Neya hops in front of Yalek and throws a punch. The half-orc raises his forearm to block but fails to see Neya's leg simultaneously already sweeping his own. Yalek falls to the ground, hitting his head and losing consciousness. (Yalek takes 11 bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED non-lethally.)
Neya does not stay put to celebrate. She easily catches up to Chaab, cutting off his path {FC-19}. As she overcomes him, the monk delivers a kidney shot. (Chaab takes 8 magical bludgeoning damage.)
The painful strikes causes Chaab to lose concentration on Faerie Fire.
The Black Fist officer raises another arrow and looks intently at Aleyd:"You have much to answer to, Aleyd. I suggest you put your arms down and surrender. Tell your accomplices to surrender. We'll have a long conversation back at the Stojanow Gate."
Aleyd responds: "You have been waiting for a chance to undermine me for quite some time, Cron. I will not deliver that to you so easily. I suggest you stand down and retreat. Otherwise, this may not end well for you and yours."
Cron shoots, though he is only able to release one arrow this time:
Moneus turns to face the soldiers who have begun to invade the bedroom. As he moves closer to the south wall, he throws two more of the magical knives produced by his bracers. Trying to break their formation, he aims for the second soldier in the line:
-> Flying Knife vs Soldier#8 {EV-15}: Attack: 27 Damage: 6
-> Flying Knife vs Soldier#8 {EV-15}: Attack: 24 Damage: 6
It takes two thrown knives to the knee to bring this soldier down, but the tiefling is successful. (Soldier#8 {EV-15} takes 12 magical piercing damage and is DEFEATED non-lethally.)
Moneus then hides behind the armoire {EW-11} (stealth: 30.)
Graxx takes a deep breath and leaps out of the window.
-> Fall damage (I'm adding a second d6 to account for the additional momentum): 7
The impact hurts Graxx's knees a bit, but he safely clears Doozey and Yalek {EZ-13}. Quickly locating Neya, Chaab, and Senetir, Graxx then sprints to not only catch up to the drow elf but also cut off his escape {FC-25}. (Graxx takes 7 bludgeoning damage.)
Chaab reveals yet another card up his sleeve, slipping by the barbarian and adding a little extra distance between the two {EZ-27} (using his reaction).
The Brokengulf Soldiers move further into the room, reforming the formation that Moneus had temporarily disturbed. They all attack Utar, the first enemy they see on the other side of the door:
Utar expertly blocks the attacks with his shield and heavy armor, but one of the slashes still manages to catch his left thigh. (Utar takes 4 slashing damage.)
On the lookout for injured companions, Litta leans over Utar's shoulder and spots a fallen Biscuit. She prepares another Healing Word, praying a little extra this time.
Although still prone, Biscuit opens his eyes showing that he is no longer unconscious (or incapacitated). His latest spear wound is almost fully healed. (Biscuit heals for 7 HP.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Flying in place, Senetir drops a heavy pouch. He allows it to travel straight down for a second or two and then envelops it in magic. The heavy, full-to-the-brim pouch rapidly changes trajectory, shooting like a projectile towards Neya.
-> Neya's DEX saving throw {DC 16}: 10
The pouch hits the ground right in front of the monk, bursting open and scattering dozens of platinum coins in her vicinity.
(Doozey, Aleyd, and Utar are up next. Utar is in melee with three soldiers, which are located at {EV-13}, {EV-14}, and {EV-15}.)
With Yalek at least temporarily out of the picture, Doozey peers about the corner to lock eyes on Senetir. Budding righteous anger turns into concern if he no longer sees the boy in the avian's claws. Yet this only lasts a moment before his gaze hardens into one of determination. In a quick word in Sylvan that sounded more like wind passing through forest leaves, an a large avatar reminiscent this time of Taters appears before him.
"One thing at a time,"He murmurs, while hurriedly popping out from a kit some heavily diluted potion mixed with some stimulants and other ingredients to help dual the ache of his wounds. And while tempted to give chase after the others, seeing them handle Chaab, Doozey divides his own attention between peeking around at Senetir and that of Yalek's fallen form.
Biscuit awakens shaking his head and looking a little dazed... up until it lays eyes on the guard that last stabbed him. Growling and crouching, the beast had to have been moments away from mauling the guard quite possible to death in vengeance before noticing a missing halfling. After a few sniffs in the air and sneeze, Biscuit goes back to uncertainly growling at the guard while maneuvering(if possible) around to put himself between the Blackfist Guard and Brokengulf's forces.
Bonus Action(Doozey): Cast (2nd level)Healing Spirit at EX-15.
Action/Free Action(Doozey): Pull out Healer's Kit and using Healer's Healing on Self, restoring 16 HP.
Movement(Doozey): To EX-15, healing from HS for 4.
Standing his ground against the soldiers a slight shimmer settles on Utar as he casts shield of faith. Taking a little evasive action of his own ( dodge) Utar can't help let but berate the soldiers for their inability to actually think for themselves.
Doozey prepares a healing corner with the help of a spectral Taters after taking stock of all the individuals in the area. As he moves, he self-administers a "heavily diluted potion mixed with some stimulants and other ingredients to help dull the ache of his wounds". He follows that up with a nudge into the healing corner and sees the combined effects restore some of his vitality. (Doozey heals for 20 HP.)
Still inside, Biscuit takes a moment to stand up, look around, sniff the air, and block the path of the slowest moving Black Fist Guard. For now, however, the magical mastiff maintains his defensive posture.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Alyed maintains her position blocking the path of the enemies approaching from the north. She looks at Biscuit and yells in a commanding voice: "Go dog! Get out of here. Jump through a window. Lead them away!" She then hacks at the nearest Brokengulf Soldier's legs:
Several boots can be heard crossing the first floor foyer. The front door of the mansion opens and several more Bronkengulf Soldiers appear at the scene.
The red tiefling also comes outside through the front door {EY-17}, though he can do little else for the moment except for looking around, spotting Senetir, and yelling a question: "Senetir, what is happening? Who is the assassin you pointed your finger at? Certainly not the several heavily-armored individuals I've seen. What assassin works in a group of almost ten people and brings a horned dog with them?"
Senetir briefly responds in an accusatory tone: "Do away wiph any doubt, Ekmong, and look at it yourself."He points at Neya, who is surrounded by platinum coins: "One of phem just dropped pheir purse for carrying out phe assassination!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Neya ignores Senetir's strained accusation, and the dozens of high-value coins, and closing the distance to Chaab, and even overtaking him (to EZ-28). She starts throwing more attacks at him.
(@Drache: I assume this continue to be non-lethal attacks. Feel free to correct me.)
Neya ignores all the new distractions surrounding her and beelines for Chaab. Running out of tricks, the drow elf can do little to avoid the two quick jabs delivered to his cheekbone. By the time Neya tries to follow up with a front kick, Chaab is already falling. (Chaab takes 17 magical bludgeoning damage and is DEFEATED non-lethally.)
Cron, the Black Fist Officer, yells back at Aleyd: "At a minimum you are guilty of breaking and entering a noble's home. Surrender now, Aleyd!" Once again, he is only able to release a single arrow at his fellow Black Fist:
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
From his hidden spot, Moneus tries to incapacitate the soldier who is closest to Litta. After revealing his position, he asks Utar: "Should we start making our way out of this room?"
-> Flying Knife vs Soldier#2 {EV-13}: Attack: 14 Damage: 7
-> Flying Knife vs Soldier#2 {EV-13}: Attack: 23Damage: 7
-> That first roll is supposed to get Sneak Attack damage: 20
The soldier drops after the two temporary knives cause his left knee to fail. (Soldier#2 {EV-13} takes 18 magical piercing damage and is DEFEATEDnon-lethally.)
While he waits for Utar's response, Moneus moves {EV-10} and hides (stealth: 21.)

Chaab curses upon being cut off by Neya and weaves some arcane words into it:
-> Neya's CON saving throw vs. Levitate {DC 14}: 17
The monk resists the spell, forcing the drow elf to instead spin on his feet and continue running east {FC-24}.
(Graxx is up next.)
(OOC: Not sure how much movement it takes to leap out and over people going out the window so wasn't sure exactly which square on the map to select.
Graxx growls and leaps out the window!
Graxx sees Yalek downed and is satisfied. He sees Neya looking toward the fleeing Chaab.
"DROW THE TIME HAS COME!" Graxx roars as uses his remaining movement to run down Chaab.
Graxx will dash to get as close as he can to Chaab.
Graxx takes a deep breath and leaps out of the window.
-> Fall damage (I'm adding a second d6 to account for the additional momentum): 7

The soldier almost breaks, but manages to remain standing after the holy slash (Soldier#9 {EV-15} takes 14 magical slashing and radiant damage.)
Aleyd refreshes Sanctuary on herself.
Utar also beefs up his defenses. He does so both magically by creating a floating ethereal mantle which envelops him, and in a more traditional way by raising his shield high.
Several boots can be heard crossing the first floor foyer. The front door of the mansion opens and several more Bronkengulf Soldiers appear at the scene.
