On the ride, Gwin'en seemed quite encouraged when she was told she had great talents, riding along by Riana's side with a prideful glow to her cheeks, clearly not thinking about the sheer strength of the powerful animals they rode upon, unlike the lustful Riana.
Every hero needed a hobby, after all, and there was no way that Riana's desires had been fanned by the sword by her side...
Gwin gulped a little, but quickly nodded her agreement to Riana's plan, guiding her horse along. Battle, so swiftly.. but something had been burning in Riana and slowly growing through that ride.. yes.. fighting the evil creatures .. perhaps she'd even have to use her sword..
The two quickly road around through the undergrowth, guiding their horses to look at what lay before them... and spy several undead warriors!
About three dozen skeletons, armed in ragged remains of armor and helmets, advanced in troups a ten, lead by a somewhat better outfitted skeleton each. The elfish defenders, to their credit using blunted arrows slowed the skeletons assault and readied for a counter attack.. but of course so few skeletons could not overwhelm them.
A brief glance over to the defenders told Riana what this really was.. a war of attrition. Smaller contingents of skeletons sent out ot busy the warriors, after all, each man they lost, even each wound inflicted weakened them, whilest the necromancing lich could keep going indefinitly, for as long as he had corpses to use. Gwin'en looked at her with a concerned glance, uncertain what to do.. she could take on several of these creatures, propably half of them with ease, if she drew her sword and bring the defenders some relief, but could she risk that?
Could she risk not doing it? Those foul undead had to be crushed and then, they'd drive the attack back.. somehow!
