He is then barraged by energy blasts, which easily slams him back roughly fifteen feet. Then, the Paladin slowly rises. "I must say, this is impressive... But not good enough." He says, with an audible cut of fear, anger, and agony. "Try... Harder..." He says as he bolts towards Margaret, after dropping his sword and shield. He is unarmed and attempts to throw an easily dodgeable punch towards her. "Book-worm... Distance maybe your greatest ally... Use it." He says quietly, only loud enough for himself to hear it.
