Anax sees the witch as the only true threat remaining. He angles himself towards her and sprints to her exposed side to come at her from the opposite angle from Carrus - exactly how he was taught in the syssitia. As he closes the gap he unleashes his full spartan training with ruthless speed and efficiency, attacking every exposed angle to pierce the witch with as many spear thrusts as he can in a controlled frenzy, before slamming her into the dirt with his hoplon in an adjusted manner from the move attempted on Achilles.

The training of Anaxandros shines threw in this moment, While not as elegant or skill-full as Achilles. His movements are much more fitted to his size. First lunging with the spear at the Woman, catching her left side and exposing some flesh under her black robe. His second finds itself sinking into the meat of her Thigh. She gasps aloud in pain and stumbles, barely able to keep herself upright. The third sweeps under her right arm and slices a nice 5 inch cut on her bicep.
Staggering from the barrage the Woman exposes a vital part on her mid-section with Anax taking full advantage of it. Sinking his spear into her torso, As he pulls it back there is a spurt of blood as the wound seems to have connected with an organ. She coughs blood and doubles over, Anax sweeps her feet from under her with the quick movement of his shield. She hits the dirt, Still alive but very much worse for wear.
The Remaining Bandits circle Achilles as he spins the two blades in his hands.
The first lunges towards Achilles with a wild, Untrained slash.
Attack: 9 Damage: 6
Meanwhile the second flanks Achilles and attacks from the back while his ally occupies him from the front.
20 Damage: 7
Achilles knocks the untrained swing from the first bandit out of the air before it can even come close to him. Turning just in time to guard from the second with one of his blades while the second comes lunging up at the exposed Midsection of the Bandit.
The Retaliatory attack by Achilles finds its mark as the blade sinks right to the Hilt. The actual tip of the Xiphos protrudes from the the back of the bandit as he falls limp on Achilles blade, Pulling the blade from the man, He falls dead to the ground.

Seeing Anax deal with the woman, Dicaeus turns towards her Halfling companion and begins striding forwards (stopping 30 feet away). A grayish beam streaks from his hand and the Halfling doubles over, immediately becoming thinner, seeming to visibly age and wither as the Blight takes effect.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Back to the Top of the Initiative.
Achilles stows both Xiphos and pulls his spear from his back. He spins the spear in the air and brings the blade down in a large Vertical strike on the last remaining bandit.
Attack: 16 Damage: 14
The Spear hits the clavicle of the remaining bandit and completely Bisects him. Pulling the spear up Achilles moves to Engage with the Halfling now that the Bandits are no more.
Two attacks with his Spear, First a simple thrust to the Halfling Mid-section Followed by a wide sweep to His legs in a attempt to Trip the halfling.
The First blow pierces threw the Forearm of the halfling, Causing him to drop his Scimitar. Pulling the spear, Achilles sweeps the shaft of the spear under the halfling, catching the ankle and causing some blood to shoot from the wound but halfling manages to remain on his Feet. Though he too is looking worse for wear.
Carrus you look down at the woman. She is blinded and bloodied, the barrage from Anax and yourself have left her in a sorry state. Multiple wounds all over her body, you are pretty sure she is holding her Intestines in with her free hand. You turn the sword in your hand and punch her in the temple with the pommel of the blade. She falls Unconscious.
Turning to face the Halfling you scoff and with the Opening from the Halfling dropping his scimitar. You swing your blade in a heavy arc, Cleaving his head clean off.
The battle comes to a halt as all enemies are incapacitated.
Carrus gives an audible grunt of satisfaction as the halfling's head rolls onto the dirt near his feet. He checks that the woman is not bleeding out but also not about to wake, and then scans the area, looking for other potential sources of danger: Perception26.
"Why are we keeping this sorceress alive, Carrus? She's nothing but a mere bandit, and the most dangerous of the brigands. Allow me to hasten her passing." Anax says, drawing his abnormally large xiphos from its scabbard as he steps up to the body on the floor.

"A fair question. Yet again you prove to be more than just a soldier." He claps the man on the back as he puts his weapons away and goes to check for anything useful in the wagons or surrounding area. He checks the bushes to see if he can find where the bandits hid their ill-gotten gains.

The woman is bleeding out, Barely alive but breathing slowly. She is in a rough way and may not remain alive much longer.
Carrus you see no more sign of danger, it seems there was only the six of them. You see the bodies on the roadside and a glint of metal from further down the bank.
Anax you find some rotten fruit and try to find where the bandits hid their plunder but become quickly aggravated when it's not found where the bandits were hiding.
Achilles steps forward and examines the woman. Pulling the hood from her face, Long pointed ears come free as white hair, stained with her own blood falls flat on the ground. Her skin is a soft shade of Purplish-blue.
"A Drow, Haven't seen one of those in Greece in a long time." Achilles steps back and rubs the stubble on his chin. "Cybele, wake her up. I would like to know what she's doing here." He stands and looks to you Carrus. "You do the questioning, after its done put her out of her misery."

The hulking spartan looms across the road, Dropping his shield and spear. Taking a breath he grips the wagon and prepares to give it his all but finds the wagon fairly light; at least for him. He picks the wooden wagon up off the ground like it's just a piece of dry wood and heaves it to the side.
AFTER you do this Anax, the wagon moved you hear the crunch of coin as you step where the wagon was turned over. Brushing some dirt away you find a small leather pouch, Along with the decapitated head of a Horse.
Inside the pouch you find. 6 gold, 27 silver and 106 copper. You venture to guess this was the entire wealth of the unfortunate family.

Dicaeus goes to the slain citizens the bandits used as cover and begins giving them a proper burial at the side of the road. As he finishes, he kneels and bows his head slightly. “None of you deserved what befell you. For that, I apologize.” He puts a gold piece in each mouth, shutting them gently. “Charon, accept my offerings for these souls. Father, I pray you judge them lightly.” He remains in silence for a minute before standing and rejoining the group.

Currently the Bandits are Dead.
The Woman is badly hurt and Prone
The Halfling is also badly hurt.

Carrus will take advantage of his position opposite Anax to make a strike at the woman with his longsword:
Attack: 17 Damage: 9 (attempting to do non-lethal damage)
If the woman is still conscious, he will attack again; otherwise he will adjust his position to be opposite Achilles and attack the halfling.
Attack: 18 Damage: 13 (non-lethal if attacking the woman, lethal if the halfling)
