Attack advantage 2 + damage 6 = 8
8 - soak total = ?
The strike hurts her, and is certainly more than a graze, Lady Ghouri winces as the sword bites into her. She cannot avoid Theodoric and strikes at him with the longspear.
(Ooc: +3 Attack total)
Even with his damaged shield, blocking the attack is easy (defense +10 - damaged shield 2)
Viola is content to let this go on another round, unless there's threat of interference by one of the minions.

The smaller fae appear to be watching or fled at this stage, and with the Maga and her familiar holding their action the next strike is again the older grogs.
Theodoric feels he is winning, so it is with great hopes that he attacks again:
Attack 10 - 1 wound + 8 rolled (actually I rolled a 1, then a 4) = +17
She fights hard but her wounds keep her vicious nature subdued, and defense is not her strength. Theodoric’s blade bites hard and Lady Ghouri staggers backward, the longspear falling at her feet. She stares across past Theodoric swaying on her feet, with blood running down into the mud. She looks to speak to the Maga “ok fine. What did you want?”
Viola nods, graciously. "You fought valiantly. I would you like to refrain from molesting Felven--directly or indirectly--for the next century. Do not interfere with his travels, with his home, or with his toymaking. In exchange, I will not interfere with you or your dominion over this forest."
Lady Ghouri nods too, accepting she has lost and cannot force compliance. “Yes, agreed.” She winces as she slowly reaches down and picks up the longspear, then whistles a long low note. As the Lady starts to turn and limp away she grumbles to you, “thank you stranger, you’ve given us much. We will see you and yours again. Meadow watch them leave and return to me.”
The other fae seem to know this means the confrontation is over and also start to slide away, all except for the small red fox who sits well away up the path watching your group.
Let us retire without further molesting the fae, and report back to Felven.

The journey back through the aegis boundary is simple and the market stands much the same as before. Your group is noticed shortly after you walk across the grass field heading toward the marketplace, but those who spot you nod and smile in a friendly way.
Felven is sitting on a stool aside a table of his toys tinkering with a toy with an awl and small hammer.
Viola nods to Felven, and smiles. "It took a little convincing...." She glances at Theodoric's wound, "...but Ghouri won't be bothering you for the next century. In exchange, I've promised not to interfere with her."
Scott
Felvin breaks into a broad smile which shows the lines throughout his face, and plonks himself back onto the stool he stood from when the group approached. “Well excellent. My wares will be yours as agreed, especially those which excel beyond tops and baubles.”
“It will be good to see the old place., thank you Lady; thank you friends.” He pats the head of the wooden doll beside him who looks up and opens its mouth slightly in a smile.

Ooc: I think that’s done, except us suss’ing out of character what the covenant might want in terms of quantity and such.
We can specify it in broad terms, but gamewise, it's simply an income source of a given value, which has already been determined during covenant creation.

Cool. Best to leave it as is.
