Meet the man in combat, hells you can fight them all if they will!>89Well you had been of a mind to just leave, but once a challenge is leveled at you, you aren't backing down! Certainly not from some wretched little human. Though you would have preferred to be fully prepared, like with your Atlantean statue to use as a weapon, but you'll just have to make due.
<span class="mu-b">"Very well! Tanaloa, daughter of Kili'ou'lokane, accepts your challenge!"</span> you bellow with a powerful voice that frightens the horses.
<span class="mu-s">"Ha-HA! And I, Emir Faysal Ibn Mansur al-Abdari will meet you! Let all know of our battle, so history will remember our- wait, daughter?"</span>
The bold fellow is cut short when you charge, and rather unceremoniously pick up his horse and throw it at the mage. Faysal falls free by how strongly and quickly you raise and toss the shrieking animal, and he hits the sand in a stunned mess. You don't envy the mage, as a full-sized horse flies through the air and collides right into him and his hippocamp, smashing both asunder.
<span class="mu-b">"-ha! Now, little man, see if you can fight without your- uagh!"</span>
Watching the results of the attack on upon the mage with a mad grin to your face, you turn to Faysal ready to bear down on him with the full fury of a sea monster. Same as you cut him short however, you yourself are cut short by a sharp pain through your chest. A lance skewering you, it seems the armored warrior of the trio was either quick to act or just waiting for you to move, and charged upon his own horse with lance lowered. And since his horse has blinders, you can't frighten the animal.
