Athan sighed. He had expected violence on this trip. It would have been naive not to, after all. He had not expected it quite so quickly however. Still, such was the way of the world.
He considered the stones at his horses feet and chose out a suitable one. With a thought he sent it winging towards the lizard man who appeared to be the leader of the group.

By means of this spell, the caster magically slings one or more
small objects at targets within range. The caster can sling up to
one object per level of experience. The objects scan be slung
at one target or distributed across several targets, as desired.
The spellcaster must make a successful attack throw with each
object. Each object that successfully hits deals 1d4 points of
damage to its target.
To be slung by this spell, an object must be either in the caster’s
hands or lying on the ground within 5’; must be made of clay,
stone, or metal; and must weigh no more than 8 ounces. Most
casters will carry a pouch of sling stones or bullets for use with
this spell, but if necessary, a caster may resort to slinging objects
that are littering the ground nearby. The Judge may randomly
determine how many eligible objects are nearby based on the
caster’s environment by rolling on the adjoining table.
