The bandits turned around and ran for it towards the red-haired knight. For some odd (story-confusion related) reason Kalin was now unchecked.
The armored knight looked strong but a 5 on 1 didn't exactly seem in his favor.
Kalin figured she'd give him some help before she continued on with her plans. Taking out her lance, she was prepared to impale several brigands to death in several back and forth charging motions. She went in for a kill and... took some time to adjust her spear... and then thought about the best place to hit... and then... and then...
...
She couldn't do it.
Despite having training for it, it was incredibly hard for her to bring herself to take another person's life. She opted instead to spin her lance around so the blunt end was out. She then did a wide sweep (think a roundhouse kick but with the lance instead of a foot) of the 5 or so fleeing bandits, knocking them all in the head with the side of the lance. She rolled 3d6+4 nonlethal damage (2d6 base plus a hit with a raise plus backstab) against them all. A couple of the bandits passed out, but Kalin rolled ass for some of them, leading to 2 bandits who were now thoroughly pissed off and most importantly, still on their feet.
"Eep! I'm outta here!" She flew up high in the air. Kalin simultaneously noticed that the leader was no longer on the stage as she was going up. She also noticed that the red-haired woman being attacked by a brigand.
“Shoot, she made it this far, she’ll be fine.”
Those words were accompanied by an awfully loud “clang” from iron hitting iron followed by what looked like a brigand choking her.
“Oh shit nevermind.”
She quickly got into position and dive-bombed, gaining speed frighteningly fast. She angled her trajectory like a swoop, just like they had taught her in basic training. It was pretty intuitive, as otherwise the pegasus would crash into the ground, leading to both of their deaths (along with the deaths of the brigand and the red-haired woman).
As the pegasus kicked the man in the back of the head with an extended hoof, Kalin yelled out.
“FALCON KIIIIIICK!”
