[QUOTE="Fangor the Fierce, post: 5270517, member: 17100"] Knowing he would not be able to keep his aura going, he decides on a tactful withdraw, as he trades places with a villager who is fresh and ready for battle. (moving to 5,a, then 5,9 to avoid AoO from Treylor as he Withdraws) As he stands, he contemplates on trading out his aura for that of healing, as he feels his wounds. The thick blood covers his spiked gauntlet, causing it to darken in color as the blood seeps between the plating. Closing his eyes for a second, he breathes deeply, taking in the sounds around him of battle.... [sblock=Flashback] [COLOR=Yellow]"Are you giving up so soon?
