We are awakened at night by voices crying out that we are under attack! An arrow whistles through the darkness, and we leap up and begin to attack the Bandits after we form a circle to protect ourselves in the relative darkness lit only by our fire. I manage to find the Bandit Leader after he cuts down to of my men. I cannot evade.
Bandit Leader: CS 17, EP 26
I roll a 9 , and with my large CS that is an auto kill.
The ruins echo with the sound of battle. These are well disciplined bandits, and not ordinary rabble. We charge through them in order to keep them from taking our horses. However, by the end of the battle, we have just eleven horses left. Reluctantly, I select ten rangers, and send the remaining alive back to Holmgard. I am asked to pick a number. I get a 2.
