You draw your weapon and slay the first guard to come within arm’s length of your horse. The others freeze in their tracks, stunned by the speed of your attack, but then the sergeant screams at them like a wild animal and they rush forward again. They are more scared of their sergeant’s wrath, it seems, than they are of your battle skill. You must fight them.
