Nor do I know whether I will succeed. Perhaps you can tell me.

Here are the rules for our little combat.
1. No one may kill Lord Calimehtar. You can beat up on him, but leave him live to struggle off the battlefield.
2. Remember these Easterling guys are experienced raiders. They will not make it easy. You can't just poke out your blade and kill them. Even if you prevail, make it sound hard! |
Athwen can be the one he's got by the hair, if you like. She's a fairly good horsemen herself, actually, so maybe he won't be able to quite drag her off her horse as easily as he would like. However, she's probably not much of a fighter, which might explain why she was such an easy, unrestisting target to just ride up to.
I have a few questions myself.
How many Easterlings are there? The reason I ask this is because I'm wondering how much chance we Wulfhamers and Bregowarians really have in surviving.
And is Lord Calimehtar the chap who's got said girl by the hair?
Also - other girl RPers - if you want your character to be the one with the annoying Easterling clingining to her hair, say so. Athwen does not have to be her. I had something else in mind, actually, for the writing of this battle, and if someone else has an idea springing up into her head about what her character is going to do under such circumstances, take it away with you, because I'm not going to think about it until I sit down to write the post.
