As soon as the warning comes, Dieter draws his sword and swings at the nearer of the two.

This is the scenario, zoomed in to the action. The two lines of Men in the main gully stand a long shot of a short bow (approximately 50 yards) apart.

If anyone wants to update their intentions, now is the time...

Before he commits to action, he quickly estimates 1) whether he is in throwing range for spear/dagger, and 2) whether there is any nearby cover from arrow fire.

1) The parley group are just about within reach of a good spear throw, but will Highbough risk throwing into a melee?

2) Not unless Highbough wants to make a dash for the gap in the gully ridge to his right.

Nah, let's just kill them all.

(Poor Dieter hasn't killed anybody all day...)

Ulric might catch the retreating brigand with The Sufferance if he is quick about it. But if he is going to risk himself he might, perhaps, consider having Gustave or Andaros hold a shield between him and that line of archers as a precaution.

(The dice Gods can be cruel to even the best prepared...)

Dieter the Angry versus Wulfric the Psycho Lunatic -- another epic duel ;D The dice are already sizzling in their pouch!

In that case, CHARGE! Highbough will attempt to spear the leader in melee combat.

Who does Highbough consider to be the leader?
