If you'll all permit, let me narrate round one, then.
Spotting the foot sticking out of the trash, Phaedra calls out a warning. Hearing that it has been found, the nimblewright stands up brushing the garbage away. Selinae charges it and attempts to knock it down but manages to keep it's footing while stepping back and to the left. Kestrell calls out to it which appears to anger it. While staring at Kestrell, the creature lunges at Selinae, barely catching her off guard. But Selinae won't be caught twice and it's second attack misses. The nimblewrights attack triggers attacks from Kestrell and Elon. Elon shouts "Don't do it!! You can't win!!" as he casts his spell but the spell misses. Kestrell's arrow hits the nimblewright with a solid deep sounding thud and then falls to the ground. Silver attempts catch the creature off guard but it doesn't work and the creature is able to step out of the way of both of his attacks.
Not liking how things are progressing, Phaedra raises a hand, indication to everyone to remain calm.
"Nimblewright, why don't you turn yourself in. We know who you have been working with and that you set the fireball off that killed all those innocent people in Trollskull lane. We have already cleared out the Gralhund Villa and know of there connection to the insane Cult of Asmodeus and we have helped to round up the evil end of the the Zhentarim, including the assassin Urstul. Why did you let the Gralhunds and Zhent's use you?
Selinae, wincing from the blow, " I was hoping to restrain him so we could have a chat...but he's tougher than he looks."
"Hey, tin-man, I can keep sending dents your way all night! Can you speak?"
Kestrell casts Hunter's Mark on the nimblewright, then backs up the most he can (30 feet). Kestrell readies another shot, triggered on if the Nimblewright attacks again:
Attack with Sharpshooter: 8 damage: 15 + 3 Hunter's Mark damage.
"Why to violence so suddenly. Why" Phaedra yells at everybody.
"Stop stop STOP. Can't you all give him time to respond. Hes a creation under the eyes of Gond, that has clearly been used by evil to do its will... can't you all see that."
She runs over to the Nimblwright and turns to face the rest of the party.
"He could know so much about what has been happening"

OOC: Phaedra is first in initiative order, but to me it made more sense to move her speech to the end. If that's not ok Phae, let me know and I'll move it to the beginning of the round.
"Hey, tin-man, I can keep sending dents your way all night! Can you speak?" Yells Kestrell as he lifts his bow and readies an arrow.
Selinae looked at the cut on her arm and drew her short sword and a dagger lunging at the machine. But the creature was able to lithely dance between her blows.
Elon casts witch bolt again and the nimblewright manages to dodge out of the way, again.
Silver just looks back at Phaedra, "Don't know if that'll be possible." he says slashing at the creature again. The rouge's first swing hits but the feel of it is all wrong, throwing off his second swing just enough for the nimblewright to dodge it. It's then Silver realizes the creature isn't made of metal. It's wood painted to look like metal.... and his attack didn't seem to hurt it at all.
"Why to violence so suddenly. Why" Phaedra yells at everybody. "Stop stop STOP. Can't you all give him time to respond. Hes a creation under the eyes of Gond, that has clearly been used by evil to do its will... can't you all see that."
She runs over to the Nimblwright and turns to face the rest of the party. "He could know so much about what has been happening"
Silver quickly looks at her "He also killed innocent people, it's a machine just the head will be fine."
"I was just trying to immobilize him and he decided to cut my arm open." cries Selinae. "I'm happy to try that again, Boss. Just say the word."
"A being brought to life using holy magic... magic Silver. Nim was sentient, he could think for himself... maybe this one can as well..." responds the cleric.
As the party is yelling back and forth the nimblewright takes the opportunity to attack Phaedra from behind, successfully stabbing the holy one twice before she could react. Seeing this, Kestrell looses his arrow but to his dismay the creature again manages to dodge the incoming attack.
Phae & Kestrell face an upright opponent, Sel successfully knocks the nimblewright to the ground and grapples it. So it'll be both prone and grappled during Elon and Silver's actions.
Silver just sighs looking at them all and the craziness "This better be worth the effort." he says sheathing his swords and pulling out a rope as he attempts to tie up the grappled nimblewright.
Elon's help gives Silver an advantage on rope tying. Silver rolled 12 the first time and 17 the second. The larger is now the DC the nimblewright has to beat to slip out of the ropes.
Phaedra's face shows the betrayal of being stabbed from behind. "You... your probably a gift from Asmodeus" she yells back at it. Clutching at her wound, Phaedra holts forth her holy symbol and yells "HALT!"
At this command the nimblewright stops all movement just as Selinae hits it. In moments Selinae has it on the ground and restrained. Seconds later Silver and Elon have managed to secure ropes around it and have the creature hogtied.
Everyone takes a step back and watches as the nimblewright just lays there not moving. A few more seconds pass and Phaedra's magic loses it's hold. The creature starts to move again, testing it's bindings. After a few moments it stops again and turns its head as best it can to look at you all. And somehow, even with no facial features or expression, you can tell that it's glaring at you.
End of round 3. End of combat (unless someone wishes to do something else?)
Kestrell walks back up to the group, still training an arrow on the thing, ready to shoot it if it breaks free. "Nicely done! How come it isn't speaking?"
