From the doorway ahead steps a new opponent. He is dressed in black plate armor, over which he wears a fine black robe embroidered with elaborate patterns of silver thread. He bears a black shield upon his right arm, and a mace hangs from his hip. He is a handsome man with well defined features, and lustrous black hair. An aura of almost tangible power and evil surrounds the man. There is no doubt in your minds that this is “The Master.”
Kine continues his song, as he watches the battle with his blade held defensively.
At the mention of "the other dwarf" Ragnok fixes his gaze on the Lieutenant... bad thing to do.
"Nay!" His face is a mask of anger incarnate at the taunts of the human-faced snake...
"Nay..." He repeats as only answer, before heavily falling to the stone. In the heat of the battle noone notices, but into the blood covering the floor falls a single tear. But his body is as stubborn as anyone'd expect a dwarf to be, breath hasn't stopped yet.
With growing fury, Dara circles around the last foe and lashes out with her mighty blade. Changing positions proves to be a boon as her opponent momentarily loses sight of her, and her falchion opens a deep gash across the man’s side.
Coraine calls out to the barbarian in front of him,
"Dara, move!" Then, as she makes room for him, he steps up and swings at the enemy, but his axe deflects off the man’s heavy armor.
Otto stands his ground, unable to safely approach one of his foes.
The Lieutenant, outraged by Dara’s wound, directs his blade toward her, but doesn’t even come close to striking the barbarian woman.
Verdis takes a deep breath and tries again to strike the Lieutenant, but his aim is truly off and the blast flies right past the man.
Jorb rushes forward, drawing his greatsword as he goes. He takes a cruel slash from the Lieutenant as he races by, intent upon The Master, leaving a trail of blood behind him.
Lucius continues to attack his foe, but fails to penetrate the skilled man’s defenses.
