Smiths, the Lycian warrior under attack from Maynette, fell to the ground quickly under the Sacaen woman's assault. The combination of the dizziness from his struck head and the surprise attack from the bandits kept him from pulling out his axe to defend himself with, let alone fighting back. The Lycian let out a low groan as Maynette's foot plunged into his gut, snapping at least one rib in the process.
Above them, Fess' magical encouragement of the flames with a lack of wind slowly paid off. The fire, rather than move from the thatch rooftop down the wooden walls, continued to spread backwards away from Maynette and Smiths, consuming more of the rooftop. As the flames reached the wall of Light magic, the burning seemed to simply pass through underneath the barrier, consuming the thatch beneath it before moving further back.
As the two archers from the now-burning rooftop scrambled to join Conall and their fellows, two of the knights behind the first Light wall noticed Smiths' plight. One shifting his horseslayer and the other readying his zanbato, the two rushed out from behind the barrier despite Conall's shouts and ran forward to try and rescue Smiths from Maynette.

"Huh, not bad, Fess." Nikang peered through the hole at the controlled rooftop fire. Shockingly, it wasn't starting a village-wide wind-fire. "Just might get an appreciation for teamwork in you yet, huh?"
"Yo, Nikang! Elisa! We got trouble!" Nikang scowled and turned to Smitty, who had already lunged past them through the newly-made hole in the wall, his new buddy right behind him. Through the wall, the sight of two heavily armored soldiers advancing on Maynette stilled Nikang's whining tongue and spurred him into running, too.
"Shit! C'mon, Elisa! Fessi, you get that kid and keep him, got it? Good!"
