The timing seems such that Gigue's backwards roll would skew the blade as it comes down, misdirecting the thrust's force and turning what would be a deep puncture into a shallow tear. If you're fine with it, that will be in my next post. I'd like to clear any disagreements beforehand, if such arise.

It is a backwards roll? I thought it was more of a suplex, seeing as how Gigue couldn't really afford to bend too much or he'd break his own neck or back when Sigurd's weight fell on him.

Anyway, I don't think the attack can be avoided by merit of the actions you've already stated, unless Gigue does something else I don't see how an ice-pick stab downwards can be turned into a shallow tear. The thing is, another flesh wound really wouldn't be good enough for Sigurd in this scenario, if he doesn't weaken Gigue it's over, and there's no reason why the sword stab wouldn't work (in my mind) so I can't accept another flesh wound for the sake of prolonging the fight. That being said feel free to come up with whatever, if I think the damage is unfair I'll let you know and if we can't come to an impasse Pollen can judge.
