[OOC: Yeah, taunting would still be a form of intimidation, even if it's just to get attention, after all - Mairi is an easy mark to them now - so it'll take something more than just crying out to get their attention from the weaker target. As for things - to help people keep track - here's the two inititiaves going on right now, seperated out:
Mairi (waiting on move for this round - Tyrus has already taken an action to get outside and distract them - but that will be his next turn - this is where we are in this initiative right now) Tyrus Wererats
Briga Saralyssa (We are here on this initiative - waiting for Sara's second death save) Nimblewright
And what did you expect when you split the party :P
(Not to get attacked out of nowhere by wererats for no reason? Should've tried harder to do the hands in the air, "Look man, I don't want none of this" sort of thing. X))
When Mairi comes to, it takes every bit of focus to keep from immediately drawing attention to herself. Even then, there's at least some tension trying to piece together the situation going by feet and voice alone, as she dared not look up. Seizing one chance or the other depending on if focuses shifted to the bard, she either tries to crawl away during the distraction to hide behind the bar or some tables possibly turned over during the scuffle.
Though if the seem less than viable, she musters one last word of encouragement and healing, before making a bold break for it outside, calling for guards.
Briga's action was to move to Sarah and pick her up and rush out into the main street, while screaming for help at the top of her lungs. The construct may have taken an opportunity attack on Briga as she did not Withdraw when she left its threatened area.
As Mairi recovers and Tyrus gets out of the room, she is nearby the door to the pantry, which to the Kitchen also has another exit out of the manor. Tyrus distracts them as they turn toward him and chuckle "scared we'll hurt ya girlfriend dwarfy?" one of the wererats says in response with a laugh. It gives Mairi a moment of distraction to get away as they engage in talk with Tyrus.
As Briga pulls Saralyssa away from the construct, once you are out of the alley, it turns around, and goes running off out of sight once more. As it does so, a slip of paper falls from the metallic hat it wears, landing on the floor.
(OOC: FYI, at this point Briga and Sara are out of initiative. Whether Tyrus and Mairi are will depend on them...)
Briga makes a mental note to claim the paper after she has seen to Sara’s condition, as far as she knows the young woman is still in peril. She continues shouting for help, and attempts a Medicine check to stabilize her.
If possible she will also go through Sara’s things looking for anything she can identify as a healing potion, while still calling out for help. (I don’t know offhand how many failed death saves Sara has, but this is getting close.)
About a few seconds after the Nimblewright has gone out of sight, two of the city watch come running towards the two of you, seeing the wounded woman on the ground, one of the lieutenants come over and attempt to stabilize Sara.

As the guard is unsuccessful trying to save Sara, the other walks over to Briga to ask what happened.
“She’s in really bad shape, we need to save her!” Briga shouts, speaking rapidly, still keyed up by the scenario and the recently ended Rage (which would have ended the first round she neither attacked or took damage). She rapidly spews the bullet points of a description, pointing to clarify. “Bounty hunters, that’s us. Investigating a rogue construct. Found it. It’s dangerous. Fought it in that alleyway. Can’t find our Paladin. Sara is dying maybe. Gotta try.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
One of the watchmen goes running just in case things go bad, trying to get to one of the temples in time. The other attempts once again to stabilize Sara.

He manages to stabilize Sara, stopping the bleeding out, but still unconscious. As they get her stable, all they can do now is wait for the other watchman to return from the temple for her. And so one turns their attention to Briga. "So, now that the immediate danger is dealt with, care to explain what happened?" the watchman asks.
Briga sighs, relieved to see Sara breathing again. "Thank you so much. Thank you."
She lifts the smaller woman easily, then looks to the guard, confused. "I thought I explained pretty clearly before," she says, although her earlier explanation was a series of panicked exclamations. "I'm a licensed bounty hunter with the city. Oh, also a knight with the Order of the Gauntlet, that's new. Anyway , my friends and I, we were investigating a rogue construct, a nimblewright. We cornered it in that alley but it was more powerful than I had expected. We can't locate Griffdar, our paladin. Sara here took some nasty wounds, so I grabbed her and withdrew. The suspect construct fled, but fortunately, with your help, it looks like Sara is going to pull through. I can give you a description of the thing. It's dangerous and might still be in the area. If any of your men spot it, tell them to approach with, like, extreme caution."
The watchman nodded as Briga explained the situation and then told her "Well, keeping an eye out for the Nimblewright will be easier said than done. There's hundreds of the things on the Dock Ward for the Sea Maidens Fayre next month, and they all look identical, I've started seeing the ones serving the Eyecatcher on land getting things ready for the carnival," the guard tells her with a look of disappointment. "But if there is a rogue nimblewright around, it must be dismantled and destroyed," he explains. "As a member of the Order, I'll get work to the Captain of the Watch, who can inform the Blackstaff. After all, these are magical constructs, and she knows them the best. I would suggest reporting this to the Order of Magists and Protectors as well. They know magic better than us," he adds. "So, if there's nothing else, we will keep our eyes out for the rogue nimblewright, and get word throughout the city," he concludes.
Briga nods, and says, “I’ll do that, after I get my friend here somewhere safe she can rest and recover. Thank you again, so much, for your help. I was really afraid we were going to lose her.”
She heads back towards the Trollskull Manor tavern, thinking it surely the safest place for Sara to rest and recover, easily carrying the smaller woman’s weight.

Action/Movement(Crawling): Hide - 22. (If possible. )
OR(If above is not actually feasible)
Bonus Action: Cast (1st level)Healing Word on self, restoring 4.
Movement/Action: Stand up and dash back out the door and down the main street(45ft of movement) to try and call for guards.
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Briga's action was to move to Sarah and pick her up and rush out into the main street, while screaming for help at the top of her lungs. The construct may have taken an opportunity attack on Briga as she did not Withdraw when she left its threatened area.
Saralyssa death save: 17

Briga makes a mental note to claim the paper after she has seen to Sara’s condition, as far as she knows the young woman is still in peril. She continues shouting for help, and attempts a Medicine check to stabilize her.
3 Medicine Check
OOC: I don’t recall if we ever received Inspiration but if she had it she would use it to try to save their new ally.
If possible she will also go through Sara’s things looking for anything she can identify as a healing potion, while still calling out for help. (I don’t know offhand how many failed death saves Sara has, but this is getting close.)
1 fail 1 success so far.
death save #3: 8
2 fail and 1 success now.
OOC: Is anyone on the streets responding to the cries for help, or, did Briga locate a healing potion of any kind among Sara's kit?
Saralyssa has no healing potions on her.
About a few seconds after the Nimblewright has gone out of sight, two of the city watch come running towards the two of you, seeing the wounded woman on the ground, one of the lieutenants come over and attempt to stabilize Sara.

Medicine 9
OOC: I think that brings it around to Sara’s death save, for our group.
Death save then... 12
2 failures and 2 successes...
Briga makes a final attempt, finding no potions amid the gear, she tries to stop the bloodflow as best she can based on intuition.
Medicine: 15
