Tralin, Jorum and Castus go up against the Mosquitoes and get stung!
Castus woo's the crowd with his weapons drill... however the Mosquitoes sorta does one better. Two are able to please the crowd with their weapon fanfare... though another of their troupe drops his weapon in an embarrasing manuver.
The battle commences.. although Castus gets the first successful attack... a trip upon one of the halflings. The slippery gnats quickly gain the upper hand. Several decisive strikes... a few well placed between the back of the ribs and under the scrotum... bring Tralin to the brink of unconsciousness. His last action is to wound one of his flankers.. and bring him down to the ground. Castus finishes him off.. and generally evens the odds 2 vs. 3. Jorum's inexperience shows as he goes toe to to with another of the hins.. taking some damage and inflicting none in return.
Castus truly evens the odds with another strike of his flail... however the two remaining hins go unharmed thru the entire match.. taking down first Jorum with their circling and swarming tactics and then Castus himself. Both victims of being harried on opposites sides and suffering numerous sneak attacks.
Hurraah for the spunky swords of the halfling swarm! They win the day... sadly they lose one of their members for good... though everyone else is saved by the gladiatorial clerical cures.
