Seeing the half elf step in front of their intended target the twins will swivel their heads around the camp and search for whoever threw the dagger.
Investigation: 19
Their eyes eventually come upon Silent Blade, who’d been caught out of hiding after throwing the dagger. Damia will hold her action, sheathing her sword and pulling out a hand crossbow instead. She has it aimed directly at the head of Ketch as she screams, “The Kenku Ratka! They attacked Father!” She turns back and watches you all with a glare then says with a tone of anger tinging her voice, “We didn’t want to fight but you drew blood first”. You all then see Ratka cry out angrily and rush the Kenku, using 25ft. of his movement to do so, with a scimitar and dagger in his hands. He will then take two scimitar attacks aimed at the Kenku’s head, then taking a stab in the gut with his dagger. (Bandit Captain Multi-attack).
Scimitar Attack 1: 6 Attack 1 Damage:5
Scimitar Attack 2: 7 Attack 2 Damage:6
Dagger Attack:13 Dagger Damage:2
Ratka moves out of view of most of you as he rushes towards the carts, but Tahnis you just barely catch the attack on your Kenku companion. You see her duck under the first attack but fails to dodge the second swing as well, the blade instead cutting into the side of the rogue. He follows it up by digging his dagger as deep as he can into the gut of the small bird. He grits his teeth in anger after heavily wounding the black feathered Kenku.
Gadhan you’ve been enjoying some private time with the Vistani woman who’d introduced herself earlier in the night. It’d been a very energetic and loud affair, you’d both been enjoying yourselves when you suddenly hear a screaming female voice shout about a Kenku attacking someone’s father. You hear the clanging of blades and the sounds of a commotion outside. It definitely catches your attention but Minerva will put a hand to your face and say, “Why’ve you stopped love muffin?” She will then try to bring you into a kiss. (She hasn’t noticed)
(Gadhan, your up. You have the same initiative as Ratka so the attack still happens. After Gadhan we have Silent Blade, then Gekk.)
Not saying a word Gadhan grabs his rapier and gets up. He uses all his movement (I assume, 15 to get up, and between 15-45 to get to everything.) Once there naked as the day he was born he yells "What in the hells is going on here."
(Correct, Gadhan may use a dash action to move another thirty feet towards the main campsite. It will bring him to just about entering the battlemap essentially, though you do now see the goings on of the current situation. Stanimir bleeding on the ground, your wounded Kenku and Half Orc companions, but there isn’t a current active combat. The Vistani just seem to be staring the party down for now. The only aggression Gadhan would notice immediately is Ratka attacking SB I believe)
Rushing to the sounds of battle Gadhan you find the chaos taking place in the main campsite, and at your roar you see the heads of two identical looking twins swivel towards you. The female twin shouts to you, “Your companions drew first blood after we’d invited them into our company with open arms, what of you Goliath? Will you join them in their betrayal?” As she says this she turns her head, though when her eyes finally land on Gadhan you all see a slight look of confusion and a small smile appear, “Of course he’s naked, goddammit Minerva.” At this you then notice the petite form of Minerva appear at your side Gadhan, with only a blanket covering her form. Her hair is messy, she looks entirely disheveled and shocked at the events around her. “What in the hell happened? I swear I can’t enjoy myself for 10 minutes without Ratka having to prove he has the biggest sword in the room...It’s honestly overcompensating Rat, you should work on that!”
You then see Ratka; who’d been pointing his blades directly at the Kenku after attacking her, shout out, “They attacked Stanimir Minerva! Sorry if I want to protect my family from f***ing mercenaries sent to kill us!”
(SB should still have 3hp if her HP was at 10 so she’s up next, after her we have Gekk)
“Gadhan please don’t hurt anyone!” Gekks quickly looks across everyone ”Please! Please! Let us stop this nonsense I don’t want anyone else to get hurt.” Gekks grabs Ketch’s wrist, not forcefully but with what would feel like desperation. When Gekks touches Ketch, he would fell a shock of electricity fly through him and these small boney hands on his wrist. For those who can see, you would see panic and fear across the goblin’s face. ”Please this is all just a terrible terrible misunderstanding” Gekks sounds desperate, his voice cracks as he speaks. That is his turn when it comes around to it

As Gekk begins to beg for an end to the potential conflict you all hear Stanimir yell weakly from his position on the ground, his hand holding the dagger in his side. “Lay down your blades! There is no need for more bloodshed!” You then see him violently cough from the effort, his body locking to the side as he throws up blood. At this you see many of the Vistani lower the weapons slightly, eyes no longer looking to you in anger but to the old storyteller with genuine worry. Damia sheathes her hand crossbow and rushes to support her father on the ground, holding him steady as old man wobbles unevenly after spitting up blood. You hear her mutter to him in a foreign but pleasant sounding language with a concerned look on her face. You then see her try to get Stanimir to lay flat on the ground. Ratka will stand looking over the heavily wounded Kenku at his feet, however without a seconds delay after seeing Stanimir almost fall he will also rush over (Disengage so no opportunity attack) to his side. Seeing his sister take charge he stands over them for a second with a panicked look on his face, muttering rapidly in the same foreign language to Damia on the ground. He then suddenly looks up and shouts with nervous energy in Common, “Minerva! Heal my father!” Minerva seems to shake her head at the sudden and terrifying confrontation she’s walked in on. But she’d also had a look of worry appear on her face once noticing that Stanimir was heavily hurt. She immediately drops her blanket covering her body, and naked as the day she was born, rushes over across the campsite to Stanimir’s body being held by Damia. She gets on her knees atop the grassy field, and places her hands on the handle of the dagger. “Hold him tight, this will hurt.” She then yanks the dagger from Stanimir’s gut, the blood spraying all across her nude form. She quickly moves to place both hands over the gushing wound, closing her eyes and muttering once again in that foreign language. Light shines beneath her palms with an almost dim purple glow as she does so. Stanimir’s breathing begins to steady and you no longer see the pool of blood underneath him expand as both the twins barrage the old man after with questions, asking if he feels okay. Minerva will take a deep breathe, removing her hands from the wound, before getting up and turning to the rest of the party, her naked form bathed in blood visible to all. She looks to you all before saying with what seems to be an annoyed tone, ”What the hell happened while we were gone? And why are we battling with adventurers that were supposed to help us?” At the last question she gives everyone, not just the party, a look of confusion and frustration. The rest of the Vistani do not answer her immediately, their eyes still looking to the party with a nervous energy. They do not appear immediately combative however, though there are still two Vistani who have crossbows trained on the forms of both Silent Blade and Ketch.
Nothing has changed for Ketch except he was attacked with fireboat and an arrow, brought to deaths door from he knows not who. Ketch continues shouting curses and insults about the mother's and ancestry of the Vistani while he strikes out blindly at any and all within his reach. I believe V3, Tahnis and Gekk are all in close range to Ketch and as he cannot tell one from the other (and doesn't even really know any are there) then they would be the most likely to be swung at...
Noticing Ketch continue his rampage you all see Damia raise a hand in his direction and mutter a string of words under her breathe. Blood runs down her nose in a large flow as she appears to strain under the intense strain of the incantation. (Ketch’s hearing returns, though he is still blind).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
V3 Dex Save:20
Ketch Warhammer Damage: 10
Ketch your hearing returns to you just in time to hear your Warhammer connect with force, the scream of pain being a telltale sign of a hit. There’s a loud crunch of bone cracking from the attack, the rest of the party seeing Ketch land a heavy hit on the Vistani who’d been surprise attacked before. His chest appears caved in, blood pouring in a puddle around him and he doesn’t appear to be breathing anymore. Seeing Ketch take down one of their own, the two Vistani who’d had their crossbows out will react in shock seeing a companion lose their life. Both take shots aimed at the raging Half Orc. V1 Crossbow:7 Damage:7
V2 Crossbow:15
Damage:4
(Gekk make a Dex Save to dodge the wild, blind swings of Ketch’s Warhammer)
Gekks tugs on the arm of Ketch “Come on! Come on! Stop this nonsense please. Does anyone have any bindings or something since we can’t get through to him?”

Tahnis is going to run over to Silent Blade in hopes of stablizing him. "I'll tye him up after we heal him. As soon as this is all over, we're going to have a nice long talk."

Ketch is still blinded so V1 should roll again as he would have advantage... Though not much matter as Ketch has fallen to 0 HP.
Since we're outside of initiative, not taking our turns as such, not sure how Death Saving Throws go so I'll just roll a bunch and you can determine when to use them?
Two crossbow bolts fly into the large form of Ketch, one striking him in the shoulder and the other digging itself in near his ribs. The force of the blows drop him to the ground and the entire Vistani camp draws their weapons in panic. They allow Tahnis however the chance to run over and stabilize their companion as Minerva herself rushes to go check on the Vistani who’d been hit by the large Warhammer. You’d all see her close her eyes and perform the same magic from before with Stanimir, and after she goes to check for a pulse. She mutters to herself, “Come on..Come on... Your fine Elliot, getup! Why’s it not working?!” This continues as she seems to once again attempt to cast the spell, but for even those not medically trained it’d by easy by now to see that the Vistani man was fully dead. You’d all hear and see Minerva give a broken and genuine sob of grief over the dead body of the Vistani killed by Ketch once realizing the healing magic was not talking hold. The rest of Vistani come out of the shadows and into the main light of the campfire. Their faces look raw with emotion as they all stare at the dead body being held by Minerva. In their shock some have even dropped their weapons, a human Vistani woman in particular with delicate features walks forward with her eyes locked onto the form of the dead man. Her hands shake as she moves hair from the face, tears rolling down her cheek as she moves beside the sobbing form of Minerva. Stanimir has turned away from you all, his frail form rocks with emotion as you can hear the quickened breaths of someone in panic. Damia and Ratka look completely shocked, appearing as still statues locked onto staring at the corpse.
Seeing the half elf step in front of their intended target the twins will swivel their heads around the camp and search for whoever threw the dagger.
