Bendyn Human Fighter/Psion

Bendyn curses under his breath and pulls his lance as he charges the bowman to his left (2). "At them before they cut us down."

"Ah! Death, Disease and Decay!" Casparan mutters the names of the dread gods in a curse as he makes for the the man on their left (#2). He had been hoping to turn and flee, leaving the slower men on foot behind, but now, following Bendyn's lead, he charges their assailant hoping to overrun him, but doinghis best to brace himself should his horse fall under him.

ooc: Sorry about the delay in getting to this. Been a bit pushed at work and er, procrastinating. Sorry. A quick question. Do you realise that the [2] has a cliff to his rear and curving around to his left, and a large boulder on the right? Charging at him will leave you in rather a tight place?
 

Bendyn Human Fighter/Psion

OCC: Its a funny thing, the way mounted combat works Bendyn will actually stop his charge 10' in front of two, which isn't so bad. From there he still has options. At least that's the way I read it. Suggestions?
 

ooc: By the rules, your probably right. I haven't handled a horseback charge before. Lots of things in dnd don't make much sense - I just try and live with them. This one doesn't make sense in a big way. It seems to me you are going to need to be able to move past the target to make a mounted charge. You can move up to the target and strike at it, no problem. At least, thats the way it seems to me.

OOC: Mounted combat is perhaps the least logical and real-world oriented styles in the d20 rules. Let's risk the charge. Is the cliff up or down from our level?
 


ooc: Oops, I goofed. I meant to charge the one on the right closest to Casparan. I guess I had just read Scotley's post and accidentally typed what he had written. Is it too late to change? If so that's ok, I'll stick with my mistake.
 

November 13, in the clearing with bandits.

ooc: Bendyn will charge [2].

Casparen will attack [3] - both of you are unarmed at the moment as [3] has just shot his arrow (he's reaching for a new one now). I'll use an initiative roll (with some mods maybe) to see who's fastest if you want to try and out draw or manifest him. He's about 60 feet away, and standing in the trees somewhat. He has no real cover, but would be hard to run down (which is what I read your intention as being) as he could fairly easily step behind something like a tree. Let me know.
 

Casparan

Casparan races toward the bowman. He forms his mind blade, and will throw it at the man when he gets within range (30 ft). He will then try to form it again before he reaches the man. His intention is to stop his horse just before he reaches his attacker and leap off at him, hopefully slashing him with his blade. If he isn't able to reform his blade in time he will still try to jump on the man and tackle him.
