Sorry folks, but the pace of the game is the main thing, and on that basis I'll have to count Rah out of this one.
4-2 is initiative to you! And a Refresh!
Dak disengaged away from his foes last turn. with a parting gift of 11 damage to Staff I. He's all clear for this turn, hurrying down to floor north. He ends up next to Xavier- who has just combat pushed a guard out the equation- leaving Xavier wondering what is going on until he sees the two Staffmen coming at them from the north.
Rianna breaks cover and heads west, cutting down a guard; Relle takes the other. Con opens up on Pike B, though sadly his rolling is off. Two successes doubles to 4, and six damage. He retrieves his sabre though, and his attack softens B up nicely for Edana to then kill him stone dead with the other half of the trophy case she is bombarding around with. Unfortunately, this leaves Edna in some trouble as he just ran head on into the staffmen chasing Dak. They catch her dead on and one goes to attack her; she is obliged to ignite her sabre
Up top, Rand kills Pike G stone dead. Yay! And Azarl abandons his droid to help Rand by killing H. J7 may remember that...
Galder scores a mighty 23 damage in X, killing him! That wasn't really the best move though; you would have got a bonus attack against him anyway when he tried to retrieve his weapon so that's effectively cost you an attack. Still, he's very much doornailed.
J7 manages to roll well and drop one of his assailants exactly on the money. Out of defence, Rura tries a desperate Marksman tap on T, for nine damage.
Graf was considering firing at the incoming Staffmen, but with three of you guys near him and them now she's feeling much safer. She kills Pke T instead, taking some heat off of Rura.
Their moves!
Well, Edna's first facing against an opponent goes well as he rolls seven dice and misses the lot. That would be a disarm... except that the electrostaves are sabre proof. Staff clashes against sabre with a crackle! The guard up top fires at Edna as well, and rolls 2, 1, 1. Getting a message here, I think.
I have 17 firers to the south firing at the three of you to the west; with crowd casualties included that is 5 attacks on each. Rianna and Con are brought to the absolute brink.
Up to the west, Rah is brought down as is, in a resentful shower of sparks, J7. K can't beat Galder's defensive spends, though, and ends up pikeless. He just takes a hit from the Staffman. Azarl takes heavy punishment when caught by Staff F, who drives him back mercilessly; V has retrieved a pike and returns to the fight.

Galder has to choose which two of his bajillion taps to refresh.
Lower East is now on fire; this turn the fire spreads around the top to Upper North and South.
EDIT: Con shot a guard, not Staff B, so Edna's attack did not get the kill.
Also I should be in lower viewing gallery west now, I think.
Well, I'm sort of screwedish.
I think I'll do this:
If we get initiative:
Swap in CoC for Dodge and Weave, tap CoC, Tap Eagle Eye, move to lower north, use ward, and shoot Pikemen J, I, F, V
If we don't get initiative:
Defensive Leap to lower north, co-ordination, dodge and weave (not tap unless necessary)
