Desert Attack

We were on our way to Jenne when we were attacked by local warriors. It was just 5 men and I believed them to have little to no experience in fighting. Ibn, who was unarmed, tried to find a weapon while Mark and I attempted to fight off the attackers. The attackers had not made a plan of attack obviously, and attacked one at a time. This made it much easier for Mark and I to disable to stop them. Within a relatively quick time, all of them were either seriously injured or dead. We managed to escape nearly scrape free except for a few bruises from being hit by rocks. Mark and I chose to bury the dead and regretfully, loot their corpses. We found a fairly large amount of gold on them and behind the rock that they came from was some goods like dates and cloth. We figured they must of robbed some traders before us. We took these items and added them to our wares and returned to our travels.
