Revenge of the Ronin

You move closer for a better look. There are over a dozen bandits on horseback, but they are a haggard and undisciplined looking bunch. You wager that with your years of training and battle experience, you ought to be able tip the scales in favour of the villagers.

You are on a hill overlooking the village, hidden behind some shrubs. From your vantage point you have a view of the entire battle.
