How's a 3? Is that a good roll for defense? It doesn't seem good.
After I take the hit, I'll try the sling again. 17 to hit, 7 damage.

Dedo's attempt at defence proves too little too late, as the spear strikes Dedo's left arm (12 damage). The strike spins Dedo back off his little bench seat. Both oarsmen now unable to row. Rahab throws a knife at one of the Minions, but it misses. Suddenly a strange sound is heard as a volley of arrows are released. The arrows sail over the top of the boat straight into the Hells Minions, some arrows miss their targets, but many do not. Two minions fall like bricks into the water and disappear. Yet another minion, hit by several arrows, flaps and falls dramatically into the water, and disappears under the water. The other Minions realising their numbers have been drastically reduced, turn tail and flee, injured and scared.
On the far bank to where you are heading are a group of soldiers armed with bows. Rahab shouts to the rest of you, "Its ok, their ours", she has a look of relief on her face. Scrambling over Cedric, and carefully moving Donald and Dedo out of the way, Tiggy and Mull take to the oars and begin to row with the finess of a first time rower.
Landing at the other side of the river, everyone scrambles to shore, and on to land once again. The soldiers call for their Captain. He quickly appears and dismounts from his horse, “who are these people” he asks in a stern voice. Rahab steps forward, removes the hood from her head, clearly revealing her face and hair. Immediately, the Captain comes to attention, salutes with his right arm across his chest and a quick bow of his head. “Major ! my apologies I did not recognise you”, as he addresses Rahab. “I am at your command”. Rahab calls for signallers, who appear quickly, Rahab sends messages by a couple of pigeons. Rahab orders loudly, “I want four men, and horses for everyone of my party. The four men to escort us to Arkala”. “I want you and the rest of your men to secure the bridge at Eastbridge, and prepare the defences there. I believe hostilities might be about to break out.” The Captain barks out the orders, and rides off with the majority of his men, leaving a detachment with horses. The men feed you all with rations and escort you to Arkala.
In Arkala you all get to meet the Bishop. You are all debriefed as to what happened to you, everyone is cared for, their needs met. The Dwarf family are found a home, and a new life. Donald get employment with the Bishop, under the care of the Monastic brothers. Not much is seen of Rahab, however, she appears from time to time in Military uniform of a Major.
The Bishop meets Tiggy, Dedo and Cedric. Informs them that "war will soon break out, and travelling in the countries surrounding Aramore (where you just escaped from) will likely be very dangerous. From what I understand, Major Rahab informs me that you are all good Christian men, and Cedric I have met already. I would suggest you make your journey back to England & Wales and avoid the conflict that will soon start. As good Christian men, I think I can trust you with this". The Bishops hands over a scroll. "You may follow this up yourselves, or if you prefer, please pass this on to the Bishop of Bath & Wells, the choice is yours. I hope and pray that what is mentioned in the scroll is found for the glory of Christendom, and not for personal gain. I will see that you are all given some money for the needs of your journey, along with some food, and any needs you may have. May God bless you all."
That evening an attack occurs at the crossing at Eastbridge, war is declared, and Sarn was able to make defence preparations just in time.
THE END.
