Admiral Ackbar

-Dalen forest, near Ragodast. Early evening, 0 DSTR-

The sound of hooves on the bare soil of the trail could be heard from quite a distance, but the pace the horse was taking had decreased significantly. This slightly threw off the timing of the trap, but it also eased the nerves of the initial trio that would have been at risk of being trampled had the force been going full tilt. Waiting for the rider, who matched the description their commander had given them, to wander into their trap, the pikemen held tightly to the shafts of their spears. A few of them had halberd to help in pulling a rider down should they get testt, and a few swordamen had come up to reinforce them when runners let it be known that the target was taking this path.

Timing the horse's gait, the initial trio moves into the trail blocking the blonde rider's path and levelling their pikes towards the horse's chest. They would do their best to not kill the horse, for it could go for quite a pretty sum at the market, but they were not going to allow it to trample them in the effort of letting it live. As they steadied shoulder to shoulder, the flanking pikemen, one on each side armed with a halberd, moved out of the brush and aimed their polearms at the woman.

The middle man in the initial trio smirked before calling out, "Why don't you stop your horse and dismount for us. There is no need for things to get ugly." As if on cue, the final trio cut off her rear escape as six swordamen stepped from the surrounding brush. Two flanked either side of the initial trio while the remaining two flanked the final trio, one on each side.
