Legend
Lucann jumps on the horse behind Dame Naquel, grabbing her about the waist in order to brace his impact. In elvish he whispers, "I shall tell him you fought with the heart of an elf - when you surrender me to his custody." He drifts and to common and speaks aloud so all the knights can hear him: "Besides I could never speak the words 'Be brave and scorn all cowardice' if I did not live by them."
You can have 1 preparation for that Bolster. Spend it on this fight for any one roll.
An affirming cheer resounds through the small group at your words and they say in unison "Be brave and scorn all cowardice!" The downed knight defiantly picks his battered body off the ground and pats the side of his dead horse. Spitting blood he says, "If we die today, the Storm Lord will tell of our glory in a thunderous ballad over the city."
A smile creases Dame Naquel's face and she whispers to you, "Well spoken." Before she drops her visor she says to the remaining knight, "Sir Baumgartner, Sir Adler's trusted steed has fallen but he yet draws breath. Speed him to the enemy." Her head swivels to the back of the wagon, "Andor, ready your bow and take out those archers." Looking at the few laborers she says, "The rest of you...heed Lucann's words..."
As he looks upon the battlefield that is to come Lucann receives a vision from Sehanine - Dame Naquel is standing atop the Arms Master with blood on her sword and a single tear on her cheek.
The Lady Knight pivots the horse, readies her sword, and charges you both headlong into the staggered line of oncoming men. She is aiming directly for the Arms Master and his flanking infantry. One of the archers manages to get his bow up before you cross his face. Before he can let fly his arrow, another buries deeply in his chest, taking him from his horse.
As your charge sets you upon the men, a sound begins in her throat and it turns into a thunderclap "aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAH!" When you can see the whites of their eyes (near), one of the two flanking infantry pulls a throwing dagger from his boot and chucks it end over end at you on the back of the horse.
The two men are within Reach of each other and Arms Master Dunderman. In order to get up close and personal and put that blade to work (H&S) you're going to have to Defy some Danger first! On a 7-9, either the horse eats the throwing dagger or you're good but tell me something about the terrain that may turn into an immediate problem for you.
