After putting more distance between himself and danger, Cyrus casts a shadowy spell at the 2nd boar, damaging it, as well as hopefully interfering with its next attack.

Accurate despite the dim light, Cyrus's grasping shadows terrify the boar , throwing it into a frenzy. In its enraged thrashing, it manages to gore Scathach once more. Crit, -13hp to Scathach
The witch shifts to block Bren's escape, and hits him on the chest once more. -9hp
Elias:
Catriana tries to confuse the boar's mind and make him stumble so Bren could escape, but her magical attack is too weak.
Blunder(Will) vs. B1; Damage (1d20+7=13, 1d6+5=11)
Catriana encourages Bren to keep fighting, despite the dire situation he is in.
Elias dashes in with a stab to the vitals!
Catriana calls Elias, causing him to step back from the fight and reasess his position.
Eglantine stays in her tree and throws a dagger. Tree branches flick across her face and she misses. She hisses with frustration, as the dagger returns to her hand.
Catriana conjures another bolt of energy, this time from Yomi's direction, which flies towards the boar flanking Bren hitting it
Elias and his cat dance the dance of death.
Sly Flourish v B1 (1d20 10=13, 1d4 6=7)
Eglantine sighs with frustration as she tries, and fails miserably, to hit the boar. Looking around, she contemplates leaving her tree, but remembers her injuries and thinks better of it.
"Go on everyone - you can do it!" she calls, hoping that morale boosting may be more effective than her own attacks.
Cyrus comes back into site of the boar attacking Elias, casting more shadow magic in the hopes of finally taking the beast down.
The witch screams as Bren finally lands a solid blow (bloodied). Both boars, weakened by many wounds, miss their targets.
"Surrender! And I'll spare you ... "
Bren ponders what he is about to call her. 'Witch' doesn't have that bite to it when that's just what she is.
"Madam?"
Catriana's voice inspires Elias to move himself to a better position.

Yomi's lance of faith once again arcs out at the boar beleaguring Bren, this time smiting it squarely between the eyes (crit!). The boar lashes out in its death throes, goring Bren once more -9hp to Bren before it collapses.
Even at the same time, Cyrus's illusions cause the second boar to flail about, worsening its own wounds, until it collapses, after one final miss at Scathach.
The witch, seeing this, screeches back at Bren, "The Black Fey, surrender to mortals? You will all pay for this insult! Balenna swears it!"
At that, the witch vanishes, only to reappear, insubstantial, about 15' away. The hampering shadows disappear as well. Balenna then runs through the forest.
Catriana starts moving after the fey witch, climbing down her tree.

Catriana starts moving after the fey witch, climbing down her tree.
Catriana:
Seeing the witch is on the run, Scathach and Elias are on the hunt.
The great cat pounces!
Catriana tries to jump down her tree but misplaces her step and falls too early, taking a nasty cut on her shoulder.
"Come Catriana. Time to ask questions."
Eglantine slips elegantly out of her tree, brushes herself off and heads towards the captive fey. "Thank you Scathach," she says, bowing politely to the great cat.
"Rrrr..."
"Of course," Catriana smiles and follows Eglantine towards the subdued fey witch while commenting "I wonder if she'll keep threatening us now".
Catriana ties the witch's hands, then sprinkles some water over her face to wake her.
