Moving towards the guard I call out to them, “I’m the one you want to focus on. I’m armed as you can plainly see” (BA: Help so Parker can get advantage on his athletics roll if he didn’t already roll with advantage.)

Having closed the distance with the guard I’ll strike at him with my shortsword.

Attack: 22 Damage: 9

Sneak attack: 5

 (I would prefer to subdue, but since he’s seen us I suppose it’s safer to knock him out. But then again they already know Parker is up to no good so 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Parker, as you approach the guard, trying to get your chains around their neck, they quickly sidestep you and focus on the more pressing threat, posed by Dart. They move quickly, but not quickly enough, as Dart manages to place a long cut on the outside of their thigh, taking advantage of the temporary confusion. Seeing you both fight the guard up close, Dagmar stays back and takes aim with his crossbow, taking care not to hit any of you. Seeing his hesitancy, the guard bobs and weaves between you, and the shot goes wide.

 Seeing that they are outnumbered, the guard draws their shortsword with the left hand and manoeuvres their back towards the stairs, keeping you all in sight, before shouting: "Help! The prisoners are trying to escape!". For now, you see or hear no immediate reaction.

 Murph, you are up!

Murph was considering trying to charm this person but after the fight begins, he sees that would be difficult. He quickly tries to shocking grasp the guard, almost magnetically homing in on the metal in his armor despite his dodging. 

Melee Spell Attack: 12 Damage: 1

He tries to circle around behind the guard, getting in the way of his escape back up the stairs.

Murph, as you attempt to touch the guard, they quickly move out of the way, as your hand grasps at air. Being of small stature though, you manage to weave around the guard and get in behind them,  blocking off their retreat.

With that, Dart and Parker are back up, with Dagmar taking his action after you, unless someone has specific instructions for him.

Not having anything specific instructions for Dagmar I leave him to his own devices. “I’m the one you want to be worried about here.” (BA help for whoever attacks next) 

Continuing my assault I swing at the guard trying to render him unconscious.

 Attack: 22 Damage: 8

Sneak if applicable: 3

 Here’s an extra attack roll in case their was advantage/disadvantage 21

Blair lifts herself to kneel at full height, her emerald eyes scan the audience to drink in their enthusiasm. What was a hint of a smirk twitched and grew three sizes, into a full wry smile as they'd clammour for an encore.

The redhead would close her eyes and bring up a hand to place over the left side of her chest. "I took an arrow to the heart." She'd lift her hand and pat her chest as if mimicking a heartbeat, beginning a beat. "I never kissed a mouth that tastes like yours. Strawberries and somethin' more." She'd open her eyes. "Ooh yeah, I want it all." And rise to her feet.

Blair would start stepping forward, "Lipstick on my collar" She'd adjust her attire near her neck then reach forward to hold out her borrowed flask, giving it a little shake towards someone and wait for them to fill it. "Fill up the flask," She'd wink and continue padding along the crowd. Eyes locking on one of the superior officers, the dancer would crook her finger to pick them out. "We can run real far." Closing the gap, she'd slip her hand in theirs with an enticing smile. "Go dancin' underneath the stars." She'd playfully tug them with her to centre stage. "Ooh yeah, I want it all."

The dancer spins and lifts a leg high, hooking her boot heel on the 'volunteer's' shoulder. "Mm, you got me feelin' like-" And she presses down, pushing the officer to take a seat just as a halfling sets a chair down in time for them. "I wanna be that girl," She runs her hands from their knees up, "I wanna kiss your thighs" Then runs a hand up their torso. "I wanna drink that smile," Her finger traces up their neck, along their jaw line and lifting their chin "I wanna feel like-" She'd let go to step back.

Blair would step spin, scuffing her heel against the ground to cast a spark. It'd light up a trail of fire. "Like my soul's on fire," She'd bring her arms back into her body to hug herself as she'd step out of her spin, "I wanna stay up all day and all night." Scoop up her staff and light it in one smooth transition. "Yeah, you got me singin' like," She begins twirling it as she steps back towards her seated 'subject'. "Ooh, I love it when you do it like that." Blair would spin slow circles around them and when she'd come back around in front of them, she'd position herself between their legs, facing away. "And when you're close up," She'd lean back to lower herself close to them and shimmy her shoulders, "you give me the shivers."

Then she'd stand back upright, spinning the flaming staff over her head, "Oh baby, you wanna dance," She'd bring the staff spinning in front of her, "'til the sunlight cracks" Then turns herself to face the officer in their seat, spinning the staff at her back. "And when they say the party's over," Blair lifts her leg once more, placing her heel on the back of the chair, pushing on it to tilt it back. "Then we'll bring it right back." She'd unhook her heel to release the chair, having it abruptly rock forward back on all fours, now resting her leg over the volunteers shoulder and the back of the chair. "And we'll say, ooh, I love it when you do it like that." She'd smirk leaning forward to close the gap further, now spinning the staff high above their heads, "And when you're close up, give me the shivers." She'd shimmy again.

"Oh baby," Blair unhooks her leg and throws it up over their head, turning herself and bring her foot down to the ground on the other side of their leg, now facing away. "You wanna dance 'til the sunlight cracks." She bends forward spinning the staff ahead of her. "And when they say the party's over," She'd start to straighten up, peeking over her shoulder. "Then we'll bring it right back." Smack. The redhead slaps her rear.

Blair begins to strut away, "Leaving the bar," She’d snuff out the flame on her staff creating a smokescreen, only to circle back to the officer, “On the quiet beach in the moonlit dark,” And straddles them, sitting in their lap. “Wrap me up between your legs and arms.” She’d lean closer to press her body against theirs, “Ooh, I can't get enough.” The redhead adjusts the officers uniform, “You know you could tear me apart.” Emerald eyes flick up to meet theirs, “Put me back together and take my heart.” She’d trace fingers down their attire. “I never thought that I could love this hard.” Blair would begin to lean her torso back until she was stretched out to the floor. “Ooh, I can't get enough.” 

“Mm!” She pushes off, “You got me feeling like,” Lifts her legs into the air for a forearm stand, “I wanna be that girl,” Parts her legs into a split, “I wanna kiss your thighs” Then lowers herself back down onto her chest and stomach. “I wanna drink that smile,“ She’d peel herself up off the floor. “I wanna feel like I'm-“ The red head would take hold of her staff and throw herself into an enthusiastic spin. She scuffs her heel on the floor once again, sparking up a flame, “Like my soul's on fire,” And follows through with striking her staff, ”I wanna stay up all day and all night” The ends on fire.

“Yeah, you got me singin' like-“ Blair would step into a spin, “Ooh, I love it when you do it like that” Twirling her staff at a faster speed, “And when you're close up, give me the shivers,” She’d lean back and shimmy “Oh baby, you wanna dance 'til the sunlight cracks,” She flicks her staff up into the air, “And when they say the party's over,” Transitions into another step spin, ”then we'll bring it right back” Catching her staff over her head before bringing it down to strike the ground.

“Baby, you burn so hot,” Flames erupt in a circle around her and the seated officer. “You make me shiver with the fire you got,” The dancer prowls towards them, “This thing we started,” Emerald eyes lock on them once again, ”I don't want it to stop.” She spins and dips leaning forward facing them, “You know you make me shiver.” Another shimmy. “Yeah, you got me singin' like” Blair back steps out into another spin, “Ooh, I love it when you do it like that” Twirling the staff over her head as she comes to a stop facing away from her volunteer, “And when you're close up,” She bends forward, away from them, “Give me the shivers.” And shimmies her hips.

“Oh baby,” The dancer drops low, to come back up slowly, ”You wanna dance 'til the sunlight cracks.” She slams her staff down, extinguishing it. “And when they say the party's over,” Blair lowers herself down onto the officer’s lap, “Then we'll bring it right back.” And sits back, draping herself along the officer’s torso.

Seeing red and focusing directly on his target Parker swings the chain at his face. 

.Attack: 9 Damage: 6

Dart lands a blow that briefly winds the guard, as the halfling dodges below the guard's parry. In his exhausted state, Parker is no match for the guard though, and they try to raise the alarm again, with a bellowing cry.

 Seeing as he is now surrounded on all sides, the guard slashes at Dart with his longsword. "I'll gut ya like a fish for this!" In the cramped conditions of the dungoen though, the longsword is more of a hindrance, and Dart dodges both attacks. With a desperate grunt, the guard launches a strike with the shortsword in his offhand, trying to land a hit on the halfling somehow. The shortsword, being nimbler in this tight space, does eventually land a hit as after a bit of fancy footwork, Dart puts too much weight on his foreleg, which the guard exploits with a quick drawcut on the calf (4 slashing damage).

Dagmar meanwhile hs started to run further down the corridor, leaving you two to deal with the guard here.

 Blair, your performance is met with racuous applaus, whistles and hoots. By now, the room is packed full with soldiers and officers, and the crowd makes so much noise that it's very unlikely that anyone in the barracks or above is hearing anything else- and most of them are likely wanting to join to see what's going on.

Murph tries again to land a shocking grasp on the guard:

Attack: 11 Damage: 5

With his bonus action he tries to hide a few steps around the corner down the rocky hall where the guard emerged. 

Stealth: 23

Murph, you manage to land your attack, and the electric spasm causes the guard to drop his short sword, giving you an opportunity to duck out of the way and try to blend in with the stone walls of the dungeon.

Dart and Parker, we're back up to you!

Blair would cross her leg over the other to make a show of getting comfortable on the Superior Officer's lap. "Who's fired up!" She'd purr, raising her arms in the air and motioning with her hands to encourage them to agree. "I could use a little something to wet my whistle. Now how about you?" She'd wink, calling for another round of drinks and to maybe accidentally spill a little on her.

The soldiers and officers are hooting and hollering, all wanting to get a drink or a piece of the dancer. Like the professional performer that she is, Blair flirts with the men and women, keeing their interest and attention and consciously playing with the more adventurous, sharing a laugh on their behalf with the rest of the room. Following your lead, the gnomes have started sharing out ales and spirits and collecting a hefty margin, while you had their attention. In the center of the room, you see your Flame, who you leveraged into allowing this. While you can tell that she doesn't like the fact that she's been put into this position, you and her both know that you know how to command a room, and at this moment, her consternation seems to be far from her mind, as she is clearly enjoying your show.

Parker clasps both hands together. Letting the chain swing. Swings both hands to the guards face

Attack: 5 Damage: 4     due to chain

Hit or miss he will lunge into the guard with his shoulder trying to knock him off balance

I wince as the blade catches my calf and quickly look down to assess how bad the wound is. While looking at the wound, I hear a crackling sound. Followed by an outburst of pain from the guard. I hear something clatter to the ground. Assuming it’s one of the guards weapons I’ll stoop quickly to collect it.

Seeing red from having been injured I’ll slash at the guard with both shortswords.

Action Attack: 10 Damage: 9

BA: Attack: 7 Damage: 3

Sneak: 9

The guard before you is heavily armoured, and although your blows connect, you doubt that they left more than a bruise. When Parker swings his chains, the guard grabs them and yanks hard on them. At the same time, they lash out twice at Dart with their longsword, gritting their teeth when their shortsword is picked up by the halfling and now gripping the sword with both hands for extra leverage. The sudden shift in technique catches you off-guard, and the blade carves a bloody furrow allong your right side (5 slashing damage), but you are ready for the second blow and dodge it by a hair's breadth.

Parker, please give me a Str save, DC 16, or Parker will fall prone.

 From further down the corridor, you hear the heavy clanking of a lock, followed shortly after by Dagmar's shout: "We got'er! Come on now!"

Murph, you see the slumped figure of a female gnome covered in lacerations and bruises cradeled in Dagmar's strong arms, being carried out. It's your turn!

Strength save 8

Parker, you stumble but manage to keep your footing and wrest the chain from the guard's hands. 

Murph tries to knock out the guard, given his new position behind the guard. He pulls out a dagger and a utilitarian handaxe.

Dagger attack: 22 Damage: 7 (if adv from flanking: 22 )
Offhand handaxe attack: 3 Damage: 6 (if adv from flanking  19 )

Sneak attack: 9

Is there a way he could position a sleep spell and get only the guard? Or at least not Parker? Assuming not...

Harried from all sides, the guard struggles to keep his defence up, and Murph manages to puncture the guard's armour just below his shoulder blade. The guard looks severely hurt, but manages to block the axe strike and -is now placing his back against the wall to keep all attackers in his field of vision.

 WIth that, Dart and Parker, you're up!

Parker feints then gives a kick between the guards legs

Attack: 18 Damage: 4

Then Cunning action: disengage. and moves full movement to where the stranger carrying the gnome went

Int check: 22
