With a roar he swings his shimmering blade in an all out attack. The blow sweeps across his opponent’s abdomen, scoring a deep gash which the radiating heat from the blade immediately cauterizes.  His dagger follows close behind in a carefully planned thrust that proves to more feint than attack, as it passes over the head of his falling opponent.  With a grunt of satisfaction, the swordsman turns to seek another foe.  One presents itself quickly, as the Púca that did for Béar turns and strikes.  His attack is not well timed, however, and he misses cleanly.The Púca facing Cyr quickly coordinate their attacks, attempting to force him to expose himself to one or the other.  They are partially successful – one of them lunges quickly and inflicts a shallow puncture just above the hip, but Cyr whips the end of his staff around to rap the Daoine’s wrist sharply.  The goblin’s sword falls from his suddenly numb hand.  Cyr’s other opponent is concentrating more on defense and misses his opportunity to attack.[sblock=Current Conditions]Here are the conditions of the party after Turn 01 (and Post Segment 12 Recovery):Skáth – Body: 05; Stun: 09; End: 10; Bleeding (-1 Body in Segment 01 of each Turn)Cairn – Body: 15; Stun: 20; End: 26Gavril – Body: 14; Stun: 06; End: 32; Bleeding (-1 Body in Segment 01 of each Turn)Cyr – Body: 15; Stun: 18; End: 32; Bleeding (-1 Body in Segment 01 of each Turn)Béar is moving feebly – conscious but unable to fight until he recovers some Stun.[/sblock]</blockquote>
