Kasumi sees Niko holding his own while Hans went chasing the fleeing enemies. She quickly moves past the nearest large enemy to position herself to a position to rush towards the group near Hans, throwing wild punches as she arrives.

The fossils continue their onslaught against the owlbear skeleton

The prone owlbear skeleton gets utterly destroyed by the angry baboons, ripping it apart bone by bone and leaving not one moving bit behind.

The lampad runs further into the woods and bumps into a try. She grasps around, searching her way out of the labyrinth invisible to her.

Finally in the thick of things, Niko lets loose with a flurry of hammer strikes and shield bashes.

Niko sweeps the Redcap off the cart with a solid hammer blow, while slamming the shield into the skeleton to solid effect. The redcap shrivels up, until eventually only one metallically glimmering tooth remains of it.

Hans lands a solid backstab on the fleeing lampad, stealing her ability to magically shape stone. As she grasps around, she appears suddenly very beautiful - unsettlingly so.

The zombies continue their somber work of loading the carts, not taking any notice of the battle around them.

Yuki sighs as Fuyuko floats off, with the assassin promptly disappearing into the shadows and reappearing beside the yuki-onna. "Please stop moving towards danger. If you don't, I'll have to carry you, and then I can't fight effectively."

Not that anyone bar Kasumi would probably understand that. It was, after all, in a very foreign language.

The surviving Redcap runs until it too is stopped by tree, much like the lampad.

Peri moves in to guard her master.

Fuyuko smiles at her wife as she dances a jig. "What danger? They are already running away. I hope they will delay us for another night, I already have an idea for what pretty Nadja should wear tomorrow... If I weren't already married I could sooo hug and kiss her every time she blushes!
Don't worry. You know I am faithful, so it is enough for me to admire her cute reaction from a distance."

As the two remaining fey fled into the forest, Hans decided to go for the lesser threat, but not before sending a surge of ominous energy towards the lampad's feet

The lampads movements slow down, and Hans manages to drive his rapier deep into the back of the redcap.

The owlbears sweep furiously against the targets next to them, getting in a lucky hit against Kasumi.

Kasumi is surprised at the lucky hit, and is determined to not let it make another. After a solid hit to the owlbear, she moves on towards Hans and the fleeing fey.

Having just reduced the owlbear skeleton to a pile of bones, the baboon fossils simply stand there menacingly

The offending skeleton bursts into bone shrapnels under Kasumi's blows. As the monk approaches the lampad, there is something incredibly... saddening about that sight, but the feeling is only fleeting.

The lampad, cornered, slowed, blind and hearing approaching heavy footsteps, gets on her knees, drops her torch and raises her hands, still weeping, and speaks to Kasumi in a pleading tone.

Niko downs the skeleton next to him, and the zombie too.

The zombies don't even notice and continue to load the carts, even if at lowered output with the loss of one worker.

Yuki looks down at the mess and thinks. "Maybe you should stick with Nadja the next time there's a fight, then. Hank's a good protector, but he is very boring. He might persuade her to wear something unflattering and unassuming."

The last of the redcaps goes down under Hans' blade, shrivelling up until nothing but an iron tooth remains.

You are left alone with nothing but a cowering lampad, human zombies still loading carts, and a lot of bodies.

As you take inventory, Nadja and Hank close up to you again, looking exhausted.

Hm, why were they so tired? Not much could have gone on back there. Looking after a few dying people, perhaps.

Maybe Fuyuko would have a better idea if they were evasive. But first, they needed to get off this roof. And letting her just float down was boring. Without warning, Yuki scooped up the yuki-onna and hopped off the roof, looking at the two curiously. "Did something else happen?"

Having stuck down the final hostile, Hans took a minute to deal with the halfway self-inflicted pain before somewhat composing himself. Without moving from his position, in sylvan he asked, “you’re with Sujla, no? What was the angle of attacking the villagers? Perhaps corpses to create more undead?”
