Medard stiffens as the poison takes effect, dealing 11 poison damage to the halfling.
His attacker is jolted and singed by the electric energy that Nicolas shot at it, but it stays alive and waits to see what effect its poison has.
Meanwhile, the centipedes on the right continue forward into the hall. One attacks the female halfling archer. Attack: 24 Damage: 7 While two more centipedes attack the halfling spearman adjacent to you. Attack: 12 Damage: 6, Attack: 18 Damage: 4
The centipede in front of you turns to bite you, Aluzira, but before it does, a halfling spearwoman immediately to your left takes a stab it. Attack: 17 Damage: 4
The female halfling ("H3" on the map below) grits her teeth as her body absorbs and neutralizes the poison. Her wound from the centipede bite is grievous indeed.
Aluzira, there are four centipedes left, two wounded, two unharmed. It's your turn again. What do you do?
(OOC - no stress on the low combat for a while. We've had some close encounters that could have gone sideways anyways! And all good for the readied attack, I wasn't sure so I posted it just in case.)

The remains of a centipede that litter the floor in front of you throw off your footing, causing your first attack to miss, but your off-hand attack stabs the writhing arthropod, leaving it injured but still alive.
Torrent pushes forward around the halflings, and a thorny vine grows from his staff which he uses to whip another centipede in front of him. Attack: 14 Damage: 1

Anakis weasels her way into a position to get a clear shot. She forms a mote of fire to form in her palm, then throws it at one of the centipedes, then slinks back.
As the mote of fire leaves your hand, Anakis, it collides with Tarek and singes his tunic, but his chainmail protects him from harm.
Ash leaves off examining the wall for secret doors, realizing the party is under attack. "Medard!" he cries out as he sees the halfling fall, and he fires an [spell[eldritch blast[/spell] through the crowd at the centipede that killed the spearman. Attack: 15 Damage: 3
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ash's energy beam also collides with Tarek and again bounces off his armor which smokes and crackles with blue electricity. Seeing how difficult it is to get a shot at the centipedes from the rear of the group, Ash presses forward, spear in hand.
"Medard, Uffo!" Remacle yells in surprise at seeing his comrades fall. "My sister-sons! To the attack, shirelings! For Medard and Uffo!" and he and the other halflings crowd forward, attacking the centipedes. A halfling spearmaiden moves through your space, Aluzira, giving a centipede the opportunity to attack her as she tries to move to the right around the one in front of you. Attack: 21 Damage: 4
The two halfling slingers step back into the middle of the hall, watching the melee for an opening.
The halfling archer attacks the centipede in front of Torrent with her shortsword. Attack: 22 Damage: 3
A halfling spearman attacks the centipede that killed Medard. Attack: 14 Damage: 7
A halfling with a sword attacks the centipede in front of the archer. Attack: 9 Damage: 4

Remacle's sword decapitates the centipede that killed Medard, and he turns to face the one on the other side of him.
H11's sling stone hits the centipede in front of Torrent and kills it. The centipede in front of the archer, however, dodges the stone that was aimed at it, and it clatters down the hall.
Tarek moves forward, past Torrent, drawing his sword, and gets in between the two remaining centipedes, striking at the one in front of Aluzira. Attack: 21 Damage: 10
Nicolas brings down sacred flame on the centipede in front of the archer, and it tries to avoid being engulfed in radiant energy. Dexterity save: 15
Aluzira let’s out a curse as she watches the spearmaiden fall. “I’m tired of losing people!” She yells charging the centipede driving both daggers in almost simultaneously.
Your daggers slice through the last centipede, cutting it in pieces.
The hall is now quiet, with the only sound being that of the running water of the river down at the end of the hall. Tarek picks up his javelin as everyone collects their packs and belongings.
Remacle and the remaining halflings arrange the bodies of their fallen comrades with their weapons. "Medard, Uffo, and Rothaide, your memories will live on in our hearts," he says solemnly and then turns his thoughts to more practical matters. "What of the treasure they were carrying? We'll have to redistribute it."
In the sacks the three halflings were carrying is nearly thirty pounds of coins.
“I’m sorry for your losses,” Aluzira says quietly after putting away her daggers. “I don’t have much on me weight wise if anyone needs help carrying anything.”
While they are already encumbered by the weight they're carrying, Ash and Tarek each have room in their packs for more coins and split the extra weight evenly with the six halflings.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Anakis bows her head as Remacle and the remaining halflings say their goodbyes. As the others sort out the coins, she returns to the door to once again see if she can hear anything, though worries that their brief encounter might have alerted anything on the other side (Perception: 13).
She then tries to quietly open the door, just a crack, to peek inside (Sleight of Hand: 11).

The female spear-halfling's shaft pierces the carapace of the centipede that threatens you, Aluzira, and it dies, squirming in agony.
The female halfling ("H3" on the map below) grits her teeth as her body absorbs and neutralizes the poison. Her wound from the centipede bite is grievous indeed.

The last centipede remaining bears an oozing wound from Aluzira's dagger. Wisdom save: 18
The centipede fights on, however, hoping to gain a delicious meal after all, and strikes back at Tarek. Attack: 14 Damage: 5

What do you do once everyone's ready to go?
