Malmir raced to support his new comrade, slicing the knife fighter
across the cheek. meanwhile, clearly recovering more rapidly from the
wash of blood than Werner Kirsten climbed over the over turned table.
Taking
advantage of the surprise of Malmirs attack Johann swung a mighty blow
at his opponents exposed neck. Years of pulling against the Reik's
mighty currents gave the oarsman's keen blade power and the neck parted.
The gruesome head landed in a shower of further blood at the feet of
Harbull and Wanda, grimacing up at them.
Kirsten at
first appeared to be considering the unopened door to the rear of the
room but then seamed to reconsider. She returned to the stunned body of
the man who had told her to leave. A practised killer would have found
the heart from the stomach moving up under the ribs. Kirsten new to this
deadly work had to find the strength to force her blade through the
thick muscle and bone of the mans chest. But strength she found and once
cleared the point of her sword quickly pierced the mans heart. Opening
his eyes it was as though he looked deep into her soul and then was
gone.
So malmir had a great hit but failed to do a critical.
ReplyDeleteKirsten I felt was asking to do two actions so her go only took her over the table.
I took Werner, Habull and Wanda's silence to mean they were shocked into inactivity by all the blood.
Kirsetn couldn't fail to kill against the prone injured man.
Brutal stuff! Loved the way the decapitated head ended up startling Harbull and co!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Agree with your call about the number of actions Kirsten was trying to take. I got a little carried away.
ReplyDeleteNow we're cooking on gas!
