Sel dances around the blade of the guard as he brings his sword down in a classicly powerful, though somewhat inaccurate "double axe handle" style cut. With his deft movement, Sel skewers the guard in the shoulder where he sees a gaping spread between armored plates (by his accurate elven standards). The swift blade plunges into the guard, who grimmaces and takes a step back, buying time to compose himself for a second. He was still reacting and being carried by his rage rather than controlling it and using it. The elf was a skilled bladesman and the guard did not want to leave himself vulnerable again... knowing that the next shot might be the last!

Liam falls back against the wall as he holds his head and staggers around, the painful visions nearly driving him insane. Though only a few seconds have passed, Liam wonders if it will ever end and how many more minutes he can endure.

((OOC: Guard rolled a natural 1, so I gave Sel a free crit... but only rolled a 2... still, that's like 12 damage which puts the guard close to dropping. Pretty much any hit now will do it. Liam also rolled low on his save, but not a 1 at least. This morning the dice were pretty aweful. Sorry fellas... oh... and are we missing a member here? Anyone seen Ender_Wiggen around lately?))
 

Liam tries to grit his teeth against the mental anguish, but can't seem to push past the horrors.

[sblock=ooc]I'm fairly sure he's said in the past that he doesn't check the PbP forums regularly without a game. I think we're the only one he was still in, so he may not be aware of the return. You have an e-mail address?[/sblock]
 


Sel makes a classic fencing lunge at the Vile Guard, scoring a perfect shot that punctures the brestplate. The guard grimmaces in pain as his eyes go dark and, falling, tries feebly to catch the nimble elf with one last, but futile, cut of his blade. It is nothing for the Elf to sweep aside the blade with his rapier.

With the guard on the ground, out cold, Sel looks to Liam, who after a few moments begins to come out of it. Though he no longer feels the agony, Liam still can see the ghostly images swirling around his head. It will prove to be quite a distraction. ((Remember, a -2 on pretty much all actions until the second save is made, which may be attempted each minute))
 

Liam shakes his head, but the visions remains. His screams have reduced to groans as he sits up, picking the fallen guard out from between the images that assault his mind. His eyes attempt to seek out reality, checking on the door and the remaining guard.

[sblock=ooc]What has been happening with Kreugar and the other guard while this was happening?[/sblock]
 

Now that it's quieted down a little in the moments after the brief fight, you can hear from the other side of the partially destroyed door sounds of a fight and through the cracks and busted planks, you can see shadows and flashes of men and steel that give the vary same impression.
 

Liam shakes slightly as he pulls himself to his feet, but he waves Sel away, gesturing towards the door.

"Come on, we have work to do! Help me with this door."

Doing his best to remain standing, he tries opening the door, putting his shoulder to it if it resists him and making room for Sel to lend his aid.
