Its not elegant, but Bendyn finds his target with the lance and punches through the man's shoulder. Bendyn manages to bring his mount to a skidding to a halt before slamming into the cliff. When her turns around, he sees the arse of bandit [2] scrambling and stumbling away on his hands and knees leaving a bloody trail along the side of the giant rock [southwards]. He's obviously heading for the narrow gap at the south end the protective scrubby bush there. The bandit's bow lies abandoned on the ground.Casparen wheels the other way, forming his mind blade as he spurs his pony across the clearing. Bandit [3] fumbles for another arrow. As he gets it up to his bow, Casparen figures its now or never and tosses the blade. It flashes across the clearing and buries itself into the tree beside the bandit, before fading from sight. The bandit leers at Casparen, pulls back and releases. The shot is good, but Casparen's armour takes the brunt of the blow, and the gash isn't going to cause Casparen any real problems.The bandit's grin fades a little as Casparen rides his pony straight at the man.Erik lets out a cry."With me Lirithan! With me! For Honour!"Erik pulls his battle axe as he charges towards the bandit leader. The bandit shifts his grip on the spear, but holds his ground. When Erik is about 40 feet from his target, the bandit leaders leaps forwards and hurls his spear at Erik. There is a sicken crunch as the spear punches through Erik's armour. Erik rocks back before regaining his seat and the battle axe flashes but when Erik pulls up a little past the bandit leader, the man is still standing.Lirithan, kicks his horse forwards weakly. He clutches at the arrow sticking out of him. He seems dazed, uncertain as to what the bandit leader is doing. Suddenly there is a faint sound of distant howling on the breeze. The bandit leader crumples and falls to the ground.You hear the distinctive slap of crossbow release and a heavy quarrel sprouts out of Erik's back. Erik slips slowly from his saddle and crashes to the ground. The shooter drops his crossbow with a cry and runs towards the faller leader, pulling a long knife (shortsword) as he runs."Hoodle! Sweet mother they killed Hoodle! No!"Crunch:Bendyn vs B2: 12 (5+5+2) vs 7 (3+4) = Dam +5+8+3+4-2 = 18 wounds* B2 has lost 18 pips and is Hurting (-4 to rolls).Casparen vs B3: 14 (10+4) vs 16 (12+4) = miss.B3 vs Casparen: 14 (10+4) vs 11 (7+4) = Dam +3+6-5 = 4 wounds.* Casparen has lost 4 pips and is lightly wounded (no penalty to rolls)B1 vs Erik: 22 (20+2) vs 13 (10+4-1) = Dam +9+5+2-7 = 9 wounds* Erik has lost 17 pips and is Seriously wounded (-2 to rolls).Erik vs B1: 15 (10+5+2-2) vs 22 (20+2) = miss.Lirithan vs B1: Mind Thrust, 3 PP spent, 3d10, DC 15+1.* Will Save 14+1 vs DC 16.
