The dwarf listened as the captain decided to escalate the fight.  [color=gold][i]Please Stone, let no one be lost. These men have families too.[/i][/color]  The knight prepared to carry out the fight in a non-lethal manner.

Suddenly a body slammed into the tavern wall. Gorun saw the golem pound a man to death.  At that point, Gorun knew that there was no way a peaceful ending could occur.  To put it quite simply, allowing the soldiers to live would mean that they could raise an alarm.  Gorun lept from in front of Jericho to the line of the opposing group, covering himself with his tower shield.

[color=gold]"Hey, you four fools!  Stop looking pretty and fight me!"[/color] The knight met the enemy line, trying to taunt them into attacking him.  If it worked, it would mean that Gorun could block shots and distract while his allies killed off the rest.  Gorun could handle up to six if he took guardian stance and fought in a purely defensive fashion.  However, his opponents were wary from the golem and could try to retreat.
