"Sorry boys," Galder says. "I don't really like these odds."
As I believe Galder has one more point to blow... he is going to swap Balanced Guard for Forward Guard, tap Duck, and spend a Force point on Defensive Leap to drop down to Lower West, evading his attackers for a moment.
Use Balance in addition.
EDIT- I'm only going to tap Duck if I am attacked. If Duck is not tapped, Galder will draw his knife in mid-air from his cybernetic arm. If Duck is tapped, he doesn't do this.
Swap Eye of the Storm for Orthodox Guard.
Relle drops her pistols for a moment and draws her lightsaber.
If we get it, Relle comes running over to Floor South and cuts down a guard there as the flames close in.
If they get it, Relle is going to follow the guards and cut down one, since she doesn't want them firing at her while she saves Con.

You're awesome.
(perhaps good we haven't proceeded far in the retrospection yet, or Relle might not do that)
2-2 on initiative- switches to you!
Rivas has spent a Fortune point to untap Duck. Just one extra success from Xavier's Duck I am afraid, but still a good attack.
Edna gets to Floor West, and Gallador is safe!
Rianna's MA tap... doesn't quite make it I am afraid!
Relle is on her way South!
Galder super-moves it out of there, mainly acting to spread the attackers out somewhat. His attackers follow him down and whilst the two that get to him miss Galder the one that finds Rianna in the way does not; a single 6 is enough to take her out, though Graf at least finished her Staffman. Or maybe she finsiehs his shot. Whateer suits best.
Rivas, meanwhile, invalidates Xavier's Balanced Tap with a Focussed Blow tap. He taps Assault also, hitting Xavier particularly hard and Stunning him, so his pool is halved next turn.

I imagine Rianna will have words with Galder about this one...
The Throne burns next turn...
Relle- hot hot hot hot! I wouldn't hang around...
Um right ok well I think I may use my bombard on Rivas then. I'm hoping (maybe) that if we can finish off Rivas, his minions will frankly not know what to do and flee. Alternatively they may chose to take revenge and step up their attacks a notch. Oh well!
Graf can you take out the guard in our area?
However... all now comes to an end!
In the round following, Xavier has beaten the crap out of the dice curve. Four successes on five dice- thanks to a Perfect Strike convert- means he hit Rivas. Rivas hit him back for 8 damage... but triggered a Riposte tap from Xavier, and that hit lands the kill.
A slightly surprised looking head-of-Rivas comes bouncing down the stairs towards the flames. as Edna killed Pike I with a mighty Bombard roll... and the others flee.
You win! Time to relax and... oh wait. You are in a flaming inferno surrounded by a Tregannan army, and Xavier, you think Trax was saying something along the lines of 'so long and good luck...', but you were a tad busy to hear it properly.
