Retconning the narrative thread, BTW.
Oh, by the way, in case diplomacy doesnāt work (and in case it isnāt already obvious), aside from talking, Hawk is all-out defending.

Iāve redone my post to reflect the new reality.
Morning,well I guess having actually hit them now is going to make Hawkās diplomacy attempt a lot harder.
@discbot roll 1d6 +1 points of arrow in the chest
Eh. They might respect us more if we make a show of strength.
@discbot roll 1d6
@Mitchell the d6 dice reads: 1
Thatās two points of damage, boosted to four by the impaling modifier. Not useless, but not a stopper.
I donāt think Iāve ever seen an attempt at āchargingā with a stagecoach before.
I like it.

Itās not exactly a war chariot, but desperate times call for impulsive measures. 
Which way is my horse racing?

Ranarās hammer:
Youāve got the choice between impaling and crushing. Against living things, impaling does a lot more damage, but whenever you hit with the spike thereās a chance that it may get stuck in the target.
The crushing side is good for getting through mail, splatting undead (which take little damage from impaling) and avoiding getting stuck.
Ranar is still shieldless, BTW. Four seconds if you want to ready it.
Also: the centaur spears have a 1-hex range when used one handed. If they switch to a full extension two handed grip, itās a 3-hex reach.
Nicās rapier is reach 2, JibrÄ«l and Ranarās weapons are reach 1 (Hawkās spear is reach 1 one-handed, reach 2 two-handed). You can step one hex on a normal attack, so youāve effectively got 2 or 3 yards of reach.
Since Iāll be at work for another few hours Iād be fine with @Wanderfound running Nic for a bit to keep things rolling.
Basic tactics would be to try and team up with Jibril to concentrate on one enemy at time. Flanking if possible, and trying to use the rapierās reach - aiming for crippling leg blows if they arenāt too difficult.
Ranarās the key at the moment; will he keep control of the horses, and what will he do next?
Which centaur took out the horse? Three? Or the one that was shot?
The ābadly woundedā one that you shot, far left.
Heās still holding a big spear, and has another javelin strapped to his back.
That is some hardcore horse hate right there
Well, consider the situationā¦
Centaurs arenāt from Yrth or Earth; theyāre originally from Lorendil.
On Lorendil, there were no horses.
So, you get thrown into a new world where there are these things that kinda look like deformed people, but are actually animals, and are treated as expendable resources by the dominant people of your new world. And those people have an unfortunate tendency to try and treat your people as if they were just talking versions of those hideous mockeries of real people that they ride around on.
Your relationship is likely to be somewhat complicated.
(note, however: centaurs arenāt crazy, they arenāt normally known to attack horses on sight or anything like that. They understand that horses are animals, they just donāt like being confronted with them.)
Thereās also the possibility that all of that is irrelevant to the current situation, and he just wanted to immobilise the carriage.
