My friends, I'm stuck on a fight scene. Nar has encouraged me to really challenge my protagonist with a seemingly "against all odds" situation, and so I've thrown him and the fair maiden he thinks he's rescuing up against a gang of 12 bad men in a woods. They're separated, 7 after her and 5 after him, two of which he's lost and the other 3 of which surround him. She can take care of herself, which he doesn't know, but they all have the same knife he's stolen from one of them, 3 against 1. He's quick and agile and has good instincts, but the only think I can thing of is "There she is!" He points and doesn't even fool them but they look anyway and back again as fast as they can but he's still caught. Now what? He has to find her and the magic pool. Help!
