Re: Chapter 2
In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 545):
"Fine, DO IT!" Melg yells, releasing Brennan's cloak. She raises her cleaver, "but you'd better not miss!" She prepares to lop Brennan's head off if he misses again.
"Bryce, you traitor!" the old man yells, pointing his weapon at the demonspeaker. "Get your carcass out of my keep!"
The old man steps toward Bryce, sword raised.
Bryce, who was advancing with one hand behind his back, stops in his tracks. "It's your home, fair enough," he yells back, "I'll not step closer."
Enrei easily disarms the brother beneath him and leaps to his feet. His opponent is less interested in fighting back than he is in the cup, however, because halfway up he grabs hold of the other side of it.
"YOU'LL NOT HAVE IT, MONSTER!" he grunts.
At that point, the wounded brother lands a solid punch right in Enrei's jaw (2 Shock, head).
Titus is unable to coax the horse into stomping on or jumping over the people blocking the exit.
Combat Round
Bryce is holding by the Keep door, with the old man advancing on him.
Melg stands ready to kill Brennan should he shoot another one of her brothers. but is not holding him.
Enrei is half-standing, straddling one of the brothers and wrestling for control over the chalice. Enrei is, however, now armed with a club.
The prone brother has 2 shock legs/arms/head 4 shock torso
The second brother is bleeding and has lost use of his arm, but is no less inclined to fight.
