Oops, I made a mistake.  Armor reduces the chance to hit not the damage inflicted.  Sabrina still hits and the Red Knight takes the full 8 damage.

Did my tossed torch do anything? I will then continue to attack

"Pelinor, why is he doing this? We're friends of Arthur!", James says to the sleeping knight beside him, almost in tears from the severe burning he has just received. "Why don't you save us!"

The Red Knight side stepped the thrown torch.  It lies on the ground short distance behind the fray, still burning.

We lunge at the knight once more

Recovering your wits and unencumbered by heavy armor the trio of college students moves before the knight.

Sabrina thrusts again with her rapier but the blow glances off of the knight's mail.  Nick slashes his foe across the face drawing forth a spray of blood (6 damage to knight).  John rushes into the fray and takes a wild swing at the knight with his baseball bat, but the knight ducks under it and then hacks into Nick's left arm leaving a frightful gash.(8 damage to Nick).  Bloodied and breathing heavily the three students of today and the warrior of the past eye each other grimly, summoning the strength to continue and looking for the opening to deliver the final blow.

In tears from pain and fright, James lies on the cavern floor among the sleeping knights, wondering how his excellent adventure turned into such a nightmare.

NIck lowers the tip of his sword, ready to spring back from the knight. He is hoping that the knight will take the bait giving the others a chance to strike unopposed. If he does not take the bait Nick will attempt to get under the knights guard and attack

Sabrina presses her luck and attacks again

James remains huddled next to Pelinor, uncertain what to do to stop the Red Knight, and getting progressively more scared and upset.

No I'm Not. I'm not huddling scared like a little girl!

((Ooops! Sorry, corrected post above! ))

That's okay little bunny

John winds up and lands a vicious blow against the knight's knee with his baseball bat.  7 damage to Red Knight.  Nick feigns greater pain and fatigue than he's in, drops his sword and staggers back a step.  The Knight lunges at him.  Nick avoids most of the blow but takes a small cut on his right hand.  1 damage to Nick.  As the knight moves in on Nick, he leaves more of his flank exposed to Sabrina who presses the attack with her rapier and drives it halfway to the hilt into the Knights side.  5 damage to Knight.  A trickle of blood comes out of the knight's mouth, and then suddenly...he's gone.  The knight, his armor, and sword are simply no longer there.  You'd think you might have had some kind of group hallucination, but your wounds are quite real- and quite painful as the adrenaline starts to wear off.

James quickly tries to wipe his tears away before any of the others see them.

After wiping his tears, James emerges back out into the open. "If we try to go through that door again, do you think he will come back?" He asks the others worriedly.

James goes over to where Bedivere's empty place stands. "Didn't the poem say something about Bedivere?", he says quietly. He reaches forward to take Bedivere's torch...

Nick removes his bloodied shirt and begins ripping it into strips to bind our wounds. He'll do Sabrina first then John and do what he can for himself. He'll the put on a clean t-shirt from his bag.
