Attacked by Assassins

Before you reach your Father's castle 5 men in black robes and gambison blocked your path. One Shouted out to you. "We have been hired to kill you, My lady. However, We have heard of your kind and generous nature. Therefore we have a deal for you. We were told not to let you reach the castle alive. Give us all your gold, Turn around and you may go live in the woods with your beast of a lover."

"I cannot do that, we have other reasons to visit the castle other than just getting married." You responded.

Lubra unhitched her Yurt and took her spear from where it hung on her flank. You had been riding on her back and drew your sword. It had been specially made by Clive. It had a fancy jewel encrusted handle and fancy scabbard. It looked like a ceremonious sword but it was sharp and curved, the blade was long and light, perfect for a lady to weld from horseback or in this special case centaur back. Knowing that bandits were on the road you had both been wearing your armour. Clive had modified Lubra's armour to contain a saddle.

"So be it." said the man. "At arms." The man who is clearly in charge shouts and 4 more men appear 2 on each side.
