Well, here comes in an elf armed with a steel sword and shield. She has been training on punching bags for the last week and has gotten pretty well with shield use.
Then she goes after bandits. In a small world, near the coastline and right next to a town she encounters them.
A whole 15 man band. Sneaking in and using her bow, she was able to shoot firebrands at the nearest guards, igniting them and exploding them in their own blood, that did not kill them though. She repeated this until some lucky arrows found their mark through eye slits in the helm or in...very vulnerable areas.
Then one of the patrolling guards swept in and spotted me. I was surrounded apparently and did not see the ones on my back, drawing my shield and sword I fought with valiance aiming at the hands and feet. Many of them fell as I retreated backwards, swinging my sword wildly.
Too many bodies though, I ended up with "You dodge the bandit" many times, even got knocked down and still dodged only it was "roll away from the bandit" now. Also, my counterstrikes kept on hitting their legs, toppling them over each other.
Then came their crossbowmen and archers, darn projectiles were flying all over, strangely mostly all of the strikes came on my shield as if they were aiming for it. While I was lying on the ground.
Then came the master halberdier, after me finishing most of the melee and a few archers I could shoot in the pause, it became a duel of blades. I managed to slit his throat about...three times? He just kept going at me, I was rolling away on the ground. I wondered if he loved charging me everytime I stood though.
A lucky shot then came to my left foot, by one of those archers. I fell down in pain, the master cut my...chest and blood spilled. A few counterstrikes later on both sides and he died but I lay on the ground in heavy pain getting pincushioned by bolts and arrows, they were still aiming at my shield though.
And then it ended when one of the crossbowmen decided to charge in and bayonet my face through my full helm. He was fat and his teeth were spread out. He was short.
