[OOC: We should let the White Men attack with whatever table gives them the worst chance to hit. Given the odds seemingly against us, with 11 + poison attack + Boss monster and one of our number down, we need all the help we can get!]
Thaimos attempts to watch the carnage, and see what might give him the best odds. Being hit probably means instant death (he can deduce that from Breath's situation), so he's going to see if he can mayhap take someone by surprise. He is staying in the car while doing this.
Perhaps approaching from the opposite side of the car , heading out a window between the car and the tunnel wall might help, he thinks. Even the noise from the splashing shouldn't make a difference with all the chaos from yelling, grunting, and fighting noises, maybe?
Thaimos ponders all this and more, moving from window to window inside the car, keeping his head down.

(rolls dice)Servitor, Shadow, and Breath have all regained your vision and may act without penatly in Round 2. (Shadow is still deafened.)
Breath, as you slip in and out of consciousness, you are horrified to realize your fate! Two grotesque White Men are carrying you gently, perhaps almost lovingly, into the dark tunnel. As the light fades, so too do your hopes...
9 White Men and their Green Foreman remain locked in battle with the party.
Initiative is rolled: PCs 2, Enemy 3.
The Green Man barks an order to his minions, and they rush to his aid, swarming Sovereign Mask and Eye of Thundera. They roll 3 dice (1 die per 3 men): 1, 3, 2. Our heroes are saved by their armor, but in the crush and confusion of stinking bodies, the Foreman (Dexterity check) is able to break out of the flanking formation.
The wounded Foreman of the Central Shaft flees eastward into the darkened tunnel!

His vision returning, The Shadow quickly takes stock of the situation. Noting the white men battling the people he was just so recently fighting with, he charges into the melee, swinging his flail at the nearest white man with his back to him.

Thaimos carefully makes his way out of the car, keeping the monorail between the fray and himself, and attempts to flank one of the White Men.
If he sees an opportunity to attack from behind, he will. If he is trapped, he will attempt to retreat between rail car and wall, to prevent more than one from getting to him.

Breath of New Moon attempts to struggle free from the White Men's grip, but cannot seem to muster enough energy even to stay conscious let alone move...

[sorry, moved into a new house over the weekend, and only got internet installed this morning] Servitor of the Yellow Sign whirls his tulwar, attempting to cleave a great circle of blood all about him!

The Sovereign Mask of All Who See turns his attention to the horde of white men surrounding him, buckling them with his flail. "It doesn't have to end like this, you know," he screams.

The party retaliates against the White Men!
Shadow is first to strike, but is still regaining his equilibrium and swings wide (rolled a 1). His missed attack is not in vain, as he creates a flanking opportunity for Thaimos (4) who easily dispatches the troglodyte from behind!
Eye of Thundera misses (3).
Servitor springs back to life (I'll give you a bonus attack at -1 since you got skipped last time: 1, 6-1=5). His first attack misses the mark, but sets up a second deadly blow, chopping down one of the foe.
Sovereign Mask buckles down with his flail (6) and easily smashes apart one of the ghastly white men.
Surprisingly, the best swing of the round comes from Thug Slave (6) who appears pleased with himself as he does his part and contributes to the carnage.
4 of the White Men have been slain, leaving only 5 standing in your immediate vicinity.
MEANWHILE
The Mirthful Doomed runs down the tunnel to the East in pursuit of the Foreman and the 2 White Men carrying Breath of New Moon. Unencumbered by heavy armor (12" movement for leather) you are able to keep pace with the Green Man and strike out with your club. You need an 8 to hit (mace vs. padded armor) and roll (1, 3) + 1 = 5... he is too swift for your hasty attack.
The Foreman continues to run East down the tunnel. The way ahead is completly dark save for the bobbing light from his headlamp. The white men carrying Breath must be somewhere up ahead; you hear splashing footsteps but cannot see them from here.
MEANWHILE
Fated to Die begins to explore the dimly-lit control room. Noteworthy features include:
A variety of tools, helmets, etc. hanging from pegs Six full-length metal lockers A desk with a variety of high-tech buttons and levers. It appears to be divided into three sections: To the left, a small panel with 5 simple two-position switches, all currently in the down position; to the right, a large up/down lever currently in the middle position, next to a keyhole and a big red button; in the center, the most complicated looking machine, with several dials, knobs, and buttons surrounding a device that looks like this (without the sign explaining what it is, obviously):

Seeing that they were unresponsive to his request for peace, the Sovereign Mask of All Who See continues to beat at the white man surrounded his elegant, purple figure.
