Open RP: The Hunt for Lewyn Snow.

**Gandalfus** · May 28, 2012, 02:38 AM

William cursed at his poor luck. That bastard Snow had jumped some of his men further up the Kingsroad with a few bandits, and had made off with some essential supplies. William and his best men had gathered on the road, to hunt this bandit group of hedge knights and rogues. He would regain his companies honour, and clean the Kingsroad in the process.

Marq returned from his outrider duty, his new javelins hanging acroos his back. "The trails lead north, William. He seems to be going home."

OOC: No background for this RP?

OOc: what do you mean?
Aye. Then we'll go north

Meanswhile, on the Kingsroad.....
Godwin sighed to himself as his cart slowly slithered along the road. He had had only a few customers today, leaving the wagon fairly untouched and still full of wares. As Godwin walked, he heard a branch snap. probably nothing... he thought to himself. But Then he heard a rustling in the trees. he turned around, and nothing was there. my wits are slipping, it must be the wine. He said aloud, and he continued to walk. Suddenly, a few men jumped out of the trees in front of him. A thickly bearded man in old mail armour accompanied by a scraggly boy with a long dagger at his belt. Godwin stopped dead in his tracks.
And where you off to, stranger? The bearded man boomed.
I'm a m- m- Merchant s- sir honest. This is my job. Godwin spluttered.
The bearded man came up to him, and he felt his bowels loosen. the man pulled out a long, thin dagger and toyed with it.
give me your goods. he said calmly.
take what you want s-sir... I don't want no trouble.

Godwin panicked,
The bearded man smiled.
Good. Rob Him blind men! Bandits appeared out of the trees and began pillaging the caravan. The big man lunged and Godwin couldn't breathe. He spluttered and shouted but all he could manage was to gargle some blood, The mans knife was sticking straight through his throat.
Then the world went black as godwins body fell lifeless to the ground. The bearded man smiled.
I'm Lewyn snow by the way, I think it's polite to tell a man your name before he dies.
Godwin stared at him, then his head lulled to the side.

Attacking the caravan was a wrong move. When Marq returned to the camp, he had sent 10 scouts further forward. by now, the scouts had caught up. 3 of them rode godspeed to tell the company the position of the bandit. Now, thhe light van of the Bastard company was riding out.
"See you on the far side, William!" Marq said before he bolted off with the van.

**Gandalfus** · May 28, 2012, 10:43 AM

William grinned and rode up with the rest of his men. He had got the big bastard right where he wanted him.

**Adamat** · May 28, 2012, 10:47 AM

When the vanguard of 50 men arrived, some of Snow's men were still looting. A javelin from Marq's hand ended one of them, while 35 of the van urged their fast mounts forward at the small group of raiders. Snow's main force couldn't be far off though. The main force needed to arrive quickly.

**Gandalfus** · May 28, 2012, 10:49 AM

William wasn't far behind Marq, and they cleaned up some of the bandits who had begun raiding after the Van had left

**Adamat** · May 28, 2012, 10:53 AM

The van, 48 men remaining, had the main force in sight. "That'll be some 300 men..." Marq stammered. apparently, the Snow had raised a small army! "Men, arrows only. Harass them, and wait for William!" A rain of projectiles flew at the enemy, but the 48 carefully stayed out of enemy range.

**Gandalfus** · May 28, 2012, 11:03 AM

a horn sounded, and the rest of the company appeared flying the royal banner as well as the banner of the company. The men charged to engage the bandits.

**Adamat** · May 28, 2012, 11:16 AM

At this sight, all men from the van rushed in as well. The bandits were being chopped up, but Marq was concerned. He fought to William, and said; "Where's Lewyn?!"
