My thought is that Athanar has roughly 36 men on horse, Faramund about 24. The advantage in numbers Athanar has is not entirely erased by the advantage Faramund has of being on defense.

I'm wrestling with how low Faramund would go: does he take the high road and give Athanar's men an out by allowing them to take their horses and leave, or does he take the low road and capture the horses and try to gain the upper hand by force? The latter would put him (even in his own mind) clearly on the wrong side of the law, which would ruin his self-justification, so I'm thinking he won't go there. High road it is.

I added a few thoughts to the last post for Faramund, having to do with his memory of being thrown out. Thanks for the tip, Nogrod!
