Despite the fact that his blows where mere glancing blows he could see that if he managed to get some well placed blows the creature could fall down in the next strike. The only thing that matter was this next series of blows from the creature. The battle could go either way at this point. The option to fall back far enough to drink a healing potion would always be an option at this point if he thought that the creature could knock him down enough to kill him. He was the only thing standing between this creature and some random innocent.<br/><br/>The creature lunged with both firsts at the ready. The creatures right first shot forward and again it was blocked by his shield at just the right time sending it off to the side. The creatures second fist came flying and hit him near the side of his chest. This was a major hit and is its sledgehammer like first struck him hard and true. It was not enough to dent his armor but should he live it was going to leave a nasty bruise with out healing magic. The creature again took step back as it readied itself to attack.
