Three of the guards open fire on (1=Devin, 2 = Ebonitus, 3 = Ilezenya, 4 = D.O.R.K.) {4, 2, 3) while anybody that looks back can see two of the guards rushing around and kicking the others who appear to be sleeping)
On Devin - unable to use his shield as he is both trying to hang onto Lukian {who is unresponsive} and control his horse Attack: 12 Damage: 2 Attack: 19 Damage: 9
On Ilezenya Attack: 16 Damage: 3
Both bolts hit Devin but i'm guessing he keeps on riding. What are the rest of the party doing?

The Killing Ground
As Devin gallops off. Ebonitus and Ilezenya exhort D.O.R.K. to run as fast as he can. The metal construct dashes towards his friends and they continue to make their way away from the wall.
As the bolts die away as the guards frantically reload their crossbows a beam of sickly green light spears out targeting (1-2 = D.O.R.K., 3-4 = Ebonitus, 5-6 = Ilezenya) {4} Attack: 14 Damage: 21
(@Grant: Somehow missed the update about plans. But, all for the better... also ow! You can stop critting any time now! T.T Still up though.. barely thanks to Ebon.)
D.O.R.K staggers a few feet forward beneath sickly ray, but finds her footing without collapsing on the spot. Silently grateful for having passed along Lukian's body, D.O.R.K slows in finding her pace again, tracing the symbol on her forehead several times. Eventually, both it and her eyes glow a deep crimson as the miracle of connection becomes active.
"Grreeetings Harshang. This is operative Dork speaking. Require long range covering fire upon Nesme forces, if possible. If not, prepare. Possibly coming in hot."She says, and with the spells completion, both symbol and eyes return to normal.
Movement: 30ft further away from the wall (90ft+ from wall)

As Ebonitus is peppered with the quarrels, he takes a couple of nicks, then feels the force of the spell cast on D.o.R.K. (Concentration saves: (DC10) 16, 15, 18 )
Ebonitus has lost mental contact with D.o.R.K. but is still running alongside her. He also slows to cast cure wounds upon himself (using his only remaining spell slot - 3rd level) to heal himself for 18.
He will try to communicate with Mambo once he is within range of the fire elemental.

As Devin continues to gallop off, Ilezenya picks up the pace .D.O.R.K. and Ebonitus lag behind but still continue to make their way away from the wall.
The Message sent, D.O.R.K double timed it after Devin. Though she had no hope to catch up any time soon, the push is made all the same. If they could just get beyond the effective range of the crossbows, then escape might not be impossible. Difficult, if pursued, but not impossible at the very least.
Action/Movement:Dash further away from the wall. (+150ft away from wall).

Ilezenya moves another 30' (120' from walls) and holds up his hoy symbol. A sphere of twilight envelops him and any other creatures within 30'. "Come to the shadow and receive the Moon's touch!" he calls to the other party members. (6 temp HP gained)
(Twilight Sanctuary: As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a sphere of twilight emanates from you. The sphere is centered on you, has a 30-ft. radius, and is filled with dim light. The sphere moves with you, and it lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated or die. Whenever a creature (including you) ends its turn in the sphere, you can grant that creature one of these benefits: - You grant it 1d6+5 temporary hit points. - You end one effect on it causing it to be charmed or frightened.)

Run, run , run
The three party members continue to dash as fast as they can out of range but they still need to cover 300 feet (1-2 = D.O.R.K., 3-4 = Ebonitus, 5-6 = ilezenya)
As Devin heads around the bend he is so preoccupied with trying to bring Lukian to safety he leaves the others behind. After another 100 feet past the bend he stops and then checks on Lukian. He has been so busy riding the horse and escaping he has little chance to have more than try to keep him alive with the Spare the Dying spell.
He slows and stops and checks for a pulse of Lukian, casting Cure Wounds on him for 4+5 if he finds him still alive.
He will wait for the others to catch up after this.
D.O.R.K never stops running -- not until they had finally regrouped with Devin. Though if necessary, slowing down to make sure all made it safely to cover at least was more than acceptable. Beyond that, she still waited for a response from Harshnag. Her concern quickly growing by the second once the group are finally reunited again. Even after they are, she hardly gives the others more than a few moments to breath before plainly stating, "It is ill-advise for us to remain here. Outriders may be sent out soon. We need to regroup with Harshnag and Mr. G, and consider our next step from here."

Ebonitus, while running away and trying to commune with Mambo is pierced by three bolts (concentration saving throws: Con DC 10: 4, 4, 16 )
Having his concentration broken, he waves at Mambo while running, and gesticulates to Make it Clear that Mambo is to follow us out of the open area and down the road. He watches Mambo to ensure that he understands and is following.
(OOC: ignore the pre OOC:, i misread timings, I was referring to post #3690, where I took all the damage.)
Once around the bend and out of sight, Ebonitus slows down a little and catches his breath. He then seeks Mambo's mind using detect thoughts compliments of the helm of telepathy.
(@Grant: Z'all good. No hard plan yet based on reactions so far, though I expect must are waiting for the following responses:)
Devin trying to "reconfirm" that Lukian is indeed dead dead, not miraculous alive due to reasons.
Ebonitus is reaching out for Mambo, presumably with the intent to lead him towards the group.
D.O.R.K is still waiting on the response from Harshnag to her Sending. As well as responses from the others about pushing to try and get back Golemgote before deciding step.
And Ilnezya... I'm not sure. There was mention of continually rebuffing the group with Temp HP from his channel divinity until it expires(Temp HP remaining until next long rest or depleted), but nothing else from there regarding the situation, I suppose.

As D.O.R.K. send her message to Harshnag she hears his gravelly voice in her head “coming in hot you say that’ll be interesting to see. Mind you your fiery friend took off from here like his arse was on fire so that might explain it!”
The party continue down towards the camp with Mambo leaping from one side of the road to the other setting fire to anything and everything with gay abandon – the place is starting to look a bit like a moonscape by the time they get closer to camp. As they get closer they notice that quietly grazing beside Golemogote is a dappled horse but unusually lying along its back are a pair of folded wings. Then they spot a figure sitting beside Harshnag in deep conversation with him.
So long as Mambo's antics weren't endangering the campsite D.O.R.K, at least, would ignore it for the most part. Her priority would be on the winged horse and the figure speaking to Harshnag. Which, unless the others ran forth to interact with the pair, she unabashedly marches her way over to the pair, if the others hadn't beaten her to the punch. And if at least one had, then she turned her attention instead to making sure that Mr. G would be ready to go at a moment's notice.
"Apologies, Harshnag. But, we need to depart soon. The proverbial hornets nest has been disturbed, and there is no guarantee they will not prepare out riders to pursue us."She stated simply, before turning and regarding the other figure. "Apologies as well for the interruption. I am...... an Operative of the Red Knight."

Ilezenya stayed with the group - he was intrigued as to how the group had come together and what their mission was. They were an eclectic bunch to be sure! He listened and observed, gleaning as much information as he could. As a Dusk Warden, he was more accustomed to traveling alone in the dark, so this was a new experience for the half-drow.
