Xun paces beside Hogarth, the usual cheerful demeanor replaced by a cold and terrifying focus.

(( keeping pace with the barbarian, also looking out for traps, and murdering the shit out of things that arent smart enough to run the hell away.  also presumably we wind up going back to the southwest since the NE seems to end at a dead-end, unless there is a sekrit door. ))
62
Xun follows Rhyhorn, stepping into the cart and bowing his head as he arranges Elia's limbs in gentle repose.  He chants and rolls beads in his hands, mending her damaged body as best he can with his arts.  "Must go back to town.  Find her temple.  They can help."  He looks up at the stone beast, a very uncharacteristic cold look in his eyes.  "But first, all things in this cave die."  And with that he slips off the cart and heads back into the caves.

1) Help the pokeymanz take Elia back to the cart.
2) Compose her body, bless it to ward off undeath.
3) Move to K3
4) Enter Punishing Stance

((I totally vote for the sidequest, although I am honestly not sure if I can keep the sum total of asses in one piece.))
63
Xun does not wait for the rhyhorn, immediately turning and sprinting to the north.  His blade flicks out at the two goblins in a series of blinding cuts before slipping forward and carving a glowing symbol into the air just in front of Hobgoblin 1 to unleash a blast of force.

1) Move to J9
2) Word of Binding on Goblin 24
3) Attack Goblin 25
4) sidestep to I8 and Rune of Divine Thunder on Hobgoblin 1
64
(( I am approximately 5 evils and 1 minor irritation tall ))

Xun follows the others, leaping across the pond and staying close behind Rhyhorn.

1-4) stick one square behind the pokeymans, helping to deflect incoming attacks.
65
Xun shrugs out of his backpack, leaving it and his cookpot beside the cart before advancing forward.  Seeing his allies engaging the goblins in the only convenient areas to stand in, he hangs back in a defensive posture to see what unfolds.

1) move to O13
2-4) deflect any incoming attacks.
66
Xun clears his throat softly.  "If I am understanding, we come here for job, yes?  Job needs us go in cave.  To leave without finish job, is great shame.  Make us seem... Make us not get many more job in future, nobody hire because we not finish job.  Also, goblin very dangerous.  Could hurt many innocent people if we not go into cave and put stop to.  Is right thing to do."
67
Xun keeps his ears open as he moves to rejoin the others, keeping Elia close in case they are attacked again.

1-4) Move with Elia towards the cave, stopping to defend us both if neccesary.
68
His tradepeak may not be the best, but the wandering philosopher definitely understands that.  He moves swiftly to the downed priest and rolls up his sleeves(1), taking a moment to focus himself(2) before his brush flicks out to craft an elegant piece of calligraphy on Elia's armor.  The writing blazes with a warm golden light (3) and Xun moves to take up a defensive stance between the priestess and the orcs to the north.  "You be careful.  Writing good, you still hurt very bad."
1) Move to J14
2) Regain maneuvers, self-heal 6
3) Rune of mending on Elia
4) Hold action to deflect attacks away from Elia.
69
Xun moves swiftly through the darkness, taking on how his allies have handled the initial stage of the skirmish.  Sword in hand, he steps up beside Hogarth (1,2) and unleashes a flurry of cuts at one of the goblins (3) before turning and drawing a swift series of lines on Hogarth's armor with an ink-stained finger. (4)

1,2) Move to r13, enter protective stance.
3) attack goblin 12 with Word of Binding, Defense bonus to Hogarth if it hits
4) Rune of Mending on Hogarth

"It honor to be of help."  He bows deeply to Sari Novell and then receives his money from Rhyhorn. "Ah yes, thank you.  Was coming to find this."  He examines his sword for any damage before slipping it quickly back into its sheathe, tucking his hands into the sleeves of his robes and following the mage into the building.
71
Xun hisses furiously through clenched teeth, pretty sure the elemental just cracked most of his ribs in a single shot.  Realizing his paper and ink would simply burn in the heat of the elemental, he runs his fingertip across his bloodied lips and reaches out to draw a series of mystic runes on the rhyhorn's stony hide. (1)  "Forgive, rhyhorn.  Unsanitary but neccesary."  He then takes a moment to focus on himself, drawing up a wellspring of personal energy (2,3) before inscribing the same runes on his chest. (4)

1) Rune of Mending on the rhyhorn, punishing stance gives +4 power to everybody in Close range.
2, 3) Vital recovery.  Heal 6 HP and restore used maneuvers.
4) Rune of Mending on myself
72

1) enter Punishing Stance
2) move to I12
3) smack the fire elemental with Divine Rune of Thunder
4) smack it again with Word of Binding
73
Xun watches the comings and goings with some concern.  When ordered to identify himself, he gives a polite nod of his head.  "Xun Huan.  Cook, traveler, priest of Way.  Honored to make acquaintance."  He watches Seap be led away.  "Hope no trouble.  Seap kind boy, play music very good."  He offers a friendly smile to the clerk and guards, hoping for a peaceful resolution even as he readies himself for conflict.
74
Xun sighs softly.  "No bother guards.  That job very important, niceness not...", he founders for a moment, "... not needed.  Best to just wait, line will move in time."  He folds his legs beneath him, suiting deed to words as he perches on a cart.  "No cause trouble, get through faster."
75
Xun raises an eyebrow at the panicking fire spirit.  "Surely one such as yourself has little to fear from an ordinary bird.  Are you not a living piece of flame?"
76
Xun bends down and cleans his blade on the fallen orc, finishing by wiping the blade clean with a small piece of cloth.  He turns to watch his companions deal with the few remaining enemies as he moves back towards the wagons.  They are surprisingly skilled.

(( Looks like the rest of the team has this all locked down, so Xun is taking it easy. ))
77
Xun gives the oxen behind him a firm pat on the head to stop it and then darts off, sandalled feet barely leaving an imprint on the grass as he rushes towards a lone orc (bonus).  His sword comes free with a rasping hiss while his footwork suddenly shifts, his attacks coming fast and aggressive (1-2).  A quick flurry of cuts, a feint, and then a downward slash to the orcs leg followed by a spinning backhand cut at its face, and Xun holds hsi blade out to the side, as if inviting the enemy to strike him.

bonus actions) move towards the orc, to B9
1-2) draw sword and enter Punishing Stance
3) Word of Binding
4) Regular attack.
78
"I do not know this... Willis person.  Sorry for dissapoint, little fire spirit."
79
Xun Huan has been quietly taking in the... antics of his friends, with a vaguely amused smile.  He leans forward and bows faintly in his chair, his ale all but untouched.  "Xun Huan.  Pleased to make acquaintance."  He settles back again, hands folded on the table.  "We are move... food?  Little man very... not clear on cargo.  Hope food.  Food left too long after harvest go bad, terrible waste.  Many go hungry."
