As she slipped out of the water, one of them called out, "What was that?" followed by the sound of a weapon being drawn. It was loud enough to wake anyone else who might be sleeping on the barge, as well, as the guards hurried towards the source of the sound.<br/><br/>One of the two was on her almost before she could react. "Monster!" he cried, as he struck, bringing down a bastard sword one-handed.  (28 to hit flatfooted; 7 damage.)<br/><br/>He took the blow, and staggered, but remained on his feet. His partner quickly came up on the other side, setting up a flank on her! (25 to hit, 16 damage.)<br/><br/>The first yelled louder, to try and draw attention, swinging again. (Also 25 to hit, for 11 damage.)
