The knights seemed baffled for a moment when Rebecca ran out, all weapons raised in her direction as she came close to the convoy. This was a raider tactic, and almost all traders and soldiers new about it. More than once in anyone's life had a troubled woman lured them into a trap but she at least had their attention. "If there was Enclave activity anywhere we'd know it you little tramp." One said, stepping forward with his weapon raised. "You're to move away from this cart immediately under direct order of the brotherhood of-" He stepped over the line in the road and there was an explosion, dirt flew into the air and his armor plates were shredded. Some of the shrapnel flew out, maiming two of the caravan guards.
One of them fell over, his cheek getting cut clean open by part of the plating, leaving an exposed jaw and a man writhing in agony on the ground, he'd left his weapon and was trying to hold the bleeding opening on his face.
The other took a sharp shard to the calf, it had driven in about four inches but he remained standing, raising his weapon to fire at Rebecca who [A6+ Pass] Had time to leave in the cover of the explosion, wasting the shots from his double barrel into open air, though he could barely limp.
The remaining knights went as planned behind the rock, where yet another explosive was waiting, and after a moment one had been thrown over it, right leg missing as he thudded to the ground and held still. The first knight remained alive, stunned, with blood dripping from the hole in his helmet, plating torn as it had melded into his flesh. Anyone could see he wasn't going to make it, but he was still shaking on the ground as he choked on blood filled lungs.
The trader dropped to his knees, coward as he was to raise his hands in the air. "Take what you'd like, it isn't mine anyway, please!" He whimpered, lowering his head as he dropped the weapon to the ground. This for the most part had gone cleanly, the cart was intact, and the pack Brahmin of the civilian trader could have good items as well if they chose to rob him.
