Again, your strike connects, this time leaving a long, shallow gash along the gnoll's ribcage. He is most definitely not your friend at this point.<br/><br/>The smart mite seems to have realized that he can't hit you, and also that Sharpspike now poses an actual threat, so he turns his attention on the kobold. Gibbering madly, the ugly little blue creature charges, swiping his dagger at the kobold's midsection. Sharpspike is ready for him, though, and backsteps to avoid the cut.<br/><br/>The two other mites are<em>still</em>unconscious. (Round 3 of 6/5 respectively).<br/><br/>As the Mite's attack whiffs, Sharpspike bares his fangs, his frills popping up as another bout of bloodlust takes him. "Sharpspike turn..." With a roar, the kobold lunges in, snapping his fangs at the Mite's face. The Mite manages to avoid the worst of it, though you can see in your peripheral that its nose is a little bit smaller...<br/><br/>However, taking your eyes off the Gnoll costs you. The hyena-man lunges in again, and even though you manage to drive the point of your blade into his shoulder (-4 HP to Gnoll), he manages to wrench your rapier from your grasp, sending it skittering to the ground a few feet away. As it falls, the monster licks its lips and rasps your own words back at you.  "That's a shame..."
