The fighting was intense but most of the others were handling themselves well. Emilia was about to advance when Hansel suddenly bucked. A more experienced rider might have been able to stay in control but Hansel was a workhorse unaccustomed to battle. She was thrown clear off landing hard in the snow. She threw up a barrier around herself instinctively as she heard Hansel running off somewhere. Unfortunately she was now in the open and a few arrows were striking her barrier. 

She made a break for cover and found herself next to the bard, Lucio. She could see that he had been hit by an arrow, although most of the shaft had broken off. A few steps away were some dead warriors, apparently the bard was more adept at combat than she had originally assumed. "Two of them by yourself? Not bad. Let me take care of that arrow, it won't take a moment."
