Briny hesitates, making sure the halfling has stopped moving then looks to the elf fighting Uragum. Without turning her gaze she says to Hex "I'll Grab one arm, you grab the other?" Not really waiting for a reply she launches herself at the last remaining enemy.
Hex joins Briny in holding the elf down for Uragum to finish off. (Rather than rolling a separate check, Hex will just use the help action and give Briny advantage on the check instead)
Sylyra focuses his energy, bringing the moonbeam around the party toward the remaining halfling. Having had enough of the fight once the light begins to sear into him, the man disengages and flees back into the alley around the corner, leaving the elf as the last man standing.
The elf fights like a madman, shoving Briny and Hex away as they attempt to pin him down, then leaping above Uragum's kick and swinging wildly again with his mace, crunching it painfully into Uragum's side.
Round 5 Order: Players <===== Elf

"You are alone! The others have fled and died and you alone. Surrender and you will live to see tomorrow," Uragum shouts at the elf. As he does so he spreads his arms wide and tries to bear hug and restrain him.
(Oh didn't realise there was still another halfing haha, thought they died.)
Hex stumbles back as the elf pushes her off of him. "Urgh, wow. He's a fighter." She spins her swords in her hand and attempts to whack him on the head with the hilt. If he still isn't knocked out, she does so again with her shortsword.
Sylyra flicks his hand, and the moonbeam fades away. Scowling, the elf says to no one in particular, "He's getting away." There is a blurring of form and vision, and the lithe elf is replaced by a thin feline. Cat-Sylyra takes off after the fleeing halfling.
Finally held firmly by Uragum's hulk-like hands, the elf looks on helplessly as Hex bashes him on the temple. Knocked thoroughly unconscious, he falls limp. Sylyra takes off into the alleyway, giving chase to the fleeing halfling.
For Sylyra:
As you round the bend, leaving the cul-de-sac into the alley, you see the fleeing halfling just 10 feet ahead of you. He continues sprinting, reaching the end of this alley, where it intersects with the first (60 feet away from you at the end of his turn).

With the elf unconscious, Hex looks up to Uragum and says "Stay here, tie him up and keep an eye on him... also on these." She drops both her scimitar and shortsword before turning around and dashing to catch up with Briny and Sylyra, picking up her bow along the way.
If she manages to get them in her sight before dashing, she'd take a shot at them with her bow, tracking them with Hunter's Mark.
Free Action: Pick up bow
Movement: 30ft after Briny, Sylyra and Halfing
If they don't come in sight, Action: Dash.
If they come in sight, Bonus Action: Hunter's Mark
Briny passes Sylyra, giving chase and nearly catching the halfling. As the fleeing guard reaches the intersection of the alley, Hex arrives at the opposite end and fires an arrow that plants itself into a nearby crate.
Clearly unable to escape with shorter legs, the man throws his spear to the side and drops to his knees in front of Briny and the approaching cat. "Okay, I yield, I yield! Don't kill me!" he shouts.
OOC: Characters have earned 87 XP for defeating the elf and his compatriots!
Briny gets out her rope and has the halfling put his hands behind his back where she ties them, then wraps the rope a couple of times around his waist for good measure, then awkwardly holds the rest of the rope. "Let's head back to the others, shall we? We want answers and you don't get your freedom until we get them!"
Hex gives Cat-Sylyra a quick scritch under the chin before helping Briny bring the halfing back to where Uragum and the elf is. She picks up and sheathes her dropped swords before squatting in front of the halfing.
"Alright, while we're waiting on the elf to wake up, why don't you tell us who you're working for and what they want?"
Uragum will put the elf down and then also tie him up. While waiting for him to regain consciousness, Uragum will search his person for anything of note and remove any weapons from him.
"I don't know! Some man in a black half-mask what hired us, don't know who they were or nothin'. Had smudges of blue ink all over their hands, that's all I noticed. That's all I know, and it ain't worth dyin' over, I'll tell you that!" the halfling proclaims.
Uragum ties up the elf and moves his mace and heavy crossbow aside as the others return to the cul-de-sac. Aside from 25 gold pieces that are inside of the man's pocket, Uragum also discovers that the ears of the "elf" are fake, and his body is proportionate to a human.
OOC: Added 6 gp to each character's inventory. 1 gp is remaining to be claimed.

Sylyra flicks his hand, and the moonbeam fades away. Scowling, the elf says to no one in particular, "He's getting away." There is a blurring of form and vision, and the lithe elf is replaced by a thin feline. Cat-Sylyra takes off after the fleeing halfling.
Action: wild shape into a cat
Movement: 40 feet after the halfling
OOC: Welcome back Sylyra!
Finally held firmly by Uragum's hulk-like hands, the elf looks on helplessly as Hex bashes him on the temple. Knocked thoroughly unconscious, he falls limp. Sylyra takes off into the alleyway, giving chase to the fleeing halfling.
For Sylyra:
As you round the bend, leaving the cul-de-sac into the alley, you see the fleeing halfling just 10 feet ahead of you. He continues sprinting, reaching the end of this alley, where it intersects with the first (60 feet away from you at the end of his turn).

With the elf overpowered and another party member giving chase Briny turns and dashes off after the halfling as well, passing the cat for the moment.
With the elf unconscious, Hex looks up to Uragum and says "Stay here, tie him up and keep an eye on him... also on these." She drops both her scimitar and shortsword before turning around and dashing to catch up with Briny and Sylyra, picking up her bow along the way.

Sylyra continues to pursue the halfling, trying to look less like a cat chasing the halfling and more like a cat scared by a running trio.
Briny passes Sylyra, giving chase and nearly catching the halfling. As the fleeing guard reaches the intersection of the alley, Hex arrives at the opposite end and fires an arrow that plants itself into a nearby crate.
Clearly unable to escape with shorter legs, the man throws his spear to the side and drops to his knees in front of Briny and the approaching cat. "Okay, I yield, I yield! Don't kill me!" he shouts.

"Let's head back to the others, shall we? We want answers and you don't get your freedom until we get them!"
Cat-Sylyra saunters behind, aloof and looking very much like a true feline.
Hex gives Cat-Sylyra a quick scritch under the chin before helping Briny bring the halfing back to where Uragum and the elf is. She picks up and sheathes her dropped swords before squatting in front of the halfing.
