To all players -
The battle continues all around you.
Dorgath and Thedlyn fight back to back, taking out one bandit each.
Taranec swings his blade at the bandit leader, only to have it blocked. The bandit king then counters with a mighty strike to Taranec's belly, leaving a gaping wound. But!, he passes on by Taranec, leaving his back to him for a brief second, allowing for the back swing of Taranec's blade to take him down.
Another bandit charges at Stephen's back, but suddenly finds one of Jaspar's knives in his spine. He slumps off the horse to the ground.
The last bandit, seeing that it is now hopeless, turns to ride out of town. He gets to the wood's edge right before Nychus takes steady aim and cuts him down with an arrow.
To Taranec -
You are bleeding badly, but when you take a look at your wound you see that it is not so severe as to have spilled your intestines. You should be fine as long as you stop the bleeding quickly.
To Jaspar -
Stephen rides below the building you are on and calls up, "Well, good shot sir. Perhaps now we can have a talk and catch up on times passed."
To all players -
Most of the town is in flames, due to the bandits. All of the city gaurd died in the fight, and none of the town's inhabitants are left. Looking up the hilly road west, it seems that they continued to flee, and are now out of sight. All of you are the only one's left in the otherwise deserted village of Reedton.
