As the telegraphed blow comes in Andor dodges easily, and returns the sentiment with an attack of his own 7 but misses, the slipperiness causing him to miss too. Determined to get the barkeep out of the fight he swings again 19 using a bar stool as an effective club. As the Barkeep reels from his hit he grabs him and tries to throw him back over the bar 10 vs 18 but his luck runs out as he heaves only to see the man not budge an inch. "Well this is awkward, at this point I'd like to remind you that we came in for a quiet drink and in fact you threw the first punch." the sorcerer says in a quiet voice as he looks up at the man he has just clubbed over the head with a stool.
Shaking his head to snap out of his haze, Vigan suddenly realises what happened to him, and looks round the others. "Not a word of this to anyone!" He charges at the nearest patron (#12), and using his great strength, throws him through a nearby window onto rose bushes at the front of the inn.
More locals fall to the adventurers, and the remainder begin to charge our heroes en masse, the reputation of their shithole village resting on their ability to send these outsiders packing.

Ladrian fails to do meaningful damage to his opponent, who takes off a shoe and slaps the bard around the face with it, leaving a bright, red welt where it connected. (-1 life)
Two locals rush Vigan at the same time, one managing to hit him with chair as he dodges the attack of the other. (-1 life, reaction against #7 next round)
The man thrown through the window by Vigan moments earlier bursts through the inn door, rage painted across his face, and makes a beeline for Carrow. At the same moment, a patron returning from relieving himself decides to lunge at Carrow too. Both getting in each other's way, an argument ensures over who should get to hit the ranger first. (Reaction for Carrow against either #12 or #13 next round)
Recovering from the stool attack, the barkeeper yells in anger at Andor, yellow spit flecking the sorcerer's face, before he grabs him and throws him over the bar, where he lands in a heap on the floor. (-1 life)
With the serving wench stopping her feud with one of the patrons, she turns and locks onto Rixton, lowers her head, and grunts like a bull. Despite her massive frame, she charges at the monk with surprising acceleration, her belly, legs and arms bulging and wobbling with every stride. The bar breaks in two as the wench smashes into Rixton with everything she's got, leaving our hapless hero broken on the floor next to Andor. (KO!)
Laughing at Rixton's misfortune, the musician cries "Good hit Bessy!", and scuttles off the table and onto the floor using his hands, his accordion slung across his back.
Next round! Everyone take a second to pray for Rixton. Spoiler below is a summary of everyone left and their current lives.
Vigan: 2 (Giving him a bit of healing up to 3 lives)
Thanking the gods that the serving wench didn't go for him instead, Vigan, in another display of his strength, grabs the patron in front of him and swings him like a club into the next nearest local, knocking the man out and sending both bodies flying. Only Vigan's 'club' rises again, using the nearby table to prop himself up.
Andor gets to his feet and reaches across the bar, towards the barkeeper. Again the greasy surface of the bar is used to good effect and the barkeeper is sent flying out of the window to Andor's left. Satisfied, he climbs onto the bar and surveys his surroundings. Not wanting to tangle with the serving wench, he jumps from the bar and grabs onto a chandelier, swinging over the heads of everyone below, and successfully landing on one of the patrons to the rear of the melee, knocking him out cold.
With most of the patrons lying on the ground in and around the inn, the rest converge on the adventurers, determined to finish this. Even the legless musician.

#12 - Attack Carrow: 2
#13 - Attack Carrow: 17

W - Move to I6 and attack Vigan
M - Attack Andor: 13
Roll for W: 1
A hardened veteran of bar-fighting by now, Andor takes a solid punch in the face from the man facing him without going down. Before he can celebrate, the legless musician smacks him across the back of his legs with the accordion, bringing forth a strange noise, from the instrument, and from Andor. (-1 life)
A small circular table connects with Vigan's head, scattering a few of his teeth and drawing some blood. The wench, still in the throes of an uncontrollable rage, charges at Vigan in an attempt to put him down for a second time. The alcohol soaking the floor has other ideas though, and she slips and fall to the floor at the goliath's feet, allowing him to retaliate at his leisure. (-1 life, Vigan has a reaction next round against W)
His good fortune continuing, Carrow managed to only take one hit from the three ingratiates surrounding him. Clearly not experienced in the art of team fighting, they merely get in each other's way, rather then doing any significant damage. (-1 life, Carrow has a reaction next round against #5 or #12)
Ladrian takes a sharp blow as one of the locals yanks a candlestick from the wall, and swings it at his head with a satisfying 'clunk' sound. (-1 life)
The general sounds of food preparation have now stopped coming from the kitchen, replaced by whistling, and you suspect that the cook is now tidying up.
Next round. Rixton is back in the game. Spoiler below is a summary of everyone left and their current lives. Carrow and Ladrian can still have that drink to gain a life (at the expense of a grapple).
Vigan: 1
Andor: 3
Carrow: 3
Ladrian: 2
Rixton: 3 (Healed back up to 3 lives for next round)
As the wench stumbles at his feet, Vigan brings a table down onto her head. Using his strength to drag her back to a standing position, he then grabs her by the arm and swings her towards the front door, in an attempt to help Carrow. His aim is off, however, and instead the wench careers into the wall next to the door, going straight through it like an over-sized cannonball. Part of the front of the inn collapses from the impact, splintered timbers and cracked stones spilling out into the street.
As he turns to look at the musician Andor balls his fists "that was the best that instrument has sounded in its lifetime I imagine you ham-fisted lump!"
He then attacks the minstrel 12 but the punch seems not to trouble him, he then grabs him by the shirt and tries to throw him into the wall 7 vs 8 but gets locked into a tussle neither man seems to be able to come out on top of "I'm going to Lightning Bolt the sh1t out of you, consider yourself warned!" he mutters as they struggle.
With only one opponent left in his immediate vicinity thanks to Rixton, Carrow runs behind the bar and returns with a sizable barrel raised over his head. He slams it on the head of another drunk, resulting in the top half of the man getting stuck in the barrel. He wanders about, dazed, for a second, before tripping over some debris and hitting the deck.
Victory within their grasp, the adventurers add to their already impressive body-count. Surely nothing can stop them now?

C - Move to H7, attacking Vigan and grappling Ladrian (Attack: 11, Grapple: 17 vs 20)
M - Attack Andor: 5
Andor takes another punch to the face from one of his new best friends, as the musician below him swipes at him and misses, going off balance and giving Andor the opportunity to mercilessly assault a helpless cripple. (Reaction attack against the musician next round)
With most of the furniture now in pieces, one of the drunks seizes a table leg and flies at Rixton, connecting with his nose with a hearty crunch. (-1 life)
More 'good' drink is wasted as another bottle comes crashing down on Ladrian's head, causing him to buckle slightly. (-1 life)
The door to the kitchen finally bursts open, and out rushes a rather large firbolg, easily over 10 feet tall, with a dirty bed sheet acting as a makeshift apron, and a giant rolling pin on one hand. With a roar it lunges at Vigan and clubs him hard enough that the goliath sails across the inn and lands in a heap in the floor, out cold for the second time this evening. The firbolg then attempts to grab Ladrian, but the grease and dirt on it's hands allows the bard to slip out of it's grasp.
Next round. Spoiler below is a summary of everyone left and their current lives. Carrow and Ladrian can still have that drink to gain a life (at the expense of a grapple).
(I've been giving the NPCs only one attack per round to balance things, the firbolg has an attack and grapple per round, same as us, and a bit more HP than the rest)
Watching his man drop instantly from his uppercut the Ranger, extremely proud of himself, puffs his chest out and eyes the cook. Charging over he spins the Furbolg round and grabs him.
Grapple Carrow 5
Grapple Cook 20
Overcoming the Cooks strength Carrow utilizes his skill at arms, turning the cook around again he proceeds to get the cook in an elaborate hold and smashes his head off the table Infront of him.

Ladrian
