Nova was focused, zoned in on the sound of the skeleton before her, that she was unaware of anything else. After successfully dodging another attack, she would use the momentum to launch herself forward. She'd attack with her blades in a cross slash against the pile of bones.
Your first strike against the skeleton Nova, looks like it’s going to strike it and at the moment before impact it turns to avoid the fire bolt from Cadence and it bounces harmlessly off the bits of armor it’s wearing. However, with your second strike manages to find the spinal column thanks to the turn from the skeleton and it drops to the stone floor in a heap of bones, armor, and weapons.
With the immediate threats dealt with, you look around in the hallway and see a door at the end of it, about 15 feet from you, on the East side of the hallway.
With the clambering of the bones hitting the ground, Nova would snap out of her battle focus. “Ou bones.” She’d grab one off the pile and put it aside for Boris. Taking a look around she’d finally clue in, there was a presence missing. Wasn’t Velda right behind me? I would have sworn... Her head would look side to side. Then her ears would twitch. Velda? Nova would move back to the other room.
As Fionn peeks in, he sees a row of bars and a few huddled figures inside. A cough. Then nothing. It's still. Very quiet. One of the figures begins to vocalize a bit with a rough voice, and there's a muffled thud and some clinking as another figure seems to hit the first, which quiets.
Suddenly, a muted flash of silvery mist flashes around a third figure behind the bars, which disappears. For a second. Then reappears, much closer, to the side of the door. Slender limbs straining. Pale blue hair flying. A thick iron collar with a chain. Struggling, a fight, but oddly awkward, no one winning on points. Swearing. Almost instantaneous. Then, a quick resolution, the form stepping back to shift balance with a sword now in her hands. The light catches her better and you can see an elf, pale yellow skin, blue hair settling, grey eyes fierce and hungry. The sword darts forward in a vicious, soundless motion, not at the door, not at the cleric, but at some other target, immediately to the right of the doorframe. "RAAHHH!"
Attack: 25 Damage: 13 plus 4 sneak attack damage (second roll doubled sneak attack damage: 6)
Rathe reverse grips the short sword and basically just does a downward chop into the back of his neck, slipping it between vertebrae. It's decisive.
Startled by the sudden movement and a scream nearby, the ruffian on the north side of the door takes his first swing at Fionn as he walks through the door and jerks his sword up at a weird angle and it hits the door frame. Taking a brief moment to adjust manages to bring his sword quickly back down catching Fionn on his left arm, right near the bicep.
Seeing Fionn get hurt, Velda, still in an almost trance like state, screams: "Nooo!" Pain, Hurt, Anger, Rage and Despair all mingle as she hacks at the ruffian.
8 for 8 slashing damage.

The ruffian is startled by Velda loud outburst and sudden moves towards him. Expecting some form of attack is able to deflect her strike away from himself as Veldas sword clangs against the iron bars. A slight ringing sound is heard for a few moments afterwards.
Out of the corner of his eye, sees in his peripheral vision Fionn’s mace headed straight for his head. The ruffian manages to duck just in time as the mace thuds against the stone wall behind.
Righting himself and standing back up he’s caught off guard by a small fire bolt as it hits him in the chest and burns a small hole in his arm. Leaving behind burn mark on his chest.

Focusing on the individual that nearly got him in the head with a mace, the ruffian slashes across Fionn’s chest, leaving a decent sized gash from shoulder to waist. Seeing Fionn stagger from the blow, brings the blade back around for a second strike making a nice x shape against his chest as Fionn collapses on the cold stone floor.

From the other room, Nova's ears would twitch from all the shouting, crying out and screams. Everyone had piled into the other room and she was catching only glimpses of what was going on. One thing was for sure, she could smell blood. With more to come. Through the doorway the half-elf catches the ruffian take Fionn down with two merciless slashes. "Holy cannoli!" She'd gasp before letting out an exasperated sigh.
Nova would take Every. long, Single. firm, Time. determined, I'm. strides. Behind. Positioning herself behind within range of the foe that stood over Fionn's unconscious body. With both scimitars gripped firmly in hand, the half-elf would lunge, aiming to drive them up through his sides. "Enough!" He stood between her and helping her friends.

Rathe watches this new group of people file into the room in a bouquet of violence -- they had served as a distraction for her to be able to take down one of her captors with an attack that surprised even her.
The burst was hard to track, but she kept her eyes on her second quarry, and dived low, trying to hide behind one of her new friends, seeking an opening while he was distracted by the fighting and falling bodies around him. The shortsword she'd purloined worked adequately.
Nova rushes into the slave pens, standing over Fionn’s seemingly lifeless body and lunges toward the ruffian. Seeing her lungs forward with two blades in hand, tries to sidestep out of the way of both blades and misjudged location of them. Catching one of the blades on his side.
With his attention fully on Nova, Rathe is able to maneuver out of his line of sight. Watching Novas lunge and the ruffians side step, strikes just after the ruffians sidestep. Straight into his chest. You hear him gasp, “Tell my kids I ...” as he collapses to the ground.
From the north cell you hear a meek voice say, “Are you folks gonna hurt us too?” Turning to the source you see a small boy looking at you all with large pleading eyes. Meanwhile Fionn slips closer to eternal sleep.
Nova would immediately snap her attention to Fionn, kneeling by him. “I’m here now...” She’d pull his head into her lap as she’d take a seat. She’d access her healers kit and begin her treatments. Similar to other times, she’d shove some herbs in her mouth to work on a poultice as she’d ready bandages. She’d begin with stabilizing him before moving on to mend his wounds.

Fionn is now stable and will regain consciousness in 1 hours without further aid.
