Refugio
Amari raised a brow and walked over quietly, following Siegwind and listening to what happened. Untied bandits? Amari had been picking off a few over the times she had to travel through here to Riften, so it was surprising to think they all came together. 

Whether her charitableness deep within her heart took the reins or the strange hero of the townsfolk was influencing her, she did something she didn't think she ever would. "I'll help too, I'm pretty adept in archery." She gestured to the ebony now strapped on back. 

"Anywhere you need me." She nodded. Maybe she'll get a reward for this, but unlikely. By the nine, Siegwind was very influencing with his almost naive thoughts of heroism in Skyrim. Still, it would help her in the long run to help the town she travels through often. The sun was going down soon as well, so she'll truly be in her element then.

The guard looked at the two.

"The more the merrier. I want you with the boy to get onto that wall and provide Archer Support. Shoot the ones in the back, you... With the armor. I need you helping us in the frontlines. I have to divert most of our men inside so they don't try to flank us." The captain gave orders.

Siegwind gave a nod and would make his way towards the main entrance of the village, having 8 other guards to support him. Three more will be on the wall with Amari.

In the distance a orange light could be seen, it must be the raiding party.
Refugio
Amari nodded and equipped her bow as she treaded to where she was needed, the wall. 4 archers weren't the best cover, but if they're good enough shots they all should be fine. 

She pressed a very gentle kiss to the cool ebony that made up her bow, clutching it harder before easing up and sighing gently. Reaching down to her belt she felt the flowers petals, wilting now but still soft. A nightshade. 

"Can't believe I'm doing this." She grumbled lightly to herself as she notched an arrow, looking ahead. Arn would be proud of her, probably. Or maybe he's too drunk in Sovengarde. Or wherever he went.
Rhonda
The orange flames grew closer and the guards began to have some fear, they were nervous and even some began to shake. How could they do this?
Nicole
"Show no fear my friends! Unlike the brigands, we have hearts! We fight to protect those we love! We fight for glory! We fight for Sovengarde. May this battle be told in books for generations!"
He tried to inspire the guards.
Rhonda
"They outnumber us! There's no way..." One of the guards.
Nicole
"We fight because it is our duty, we are the last line to hold them off. We cannot let them pass!" Siegwind told the guard.
Rhonda
The flames grew closer and a group of 28 bandits were ahead of them. Being lead by a Redguard with two swords.
Refugio
She drew back her arrow and sucked in a breath as she looked to the other archers. 

"Just follow my lead." She assured, not knowing why she cared enough to do so. "Only shoot once you can see them. Don't waste arrows." She advised as she watched closely. They were guards, yes, but they probably didn't focus on archery like she has for years. She knows a thing or two.

"This is gonna be a long night." Her mood was soured lightly by her lack of moving on, so she was determined to end this soon so she could travel closer to Riften while it was still night.
Rhonda
The flames grew closer and the men stopped where they were. They looked like they wanted to ransack Riverwood. With this many guards, it would make it worth the risk.

"Charge!" The redguard yelled and pointed his sword, a slick smile growing.

The bandits began to charge, 6 of then stayed behind while the rest would rush towards the main entrance.
Nicole
"To Valor, to glory... Long may the sun shine! RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Siegwind let out a warcry and would charge with the guards.
Rhonda
The guards were shocked to see this onion knight charge ahead, but they looked at each other and followed with him.

Siegwind would be the first to strike. Charging up his sword and impaling a bandit, he would then block two attacks coming from some bandits, using his sword and his armor protected him from am attack.

The guards would cover him, three of the guards would kill four bandits in total, one of the guards who the was most inexperienced would get overwhelmed and cut down.

Out of the 17 that remained four of the bandits fell back a bit and began to fire arrows. One his a guard in the arm but he kept on fighting.

17 bandits
7 guards
4 archer guards
Refugio
Amari raised her bow higher and let loose an arrow to the enemy archers with practiced precision and it flew past and lodged itself snuggly into the arm of the archer she was targetting, smugness flooded her despite aiming for the throat of the bandit. But it would be hard to fire arrows with one sticking out of your arm.

Reaching back she loaded another arrow, knocking it back and drawing the string of her bow back, all while she eyed the battle going on, deciding that another of her fellow archers could finish the bandit she left with only one unharmed arm.
Rhonda
The Archers would fire and take out three more bandits. The other archers would take aim and fire at Amari...

Two misses, one would graze her right arm. Nothing serious but an ouchie 

As the battle in the frontlines happened. Siegwind would cleave the head off of a Dunmer as his head would bounce on the ground. With him being exposed however a bandit managed to slash onto an exposed point of the armor. But Siegwimd using the end of his hilt would bash him in the stomach and then cleave into his chest, killing him.

The guards would finish off three more however one guard got a arrow into neck, she fell backwards gasping for air... Only to go limp.

9 bandits remain
6 guards 
4 archers
Refugio
She hissed lightly but her hands remained steeled to her bow and arrow as she shot another fly at the enemy archers, revenge for her very minor injury. 

The arrow flew and landed squarely in a chink of the armor, piercing the throat of the bandit and leaving them dead as one would imagine. However, Amari did not revel in the kill. She seemed almost distracted as the familiar coopery scent of blood caught her attention for the first time this night.

She shook her head and reached for another arrow stiffly, she had to focus. She would not end her immortal life prematurely this night.
Nicole
He would keep on fighting, but he grew more tired. He was never meant for big battles such as these.

He would get into a class with a Orc, his mighty greatsword was trying to break the guard of the mighty onion knight but with a heavy bash he would break the Orc's guard and let out a heavy cleave cutting into the shoulder of the Orc. The Orc roared and he would kick back Siegwind who stumbled and fell onto his back. The Orc raised his sword and was going to finish off Siegwind...
Rhonda
A guard would back stab the Orc and he would ground. The guard gave the knight a nod before defending himself from an attacking bandit.

When the numbers seemed low, the Redguard gave a loud whistle and soon enough bandits from the ridge would jump down and attack the main group, archers following behind.

10+ Bandits

The captain was going to get hit by a volley of arrows, but with quick thinking Siegwind would get infront of him and take the arrows, them hitting his armor but not affecting him. Siegwind gave a nod and would cut down another bandit with a heavy cleave chopping her arm off before impaleing her with his greatsword.

One of the Guard Archers got hit in the stomach and he fell backwards in pain.

15 Bandits

6 Guards

3* Archers

Injuried.
Refugio
With great regret Amari turned her face away from the archer and focused solely on shooting. The bleeding guard made it hard to focus, the warm life blood seeping out of his wound enticed the vampire to no end. But now wasn't the time, and he was a good person. 

More arrows, more targets. She focused as best she could, shooting any archer she saw. One arrow flew past Siegwind and buried it deep inside the stomach of a incoming bandit. Another landed in the shoulder of an enemy archer. 

She couldn't keep this up however, the bleeding bodies around her kept her more and more unfocused until aiming was but estimates of who appeared to be enemies were. Her eyes darted from body to body, almost salivating. She hadn't fed recently, preferring to be near Riften before she would. She has came to learn that was a sore mistake on her part, but she didn't foresee this happening. Honestly, who would?
Rhonda
Two guards were killed by the onslaught, but they took four bandits with them.

Siegwind would kill two more bandits but suffered an arrow in his shoulder, yet his strong will made him still able to wield the sword.
[Big Bone]

The Captain would kill two more bandits but suffer a slash across eye, his eye was luckily saved but for now he was blind on one side.

The Archers would finish off 4 more bandits.


The bandits Numbers dwindled to 3 and their moral was now very low with Siegwind and captain still standing.

3 Bandits 

4 Guards

3 Archers
Refugio
With her last arrow she managed to actually shoot at one of the bandits, hitting them in the throat. 

Despite her stoney exterior she was was itching to feed on something, someone. But she could wait, she could do that much. She could regroup and resupply her arrows in less than an hour and be on her way to find a nice alive bandit to sink her teeth into. 

She panted slightly, breathing in through her mouth. Her slightly parted lips gave the slightest sliver of a view to the sharp deadly fangs that resided in her mouth.
