And she saw a building reeking of malice and wrongness as thunder echoed over head she awoke.
Sh had spent the last five long hot days looking for the place, the stain that den of foulness that cried out.And now she looked upon it. An old meat shop, a butchery she could see signs of a recent battle, blood was on the ground soaking into the earth. The door frame showing signs of blade work. She was taking all of it in, just lost in her vision given form that she didn't see the cow hammer boys, but she felt the blow land hard upon her skull.
She awoke some time later, groggy hanging by a meat hook more then her body length from the floor. Her weapons out of sight, it was dark within the room and cool, the smell of meat and blood all around. The small amount of light coming though the door allowed her to see far more then a human would have. She hung by her wrists in a meat locker of some sort filled with slabs of meat, all alone in the dark.
EDIT: Also we have an issue. Bean , as a cleric of Sune prays for his spells of a morning, after a nice bath or at lest after washing his hands. Same with his channel. So wait another day or go with what he still has?
Celena hung in the dark for a minute or two trying to make full sense of her surroundings. Well she had wanted to find the place and she had if not in the way she had expected but she had no on else to blame but herself for being so careless as the throbbing in the back of her head was telling her. The second ache came from her arms from having to carry her own body weight Glancing up she tries to see how her hands are being restrained to the hook as well as trying to get a better look at her current surroundings.

"I don't care if Bean doesn't have all his powers, he can use his arms. We need to move, we need to make them pay for Euphegenia's death. The longer we wait the more chances they will get away."
Keen is anxious to move in.

Celena
Well no use hanging around here all night Celena thinks to herself as she finishes taking stock of the situation. If she has enough room She begins to swing her body weigh back and forth either to try and get the hook she is hanging from to cut the bonds or to pull them over the end of the hook.
Escape artist check
20 -5 = 15
Reg practices with his new weapon and shield getting the feel of both knowing full well it might spell the difference between life and death for the party.
The night is dark Selune Waxs in the night sky, her tears but dim pricks of light in the nights sky as you make your way back toward All world's meat. The city is quiet, nothing out this time but thieves , rats and murders.
You creep close toward the building getting as good a view of it as you can with little light and no treat lamps.From circling the place you can see the one door, from this mornings failed meeting and two more on the side, one looking to be some kind of docking door for large shipment and the other behind a fence where animals are kept for slaughter which now looks empty. Lights come from the upper building but no where else you can see.
Celena
You hit the ground hard, knocking the breath from you. The room has a few hanks of meet from some kind of animal hanging and light spills into the room from the far ends double doors it seems someone is at the burchrys bloody work right now from the sounds you hear every now and then
Ow Is all that first comes to Celena's mind as she first hits the floor the second is if any of the locale's heard her landing straining with her ears she tries to listen for anyone approaching. Whilst at the same time checking her bonds to see if being pulled from the hook had loosened them.
Perception
Keen is going to listen at the dock door.
"I don't think we have any choice other than picking a door and smashing it in. I kind of like this one."
If the dock door looks too tough maybe try another... no rogue so we're gonna have to smash one in.
"Might want to look at picking up something that can open doors like these the next chance you get," Reg whispers noting the look on Keen's face.
