DOWNSTAIRSThe Lady Knight strikes at the monk who is still standing. Perhaps the wound has affected her because she misses by a large margin and barely holds onto her weapon.
The Monk returns her blow, rejecting any call to surrender. But he misses.
Osric acts next - taking the action as described in an earlier post:
As the monk turns his attention to the Lady Knight, Osric decides to seize his chance. Clutching his staff with both hands level in front of him, he dives forward with all his weight straight into the monk hoping to knock him back onto the stairs and land on top of him. He flattened Jenk like this once, right into the stables' dunghill, after all. Although Jenk hadn't been holding sharpened steel...
Dirty Fighting skill to knock the remaining monk prone. If possible, will treat as Wolf Guard for such an all-in sweeping attack, but it's clearly not a conventional fighting guard...
Attack: 14, +2 if Wolf Guard allowed
Knocking monk back onto stairs: 1d20 18
Ouch.
His leap is mistimed, blocked, and pushed back, not even unbalancing the monk. He stumbles onto one knee heavily right at the monk's feet...
Attempts to keep footing: 1d20 3
... but quickly scrambles away and back up before any harm can come of it.
'Idiot' he mutters to himself, and spits.
The monk who fell prone is trying to get to his feet. It is clear he has no intention of surrendering, so Eggdras strikes at him...
Attack on prone monk who is attempting to stand (half DEFENCE, so a 9 or better to hit):
1d20 4Armour Bypass Roll:
1d8 5gravely wounding him. He ceases his attempt to rise for now.
New RoundOnce again the Lady Knight strikes at the standing foe. This time there is no mistake and she strikes true through his armour.
He returns the attack and misses.
Osric tries for a simple maneuver than last time, attacking with his sword. The point of his blade catches the Monk in the throat and with a gout of blood, the Monk falls to the ground, unconscious or dead.
Attack on left stair monk (splitting DEFENCE, so 9 to hit):
1d20 6Armour Bypass Roll:
1d8 5Eggdras strikes at the prone Monk who knocks aside his blade.
Attack on right stair monk (4 to hit):
1d20 13New RoundThe Lady Knight staggers as she strikes weakly at the Monk.
He desperately returns a strike from his prone position but misses.
Eggdras skewers him. He slumps back unmoving.

1d8 8The Lady Knight turns to Osric and Eggdras as she pulls a flask from her belt and downs it.
"My name is Dynis Wisdom, and I could do with your help upstairs. No insult is intended, but if I call you boys and children when we go up there, it is because it may help you stay alive. Come with me, in the name of the King and the City of Ongus."
Neither of you recognise her name. She has started up the stairs.
Intelligence Check (Eggdras) (knowledge, +2bonus for city, 11 or better):

1d20 19UPSTAIRSThe Nun says, in apparent response to Alistair's question. "It's a sword. It's sharp." The Nun and the Lady on the bed are now looking directly at each other. The Nun speaks. "You explain. They might believe you more than me."
The Lady speaks. "I should bloody well hope so. Look,
children," she says, putting a strong emphasis on that word, "Honeysuckle and Stinkweed, here, are here in the city to try and capture some children to take back to their masters. They do not normally prey in a city but they are here looking for a very particular girl."
She looks directly at you, Emily, as she says this. "You are that girl." and she winks at you in a very obvious fashion. All of you see the wink.
The Monk has moved towards the fireplace. You have the distinct impression, he is subservient to the Nun - and that he also doesn't like being called 'Stinkweed'.
