#5: (4) Attack Frenz!
#6: (3) Attack Daniel!
#7: (3) Attack Daniel!
Daniel drew his knife and watched the enemy carefully. The seventh rider to appear launched itself at him, and he saw his moment! (SP used. 5+2 vs 2+4; 8-1 Major Success, 2d6; 7 damage) His knife plunged into the fleaman riding it, killing him instantly but leaving the eagle alive to attack. Meanwhile, the fifth rider circled his mount around to dive at Frenz! (1-1 vs 8+1) The nobleman simple laughed the feeble attack off. The lone eagle swooped back to attack Daniel from behind. (8 vs 4+2; Major Success, 2d4; 5 damage) Its talons raked across the back of his unprotected neck, drawing blood!
Frenz, meanwhile, released his whip from around the boar's neck and attacked the rider that had tried to strike him. (7 vs 6+3) But the rider was skilled in the art of the majestic barrel roll and evaded. o.O Meanwhile, the third went for Wymar! (3 vs 5-1) The fortune teller saw it coming and ducked away, and as he did Greenmoore came to his aid, flinging fireballs at the attacking eagle! (-4 MP. 4-1 vs 3+4; 7-1 vs 1+4. 7+1 Massive Success, 2d6x2; 18 and kill) The eagle was utterly destroyed in the explosion, and the fleaman flew over the edge of the cliff to never be seen in one piece again. The first rider went for Frenz's back! (8-1 vs 5+1; Massive Success, 2d4x2; 12 damage) With expert precision, the fleaman buried its lance between his shoulders and flew away, drawing another from the pack hanging from his eagle.
The second eagle, observing the monk's magic, dive bombed him! (6 vs 5+1-1; Minor Success, 1d4; 1-2 = 0 damage) Greenmoore raised his shield just in time, and the fleaman's axe scraped sparks along its surface. The sixth went for Daniel! (5 vs 7+2) But the doctor saw it coming and ducked the eagle's talons. Wymar raised his free hand towards the scattered riders... (-4 MP: 7+1 vs 2+4; Major Failure. 8+1 vs 4+4; Massive Success, 2d4x2; 12 and kill) The light blinded Eagle Rider 4 and it crashed high above them into the mountain. Both eagle and rider fell into the trees, dying on impact.
NIGHTCRAWLERSgod dammit im getting tired of these caverns: go south
Light my lantern and head into the darkness of the south!
Follow da party!
Search for loot to the south!
The party headed south, led by a frustrated Malleus. They stomped and splashed through the water, causing quite a ruckus. (MAR: 3) And they, in fact, attracted some attention: Two distant lights suddenly flickered on and floated towards them, and a quartet of fishmen burst out of the water near the center of the cavern! The party immediately boxed in around Malakai to protect him, Malleus facing the now-slightly-visible ghosts with Pierre and Claire looking at the fishmen.
(Enemy count: Two Spectres / Incorporeal Undead, Four Fishmen / Aquatic Demons)

I'm trying to change things up a bit. Is this better or did you prefer the old way?
This takes a little longer to write and I'm not sure if it works as well here as it does in RtSC IV.
