The first thrust you give the man pierces through his lung, mortally wounding him though he doesn't scream because of the wound.  When you bring your blade around again, however, his form is effectively blown apart, chunks of flesh alight with eldritch fire flying every which way, though you seems spared from the mess you made of him.  Frightened and angry at once, the remaining man with the longsword began rushed you with his blade held in a thrust, intent upon impaling you even as you tumbled out of his original way.  The man with the shortswords, one quite light upon his feet, still manages to get to your back, tumbling through your guard with ease and striking at you from behind with one of his dastardly blades.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Longsword1: Charges you, 16 to Hit, 7 Damage<br/>Shortsword1: Move, Tumble 17 through your reach space, Attack: 19 to hit, 17 Damage<br/>Longsword2: Splattered<br/>Longsword 3: Dead<br/><br/>Roll Spot DC20 to notice the woman is no longer bound, if you get DC34 or higher, you notice she is sneaking up behind the man with the longsword</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
