Asulf wasn't sure if it was the best plan, but he couldn't complain - for one, he couldn't think of anything better, and secondly, it was simple. He liked simple, it was hard for a simple plan to fall apart catastrophically, and the brutish nature of "kick in the door and bash their faces" appealed to him. It was something his body was tensed for, every instinct calling for it, adrenaline flowing through his veins like liquid fire. He had to do something, and had to do it<span style="font-style: italic">now</span>..<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"Here we go, on three. One...two...three!"</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Asulf explodes forward, like a bolt shot from a crossbow, the lupine's digitigrade legs well suited to the sudden burst of speed, catapulting him forward. There wasn't any need for stealth - not for him, he was on<span style="font-style: italic">team distraction</span>, buying Brady and Teran time to do.. whatever they were doing to do to hopefully turn the tide of battle in their favor. He chants, going through the motions of a spell of Protection From Evil, sheathing him in a faint glow, like that of one back-lit by the sun itself. He doubted it'd help him much against the probably-mortal fox-man, but it should keep the imps off of him, which would be invaluable in case one decided to intervene in his attempts to keep Klein occupied. He hefts his shield and raises his mace, pointing it at the large vulpine, but keeps his distance.<br/><br/>"You,<span style="font-style: italic">sir!</span>," he calls out, grinning fiercely both in an attempt to look intimidating to a fair bit larger than himself, and to hide the fear creeping up his spine at the prospect of acting getting in melee combat with the massive fox man. He'd have to avoid a grapple, at least until he could get a few spells up, and even then... Asulf couldn't help but imagine what would happen if he couldn't escape that grip. He shudered a bit, and continued his attempt to call out his opponent and keep him busy.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">Bring it!</span><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Asulf casts 'Protection from Evil' on himself</div></div></div>
