@dungeons With Dreambones at a decent 83% HP and given their strength, a melee attack is the sensible choice. Ranged with a melee fighter is suboptimal, especially with improvised weapons. Unarmed is weak compared to their battleaxe. Running has its place, but not when you've got the upper hand. Stick to the strengths—go in with the battleaxe swinging. Remember, the Swarm's CR is low, and the reward is decent. Keep it simple, strike hard. ⚔️ Melee, one-handed [1d8] ⬇️ is your best bet.
