Dmitri's relatively unprepared attack was easily avoided by his opponent. But then he did the oddest thing. He dropped his sword. This was obviously some funny buisness, but he wasnt prepared for him to reach for the knife, Dmitri had forgotten about, sticking out of him, annd yanked upwards, putting a very large gash running up his rib- back area. Dmitri almost fell down at the immense pain in his back region. He turned away from his opponent, the blade sliding out of him, and oddly enough, sat on his enemy, using all his weight. As he did this he pulled a small scroll and oppened it with one hand and said a small phrase. "T'ruk metosa t'pasem"*
He was attempting a suicide kill, holding down his opponent while they were both struck by lightning would be his plan.
