fight

With haste, Ivan moves between that guy with the lantern and the leader of the
slave guys.  He slashes his drusus at the guy with the lantern attempting to
decapitate him (called shot).  If the attack is successful, he will attempt to
dismember the leader's horse, thus removing his advantage of being mounted. 
If not, he'll just re-try his first attack and hope it works this time.  Ivan
will also try to parry the first attack at him using his shield.  He screams
at the lantern slaver, "Take this, you snotty faced heap of parrot droppings! 
Shut your festering gob, you tit!  You type REALLY makes me puke, you vacuous
toffee-nosed malodorous pervert!"
