The Hound ducked under one of Skuzz's powerfull but clumsy swings and countered with a powerfull kidney shot. The big oaf was tough, you had to give him that, the blow didn't make him double up in pain. The next boneshattering blow to his ribs did, however. The Hound was quick to take advantage of it, delivering a high knee to Skuzz's chin, sending him reeling backwards. He followed up with a quick left hook to his face, finally sending him crashing down to the floor.<br/>The Hound had been worried there for awhile, he was not ashamed to admit it, but if this were their champion they were in big trouble. He might be big, strong and tough, but he was slow. They could go one for hours and Skuzz wouldn't be able to lay a hand on him.<br/>Skuzz slowly rose to his feet, spitting out a couple of those awfull scary looking teeth of his. The fool was grining even as the blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. To stupid to know when he was beat.<br/>"Not bad," Skuzz said with that raspy voice of his, slowly unwrapping the chain he had wrapped around his body, "for a no good cocksucking pretty boy leech, that is."<br/>Skuzz sent the chain flying towards his foe with awsome power, but the Hound just caught the small but heavy metal ball with his left hand, trying to cover a fake yawn with his right hand.<br/>"Oh please. A chain? This is just sad." With a mighty tug on the chain, he had Skuzz stumbling towards him at a very high speed. The Hound was just about to hold up his fist and let the fool run into it when he saw that Skuzz was grining like a mad man. The blonde vampire was caught completely by suprise when the Redcap hit him in his shoulder with a nasty looking meat-hook. He had not thought him capable of such speed. The Hound howled in pain as he felt the nasty thing hook onto his collar bone.<br/>"Nice, in' it?" Skuzz said with a big grin, backing away a couple of meters but keeping the chain taut, with the Hound caught like some worm on a fish hook. "I added it to the other side of me chain when I lost a duel to some other poofter recently. I don't know about you, but I luv it." He yanked the chain hard, making the Hound howl yet again as it was now his turn to come stumbling forward at high speed. Skuzz lowered his head, meeting the Hound's involuntary charge with a headbutt to his mouth, sending his fangs flying.<br/>"Not so fookin' tough now, are ye?" Skuzz said, bending his foes head back, exposing his neck. With a big grin Skuzz opened his mouth, showing a jaw that would give a Great White nightmares.<br/>"Get the hell off!" The Hound delivered an inhuman upercut that actually lifted Skuzz of the ground, dropping him on a table that collapsed under his weight, no doubt clutching a fist of blonde hair. The vampire cursed as he slowly worked to get that hook out of him. The bastard had actually hurt him, this would take some time and concentration to heal. Time the Redcap wasn't about to give him. Just as the Hound got the hook out, Skuzz's jaws closed around his left arm, cutting through leather coat, skin and muscle as if it wasn't even there.<br/>The Hound howled once again and threw him off him, the Redcap taking a big chunk of his arm with him.<br/>The Hound clutched his arm, a big part of his biceps missing. That wound would most likely have been lethal for a mortal, especially with all the infections Skuzz's mouth was bound to bring with it.<br/>"Biting now? You're such a girl..." the Hound said through gritted teeth, still clutching his arm.<br/>"Look who's talkin'," Skuzz said after spitting out a big piece of flesh that up untill now had been attached to someone's arm. "You taste foul, leech. But I'm sure it's an aquired taste..."<br/>With a roar the two mighty combatants flew at eachother again, both out for blood. They traded blows for what seemed like minutes, both taking more damage than anyone had any buisness surviving. Finally the Hound delivered a kick that sent Skuzz flying through the bar, sending wooden splinters everywhere. The vampire warrior dove on top of him, his fists like hammers pounding Skuzz's face with furious anger and hatred.<br/>"Die, you bastard!" the Hound yelled as he pounded his foe's face. The big Redcap just chuckled, his face all bloody and bruised.<br/>"You first," he said, his voice even more raspy than before. He defiantly spat a bloody tooth at the vampire sitting on top of him, his spirit obviously not broken even though his body may be. The Hound raised his fist to deliver the killing blow, but was stopped dead in his track as he registered the sound of arrows flying through the air just as three arrows piecered him from behind, one through his raised arm, one through his throat and one actually piercing his torso, the tip of the arrow sticking out of his chest, just a half inch from his heart.<br/>Skuzz pushed the vampire off him, struggling to get to his knees.<br/>"What, you think you can just come in here, beatin' on me boyz, and they'll just stand and watch while you kill me? A fair fight means nothing to a Redcap, and know your skull will serve as my chamberpot. So long, sucker."<br/>The Hound's eyes blazed with fury as he sat there on his knees, to wounded to even move. This was intolerable! Skuzz slowly walked over to him, grabbing his head, obviously planning to rip his skull from his body with his bare hands. He probably could too. Shrieking in rage, the Hound seemed to blur for a microsecond, and then he wasn't there anymore. In his stead there were a swarm of bats flying in every direction, sending the big though Redcaps, trolls and ogres into a panic, shooting their crossbows into the air and running around trying to get bats out of their hair. Finally the bats started leaving through the broken window, leaving a raging crowd of changelings behind...
