Tera's pained expression eased somewhat and she seemed to steel herself for battle, the wound showing blood dripping out but she was standing far more steadily now. The assassin growled in anger at noticing Tehr cast a spell on Tera but stepped ahead to try and get around the elven woman from the side and strike at him with the shortsword.<br/><br/>The blade's edge managed to scratch on his outfit's sleeve rather than hit him however, stabbing close to the hand used to heal her, but failing to really find its mark between his ribs like it seemed it was intended to. The swift stab had a fair bit of strength behind it, the man's hands covered by dark gloves but the thickness of a bracer was evident in the sleeve a bit above, strapped on the man's arm.<br/><br/>The other two assassins closed in, one of them trying to slip around the other side of Tera to try and take a stab at him from the other side perhaps, but the man did not manage to quite get that far yet, not before Tehr was on guard again. The third assassin, a somewhat more lith figure in the dark cloak and hood in turn stabbed right at Tera's back at the end of her charge, but the thick leather did not give in, the blade instead slashing against it as it slipped off its mark and found itself only stabbing air besides Tera.<br/><br/>They were all closed in and trying to harm him, none of them seeming intent to let him live, but Tera's mind was clearing up and she stood surrounded now.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">== Combat continues ==<br/><br/>Trying to give a rough idea how the folks are laid out. (T)ehr in the back, the (E)lven huntress in the middle, and the 3 assassins around Tera, the (1)st skilled one on her left, and the (2)nd charger at her right, while the (3)rd bastard tried to stab her in the back after closing in, on account of not reaching Tehr.<br/><br/>=====<br/>==T==<br/>=1E2=<br/>==3==<br/>=====<br/><br/>The first assassin tried to attack Tehr this turn, but after the first critical his 2nd turn only gave him a miss. 2nd assassin moved as far as he could, but it was not straight line so he couldn't really attack to the end of it. The 3rd one put her effort into charging and stabbing ahead, but rolled poorly and Tera's leather is thankfully enchanted.<br/></div></div>
