Skellig is a fair bit taller than anyone else here, and these men are not trained fighters. The blow to the face is enough to stun the man, take him off his feet. After that, it's easy enough for Skellig to twist an arm, wrench a blade out of a man's hand.
One of the bandits in the back of the crowd has a bow. It's made more for duck hunting than hunting humans, but that doesn't mean its harmless. Kreyu lunges to knock a child out of the arrows path, takes the shot in the shoulder.
She's bleeding and he shouldn't be able to smell her blood from here but he CAN. So much power in it, welling up with every beat of her heart, so much Light. (Does it smell sweet, or is that an echo of before or yet to come?)

She throws more fire at a bandit, kills this one.
