Lyrisa also moved towards the crossbowman now, whip in hand, hoping to not accidentally hit an ally this time, a mistake she learned from before to help improve her skills in combat a slight bit. Unlike Fiore, she was able to attack though within these few moments, staying from a safe five feet away as she whipped her weapon towards the crossbowman. With Fiore right next to the crossbowman though he now had to deal with two people whose weapons he was in reach of.

Lyrisa Attack: 12 + 8 Talent + 2 Flanking = 22

The attack connected, not really as much as one would have liked though. The man was somewhat quick on his feet, managing to barely dodge. He still got hit though and the attack still seemed to connect and do some damage, but his armor seemed to absorb most of the blow from the whip. 

"Damn all of you, ill see your bodies on the ground and your coin in our pockets!" The axe wielding bandit seemed quite angry now, slashing at Leifr's horse now, trying to get the nobleman down from his steed by attacking the steed. The axe hit the horse dead on, drawing blood and making the beast whinny out in pain. Luckily Leifr was able to keep his horse under control and prevent it from throwing him off despite the cut having been a somewhat bad one, but his horse was still raring and ready to go. 

The crossbowman, in the meantime, did not like being in reach of both Fiore and Lyrisa, so he quickly moved back, but did so in a hurried manner instead of a guarded one to take more time, so he left himself open to a quick attack from both Lyrisa and Fiore.

Fiore Free Attack: 14 - 5 Free Attack - 3 Bloodied + 15 Talent Bonus + 1 Weapon + 2 Flanking = 25
Lyrisa Free Attack: 2 - 5 Free Attack + 2 Flanking + 8 Talent = 7

Lyrisa's whip was way off the mark, easily being dodged by the crossbowman, but unfortunately for him dodging two attacks seemed a bit too much as Fiore's spontaneous attack struck him pretty deeply as he stepped back, a cry of pain escaping from him as he decided to fire now at the weakened Fiore, hoping to end his life with this crossbow bolt from a safe distance of twenty or so feet away. Luckily, Fiore was able to dodge out of the way of the deadly bolt quite easily as the man, who seemed a small bit bloodied now, seemed to be a bit off on his aim, which was good for Fiore as that bolt probably would have sent him to the ground and made him start bleeding out if he had gotten hit by it. 

This battle was nearly over though. Both remaining bandits were quite bloodied and both of the ones on the ground were probably bleeding out or just unconscious if they weren't dead.
