3. Have Shysel attack them with her crossbow from one direction, drawing as many of them away as possible. Zinmegur and Bekir can sneak from another direction and shaft them from behind.
"No we have to get guards away from her, Shyselyou use your crossbow try to draw them away from the cave, tire them out.
Then we will attack from rear."
There nods of agreement from Shysel as she throws her cloak back, her horse snorts loudly and she's off.
You both rush thou the undergrowth, hurrying to get around behind priest and her guards.
Another loud snorts from Shysel's horse and bellowing shout let you know that's shes started her attack.
You run as intermittent thundering hoof beats and yells tell you of her every attack.
Suddenly Shysel screams and you burst out of the under growth as her horse trashes wildly in a heap.
You glance at a trio of the spiked club men are rushing toward Shysel as she staggers to her feet next to the fallen horse.
One of spike covered men stand by the priestess, the others lie bleeding as her feet.
You charge at the priestess, swinging your at her guard, he steps back before your axe cleaves in to head.
There's a resounding crack of bone as Zinmegur's hammer smashes in to the priestess chest, knocking her to the ground.
The guard takes a wild two handed swing at you, you drop under the spiked club and bring your axe up in to his groin.
The axeblade bites in deep as purple mass of his guts falls from his belly.
Neither of you stop to take the mask , instead you rush on to help Shysel.
You quickly close the distance on one of spike covered guards and painfully you tackle her to the ground.
Her body being pierce with hundreds of sharp bones give her a kinds of inhuman armour, and you land painfully on top of her the sharp bones prickling you.
She slams her fist at your shoulder as you grab her left arm, ignoring the pain get a strong grip as you twist it forcefully
until her elbow join snaps with a loud crack.
She squirms and rakes her arm down the side your neck, the spikes sawing open a jagged gash.
As she rakes at your neck, you jam a finger up her nose and pull it out savagely ripping her nostril open.
You raise your fist but the woman grabs your hand stopping you.
She try's to snap finger by bending it backward, but you stand back up and pull her up right.
With both hands you lift her up over your head and throw her back in to the ground.
You pick up your axe, as the woman just lies there, coughing up blood, her body pieced tru by the bones she wore.
A dirtier but unharmed Shysel walks over to you as Zinmegur removes the gold mask from it's former owner.
"This is solid, it must be worth a fortune." Zinmegur sates as he cut the mask free.
He gives, you the mask and a dozen quills of gold, there ends still coved in matted hair.
"How do we get to spend it? we're three days march from Cassiteride lands and safety.
My hose can't stand let alone carry me." Shysel points to the spiked club in her horses leg.
"We take turns and pray to what ever god you hold the horse are strong enough..." Shysel
For the next three days you take turns to sleep in saddle as you walk back towards the Cassiterides.
Every night you can hear the beat of war drums echo on the wind.
Finally as the last horse fall to the ground from exhaustion your back and safe.
"Well now we have a choice to make,
Now we could return to the Captain Cairist́ona, explain our absence and rejoin the army in time for what ever comes next."
"what and face that lot? not while i've gold to spend!" Zinmegur chuckles at the idea.
"Or we go get drunk.."
