Markd, realizing that they cannot help the boy until the centions are disposed of, quickly fires another arrow with his short bow.
Shortbow [1d20+1] = 9+1 = 10; [1d6] = 1

(figure might as well use up the last two before switching over, especially since he had it in hand.)

Captain Bremen looks darkly at his newly appropriated bow and whispers menacing words that should not be typed on a family-friendly forum. Feeling the bow has learned its lesson, he nocks another arrow.

Long Bow [1d20+2] = 1+2 = 3, damage [1d8] = 6 The die roller is certainly helping with the narrative of Bremen's disdain for his bow.

Arrows continue to fly back and forth - Bandy sinks a shaft deep into the Cention bowman's shoulder, (-6) while the Cention's shot goes wide as a result. The Cention snaps off the shaft and grimaces as he nocks his next arrow. Bremen struggles with his longbow and snaps his bowstring in the process, resulting in even more cursing. (1 action to restring it)

Markd hurls the last of his original quiver of arrows using his bow with sadly mediocre results.

Captain Bremen nods in obvious admiration of the cention's grit. He ducks low, out od sight and impatiently restrings his bow. Tough SOBs ain't they? Can't wait to see them dead.

Bandy Sandybanks

Sensing victory is nearly at hand, Bandy fires another arrow at the archer Cention and smiles as it releases, knowing its flight it true...

Shortbow [1d20+2] = 17+2 = 19 Damage [1d6] = 4

Wow, you guys are fast today! Okay, here's another round...

Bandy and the archer release their shots simultaneously. The Cention's arrow strikes Bremen as he tries to restring his longbow (-4), while Bandy's shot again hits, this time laying the Cention bowman low (-4).

Enraged more than fearful, the Cention acolyte charges forward rather than waiting for his fate in the campsite alone. His stinger rises up and comes down in a powerful overhead strike again at Bremen, interrupting his efforts to restring his bow completely. Bremen dodges, but now faces the massive creature before him.

Markd can either attempt to assist the dying boy or fight the cention.

Do the two of you have the fight under control :) ?

Captain Bremen grabs up the warhammer as he rolls out of the way, his swing thrown off by being on the defensive.

Warhammer [1d20+3] = 6+3 = 9, [1d8+3] = 7+3 = 10
Initiative (modified for DEX) [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4
We'll be needing some help here... Not sure if you'll want to reroll that or not. Up to you.

Gambling here... (The 4 is better than 50/50, so I will leave it be) Also, hoping this work :)

Markd seizes the opportunity to dash to the injured squire and attempts to stablize him as quickly as possible.

Seeing Markd flee, Captain Bremen shouts after him.Damned, disfigured coward!


That's going to strain their relationship even more!
And as an aside, isn't Markd the fighter in the group? He's leaving a halfling and a thief to do the grunt work?

If Alethan wants to switch and go rescue, then Markd would stand and fight. I think we have one round left to try and save the boy, and we need all the help we can get.

I'm fine with that choice as a player. Markd is pretty altruistic. Bremen, on the other hand, is a self-interested, social climber. :P

Bandy Sandybanks

Bandy tries to drop his bow and draw his longsword and attack the Cention all at the same time.

It is obviously too much for the much bedraggled halfling...

Longsword [1d20+1] = 1+1 = 2 Damage [1d8+1] = 6+1 = 7

ok, you're right... Bandy should have played the nurse.

Markd sprints across the field, taking up the brave farm lad, Neachdainn, in his arms as his body convulses. He realizes he has no way to counteract poison as he looks down into the boy's wide, panicked eyes. The boy croaks wordlessly, appealing to Markd, as his body's limbs lurch with their last involuntary spasms. Markd has a last moment to offer the boy comfort before his life expires.

Bremen dances with the last Cention, who (otherwise unarmed) strikes out once more with his poison-tipped stinger. Bremen dodges deftly past the poisonous proboscis while likewise wiffing with his warhammer. Bandy fumbles in his haste, trying to switch from bow to sword. The longsword slips from his grasp, flung accidentally into the tall grasses nearby.

(Next Round!)

Pissed to say the least, Markd rushes from his foxhole in a move that would make William Wallace proud, slashing the back of the cention.

Not caring that his mother would blush at his foul language, Captain Bremen curses at the cention for being so quick. He warhammer pounds into the earth powerfully. I swear I met you on the inside of whore's thigh once, you effing crab!
