"If you can find a way to make them touch him long enough he'll pass out. Just don't drop them on me, or we're both screwed!" Roland says looking for a place to turn a corner and trying to spot any sign of their other two companions.
Perception: 5

 Roland can’t quite find anywhere to turn! However, he can see out of the corner of his eye, a large turtle way back behind him!

"Slow down some, Roland... maybe I can tackle his leg and crush some of the gold pieces against it," Ormond suggests with some... hesitation... in his voice. He flexes his gauntleted (Gauntlets of Ogre Power) hand as he speaks. He then loosens his money pouch, grabbing a few gold coins and clenching them tightly so they do not touch Roland.

Roland slows down enough for Ironsides to catch up to him "Make this one count!"

Taking the scene in, Penny curses fluidly, but redoubles her running.

OOC > She will move, dash, then cunning action dash.

Deshthi runs along, however, Penny is outpacing him, “Oh dear, oh dear! Penny! What should Deshti do!?”

“Keep up!” she shouts. “They’ve gotta stop sometime!”

As Ormond and Roland slow down, Tavish arrives behind them, “Out of breath already? Won’t lie, expected more out of you.” He flexes his hands and sweeps them toward you, as his arm extends like liquid metal, “IRON MANACLE!”

I’ll next Dex Saves from the both of you. However! After that, you can attempt your plan.

Meanwhile, Penny is pretty much right behind Tavish, maybe about 15 feet out.

Deshti however is still 45 feet away, because their legs are short and stubby.

OOC > I need to know about the alley we are running through. Contents (boxes, rags, buckets, drunks?), exits (open ahead and behind, upcoming intersection(s), doors, ladders, ropes?), terrain (how high are the buildings on either side, are we flat out running or are we having to leap over stuff?). Pls Thx.

 Buildings are about 20 feet tall, there’s an opening ahead, probably a few places that one could exit. There are a few poles and boxes to the side, and some scatter into the way here, but it’s mostly clear. Pretty much think like your running through the gaps in an old-timey countryside town

As Tarvish closes in, Ormond whispers a quick prayer and makes a sign to his god (guidance)... hoping to hold his concentration to aid in his plan. 

Then he hears Tarvish cry out "Iron manacle" and curses in frustration....

// DEX Save 21 

Penny, racing up behind Tavish, is going to try to trip him. (Everyone is still running, right?)

OOC > Don't know what kind of roll is needed for that, so here's a d20: 11

Acrobatics add 5
Athletics add zero

They were coming to a stop, but I’ll allow it!

Tavish will resist it with his own Athletics! 10!

Just barely fails!

With Penny’s shove, he falls prone!

Ormond jumps off the running hippo, gold coins in hand, and shoves it into Tavish's chest, seeking a spot beneath his clothes and armor!

// Special melee attack... Attack: 14 Damage: 5 (1 + 4 for str)

// DM being super nice bonus allowing application of guidance Ormond was concentrating on earlier... 1.... So 15 total

Ormond, feeling no change, immediately does what he can to hold Tavish down and yells, "Get out of here you damn hippo!" 

(Is Deshi close yet?)

The tortle arrives on the scene with a hand held to their side, clearly not used to all of this rushing about. "Is there... *puff* anything that... *wheeze* Deshi can do??"

Ormond, struggling, somehow manages to shout out, "Run you damn tortoise! Channel the hare!" 

Roland turns around and slumps firmly down Ironsides feet. "Just press 'em down on his bare skin for a while. He'll pass out." He makes himself comfortable. 

Recharge: 3

"In for a Penny," Penny says to herself, grabbing a few gold coins (let's say three) from her pouch she jumps on the prone sheriff, also trying to hold him down, and shoving coins into contact with his skin.

Sleight of hand (to get the coins into a secure place): 13
Athletics! (to hold him down, too): 18

Alas, Penny can’t quite seem to get a hand in his shirt!

Athletics: 24 vs Roland

Athletics: 16 vs Penny

Tavish busts out from all of your grasps, as pillars of iron jut out of his back and propel him into the air before he lands in front of the group, “Enough! I’m taking all of ye in!”

He throws a fist into Ormond, Attack: 14 Damage: 11 Bludgeoning damage and one into Roland, Attack: 15 Damage: 9 Bludgeoning damage

Both of you feel like you’ve been slugged by a battering ram.

Penny lands awkwardly but gets right back to her feet as Tavish hammers Ormond and Roland, backing out of melee range. "Guess we should have run," she says under her breath.

"We don't want to hurt you, copper!" She says out loud. "We just want to go on our way! This town is doomed, there's a rupture coming and we all need to get out!" She waves her rolled up maps at him.

Action: Penny will take the Dodge Action this round.
Bonus Action: Disengage, if needed, to get out of melee range of Tavish.
