This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As soon as Gunther hits the ground Darrimus immediately sheets his rapier and drops down to a knee next to the hulking man. He tries to apply pressure to the wounds to stabilize the wounds.
Medicine Check: 15
Darrimus looks up and shouts to the sidelines, "I need a Healer over here!"
It's at this moment that Darrimus realizes the silence in the arena. He looks up and scan the arena and sees the look the crowd is giving him. He then stands with a look of disgust. He then places his hand on his stomach and half bows.
Darrimus then says, "Oh I do apologize! I guess the expendable Scout was supposed to lose! Well maybe I would have if you had given this warrior a weapon that fit his style!"
Darrimus then laughs with a sly grin and scans the ground while making his next statement for Officer Stanton.
Perception: 7
Darrimus holds his hands out wide, "But then I guess if Ol' Gunther here actually had a decent weapon then when he faced Armond Stanton like intended then the fight would no longer be in the Officers favor!"
Darrimus then wipes his brow and looks at his hand and then looks over his body.
Darrimus says, "Not a drop of blood or sweat on me. Well not my own anyway! Hurry up Armond and get your,Darrimus does Air Quotes"Duel" over with so I can show this crowd what an embarrassment you are to this Military and this Nation! As you can see, I am fairly comfortable with my weapon."
A white robed figure runs out behind Darrimus during his speech and begins muttering words while Darrimus is continuing to talk. Darrimus is able to spot Stanton in the stands near the top in what seems to be 5 other people. This is a special box it appears since the chairs are much further apart than in the bleachers. The crowd remains as quiet as ever as Darrimus exits the arena.
As soon as he exits the ring Moran runs up to Darrimus and says in whisper but with much emphasis "Are you insane?? Stanton is probably furious, but congratulations, I have to say I thought you would win, but I didn't think it would be that easy."
As the two continue to chat, they hear the announcer announcing the start of the next fight. They head inside to watch the fights, strategically positioning himself close to the announcer.
As the fight begins, Pierre moves swiftly and adeptly and slashes Stanton across the chest of his armor. Darrimus immediately shouts "BE CAREFUL PIERRE! HE WILL REDUCE YOUR PAY!" but then notices that Stanton appears to be unharmed. Stanton twirls his sword and does a thrust and hits Pierre on the shoulder in a nice clean pierce. Darrimus yells "BY THE PLATINUM DRAGON WHAT SLOPPY FORM!" At this point Pierre thrusts at Stanton and the sword hits the top of Stanton's thigh, starts to bend, then slides off to the left. Stanton moves in and makes a dramatic wide slice at Pierre and cuts through his chest like paper. Pierre collapses, but rolls to the side bleeding. Pierre then lunges forward, but seemingly slower than before and Stanton easily dodges. "He left himself wide open" and with that thought came the final blow across Pierre's back.
The announcer immediately yells "AND STANTON WINS. WHAT MAJESTIC FORM. WE ARE TRULY BLESSED TO SEE SUCH SKILL AND ACROBATICS."
Darrimus goes to Moran, “I hope he is furious. A cluttered mind leads to sloppy fighting.”
Darrimus puts his hand on Moran’s shoulder and pulls him close in a whisper, “My brother in arms. They will do whatever it takes for Stanton to win tomorrow. I can ask no more of you than your friendship but would you like to do one more mission with me? If not, I understand. If so, we need to head back to our disguise kits in the forest.”
“I appreciate that my friend but hopefully swords aren’t needed.” Darrimus says with a smile.
Darrimus says very hushed to Moran, “It will be a standard team reconnaissance operation. We will go back to the camp and change into civilian clothes. Lose the armor and weapons except for daggers and cloaks that can be hidden. We just want to blend in and not stand out at all. We’ll use the disguise kits to alter ourselves slightly so we are not recognized. We go in and have a pint and a bird and just listen to what folks are saying. Then we come back here and get to sleep on time. Sound good?”
Back at camp Darrimus moves quickly. He will hide his Rapier under his sleeping area for when he returns. He doffs his leather armor exchanging instead for his set of clothes. Normally these clothes are considered fancy so he will roll up the sleeves and unbutton them to make them as casual as he can. He shakes the dirt the best he can off his cloak so that it looks well worn but still attempts to be clean. Inside his cloak will he keep two daggers and that will be the only weapons on him. He takes with him 10 of his 15 gold pieces in a small pouch. He looks over himself making sure not scout emblems are anywhere on his clothing. He advises Moran to do the same.
He will use his Disguise Kit to further hide his face. He takes an eye patch out and places it over his left eye. He will then take dark blue cosmetics and make a bag under his right eye so it appears he is fairly tired. He will then take a red cosmetic and make his cheeks appear red from being wind or sunburn. He will also pull his hair back and hide it under a red bandana. Lastly, he will take a fake hoop earring and place it on his left ear. I advise Moran to do something similar.
Darrimus will then set off for the town and tavern casually to have a pint.

"Always. You have my sword. What is the plan."
“I appreciate that my friend but hopefully swords aren’t needed.” Darrimus says with a smile.
