Lazlo offers a gap toothed grin up "If you think it best, lord. I've taken a beating before but not from so noble a kind as your own" and bows as low as he can, attempting to manufacture a fart as he does.
Aelar thanks his friend but gently pushes him aside and resumes his ready stance.
"Are you sure, Aelar? If that's your choice, I can't stop you, but you don't have to do this." He looks at the centaur. "Neither of you has to do this."
" Aelar- remember the story of the boy shepherd, FInlan who felled the three headed giant with only a sling and five smooth stones polished by the river" Lazlo feebly attempts to inspire his friend.

Hyre moves back, leaving Aelar at the front. As he passes by him, he whispers: "You don't have to win. Just don't get up, even if you can. We're better off getting this over with quickly so we can sleep the night behind the walls of Guiston."

(If he failed, he would have just let Jerren kick the crap outta Aelar... literally XD)
(Also, welcome to KJ's custom homebrew brawling system! Because brawling isn't lethal combat, and to simulate the chaos and fast pace of a street fight fueled by anger, here's how brawls are won and lost. (This system will also be used if you choose to have your character participate in pit fighting)
Both fighters will roll 5 times. You apply your STR AND DEX bonuses together to hit, because while it's good to be strong or fast in a fight, it's best if you're strong AND fast. Whoever hits more often then rolls 2D6+ the number of hits you have over your opponent. In the case of a tie, whoever hit 'harder' (Beat their opponent's AC by more) gets the win. Whoever lost the exchange then needs to make a CON saving throw equal or greater to what the winner rolled on their 2D6+wins to stay standing. If they fail their saving throw, they will then have been knocked down and need to roll to save again. Fail that, and the downed fighter can't get up. If they DO get up, they will have disadvantage for the rest of the fight on all their rolls. If you hit all your rolls but your opponent misses all of theirs, your character scores an instant knock out.
Jerren has an AC of 10 and +2 to hit with his strength and dex.)
Jerren cracks his knuckles and steps forward, a cocky smile on his face.
"Should have just kept your little peck mouth shut." he says, and rushes forward.

Aelar, surprised at his own prowess, cautions himself against overconfidence. He dances around, not wasting breath on words, then pounces...or hopes he does.

Jerren's head snaps back and forth from Aelar's assault. Every time Jerren swings wild, it goes soaring over Aelar's head, only to be rewarded by another crack in the jaw. The other centaurs' mouths go slack as they watch the slugfest. A two foot is standing his ground against a centaur. He's not allowed to kick, sure, but Aelar is giving up so much in weight.... but Jerren's weight advantage is useless if all he does is swat at air!
"******* stay still!" he curses before he catches another fist right in the nose which makes him stagger backwards.
Jerren stays standing, just barely. He lets out a furious yell and charges in again, sounding like a caged animal with every swing!
Jerren's exchanges: 46363
Jerren screams with frustration as he misses again and again, each blow strong as ever, but completely ineffective! The centaurs are starting to get... really uncomfortable with watching. They look as if they're witnessing something IMPOSSIBLE.
This time, Jerren does NOT get his CON bonus to save. He's been staggered twice, now he's running on fumes.

Aelar waits the charge patiently, his confidence growing. As the enraged centaur moves in, the young elf dances to the side, his fists flailing, putting all his strength to the blows.

Jerren's CON save: 6
Jerren is down!
Jerren's second CON save: 1
Jerren catches what WOULD have been just a stomach hit on a human, but when Aelar hits him around where his horse body would attach to his human upper half, Jerren drops like a sack of potatoes, clutching himself there and howling in agony.
"*******.... ******* two-foot peck!" he groans out. All the other male centaurs in the herd wince and cringe.
"Outrage! HOW DARE YOU!" Halgrave snarls and charges forward!
Aelar thanks his friend but gently pushes him aside and resumes his ready stance.
