Grimacing in pain from the devastating attack, Thomas pulls back on the reins of the well trained mount rising onto it’s hind legs the warhorse lashes out at the master with both hooves and it’s bite. Unfortunately, neither Thomas' sword or his mount's fearsome attacks connect with the man before him.
Seeing the predicament that his vassal finds himself in, Jebediah swiftly changes tack, pointing his finger at the master Jebediah taps into his psionic reservoir and fires a ray of electricity at his foe. The ray connects, and the Master cries out in pain as he is jolted by the electrical attack.
Sir Merrick focuses his will and bears down against the magic pinning him, sweat beading his brow from the effort. By sheer force of will, he forces his body to move, shattering the evil spell that held him.
Once the lieutenant falls, Zirat thanks Aeron for the healing, he then goes to intercept the other bandit. On the way he steps on the groin of the lieutenant's fallen body. Zirat swings his chain as he closes, but his aim is off and the weapon throws up dust as it slashes into the dirt road.
Deren grimaces as he sees the pain of Thomas and is glad he wasn't the target for that attack. He finds another dagger and whips it at the Master, but the man sidesteps at the last minute and the blade goes twirling past his head.
The bandit Zirat meant to strike whirls about and steps toward the Champion, striking out with his longsword as he does so. The blade strikes true, plunging into Zirat’s chest. But even as Zirat’s eyes begin to roll up into his head and his legs start to collapse, Aeron is there with a prayer to the Shining One, healing Zirat once more. Bringing his steed forward a bit, the cleric tells the warrior,
"Step behind me if you must. I can handle him for a moment.”
Seeing Zirat is in dire straits, Ciaran again fires his crossbow. Again, the wizard’s aim is dead on, and his bolt pierces the bandit through the neck.
The Master casts yet another spell while avoiding Thomas’ attacks. A feeling of utter fear and panic overcomes the Thomas, and he finds himself fleeing away from the battle.
