as the two bound from the ledge above, many of the horses reared and skittered, their aversion to falling objects clear. Though most of the bandits had no idea what was coming down. The cap jammed, forcing the wheel to stop spinning. Dragging, the wagon pulled towards the treeline.<br/><br/>Plummeting from above was the last thing most of the bandits had conceived would even be doable, much less something to defend from, yet two were ready. As the assault began on the rearmost wagon, the figure that was cloaked, halted her lead horse and threw her cloak over the beasts eyes, quick tying the cloak in place. The woman who stood next to the blind-folded horse wore only a halter top herself, broad belt and breeches tied at the ankle a set of gold and silver ribbons were tied to her belt. She cried out, "Court, materialize and defend me!" A heavy strain drew the breath from the woman as she was driven to her knees, the taxation of her essence forcing a dematerialized being to materialize without enough of its own essence. A violent coppery swirl of light raced about her in pulsing arcs.<br/><br/>The second who was able, was the giant. Moving with speed not fitting with his size, the man bent and raised the side of the wagon as cover from the shot. Though the shot was more impressive than expected, burning through the side of the wagon and searing a blaze across the torso of the giant.
