"mmm hmm. Trap or diversion- I heard 'It worked' as they fled." He tosses Delirious the ear, and cuts the second off, on the way around the back of the mill- Tar pokes his head around windows to see if anything is burning inside or if the fires were only set around the mill. Perception 21
Horkhen peers into a window on the way by as Lyria starts back and (we'll say for the sake of brevity that you all put out the rest of the fires. The mill is about 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, with an attached, exterior office. The long side of the building away from the stream has barn doors and a two-part door, and the two short walls have windows. All these openings are closed. Inside, the main floor is dominated by a massive stone grinding wheel driven by a water wheel in the stream. The mill must have been operating late when the raid began and the millers fled without disengaging the wheel, so it still turns noisily. The upper half of the barn is a loft where milled flour is stored. The loft can be reached by wooden stairs along the east wall or by using the ropes and pulleys that hoist bags of flour up and down through large openings in the loft floor.
...Which is exactly what several people in cultist robes and others in armor are doing: dropping down from the loft and pouring out of the front side of the mill. They spread out and peel off to the tune of one cultist and one armored mercenary per each one of you, like a planned strike. Fortunately for you, none of them have their actions left to attack since they all dashed to you.
Go ahead and take your turns assuming Hordkhen, Kod, Place' and Potato are adjacent to two enemies, 1 cultist, and 1 merc, and Lyria and Delirious each have 1 of each running at them.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tar snarls ..."Sellswords?! If they didn't pay up front there's still time to-" ...he lunges at the closest assailant "switch sides and take your share from their corpses!"
Hordkhen's longsword finds its mark in a cultist's chest. The skewered dragon worshiper falls and slides off the bloody blade to the ground.
Delirious misses, his arrow goes between the two assailants. He backs up a few paces for good measure.
Lyria rushes back to meet her two pursuers and blasts radiantly at them. CON Saves: 14 / 15 . Both of them resist the radiance and look ready to strike.
Potato slashes but his blade clangs off the merc's shield.
Place' chomps at the air, probably distracted by his thoughts of war theory and how he should've stayed in the safety of the keep. This was a fool's errand and he knew it from the start!
Kod successfully bisects a cultist across the midriff. The two halves topple to the ground, both making equally disturbing noises.
Three of the four cultists are adjacent to their marks and swing scimitars at them, the other dashes to Delirious and is now in melee with him. vs. Lyria: Attack: 23 Damage: 4 Maximum effort, until it came time to do damage. Noted on your sheet. vs. Potato: Attack: 13 Damage: 2 Potato dodges the blow by arching backwards and then sitting back up after the blade passes. vs. Place': Attack: 4 Damage: 6 He was distracted by your distraction.
Hordkhen hits with his learned fighting maneuver. The merc takes it in the shoulder and winces but is still in the fight.
That mercenary replies to Hordkhen, "We're getting a share of the loot, I doubt you can do better than that." The mercenaries attack five of you with their spears from behind their shileds, the sixth one closes on Delirious. vs. Hordkhen: Attack: 14 Damage: 5 Clang! No damage. vs. Kod: Attack: 20 Damage: 2 Hit! Damage applied. vs. Lyria: Attack: 20 Damage: 6 Just gets into a fold in your armor, damage applied. vs. Place-wolf: Attack: 17 Damage: 7 Stabbed! Your wolf form has 1 HP left. vs. Potato: Attack: 11 Damage: 2 Dodgy little kobold.
Delirious, Lyria, Potato, Place', and Kod are up.

Potato screams with all the fury of girl-scout protecting her baked goods. His little kobold muscles grow taut, his rage a visible fire in his eyes. He stands atop the wolf's back and reaches for the ear of the merc in front of them, attempting to grapple his face.
Lao Tzu calls this formation "Florida lizard dangling from ear" 18
Delirious swings his war pick and slashes across the merc's cheek.
Lyria blasts radiant again. CON Saves: 10 / 5 They each take 1 damage.
Potato lunges for the ear of his foe. He tries to not have a kobold hanging from his ear. 21 But he fails, there is a kobold on his face.
Place'-wolf successfully wraps his jaws around a mercenary's leg and tries to pull his leg from under him. 16 The merc stays stable with his other leg.
Kod connects with his axe and cuts the merc deep but he still stands.
The cultists attack their targets: Delirious: Attack: 12 Damage: 3 Miss! Place': Attack: 19 Damage: 4 Place's wolf form fades as it loses it's last point of health. Potato: Attack: 16 Damage: 6 Hit, reduced to 2 from rage. Lyria: Attack: 12 Damage: 3 HIt, at 2 HP.
"Back to the keep!"
HOOOOOWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL as Plåcě tears apart another kobold grrrrrrrrrr Points at the last 2 fires runs over to a flame

Lives are more important than things. Anymore time sunk into this is time they've successfully diverted. I run/ dash back to the secret keep entrance.
