OOC: a couple of points: firstly, I like the way the game has started out [img]smile.gif[/img] . Nice intros from most of you! However, I would caution as to slaughtering NPC guards as though they were children; they're not. Please don't assume that just because you're an adventurer, they're worthless - if they were, they wouldn't be where they are today. I know that some wounds were taken during the batttle, but to everyone else, just a reminder that if you do get into melee combat, do take *some* wounds. I've no problems with you taking control of them, so long as you don't destroy them all instantly... and do give others a chance to fight/negotiate too. (The exception is Isokla - I'll control her, oh and as a sidenote, I liked the way you 'healed' her Shamrock [img]smile.gif[/img] )
I suppose all three 'bandit' guards are down now? From the numbers on your post Dalamar, I would assume so - I don't know if you gave this noble any guards, but the numbers indicated you had...
Aside from that, I'm pleased so far [img]smile.gif[/img] . Hope you're all having fun too!

Biting back a cry of pain, the young woman managed a feeble, grateful nod to Detheriel and whispered through watering eyes, "My thanks, kind lord." She swallowed, and smiled a little, shaking her head at her dress and sighing, "I'll have to fix that once we reach town..."

For some reason, the girl seemed more concerned with her dress than her wound. Upon closer inspection (Detheriel) the wound was not that serious, but serious enough to ensure a good deal of pain. As far as he could tell, it had not struck any vitals, but had pierced her a good way in, perhaps at a guess, half of the pike's head? Even so, she could still pass out from blood loss. Given her injury, she seemed remarkably... conversational. "Please, do not concern yourself with me further... I will be well, in time." Whatever Detheriel had done, it had seemed to ease the blood loss and she no longer bled as heavily.

~~~

The peasents on the road, (seven in total) upon seeing Narar's display of sheer physical prowess grew awed, wided eyed and proceeded to run off, three of them screaming the words 'monster', 'demon', and 'run for your lives!'
The remaining four took advantage of the situation and ran across the bridge as fast as they could - only to fall down in a heap, crumpled as a folly of arrows struck. From beyond the bridge, two bandit archers/snipers were concealed within the bushes and were raining down arrows thick and fast. They were reloading their bows after their first volly had devestated the peasents.

The three bandit gate guards with the pikes leveled them at Narar, angered by his reaction, the leader snarling, "'Ere now, ye got no all-fority ta do that! Pay ten silv'r for each, or it'll be ye head! Attackin' nobals is bad for business!"

It was clear who their target would be... Narar had split seconds to react, but would be unable to cross the bridge in time to reach them before they had each fired at least two arrows. (It was a long bridge). However, there was plenty of cover aviliable.

So far, the bandit archers were not interested in the wounded girl by the treestump, nor the others who had chosen to go to her aid.

OOC: Should the bandits fall, the three bandits each have a pouch on them, the leader of the three wearing two. Inside the leader's main pouch were five gold sovreigns and the second held seven silver pennies. The other two bandit pouches held together a handful of coppers (thirty copper pieces of varying sizes in all) and three silver crowns.
