The wolf and the werewolf flee!!!!!! Opportunity attacks! I don't care, who. Make this a moment for your character to shine. Be creative =P
Zukeila runs out of the cave, and stops dead in her tracks at the carnage you all have caused. She drops to her knees, head down, defeated. She doesn't even try. Her fate is in your hands.
Kia will let the wolf go, but isn't close enough to the fleeing werewolf to lash out.
Instead, she will stalk towards the defeated werewolf mother, claws out. The orange fur on her face, neck, and chest is gory with blood from the captive she... murdered. She looks about to do the same to the woman kneeling before the cave entrance.
"Those children!" she snarls as she marches up to the woman. "What were you doing with those children!"
Someone might want to stop her... or not.

Martha can’t actually do anything to damage the werewolf so she looks shocked with arms outstretched, “What!? C’mon! Get back here.” Before lowering her glaive like a bar before Kia and stepping in front of her. The light fades from her eyes and the inward light relents, “Now, Kia. I know you aren’t about to kill a surrendered foe.”
"Children? What children? What are you talking about Kia?" Briella calls out as she emerges from the trees. She lets the werewolf and wolf flee as they now seem to be no threat to the party now. Celty and Honey return to her side as well.
Kia snarls at Martha, but stops before her. "There are children caged in the cave, before an altar, and disfigured bodies, too. She was kneeling before the altar," she twitches towards the woman. "I lured her out with the book, lest she do them any desperate harm."
She looks Martha in the eyes, defiantly. "Someone should see to them."
“And they still stand there. Save lives before you take them. Salvation first, then retribution.” Martha answers sternly, matching the stare with a Mom Stare TM.
Grishkar allows the ladt werewolf to slip away with its pet; there were greater matters to attend to.
"Gather the werewolves in one place over there," he commands. Zombies shamble and begin dragging bodies into line about 20' from the mouth of the cave where the surrendered woman kneels. He stares between the growing crowd until he catches the eye of the den mother, "Witness the price of defying The Reaper and his chosen." Grishkar sets to work with arcane gestures and half-prayers to Nerrul. First is Kiril. At the incantation's close, Grishkar slams his dagger into the alpha-werewolf's chest. It seizes and sits upright, eyes glazed and devoid of life. In the next minute, Grishkar performs the same rite on two other werewolves and they reawaken with a spasm to their unholy fate.
With a smile back to the captive, Grishkar spreads his arms across his undead congregation, "You are Blessed with Unlife and The Hater of Life smiles upon you. Come now and be the Harbingers of Death."

The tabaxi locks eyes with Martha, but after a tense few moments, she lowers them, and her body relaxes.
Except for her tail. In a flash she ducks under the glaive and dashes to Zukeila...
Not sure what is needed here, so this is a straight up Dex check to avoid Martha's likely grapple attempt: 20 Or, here is an acrobatics check, in case that is the more relevant: 10 Crispy? Which would I use, and what would Martha have to roll in opposition?

Briella moves away from the unholy sight, feeling a chill run down her spine, and opts to head into the cave to look for the children Kia mentioned. "Honey stay out here, keep an eye on him." She whispers down to the badger. The animal turns and lets out a small hiss at the necromancer, but doesn't move. The other two animals will follow Briella into the cave.
Grishkar was about to address the others when Kia made her move. In a twist, the monk was actually opting to kill a captive! The wizard's hopes faded somewhat when he saw Martha lock down the tabaxi's advance. With a sigh, Grishkar strolls up to the others, "Now, onto more pressing matters: Where is the tome?"

As Martha is wrestling Kia, she gives that same “What!? Really!? C’mon!” facial expression that she gave the fleeing werewolf to Briella. Looking back down to Kia, she shouts, “What do you accomplish with this! Why kill her right now?”

OOC: Sorry I was trying posting her movement before you two got in a fight but with everyone posting at once I got a little mixed up. Briella was technically leaving before you both got in a fight so she wouldn't have seen it.
OOC > Whether Kia gets past Martha or not, the conversation is the same, so I'm going to proceed. We'll let Crispy decide if the conversation is held in a wrestling match or with Kia's claws at Zukeila's throat.
"This creature is evil!" the tabaxi shouts. "You stopped me from killing him in the forest," she points a claw to Odmun, "because he was ensorcelled, and not the creature he seems. Why this one? My guide expects me to end the evil I find! Does yours not? Do you not do your duty?! What reason should stop me?"

Oh this is good.
Zukeila, knowing when she is beaten, only has a surrendered look to her. She knows to fight you all would be futile.
I'll let you all talk this out. I'll interject as the situation sees fit.
Because Kia got the tome, level up, please.
OOC: oooo Snapple lvl up Kitty!
