(It's fine, I haven't been able to post too frequently anyway.)

Argaeus nailed the 6th Knight in the left leg, taking it off completely in his attack. The armor fell over and the Imperial was able to land a direct hit on its torso, destroying it.

With his right mace, Bane hit the 3rd Knight square in the torso. The attack left the enemy stunned, allowing Bane to quickly follow up with his next attack before the Knight could react. His left mace went straight for the armor's helmet and knocked it clean off, smashing it in the process. The 3rd Knight collapsed on the ground, defeated.

The enemies had all been defeated.

"This fight was tougher than the last." Rigvar noted. "Those spearmen were better fighter than the knights, but even the knights seemed like they were better than the group we initially met."

"It's almost like they are learning our fighting styles and how to counter it." Gwen muttered.

"A scary thought. It means our next encounters will only get progressively tougher." Rigvar muttered. He turned to the other two vanguard members. "Even if I falter, like I did this time, don't let anyone get past us to attack Gwen. If she goes down we lose our healer. Your skill in Restoration, Argaeus, isn't enough to keep this group afloat during the rest of the mission."

"I can defend myself." Gwen gripped her greatsword. "That spearman just got the drop on me, it was faster than I expected. Next time I'll keep my sword at the ready. Still, I appreciate the sentiment." She looked over at him with a small smile. She had spent enough time adventuring with Rigvar to know that he cared a great deal about his companions: Erich, Garm and her.
