Lia looks in surprise at the sight of Jack and a cultist falling around the corner. She shakes her head as she hears shouting up ahead." We must silence them before the whole fort is upon us." Eyeing the grease Lia tries to keep her footing as she passes through. . She readies her wand and will send a lightning bolt at any of the cultists. Fleeing. Lia will try to catch more than one if possible.
Fay runs along with Oswald towards the sound of the commotion. "I'll race ya there," he says with a wicked grin as manages to gain a half a step. The he sees the scene in front of him and slows a hair, allowing Oswald to gain the step back and more. He sees the cultist on his back but moving and all his companions running past him, "Will one of ye not finish off that one on his back begging fer death?" You yell to make sure someone in the group actually attacks the downed cultist. Just then he sees Velon strike a blow and then look back at Fay with a bit of a smile on his face.

Round One
Jack, Poljen, Cratol, and Zarra race around the corner to engage the cultists, with their companions trailing behind.
One of the men is standing and fiddling with a flat stone when Jack rams his blade into his side. Poljen reaches the scene in time to finish off the wounded man, and the stone goes clattering across the floor.
Cratol and Zarra each wound a man, as the other cultists try to form a defensive line.
Back in the Hall, Velon rams a fiery blade into the largely helpless man before him, and moves on towards the corner.
[most other party members would not be able to reach the corner with an action left over. You'll be able to act next round though.]
Jack dashes towards the stone to snatch it up, while trying to step away from the fray and make sure no reinforcements are on their way.
' Hhharh that was feckin priceless me lad! Ye gave em feckless dog sons a wee bit of ye ol' moonin', did ye noo ? Hhaawarh, by all the sea-chanties, t' was one fer the books, it was! ', the soul of seaman Barley commented gleefully from his magic ring, as the rogue tried hard to focus on keeping the area secure.
"Aye, that was a real heroic deed, Fay will be singing of my shining buttocks through the Kingdoms of Faerun, now hush and let me concentrate, old geezer! ", the Amber Coat replied dryly, still bristling with the recent humiliation.
Jharen "Amber Jack" Korvac shook his head, wondering if the boon of his magic ring was really worth the trouble of having to deal with the soul of the constantly drunk sailor stubbornly trapped inside it, as he edged away from the battle and made a quick but careful beeline towards the northern end of the passage, worried that the battle may have attracted more guards.
Catching Oswald and Fay running into the fray from the far side, he waved at his partner and the flamboyant bard, signaling them to follow him toward the tunnel's exit:
"More scouts with me here, we'll keep the north secure while the others finish up ", he signaled to Deepshadow using Thieves Cant.
Finally, skulking away from the confusion of the clash of various weapons, the rogue took the time to elbow one of the guards in the ribs as the man was busy dodging one of Cratol's fists, shoving him right into the oncoming path of Zarra's steel bolt.
Out of Character:
Cunning Action to disengage if need be;
Help action for Zarra if possible;
Hides in Shadows again (Or at least TRIES to… *sic*) and moves to BF33 to see if any more men are coming.

Seeing Jack try to step back with the stone, Poljen trades places with him and begins hacking into the cultists with abandon.
Out of Character: : If he can attack the wounded one first, he will. If that finishes off that one, he will then attack the next nearest. Attacks are Reckless…
