How does it go?
Poorly
Lubra charged forward at the leader. You ready your sabre aiming for the kneck of the assassin to the right of him. The leader jumps to the side, losing his sword but surviving the charge. You sabre cuts the neck of the assassin beside him and the momentum combined with the mortal blow sends him to the ground clutching his throat.
You could run at this point you were clear of all the men and have the horn. You would sacrifice Lubra's yurt and there would be no guarantee that you will be safe in the castle. Lubra, not ready to sacrifice her home weals around and charges again there are now 3 men standing with 4 behind them with the commander on the ground alive but defenceless.
If only you had the shield that was inside the Yurt you could protect your self and Lubra as she charged. No matter as Lubra charged again her long spear reached the men on the front line before any of their swords reached either of you. You combined momentum carried you through the group of men. Lubra knocked down and trampled one of the back men you cut through the two men to the right of the gap Lubra made.
Lubra could not lean back in the saddle to take the **** of the charge and the spear was ripped from her hands it was embedded in the chest of the man she killed. She knew this was a possibility in a charge but killing two men was worth the risk especially counting the two you had been able to kill by moving through the group.
The Yurt stoped Lubra's advance and she wheeled around to find that the assassins had regrouped with their leader back up and armed. However, because of your devastating charge, there was now 4 men in total. Lubra was, however, unarmed and did not have her shield. Lubra had no room to charge as the men closed in
"You have lost 5 men, surrender and we will let you live. You will be proof of my father's plot." You shouted as they advanced.
"Your beast is disarmed and you are but a girl no match even mounted for us in close combat." The leader taunted.
You are trapped between the Yurt and the 4 men in a horseshoe shape around you. You deflect a blow from the leader striking towards Lubra However the other three are able to take stabs into her side. One bounces off her plate male but the other two pierce her chainmail into her front legs. The chain did stop it somewhat but it would lame her.
More swords come at you. You quickly block one and cut into the arm of one of the assassins. You blade slices through the gambison and from a deep cut into his arm. The other assassins strike towards Lubra as she tries to back off into the heard she gets two slashes deep into her arms and the commander manages to pierce the side of her human torso.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGggggggggggg" Lubra Scrams in pain.
You jump from Lubra as she retreats into the Yurt bleeding and limping. You let your plate armour take the blows as you use your sword to defend your face. Swords are not good against plate armour but you will have some bruises. You slash across the commander's chest it cuts the gambison but not him. You get inside the Yurt and Lubra is there to slam and bar the door. You grab a bed and barricade the door.
Now what
