Expos will stand if he is crawling.

He will aim for Grunt 3 and use his light crossbow this time:

attack: 12 dmg 2

Expos' arrow thuds against the grunt, but the mechanical structures added their physique prevent it from dealing damage.

Aronan and Boigo still up.

Seeing that one fighter is wounded. He ba moves the hex to the fighters strength (ability checks at dis) 
15 to hit (thanks for the bless) and 15 damage from eldritch blast and hex. 

Aronan's powerful blast fells the fighter to the ground.

By the bulk of the group, the biodrones begin to react. 

Fighter 2 trudges through the roughed up ground, glaive in hands, to strike at Boigo with its reach.

Glaive @ Boigo
Attack: 12 Damage: 12

Following up is an attack from Grunt 4 as it slams its fist against the halfling's armor.

Slam @ Boigo
Attack: 8 Damage: 6

Grunts 3 and 8 break off to harrass Expos and Aronan.

Slam @ Expos
Attack: 13 Damage: 5

Slam @ Aronan
Attack: 13 Damage: 8

While this happens, another four of the grunts begin repositioning the Southern ballista, readying to turn it against the party.

By Hama and the town forces, the crossbow-arms continue to press against his force, loosing bolts at the guard and scouts.

The apprentice wizard, not in range of the ballistas, lets out an arcane burst at CA1.

As the dolorous bell toll, Grunt 3 falls to the ground as the necrotic spell takes hold.

 Yep! Figured it's easier to just roll for both then to ask you, "is this one damaged?" over and over again :)

Hamma watching thise around him falling faster then thise they shoot at, starting ti get a little concerned. They hadn't pulled as much attention away from the others attacking yet bit off more then enough. He rears back again, come on old man, it hasn't been that long. 

Eldritch Blast at CA1: 14 to hit for 1 damage. Bah

Pointing his hand towards CA1 he consontrate and releases another ball of energy, a bit better aim then before but almost fizzles out as it's reaching his target. Come on old man, people are out here dying for your incompetence.

Aronan misses when he tries to hit the enemy near him 

Callow decides that now is high time to actually emerge onto the surface to assist his comrades, so he burrows upwards onto the tilled soil and is met by the biodrone fighter standing ahead of him. He thrashes towards it and bites down with his badger teeth, and whilst his jaw is around its shoulder, he rakes forward and burrows into its stomach with his strong pair of claws.

Callow: Action: Multiattack: 19 to hit with his Bite, 2 piercing damage on a hit, 20 to hit with his Claws, 4 slashing damage on a hit.

[[ quick post; will update battlemap later ]]

Hamma's blast hits the crossbow-arm, though it still stands.

While Aronan's sword misses, Callow's claws and jaws rend the biodrone fighter, weakening it further though it still stands.

(Oh oops misread the last post) 

Boigo will use his Halfling Nimbleness to squeeze between G1 and G2 and attack G2

Attack: 18 Damage: 6

Boigo is able to sneak between the grunts and a well-placed strike from his rapier fells G2.

As he leaves the reach of Grunt 4, the biodrone strikes out.

Slam @ Boigo
Attack: 10 Damage: 6 bludgeoning

Grunt 4 sizes up Callow, attacking the giant bager.

Slam @ Callow
Attack: 9 Damage: 5 bludgeoning

Meanwhile F2 and G1 move to defend the ballista from the paladin halfling.

Glaive @ Boigo
Attack: 18 Damage: 6 piercing

Slam @ Boigo
Attack: 12 Damage: 3 bludgeoning

As they defend the ballista Grunt 5 loads a ballista bolt into the siege weapon as Grunt 6 begins to ready it for firing.

Grunt 8 repositions itself to be in Expos' face in addition to Aronan's. It then slams with ferocity.

Slam @ Target 2 //1,2 Expos 3,4 Aronan

I let the dice speak and apparently the dice said, "We hate Callow." :O

Also, Callow would have 1/2 cover (+2 AC) from the angle they're firing, though I don't think they were within that margin of error

I believe Aronan misses with 13 to hit and 11 damage.  But if he hits he’s using sword to attack grunt 8 who is near him
