The Forest
The man's axe struck the ground with a light
thunk
. He quickly pulled it out, just as Lyna slashed out at him with a knife, cutting through his vambrace and inflicted a shallow cut - not enough to disarm him, but enough to make him feel it. "Ah!" He grunted in pain.
The bandit rose his axe into the air for another strike, but then he heard rapid footsteps to the right. He turned his head and saw Sir Richard's red headed squire charging at him, sword drawn. The sixteen year old knight-in-training yelled out an unintelligible battle cry and raised his sword into the air, swinging it at the bandit as he came into range.
The bandit brought his shield up and deflected the blow, and then swung his axe at the boy in turn. The squire used his sword to block it, and then they stood there, weapons locked, trying to overpower each other. The bandit's attention no longer on the elf, would give Lyna the window she needed to attack.

The Road
The bandit leader screamed in pain as Andrew ripped the arrow from her shoulder, her vision going blurry. In one last desperate attempt to fight back, her right hand curled up into a fist and she launched it directly at Andrew, aiming between the man's legs.
As for Mark and Cain, they could let this go on if they wished. But they would also remember that the knightly code forbade unnecessary torture on a helpless opponent.

((Mark, just pointing out that Darius isn't currently present - he left to pursue another bandit.))

Veliath's Mansion
The door was opened by a different servant this time - a young woman. Her eyes widened, and she was clearly startled by the intimidating sight of Ragnar. Perhaps she was new to the job. "Oh, Mister Rag**r! Mister Veliath is expecting you. Please, come in. He should be in his office - you know where it is, yes?"
