Lyrisa would angle herself perfectly then whip the bandit from the safe distance that the reach weapon not really meant for parrying had. The whip also wouldn't really be best for short distance attacking either, but for attacking from a small distance of five feet away it was pretty good, even if its damage wasn't that great.

Lyrisa was a scholar, not a fighter. Well, she could fight, but apparently not really well. It was a mistake to learn from though, if they all survived. A whip was a complicated weapon to use and Lyrisa wasn't really a trained combatant, so when she tried to snap the whip perhaps it was just a mistake this one time, but instead of snapping the whip at the bandit she somehow managed to accidentally whip Fiore with the whip, managing to get him somewhat decently with the weapon on accident. 

On the bandit's counterattack, the first one with the sword and shield saw Fiore get whipped and took advantage of this opportunity to try and get in an attack himself as well. Luckily Fiore managed to parry this blow away once again despite him getting whipped by Lyrisa's mistake. Still, Fiore was ready and he had prepared for this attack, getting in a much more accurate counterattack after he was attacked.

Fiore's Rapier hit on the mark, cutting the man deep, putting him in even worse shape now than before. While the crossbowman could have gone after Lyrisa, he decided that, with her poor handling of her own weapon, but was currently reloading his weapon as quickly as he could, crossbows not exactly being the quickest weapons to reload after all. 

The dual axe wielding bandit, seeing his pal in trouble, decided to attack Fiore as well. He rushed forward, wielding both axes as he brandished them both, attempting to attack Fiore now that he had two opponents upon him. The first axe was easily parried, but the second axe got swiftly past Fiore's guard, cutting him very deeply, his armor only absorbing a small portion of the blow. Fiore was now in incredibly bad shape, but despite that he was still somehow standing even though he could collapse at any moment now, able to fight despite his incredibly deep wound, still able to get off a more spontaneous counterattack within these few moments since his last one was well prepared and ready.

The blade stabbed deep into the dual axe wielding bandit, who currently seemed to be the biggest threat thanks to how he managed to nearly eviscerate Fiore with his secondary hand axe swing, Fiore having to fight two opponents at the same time not really being much of help. Things were starting to look tough.
