Another dent made a comfortable home on Claire's battered lance, glancing off and striking its target squarely in the chest. Shame that the owner didn't have enough of a strength to penetrate through his enemy's breastplate. With a swing of the lance's butt, Cuddles breaks the nose of the assaulting soldier! The impact knocked him back with a bloody mess. A visual reminder for the knight to clean his weapon after this sordid affair.<br/><br/>Utterly lacking in consideration or mercy, the blackguard's red<del>tablecloth</del>scarf fluttered in justified rage as his feet pursued the now retreating soldier in an attempt to gather his wits about and figure out how to best win this confrontation. How hard can it be? Just wait for his allies to come by and bail him out! Alas, the waiting! It simply could not be done.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Claire just attacks the soldier @ G17.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">nerdy calculations</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">Battle Inventory:<br/>  Name            Rng  Atk  Hit  Eva  Crt  AS  Ql<br/> - Iron Lance      1   014  090  005  002  02  35.

Afterwards, Cuddles pulled out the bloodied tool as soon as he realized that his gesture had caused the bloke awful pain and injury. Without a hint of remorse or the courtesy to offer the services of a surgeon, the satisfied knight resumed his defensive stance following several steps back.<br/><br/>Attempting to repay his kindness, said soldier reciprocated and gave a harsh poke to Cuddles' tummy in hope that he'd let out a smattering of giggles in response. Or a howling of pain. The attack brought about neither, as Claire's lack of social grace or awareness is a far stronger armor than any magical barrier in the existence of Galatia.
