Diadochi shakes his head back to reality and says to himself "A Loxodon who lets a small thing like their own fraying sanity Prakan-Dek, is not a Loxodon." He picks up the war hammer and moves to flank the monster with Yaalin, brings the hammer down on it's back "I'm not done with you yet!"

((Not super clear on if I have advantagedue to flanking or not so going to post 2 possible attack rolls))
Yaalin, now obviously fighting something internally, Continues intoning in Primordial. The words begining to sound like a curch sermon in rythm. She withdrawls the Ceremonial Dagger and attempt to lunge forward and ram it into Rune's throat.
Summary: Rune takes two swings at Yaalin, but misses. Diadochi takes a swing from behind Rune, striking at one of the after images of his flickering form. Lafetha continues to heal Abigail (+8). Abigail takes a swing, connecting as Rune doesn’t flicker in time for her blade (9). Sim fires, it passing through one of the flickering images, but not actually connecting. Yaalin, continuing her chant, swings the blade. It connecting with Rune (4).

Round 5 (Begin)
Setup: Rune is in melee with Yaalin, Diadochi, and Abigail in the mid-northern side of the market square. Sim is about 110 feet away, by the south. Lafetha is about 100 feet away from the melee combat, and 20 feet away from Sim in the Southeast. Rune’s beginning to look a bit bloody.
Rune: Breath weapon recharges on 6: 1
Rune disengages (action) from the group. Heading 40 feet to the west. Rune clicks his claws together in a taunt for the others to follow him. He still flickering in and out as he moves. (Disadvantage on attack rolls). Rune does say something in Hn’ti - shouting it into the marketplace. A brief glowing rune appearing on one of the claws.
Sim, from behind you hear a voice. “This is about done now, I’ll give you just one moment to flee archer.” A large six foot cat-like humanoid walks past you. It’s coloring and muscular build similar to a mountain lion, except grey in the muzzle, neck, ankles, and wrists.
The Mountain Lion calls out to the group in the square. “Turn back now, travelers. Before I begin to hunt. And it has been so very long since I have been brought above ground for a threat.” It then shouts something back in Hn’ti to Rune. (Will take actions starting round 6 on initiative count 17). Sim, the creature has it’s back to you. It stands about 95 feet to Lafetha, and 105 feet away from Diadochi, Abigail, and Yaalin.
Diadochi, hears the Lion issue the warning, he hear's Sim call for retreat. He sees Rune clearly taunting them to move. He will Then Shout "Fall Back!" and then double move towards Sim.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing the Lion walk by him and warn him Sim yells to the others “I think it is time to go!” And then adds “Why couldn’t Yeth be here when needed help”
Sim begins to back away. Seeing if his companions move toward him. He eyeballs the Lion for intentions.
Abigail takes note of the tall rugged mountain-tabaxi and his words. (Insight: 16 to see if she can get any more of a read on him and his intentions.)
Abigail (still move / bonus action if wanted)
Insight:
The creature is getting ready to hunt. The threat is certainly to you and friends. It's footing is beginning to make it look like it'll head over to Yaalin or Diadochi first, as they're the closest to Rune. He's either backup or a distraction; to buy more time for Rune or to give a escape route. But the way it looks at Rune in particular.. there's a sense of disdain, but, forced obedience.

Abigail senses the mountain-tabaxi's motives to kill us all, and whispers to herself, "I hope I have a few lives left yet, because this is going to hurt... a lot."
She moves to close the gap between herself and Rune (30 ft. movement + Feline Agility, closes the distance), before taking a desperate swipe at his phasing figure.
Lafetha hears Sim call that we need to get out of here. She double moves towards Sim ((70ft, puts me at 30ft from Sim)) while keeping an eye on the mountain-tabaxi.
Summary: Rune disengages from the trio, moving back 40 feet while taunting them. The Lion enters the square, threatening the team. Diadochi gives a order to fall back, moving 60 feet closer to Sim. Lafetha turns, heading over to Sim, covering the ground with ease and then some. Abigail gets a read on the Lion, before dashing with a blinding tabaxian speed and slashing Rune (8). Sim gets a read on the Lion, before moving back 30 feet to where Lafetha is behind him, gaining some cover through the south part of the ruins of town. Yaalin, casts web on Rune, before moving up to the very edge of the thick layer of webbing that covers the ground.

Round 6 (Begin)
Setup: Rune and Abigail, both in melee, just got covered in a thick coating of webs that spin out from Yaalin's want. Yaalin is about 10 feet away from Rune, unable to move closer without getting into the webbing herself. Diadochi is about 60 feet away from Abigail, Yaalin and Rune, and 40 feet from where Sim was laying down covering fire. Sim and Lafetha are about 30 feet behind the southern side to the market, heading through the streets. and ruins. The Lion is about 40 feet to Diadochi and 100 feet to Abigail, Yaalin and Rune.
Rune's Breath Weapon Recharges on 6: 6 Rune's DEX Save v DC 15: 16
The webs fly and spin, but Rune seems to be able to evade and side-step. Not getting caught in any single strand enough to restain him. The flickering continues, although he did seem worried about the actual impact of the webs around him. (Still Disadvantage) His arms whip out 10 feet, slashing over at Yaalin twice, before slipping away through the web and heading in the same direction as Lion (move 40 feet closer to Lion. Provokes Attack of Opportunity from Abigail)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Diadochi moves 30 feet closer to Sim.
If Rune is still up:
"Sim, Abigail won't stop playing with her prey. Kill it won't you so we can focus on this lion threat." and uses Commander strike add 6 damage if hit.
If Rune went down:
Diadochi calls out to the Lion "I don't want to put judgment values on a culture I barely know but, that thing seemed very close to evil incarnate to me. If you are an enemy to whatever that was, then we can be friends. If not... well then we're already enemies." persuasion if we might be able to be friends but need some scale tipping 20

Yaalin continues to advance on Rune, knowing he is goading her into following and falling for it anyway.
In primordial
Lo, Did the ancestors descend from above, with judgment their wings and Wroth their spears. For the wicked of the world had dwelt in the shadow of their pity for too long and the day of damnation was at hand
Her wand blasts out another Web At the feet of Rune.
And with a bark of command and a spray of saltwater, a Trident appears in front of Rune slashing at him spraying water in its wake. Attack: 11 Damage: 5
((I am thinking the webbing hitting Rune and spraying out past him and the Trident appearing in the webs on the side of him in an attempt to box him. so web on one side, trident on another Yaalin a third and any other party member who attacks him on the 4th.))
Lafetha cast Healing Word 2nd level on Abigail 6
Feeling the healing magic of Yaalin and Lafetha coursing through her and sealing her wounds, Abigail gets back up.
Spitting out the blood still in her mouth, she groans, "Alright... I am going to take great pleasure in killing this one."
Abigail moves to engage Rune, both swords cutting through the air toward the ever-shifting beast.
