The leader twisted away from Mig's flying buzzers escaping unscathed. But a piece of his still-smoldering shirt was cut cleanly, falling to the ground where the woodland detritus caught hold of the flame.
Sailing over the small flames was the monstrous form of Crash who tackled the leader and bit deeply into his throat. Blood spurted around Crash's lips, coating his face with a ruddy paint.
Coming to the defense of their leader, one of the bandits stabbed at Crash with a long knife while another went for Mig.
Meanwhile, the man that Zandoran was pummeling brought his club around, trying to knock his foe down. Another bandit came up behind Zandoran and tried to stab him in the back while his attention was diverted.
Zippo's combatants moved in rhythm with each other, crudely hacking at him, one especially wary the forearm blades having tasted its keen edge.
Stepping up onto a nearby stump, the one with a bow sighted down an arrow and let it fly toward the now-floating OOLIN. He caught sight of Ythrinda, and yelled to his cohort to grab her.
Hearing the call to action, a bandit sprung toward the badly scarred woman and attempted to tackle her to the ground.
OOC:
I need one Speed Defense roll from Crash, one from Mig, two from Zandoran, two from Zippo, one from Ythrinda, and one from OOLIN.
If you're Trained in Speed Defense, this will reduce the difficulty by one, and you can spend Effort on it if you'd like.
The fire (caused by the GMI) is small now, but it will only grow if left alone.....
Ythrinda, you're up!
