Xavier was quick to throw his sword and shield to the ground as one of the heavies, a man of about six feet tall, came rushing towards him. The large man tried to ram Xavier to the ground but instead ended up hitting the ground as Xavier stepped to the side while slamming his elbow into the man's back. Xavier felt a stab of pain in his elbow as the thick metal plating of the heavy's back smashed into the weak plating at Xavier's right elbow. The heavy was quickly back up as Xavier realized when he felt the man's leg sweep under him. Xavier quickly fell to the ground with an audible thud as the man moved to stomp Xavier in the chest. As the man brought his leg down, Xavier grabed his foot and rolled to his left. As Xavier rolled on the ground, the heavy became unbalanced and fell.

Both the men were on the ground as they traded blow for blow. Xavier landed a blow to the weak plating at the man's ribs and his jaw as the man slammed his fist into Xavier's back. The other heavy finally broke Xavier's grip on him by pushing him at the elbow joints. Xavier was finally able to get a breath of air as he stood up to face his opponent. The man was obviously injured but Xavier was sure he also had a broken rib or two. The brief respite gave time for Xavier to realize that one of the mages, Cynric as Xavier believed he was called, was about to get in a brawl with a heavy. The man who had advanced on Cynric was slammed in the back of the head by Xavier's heavy hand. The opposing heavy rose from the ground on shaky legs as Xavier was surrounded by the tight grip of the heavy who had been fighting Xavier earlier. Xavier battled against the grip of the heavy as the man who he had knocked to the ground punched him in the chest multiple times.
