The crossbow wielding man grits his teeth in pain, seeing that he has their once prisoner at his back. The man pulls his dagger from his sash and dares to plunge it deep. The wrinkles around his face grow sinister when the small blade digs into her. (5 piercing damage)
"I told you to sit put, now look what ya made us do." He barks in Ria's face, spitting at her as he goes to make a run for it, to where he hopes his crew had left to.
(Hey, I'm not sure if that puts Ria unconscious, if not, you have an opportunity attack if you want to use your reaction.)
[After Ria's confirmation, it's Trinity's Turn, Jason on deck and Katznii right after. To that point, we will make another introduction for Witness :1 ]

Kathleen is conflicted. On one hand the thugs struck down Ria so they aren't looking too good. On the other hand, they seem to all be fighting for something they believe in and not willing to take the coward's way and surrender. She continues to watch without intervening and wonders which side she should help.
(It’s going to be a ranged shot again, since T3 used his movement to get 30ft away https://sta.sh/0zvmhjr41mc )
(I’ll use the same attack roll as the 1st attack since Trnity’s ability is the same)
The man begins to fade into the brush as Ria’s vision begins to fade. Just as she closed her eyes, a figure runs to the side of her, arm extended to aim the small hand crossbow at the thug. With a keen eye, the tigger is pulled, and the bolt zips across the humid air. A quick yelp comes from the man as their body tumbled into the brush.

Still surging forth lighting from his hand, Jason keeps letting lose on T2, but he finds himself slowly beginning to descend as the wind around him dies down, though the energy still crackles in his eyes. With most of the pain gone, the bolt incinerated and the release of this power, Jason feels some clarity returning to him.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Running over from the side of the clearing, Katznii falls to a knee at the side of the dying woman. Placing his hand on her gushing wound, he wills her body to heal, entreating flesh to knit and blood to staunch and flow anew as intended. "Stay with us lass. I feel it is not yet your time."
Action: Healing Light Ria for 5
As the haze of death recedes in the wake of divine light, Ria will find this man kneeling beside her, golden eyes blazing with divine light as he heals her with one hand while almost absently picking up and stowing his spent boomerang from the ground with the other.

"The mongoose blew out its candle and was asleep in bed before the room went dark." —Llanowar fable
The electrified man crackles with more arcane lightning, his shriek of pain more audible, his body covered in burns.
As Katznii heals Ria awake, several of you watch as a silhouette casts a shadow from above. A humanoid, with wings spread to land. He had seen what he needed to and, after what he saw further in the jungle, these people needed help. Maybe not with the current fight, but surely what might be next.
Just as the winged elf pursues landing among the odd Congregation, the thug can’t take it anymore. He wants the lightning to stop. He lifts the crossbow at his target and shoots.
Amidst the witch bolt, Jason feels something shoot into his chest. (1 piercing damage)

“What the-” Asphodel scrunched his nose to look up at the humanoid approaching the grounds. As he begins to clue into his surroundings, he notices one thug still alive. He'll call out to the others.
"You know.. I'm all for slaughtering but don't you have questions for them? Something like, 'why is a group out in the middle of no where with'.." he gestures to Ria. "Seems fishy. Trust me, I'd know." He takes a few steps back, being wary of the man above. He'll wait to see how the others respond before doing anything else.
Kathleen stays hidden to see what the guys do. As far as she can tell, neither of the two parties have noticed her yet. From what she can gather from Asphodel's words, it seems that the deader of the two parties were planning to do something at this place. If the thug is questioned, then she might be able to figure something out as to what's going on here.

A swift gust of air and wings that resemble those of an eagles, once held this slender, tanned skin man aloft- now land him directly between the 2nd thug and the tree line, Striking forth with a short- tribal looking spear as he does.Attack
[Don't worry about updating that damage, your crit alone would be enough]
The spear juts through the front of his chest as blood begins to trickle through his blackened hide. His eyes jolt wide, looking at Jason one last time before the spear is removed and his body slumps to the lush tropic floor. For once in the past minute or so, the world goes quiet. The song of cicadas and tropic birds begin to mask the violence once more, as the only voice between the lot of you begs for mercy.
"Please, I-I I won't do anything! I promise. Don't kill me please. I don't want any trouble, I was just following my orders, its my job! You can understand that, right? Please don't...don't kill me." The half-elf begs between sobs, their younger, splotchy face turning to try and see mercy in any of your faces.
[You guys are officially out of combat, there isn't a direct order anyone has to follow to post currently, you can RP amongst yourselves or with the remaining thug.]

Ria stands and flatly ignores the half-elf, crossing the clearing to a pile of weapons. She grabs a rapier and a shortsword, slipping them into empty sheathes at her belt. "Thanks and all guys, but I'm going to go see what I can do about the others." She grabs a pair of daggers, sliding one into a sheath beneath her sleeve and the other into her boot, then flips Jason's dagger so she's holding it by the blade and holds it out to him hilt-first. "You said you need my help? What did you mean?"
Kathleen, still hidden, feels very sorry for the captured thug. Given her current state, she is having a lot of trouble going with her thoughts and doesn't quite know if she should jump in on the man's rescue or should she wait it out. After some consideration, she decides to play it safe but not be coward and hide. She comes out of hiding and stands a bit far away from the party. She has her bow and arrow in her hand in case the victorious party turns out to be hostile. (Bow is not aimed at anyone but she is Ready to shoot if things get bad)
For now she has decided that a straight-forward approach is the best approach. She says to the party, her voice a little raised to make sure everyone can hear her. "Hello there! What's going on over here? Why have you captured this poor man?"Her voice is smooth to the ears, the tone having a hint of kindness and care not unlike a young mother but it also has a somewhat childish touch. It can be best described being like a caring big sister.
In the looks department, she is quite tall for an elf, standing over six feet tall (6ft 2 in). Her build, though fit, seems to not be as slender as elves traditionally are, being closer to a female human's build. She has long golden hair tied in a neat pony tail. Her blue eyes coupled with the rest of her facial features bear signs of someone of high birth. However her sun tanned skin and the lean muscles on her exposed arms signify more physical work and time in the sun than what is normal for a noblewoman. Her armor is painted bright white and is cleaner than you'd expect for someone in the forest. The clothes visible beneath the armor are bluish black. A cheap pendant of gold painted metal and colored glass hangs around her neck. However the most striking feature of this elf is the collection of wounds that had healed only a couple of days ago; caked blood from sealed cuts, blackened patches from healed bruises and a few burn marks from cauterized wounds.
(OOC: Sorry for the lengthy post. I thought I should go into detail on how Kathleen looks and talks since this is the first time she's interacting with the party)
