He expends all his actions to do so, as Mayor is quite heavy. It's what Watson deserves for allowing his ally to take a hit like that with no prior warning of their capabilities such as "You may or may not be slain if you do not take any necessary precautions."
Albeit quite a mouthful. Maybe "Run" is the most optimal code of warning.
You conclude that Mayor is incredibly heavy and you're pretty sure that your back will be aching for the rest of the day. Or week, maybe.
Well, atleast you dragged him like a meter away from the immediate danger of getting stabbed and/or smashed.
In retrospect, this may not have been the most useful way to spend your time.

It looked like Bohw wasn't even phased by Mayor falling down. On the inside she wanted to break out into tears, but she had to quell any emotions for time being, lest she lose herself in the chaos. She stepped forward, "Savannah!" She called out, attempting to grab her attention. Once (and if) she looked, Bohw pointed at her with two fingers, then quickly pointed towards an empty area of the hallway where one could slip past, something Savannah would probably be very good at.
She stepped back again and loaded another arrow as she aimed at the Forsaken (The shadowy dagger man). The plan was that Savannah would sneak around in the chaos and drive that glaive into that fleshy monster's back, while it was too distracted by being shot by Bohw, hopefully she got the message. She added a bit of magic into the arrowhead as drew back the bow, letting it glint with an annoying light for a moment, for no real purpose other than to draw it's eye... or at least what was left of it.
Mayor finds himself falling into unconsciousness. But there was something he needed to do first that this mess might be brought to completion.
Mayor struggles to pry free the remains of his sundered armor plate, revealing the scrap metal beneath. Consciousness fading, he reaches into his chest to pull something free.
Mayor has lost Selfless II.
Mayor's arm falls limp at his side, a jagged crystal clattering across the floor before coming to a rest against the cavern wall.
Meanwhile, Bohw is busy firing at the Forsworn! Your arrow goes wide, but you seem to have attracted the attention of the shadow-figure! (Hit 3 Vs Defense 8)

Bohw's, to be specific. Cocking an eyebrow in surprise, she glanced at the sort of dip in the hallway, tilting her head. Now what was their leading motioning on about? Savannah understood once Bohw loaded up another arrow, a grin forming on her face. She shot Bohw a mock salute and scurried off to the small dip in the hallway, slipping quietly behind the enemy.
Savannah loomed behind their enemies, waiting for a signal or something. It came when a sharp glint of light blinked on the other side of the Forsaken. Yeah, that was probably the signal. Savannah waited for the arrow to fly before lunging forward and ramming the glaive through the shadow creature's back, feet aiming for the back of the thing's knees. Or, at least, where she assumed they were.
Bohw's attack might not have been a success, but it's still distracted your quarry! You dart forward and stab your glaive through- nothing? (Hit 8+6 Vs Defense 8+8)
In the blink of an eye, the shadow has disappeared, flashing towards Bohw where it reforms, dagger plunging into her side for 660 damage!
Then the massive armor charges at your unprotected back, swinging its blade in an overhead strike! Fortunately you hear this coming from miles away and with a quick glance at your foe, nimbly duck beneath the incredibly linear attack. (Hit 1+4 Vs Defense 7)

You heal yourself for 202 and boost your defense by 3! (Roll 5+6)
Your soldier stabs the Forsworn for 13 damage. (roll 2)
It might be worth noting that all actions with multiple effects has its effectiveness split between the different effects, with a slight boost to the total value applied for each effect or unit it affects.

And now she has green paint on her. While she couldn't claim to care much about what colors she slapped on her figure, Myra was quite sure this shade in particular worked in all the wrong ways for her.
The ravenfolk's efforts to support her allies thus far have barely left a mark on the battle! Forget the healing, she wants to take out her anger on these abominations! Let's see, but which to start on? Hmm...Perhaps The Forsaken....Yes, The Forsaken, who is currently targeted by others, it seems. Maybe she could help expedite its fall.
Myra weaves together a spell to sling at The Forsaken that will increase the damage it takes from her allies for the next few turns. She also pulls out her Silken Strands to have it at the ready for later.
You curse the Forsworn with vulnerability, causing it to take an additional 50% damage until up to 683 bonus damage has been dealt. (roll 13+9+4)

With a storm of souls surging through you, you reach out to Razan's mind and seize it. Unburdened by pretense of sanity, its easy to slip into this mind that you once knew so well. You crush it under your will.
Now fueled by the pain of your merciless invasion, you direct Nishio to lash out at the shell of his former self, wielding a blade hewn from light that is both you and yours, dealing 1109 damage to Razan and the Forsaken and smiting the demonic corpse for an addional 2363! The myriad of souls that had possessed the broken husk are cleansed by the blade of light, leaving the corpse to fall to the ground in a heap, empty at last. Such was the fate of those who were left behind.
While you are gloating over this brilliant application of justice and vengeance, Razan musters enough willpower to shut you out just in time for you to come to yourselves and see Corvid rising to her feet in front of you. Her first action is to leap into your face and rake her claws across your face, then stab her broken stub of an arm into your guts, dealing 320 and 630 damage, respectively.
