Rolling 2d6: 6 + 3 = 9
Ronaldo's sword strikes true against his target, cutting a large gash across the guard's chest. The guard is knocked off his (high)horse, clutching his chest in pain.
The second guard swings from the other side, but Ronaldo is able to dodge the blow by a hair, only suffering a light graze on the shoulder.
After a single pass, Ronaldo comes to face the guard that is still mounted, who looks visibly enraged at what happened to his buddy.
"You'll pay for that you bastard! I'll have your head hanging on my saddlebag!"
The second guard comes at Ronaldo once again.
