OOC: Not sure if it is possible for Briar to take back her shot on EG2 so @DM call! In her mind a combatant yields/surrenders rather than runs away to possibly bring more of his fellows down on the group when it suits him especially after just being healed.
The Captain and his men were given an opportunity to parley and EG2 after being healed had the option of dropping his arms and surrendering but chose not to. As well, Briar chose to target EG2 as he was moving away from her friends, and she would not have to worry about firing into a crowd and accidentally hitting her own!
But with respectto Priton if it is possible for his above wave to come in time for to Briar to jerk her hand upward for the bolt to fly harmlessly up in the air then alright she will try. But if the warning wave comes too late, well that is the DM's Call and Briar was being practical, not merely bloodthirsty in her reasoning!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Since you were back in the cart away from Priton and technically would go first in initiative I would say he doesn’t get to you in time. I was having everyone post at once for convenience sake because the order was back and forth, clumped together. And it makes sense she would still fire at him)
EG 2 fleeing from the scene gets blasted in the back by Briar’s fire blast. Sending him to his hands and knees before continuing his escape.
Ragnir - with renewed vigor, you raise your sword high and bring it down. EG 3 tries to stop it instinctively, but you cut through his arm and crack though the collar bone before seeing his eyes go grey. Kicking him off of your sword you turn to see..
Hermenor laying an assault as previously mentioned.
as well as Priton’s boar trying to back up for another attack: (captain takes an attack of opportunity) swinging at the beast: Attack: 9 Damage: 9
The boar squeals as it runs from the pain before it charges back and gores the captain. (Strength save) 7
knocking him prone before the spiritual weapon fires off with a cacophonous sound. Upon a second glance you see the Captain face down in a pool of his own blood. Not moving.
Priton goes chasing after EG 2,making some ground on him (about 20 feet away)
(Combat over and out of initiative, there is EG2 jogging away, EG 1 is also crippled on the battlefield.... also like 5 other bodies.)
Briar quickly grabs her pack and pulls out her Healer's Kit and rushes to the Captain first followed by... one by one, all the men under his command (based on proximity to the Captain) checking to see who Briar might be able to stabilize and do all she can to prevent them from dying!
Those too far gone to save, i.e. already dead she will efficiently move on to the next one... again one by one until each and every one of them has been checked! Anyone whom she manages to stabilize note that as a precaution Briar will disarm and remove their weapons, just in case! After medical attention is given then she will look to do doing any sort of questioning etc.
The “bandit” looks up to Ragnir in disbelief. “Say for ourselves? Say for ourselves? If I remember correctly it’s you and your company that attacked us without saying a word. We were trying to defend ourselves. I don’t see your friends dead on the ground!”
Blood is trickling from his narrow and long nose. One eye swollen shut. His usually amber hair is matted with soil and blood.
Briar overhears the wounded man speaking to Ragnir but ignores him for now, no time for debate and instead, Briar concentrates fully on doing what she is doing to save any lives in the here and now!
OOC:Reference Posts#147#160 and #161 for Briar's thoughts concerning who fired the first shot and who drew first blood and who attempted to parley for peace but was rebuffed! Though Briar shed blood and most likely killed, we will see who can be saved and not but Briar did so only in self-defense not out of wanton violence or acted rashly without thinking... so Briar may share a portion in the blame perhaps but her conscience is clear that she attempted to stop the violence and acted rationally given the situation.
Ragnir: (to the bandit) "Thats correct, and then i asked you all to stop and we can try resolving this peacefully, and then you all attacked me. Besides you would stop your attacks short of murder? i think not."

DMing "Gallia Campaign 1".
Looking for a new game, if you need a player private message me.
EG 2 is about forty feet from Hermenor, traveling north towards the bridge (now that the area is clear, you can see that they were blockading a bridge that crosses a river, the bridge is set between the two trees). Priton is in between them at the 20 ft halfway mark. Ragnir is about 10 feet south east of Hermenor. Briar is 20-25 feet south of everyone by the wagon.
Priton will yell to EG2 "Come back sir, we will not hurt you and will release you once we are done asking what happened." Priton says then jogs back to the group "You shot a crossbolt arrow towards us and we tried to ask to stop, granted our friend did chuck a nail at one of your kin, but you did sort of scare us, especially with the fact you were hiding in the trees." He will then bring over everyone that's alive and get them in one area

If EG2 does not heed Priton’s warning/request, then Hermenor will run towards him with his 45ft movement and try to bring him back by force. He will do this by trying to knock him out (non-lethal damage) and then drag him.
EG2 continues to hobble away, Hermenor easily catches up to him and with a quick hit to the back of the head, knocks him out. Dragging him back to the group, dropping him next to EG1.
(By this time the only thing that can save the others is revivify. If someone can get to the captain in six seconds, he can still be stabilized.)
Priton rushes over and lays his hand on the chest of the Captain to heal him. A moment later a gasp of air as he sits up quickly to look around and take in what is happening. He looks over to see Hermenor with two of his men being kept alive as well.
At this moment, Briar comes over and sweeps the weapons away, not knowing the future motives of your previous foe.
(Dice roller not working, rolling out of thread)
the Captain looks around slightly befuddled, “what do you want of us? Whatever it is, spare my men.... orders are orders”
"I understand that sir, been in the military myself. But we also gotta defend ourselves and if yalls could tell us what your doing hiding in the trees waiting for travelers to come by. Then well let all of you go" Priton says "If were on the same path we might be able to assist you in bringing your dead back." He says as brings the captain over to the rest of them

He looks up, wincing at the pain as he sits up. “We’re part of the Vorel Wood Company. Our company is responsible for the timber trade in the area and out to the East, mostly. We built this bridge and were tasked to take a collection fee for its use. Seeing how it was built with our time and resources. Didn’t mind the gig too much, it was quiet and easy work until you lot showed up.”
Ragnir: (to the Vorel Wood Company workers) "If you are as innocent as you say, why didn't you stop attacking? do you fight to the death at every sleight?"
Hermenor is staying silent for now. There might be a bit of doubt in his mind on whether the reactive throw of that initial iron nail caused a huge misunderstanding. But he is still skeptical of this lot, so he is not feeling guilty.
Well The bosses have been breathing down our necks lately. They think we or the travelers are skimmin’ because profits are down. We had an agreement with that camp who do a lot of trade through these roads, but they haven’t been moving their products as of late. Less trade means less traffic which means less for us. Corporate recently said to lay down the law to make sure people think we haven’t gone soft. The Captain hesitantly motions for himself to go check on his men, that are still alive. The ferocity behind his eyes has faded, it appears he has genuine concern for his men. He seems passed trying to resist.
