Prologue: The Jolly Wanderer

With Shedinn taking an aggressive stance, Solra moves to back the ploy, moving into a position with both weapons readied where she can easily move to help Shedinn or to intercept any fighter types that might move towards their collected civilians.

Kruux's eyes go wide as Melianne's warns the frog creature. Kruux lets out a series of croaks and suddenly there is a great ruckus. Kruux as well as all civlians are running away from the area in front of the palace.

While Melianne warns Kruux, Phann runs from Rhys towards your "army" and hides in the middle of the people.

The emporer points at you and with a voice that is so deep that you can feel a vibration in your chest it yells
Guards! *CROAX* Seize the troublemakers. Whoever catches one of the puny humans can keep it as slave!

The two guards that are riding the toads are lowering their spears at you, while the four frog people around you are doing the same.
Your makeshift army with Raskell as its leader is readying their weapons. Fear is written on their faces as they clearly never have been to a battle.

Annika, on the other side of the palace, can hear the turmoil going on and hurries the people to get out of the pit. Unfortunatly only three people managed to get out of the pit at this time. One of them found a spear, the others are unarmed
Annika hurries them but she realizes that she only has the choice to hurry to the fight with three people now, or more a bit later.

Annika is on the other side of the palace. She can reach the others if she chooses the dash action. But she will only be able to bring three people with one of them wielding a spear. She can wait a round to accrue more fighters or can try to get to the other side of the palace right now

The two mounted frog people are in front of you while four frog foot soldiers are at your sides, two at each one. Raskell with his army is in the back and it seems as if the army can occupy two of the foot soldiers, one from each side.
Melianne is at the front, near the mounted guards as that's where Kruux was a moment before. The others are a few steps behind. You can attack any of the enemies you like as the area where the fighting is taking palce isn't very spacious.

Melianne watches Kruux go and then turns to face the mounted guards and their spears. "Now, gentlemen. Are you absolutely sure that you want to join this dance?" The blade of her rapier glints in the light. "I might just step on your feet... deliberately."

Korrin's arrow flies true and hits the emporer in the shoulder who let's out a gargling shriek

One of the mounted guards positions itself in front of the stairs leading up to the emporer, raising its spear, ready to strike at anyone who nears the ruler. The other one hops in front of Melianne and thrusts its spear at her.

At the same time the four armed frog people begin to attack you.

Two of them attack your 'army' under the lead of Raskell while the other two attack Solra and Shedinn.

Ferociously they stab and bite at you all, willing to protect their emporer but apparently they themselves are surprised by the sudden eruption of battle and only one spear attack on Shedinn and one bite attack Raskell find their intended target.

Just in the middle of all this commotion Annika comes storming on with an armed man in tow.
Soon she will be able to provide help to you all.

Question about Thunderwave still stands.

Melianne yelps in pain as a spear grazes her side, and hastily jumps away from the frog guards. Her rapier is not the best match for their weapons, both in range and style of combat, and the dancer has no delusions about her ability to withstand damage. So, with as much dignity as she manages, Firebird performs a tactical retreat towards Raskell and his brave mob before anyone can poke more holes in her beloved silk scarf.

This leads to her noticing the return of Annika, and Firebird cheerfully waves at her with the rapier, calling out over the commotion of the battle. "You're just in time! And not alone, it seems? Splendid!" She dives into the crowd of passengers, wondrously avoiding any limbs waving about, and tries to find a position from which she can see the battlefield with minimal risk. There, it would be safe for Melianne to do what she does much better than fighting - play some music. A boisterous tune for the reinforcements, perhaps...

Movement: Retreat towards the allied army, preferrably get myself out of enemy melee range.

The emporer takes a few steps back and hides behind its throne. From the cover of the throne it mutters an incantation and then hurls a green sphere at Shedinn.

Sheddin has to make a DC13 DEX saving throw. If you are not successful you take three damage.

Shedinn in the meantime hits the mounted guard hard with his axe. The giant toad that the guard is riding lets out a squeak, throws of its rider and runs off into the village, making way for anyone who wants to, to ascend to the emporer.

EDIT:
Shedinn hits his frog-foot soldier with his axe and strikes it down with a swift blow.

OOC:

@FlyingSucculent.
Sorry I forgot to mention it in my previous post. If you run to Raskell you can now only reach one of the frog people with your thunderwave.
If you move outside of the group you could hit two of them but at the risk of being exposed to enemy attacks.

Solra will conclude this round and Korrin can make his turn too

Solra invokes Searing Smite on her axe and takes a set of swings at the frog that attacked her, attempting to take it down quickly so she can go help Raskell and the crew or Melianne whomever seemed to need her help the most once she got rid of this annoyance. However, she misses it as it had missed her. Still she says, "Okay froggy, you might be a bit bigger than these frogs I already killed but you going to go down just as easily."

Korrin's arrow hits the emporer's arm just as it hurls the sphere at Shedinn. It squeaks and pulls back the arm.
Annika and her armed follower are now ready to take on the frog soldiers.
Rada meanwhie jumps at one of the frog foot soldiers who attecked Raskell, swinging her sword in wide arcs and cutting out a significant chunk of flesh out of it, although not enough to kill it.

The mounted guard that attacked Melianne joins its companion at the bottom of the stairs, blocking the way up to the emporer even further

Annika's up next

Do you want one of us to make the rolls and direct Raskell and the Army? As well as that Spearman that joined Annika and any others that might arrive soon?

OOC:

Sorry guys I made two mistakes with my previous post. At first: Shedinn stood next to a regular frog soldier, not a mounted guard so he struck it down with a swift blow and is ready to engage the next one. I corrected that in the post
Secondly I forgot to process the turns for Rada, Raskell and the army.

I like DeJoker's idea so we'll do it like this:
On your turn you can command Raskell with his army and the spearman that Annika brought with her, as well as any other people who arrive to help. We'll treat Raskell + army as one unit with two attacks, for the sake of simplicity
It takes no action to yell a simple command at them and they can reach any foe. Of course they can only attack once per turn.

@DeJoker If you want to you can make the attacks for Raskell+army for round 1. The spearman only arrived at round 1 so Solra could only command him in round 2

Stats:
Raskell + army:
You make two attacks, one for Raskell and one for his army.
Longsword attack:
+6 to hit, 1d8+6 slashing damage
Angry mob attack:
+2 to hit, 1d8 slashing damage

Spearman:
Spear attack:
+2 to hit, 1d8 piercing damage

Annika, with the spearman in tow, rushes the guards at the foot of the stairs. Green flames burst into life along the length of her rapier.

Hot damn! That went better than expected. So one frog guard takes 10 damage from Annika's attack, the other takes 12 damage from the spearman's attack and Annika's green flame.

Annika grievously wounds one frog solder and with the help of the spearman kills another.

It stabs back at her with its functioning arm

The other one stabs and bites at Raskell, who does his best to shield the civilians from harm

While Annika can avoid the frog soldier's attack, Raskell goes down.
Rada screams and attacks Raskell's adversary.

Rada stabs the frog soldier lethally, which prevents further harm to Raskell but his breathing is starting to slow down

Also, a reminder just in case: Annika has Bardic Inspiration die. :D

Now that Melianne is more or less safe behind the bulk of their improvised army, she can observe the battlefield in more detail. After a quick look around to determine where she is most needed, the dancer notices their brave warrior friend Raskell go down and gasps, before pointing her hand at him and fiercely whispering words of a healing spell. It's not supposed to help with battle wounds - she's only ever used it for accidental burns and occassional bruises of tavern patrons, - but the warrior looks like he needs any assistance he can get.

Once the last wisps of magic leave her hands and surround Raskell, Melianne turns her attention back to their opponents, hoping that Rada can protect their friend from further harm. With almost everyone engaged in close combat, there is not much Firebird can do without hurting allies - but, she can be a distraction. "Hey, you, the emporer!" She yells at the frog cowering behind the throne. "Is this what sort of a ruler you are, covering behind your people in a battle you started with your hubris and lack of competence? For shame, you!"
