OOC:
I love old school D&D, live and die by the dice baby!
Thrudmarr watches with satisfaction as the remaining Darlings begin to back away. "Ha! Bossman not talk so much with no head!" He aims a wink back at the retreating Helga and extends a hand down to help Jacky up.
OOC:
Not pursuing unless the others do, but will interpose himself between them and Jacky should one of them send a spell or arrow their way.

Ella snatched her bow from the floor, and stood up, lining a couple of shots at the retreating Heliagaballus.
OOC:
I’m mostly concerned with him casting spells at us while falling back. In 5e parlance, I’d say she’s readying an action. But I guess depending on initiative she’ll shoot at him or not… we’ll have to see.

As the party’s rivals flee, Grim heaves deep dwarven Sigh of relief. I wasn’t sure I could take another hit, Grim discloses to his companions. The dwarven cletic brandishes his holy symbol, and once again utters words of self-ascribed healing.
OOC:
Cure Light Wounds on myself. Phew, lol

Jacky warily clambers to his feet, keeping an eye on the retreating Darlings. They'd be back for revenge, he had no doubt, but no help for it now! And he couldn't be too dismayed that Thrudmarr and Grim had sprung so fiercely to his defense.
OOC:
Not sure whether Jacky can get up and attack on the same round, but he'll aim at the mage too if it's doable.

Zach climbs wearily to his feet. While that was a beautiful strike, Thrustmore, we may just have made enemies of a larger and better supplied force. We need to be careful.

Darling’s Deathmatch - Round 2
As some of you are considering further attacks, let’s move to round 2. At the start of the round, everyone is still in melee range. The remaining Darlings are all planning to perform a Fighting Retreat. Those who can Parry will do so.

Grim’s Cure Light Wounds (with the existing roll of 7) will go off at the appropriate segment.

Please can someone roll for initiative …

Winning initiative, Jason, Helga, Heliagabulus, Isidor and Yvette all retreat through the secret door through which you both entered and close it behind them.

You may follow up if you wish to continue the melee. Otherwise, combat is over.

Ellagel Noredottir recovered her bow and stood up. She was pale, and beads of perspiration marked her visage.

"Quickly now, plunder the corpse and let us move on. They must not be given time to calm down and regroup! We must be far from here when their resolve is restored."
OOC:
Ella will help in the grisly work of going over Dalton's belongings, if it seems useful. But she is in panic mode, pretty sure that the other darlings will soon realise that they could exact revenge and plunder our corpses. She is, in particular, interested in finding Dalton's "exploration licence" and other papers the obnoxious leader of the darlings might've had on his person.

"Yes. And I wouldn't like to encounter those floating jelly things in this state either," Jacky says, rubbing his smarting cheek. That man had a mean hand. "Not back the way we came, though! We might walk straight into an ambush."
