[b]Mackendrick[/b] The masked assassin didn't even try to block the sword strike against his leg, merely lashing out with his daggers as she lashed out with her own sword. Her sword tore through the cloth on his leg only to bounce back at her with a clang, as if it had just hit steel, while his two daggers left shallow red furrows down her shoulder. Before he could do much more, she was yanked away by the Cosh. A crossbow bolt slammed into Mackendrick's chest, to much the same effect. His clothing was torn, but not much more damage than that. The piece of cloth the crossbow bolt had taken with it falling to the ground with it. He looked at the man who had fired at him. "That, was ill-advised." [b]Knight[/b] He sighed as the woman refused to run away. "All I wanted to do was kill the vampire." Then he bulled forward as she began to do more of her magic. He wasn't about to give her another chance. [b]Althalus[/b] [color=00aeef]"Fuck me." [/color] Althalus cursed as not only did Keri suddenly get yanked away and thrown into a tree, he was also left alone to fight the man who had just dismissively looked at a crossbow bolt to the chest. [color=00aeef][i]Just what I always wanted to do! Die horribly so that the Cosh can eat on my corpse later![/i][/color] Althalus drew his own knives, cautiously waiting for the man to begin his attack. It didn't take long. Mackendrick rushed him like a man who didn't fear pain or death. Which, Althalus supposed, he didn't. His first attack came from the side, and when Althalus raised his own blades to meet it, his blades shattered and he was sent flying backwards by the hit. [color=00aeef]]"Gods above!"[/color] He spat, rolling across the ground and to his feet. He was certain there were some shards of dagger in his body, but he had more important problems. Like how Mackendrick was still coming after him. [color=00aeef][i]At least Lyn is gone![/i][/color] He thought with a slightly desperate grin as the daggers whistled through the air again. [b]Grey's Axe[/b] [i][i][i][i]If you need me, just hit whoever you need injured with me. I'll gain an advantage and kill them! Simple![/i][/i][/i][/i]
