Vex's enemy waves his longsword threateningly before spitting and jogging towards Daven and his last pup.
***
Gemma, the last of her litter, tears into Daven's leg this time, paying no heed to his flailing knife. She latches onto it tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much the bowman tries to cut or shake her off. The pain is so terrible, he cries out against his will. And then suddenly she lets go, flopping on her side, her legs kicking at the air, an arrow sticking in her back. She's still alive, but in as much pain as Daven and too distracted to attack.
Someone screams in Daven's direction. Before him stands the man in chainmail, furious and in peak fighting condition. It's probably okay that Daven may never run again, since he is unlikely to breathe for much longer either.
(Tim is awarded +1 to Archery. Daven recieves another Heavy Wound, placing his health at -70. He recieves a permanent limp.)
***
Somehow, impossibly, absurdly, through some indescribable act of acrobatics, Alyn Redhands manages to land a cut across the side of his enemy's sword arm. Cyrus's attacks will come more slowly now thanks to the aid of whatever mad and ruthless god has ordained Alyn Redhands his tool on earth.
(Medium Wound to Cyrus, setting him at -55.)

Daven collapses to his knees and smiles weakly at the chainmail fuck before spitting blood onto the guy’s pants. He takes his knife and tries to drive it into the large guy's belly using the full weight of his body to push it in.

Harlan's crassness earns him a punch courtesy of a fist the size of his skull, which he barely manages to dodge. Barley's survival instinct compels her to keep from getting too close, even knowing what a serious injury she has already landed. Fortunately, the motherless child is far more interested in wreaking havoc on the foul-mouthed lothario, offering her a second opening. Her blades find a tender spot a second major artery under his armpit. He grasps it with his other arm, and cries out for his father as blood flows down his body.
(Barley deals another Heavy Wound to Leo.)

Pleased by his success in dealing with the dog, Tim continued his mission of saving Daven's life by shooting another arrow, this time at the man in mail. He thought it was worth getting one more arrow off and then, if need be, he'd charge the enemy with his spear.

Cyrus's attacks will come more slowly now thanks to the aid of whatever mad and ruthless god has ordained Alyn Redhands his tool on earth. (Medium Wound to Cyrus, setting him at -55.) Alyn drew back his lips in a silent snarl as he directed his own mount as close to possible to Cyrus' horse. If he could get close enough to him, he would launch himself at the man and use his knife to better effect.

Vex pursues and attempts to spear her fleeing enemy before he can strike at the injured bowman. But then Fenton does something even he wasn't prepared for. As the speartip is about to make contact with his head, Fenton ducks, rolls forward along the side of the horse, and with a mindlessly gliding sword, lands a deep and long gash across Vex's left leg while simultaneously and unknowingly dodging an arrow from Tim.
(Fenton lands Heavy Wound on Vex, who is now at -35.)
***
For some reason completely unknown to Donal, Alyn flings himself off his horse onto his belly on the muddy ground. His horse rides on confusedly without him. Alyn lifts his head from the filth to see Donal decicisively plunge his sword into the other man's gut. Cyrus looks down at his wound with a look of dire horror and immediately abandons the fight to gallop towards the house, abandoning his apparently more capable brother to the intruders.
(Donal lands another Heavy Wound against Cyrus, who flees the fight. Donal may pursue if he wishes. Alyn can either assist against Fenton or try to recover a frightened and confused animal.)

Wounded and terrified, the deformed and mentally ill man, hardly more than a child, is stabbed repeatedly in the side and gut by Harlan, who quickly finds his neck within reach as well. Leo falls to the ground and Harlan doesn't cease cutting and cutting and cutting until the boy has stopped screaming for his father and brothers. Barley doesn't even need to strike, so complete and bloody is Harlan's attack.
(Harlan murders a mentally challenged teenager and earns +2 to his Small Blades for it. Welcome to Westeros.)

Vex felt the warm blood on her thigh before she felt the pain, and let out a long string of curses as she pressed her left hand to the gash. She attempted to spear the man again.

Donal had been looking on delightedly at Alyn's absurd feat of acrobatic prowess. He then looked on with consternation as Alyn followed up this move by throwing himself into the mud like a madman. That was not part of Donal's plan. But Donal was not deterred. He was both a great swordsman and a great tactician as the events of the day had demonstrated. He didn't need Alyn to win this fight. Why would he when he might very well be Aegon the conqueror reborn. Donal pondered the thought briefly but decided it was probably not a realistic comparison. After all he did not yet have any wives to his name. Aemon the dragonknight was a more realistic likeness.
Finished his mid-combat musings, Donal lashed out with his sword at an opening he observed and was rewarded with Cyrus' blood all over his blade as he pulled it back. Seeing the man flee Donal, ever the team-player, chased after him lest he raise some kind of alarm and bring more foes down upon them. After all, it was not like the others would need his help fighting a foe they outnumbered three to one. "Get back here!" Donal shouted at Cyrus' back. "Donal Beake has not finished with you!"

Seeing Vex wounded, Tim decided that he couldn't hide any more. He grabbed his spear and ran out from his hiding place, then attacked the man in mail.

"We have to get out of here." Barley said, not bothering to help Harlan up. "He called for help, they could be here soon." she added reasonably and went to the edge of the barn to see if anyone was approaching.

When Harlan eventually stopped stabbing, he sat back, exhausted. His dilated eyes met Barley’s, who he could tell was fighting back her repulsion. “Thank you,” he said, earnestly. “I thought I was going to be dessert.”
He stood up, making sure to give the tard one last solid kick to the ribs before joining Barley at the enterence to the barn. He nodded to her in agreement, before adding, “We should re-group with the others, they will want to know what’s really going on here.”
Harlan took one last look at the barn, wanting to be sure they weren’t leaving behind anything valuable. He also looked to see if there was any open flame he could use to start a fire.

Alyn had launched himself at Cyrus when he thought their horses were close enough for him to make the jump, but a sudden swerve of hs own horse as he jumped meant he miscalculated the timing. He found himself sprawling awkwardly from his horse, but the ground was soft enough to cushion his fall. As he hurtled through the air, in what seemed an eternity, his mind briefly flashed to his dead father and brother who he imagined would have laughed heartedly to see Alyn humiliated in such a way.
Wiping the mud from his face, a furious Redhands rose to see Cyrus fleeing. He also heard a long string of curses coming from the other direction. He turned to see the other brother taking the fight up to Vex. Now horseless, Alyn turned towards Fenton, his reddened blade seeking more blood.

Daven with his moment of reprieve from fighting Fenton, tries to get to his feet and limps away from the battle, failing the strength he plans on crawling away from the battle until he is either a suitable distance from the fight or he is at the border of the forest so that he can attempt to use his bow without being hindered by anymore of these pleasant farm folk.
