Hearing that trouble is afoot, Poppo moves up against the wall using the others as shields for his small frame. When he can see whatever the enemy is, he will grease across the hallway in attempts to slow their progress and hopefully give his friends a chance to take them out.
Out of Character: : Cast Grease at the corner once he sees an enemy appear.
There's a yelling sound, and three men burst around the corner after Jack. The first has his feet slip out from under him, and he goes skidding down the hall.
The other two stop, briefly eye the lot of you waiting down the hall from them, and retreat back around the corner, leaving their companion behind. Shouting goes up, "There's more of 'em! Where the hells is that sending stone!"
In the meantime, the unfortunate cultist is lying on his back and gaping at Poljen a few paces from the barbarian.
Cratol uses his monk speed to try to catch up to the others before they can get that stone. He will avoid the grease that Poppo laid out. He is not wanting them to call for others to come join in.
Out of Character: He is thinking of the group not of himself right now. He will use a Ki point to get more attacks in. Also included is any AOO if they present it.
As Jack gets in view of the rest of the group, he skids to a halt as his pursuers get around the corner and he finds himself face to face with Poljen:
"Sorry, things got out of hand… !", the wiry man gasps, still firmly clutching at his belt," 5 of them as far as I could count, and probably more coming if they ring the alarm… *wheeze* "
As the rogue says this, he swings back towards the now-retreating, shouting guards and feels a slight "Woosh" of air being displaced as Cratol runs past him at incredible speed, obviously after them.
Jack has a perfunctory look at the man-at-arms sprawled at their feet, then catches Poljen's eye as the big man also gets ready for a sprint.
Rolling his eyes towards the ceiling with a resigned a slightly abashed countenance, Jack pants out: "Oh all right, then…! ", finishes to secure his loose breeches, tightens his grip on his rapier, then vaults over the grease spot and takes off after the fleeing cultists.
Out of Character:
Jack will run back, do a long jump over the greased area then continue at full movement after the guards (+ cunning dash if necessary), to attempt a backstab when he catches up with them.
If he can still use his cunning action at that point, he will grant Help on Zarra's next shots (Either that, or from next round on).

Oswald looks Fay in the eye, with a smile on his face. He pulls his bow and says; "The fracas", before running back to the group. As he rounds the corner, he pulls an arrow and angles a shot if needed. Upon seeing no enemy in sight, and the group heading down the hall, he continues after them.
Out of Character: Double Move.

Zarra with also seek to maneuver around acrobatically, not so much jump over it as work her way past the grease before following after with her hand crossbow at ready for once the drow has joined Jack and Cratol. As she does, she will try to find something to hide behind or shadows so as to stealth.
Velon springs into action as Jack rounds the corner, which is to say he slowly accelerates in his heavy plate. He moves forward towards the edge of the grease hoping to meet whatever threat is coming and cut them down, protecting the rest of the group if necessary since he isn't sure if they should be attacking or fleeing. He sees the quicker, more acrobatic members of the group dash by him at the mention of the enemy sounding the alarm but decides his place is here taking on any foe coming down the hall. He readies his sword and strikes with his green flaming blade as they round the corner.
