IC: Hardnose and Chernguk both attacked in order to save the Union worker, and buying time for Stubby and Red to scramble away. Although they did not slay the giant roach, their blows chipped away at its shell (-4 hps to Roach 2).
The first roach was able to scramble back onto the walkway, about 10 feet behind the party, but was unable to do anything else this round.
The second snapped at Hardnose in retaliation, but it missed badly and only brushed against his boot.
The third roach went to help its buddy, snapping at Fergus, which tears a small flesh wound into the back of his weakly armored calf (-2 hps to Fergus).
Despite the wound, Fergus' axe continues its downward journey, impacting the second roach and killing it in an explosion of green bug pulp (-9 more hps to roach 2, -13 hps total, bug dead).
Needles moves next, a stone from his sling cutting into the third giant roach and tearing open a segment of carapice (-2 hps to Roach 3).
Finally, Pickwick engages with his longspear, stabbing the body, but not yet killing the creature. (-4 hps to Roach 3, -6 hps total).
Actions and rolls for round 3, please... still facing one injured and one uninjured giant roach.
