initiative: 1!  And because it's the DCC dice from my lankhmar kickstarter (iirc) it came up "c".

Kondor easily kills the beast rifling through the fallen sorcerer's robes, covering the unconscious pyromancer in a shower of crimson blood! But the 2nd beast wriggles away and retakes his fighting stance.

And the 2 new drop ins step forward as well. 

And the 3 charge in unison. Kondor defends himself against the left 4!, and the right 8! 
leaving his centerline unguarded against a 20!  -7HP

Kondor +105 XP!

The barbarian gives a quick glance out the door for Gundrabu!!!

ooc:  Working on it!
Dice: I don't believe I have those. I technically started in 2e, despite the moathouse being my first game. Were they actually made of crystal?

Init: 1!
attack: 18(!)+3=21!
damage: 6+3=9!

Kondor uses the fallen bodies to his advantage, feinting this way and that until one of the beast-men attempts to step over or avoid them, timing his strike more easily given how they must avoid the obstacles.

The remaining beast men threaten Kondor with their bones.
And one croaks in a bestial common, "You are outnumbered. Leave now and live."

Ref, are you allowing the advanced combat actions? If so, I would like to Dodge (+2 to AC) with a cautious retreat (half move) through the dispersing mists back to Gundrabu’s companions inside the sanctuary.

Of course, Gundrabu will do this only if there are no additional beast men between the cleric of the Kraken and his companions.

D6- 4

Phase One
Melee (half move and charge) 15’, +2 to AC

Magic (half move)
Movement (half achieved)

Gundrabu successfully dodges his opponent's attack as he backpedals through the doorway and finds himself back to back with Kondor...though now surrounded by beast men. One facing the cleric and 3 facing the barbarian. Igrest lies among the fallen beast men.

The wind dies down drastically and flurries float through the rafters.

"I spoke too soon, perhaps," spits out the talking beast. "The offer remains. Your sorcerer lay dead already. You will be next."

and if Kondor doesn’t suddenly rage on them

We shall see...

Gundrabu +200XP!

Both parties quietly welcome the brief respite, if only brief. Their soft panting giving each side away.
Gundrapu examines the growing knot on Igrest's skull and feels a healthy pulse between the tendons of his neck as Kondor holds the resting beast men at bay.

The beast men look confused and grunt amongst themselves before the one that talks says, "Take him and go, far away from here." He motions to the beast man in the doorway to step aside toward them, which it does - all the while eyeing the sinewy barbarian's bloody blade.

Overcome by doubt, the barbarian passes the paw over the fallen comrade, but the sorcerer is not roused. Kondor easily lifts the sorcerer, but his laden pack proves quite cumbersome.

One of the beast men retrieves the large silver shining shield and long bent metal pipe from the floor at his fallen leaders feet.

The beast men eye the adventurers carefully, their bones in their hands at the ready.

Gundrabu nods to whomever he has been speaking. “I thank you for your... humanity.”

Then he accompanies Kondor and his burden out into the cold. He whispers to Kondor, “Perhaps we return the way we came?”

Kondor whispers back, "Indeed. Take the pack in case we need to defend ourselves against treachery. Let's hope the Ixian has more of her healing herbs for him."
