I'll beat you like the dog you are." He feints a jab at his foe while ducking his blows.[sblock=21-Avardis]I'm not sure Avardis can use total defense since he doesn't threaten anyone (he's unarmed and nonproficient in unarmed strike), but I'll allow it since I can't find anything saying you can't do it.[/sblock]Dirk curses loudly as the thug's blade cuts deep into his forehead. He swings his sword at the assailant!Blood running into his eyes throws off Dirk's attack, as the swordsman easily parries the attempt.[sblock=19-Dirk]You already had your sword drawn  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> 1.

Even as he attacks, he keeps a careful eye on one of the others to keep from being surprised.Asad swings around to reposition to face the swordsman, who, steps away from Avardis, and coincidentally, away from Asad's attack.[sblock=15-Asad]1.

There's no reasoning with the likes of these. Let's put them down and let this so-called 'Lord of the Desert' sort them out!" The dwarven warrior brings the blade of Marakul to bear on the nearest thug, offering no quarter.The dwarf's mighty weapon swings wide, striking only the space between the two swordsmen.[sblock=11-Droban]1.
