ROUND TWO:
Byntrou's attack finds a whole in the guard's breastplate armor and slips in. The guard winces, but continues to look relatively strong. In reply to Byntrou's comment he adds,
"Surrender is only for the weak of mind!"
Keryth's strike also lands as Byntrou distracts the guard and Keryth is able to make good on the flanking. The blow clocks the guard solidly. This blow seems to have also taken a bit out of the fighter who prepares to take another swipe at Keryth.
The guard's strike takes a serious toll on Keryth. In the attack, the fighter nearly misses a vital spot on his neck for even more damage. As it is, the wound is tough but survivable.
Keryth:

Pwent takes a single solid swing at the guard, hoping to knock him out of his misery. The fighter raises his armored forearm and deflects Pwents blow harmlessly to the side. The guard smilies and adds,
"I've got more bite in me yet!"
Destiny continues to focus on heating up the guard's armor. He looks significantly more bothered by it but still not yet down. She replies to Bahruul,
"I'll keep an eye out for Kristoff, but my money is that he's beyond that door the guard is protecting!"
[Sblock]OOC: If you are asking yourself: "What door?" ... please see battlefield map. I think I mentioned the door earlier, but in case I didn't you can see its location on the map.[/Sblock]
Bahruul is able to get a good swing at the guard's short sword, but the blade bounces off the axe as if the fighter anticipated the attack. A chunk of metal flies off the blade and buzzes by Byntrous head and clanks off the stone wall behind him. The sword is damaged from the Bous' mighty strike - but still useable by the guard.
