Strider cries, in his ringing voice.  "This rabble shall soon fall before us!"  His words rekindle the flagging fires within me; I see the orc's sword sweeping in in a looping cut, and I smash it aside with my buckler.  I grunt at the pain as my already-bruised shield arm protests the abuse, but the orc is left off-balance, and my own sword is already in motion...-----The Inspiring Word didn't cause any existing wounds to heal over; rather, it increased my chances of making it through the next successful attack undefeated.-Hyp.</blockquote>
