Nightmare in Katapesh IC

Kharesh grunted as several attacks all impacted him from different directions in rapid succession. The chunk of rock distracted him, leaving his guard open for the blade strike. But the three missiles were going to hit him no matter what. Staggered, he saw Sadar drop to a knee for a moment, and knew he should retreat. However, could he leave a downed man to the predations of these foes? Stay and fall, or run and survive?

The logic of retreat was clear, but he realized it was moot - how could he hone himself if he ran from the opportunity? It was times like these that tried the hardest, and to flee from such a challenge would make him less than he wanted to be. Instead, he straightened up, spat a glob of blood on the floor and smiled at the man in front of him. Squatting down, he stepped forward with both hands some up swiftly to catch the man in the chest and push him back ... hard. Even as he did, he followed him steadily, swinging one elbow at his opponents rib cage as he moved. When they came to a stop, he used the combat to help shield him from the other attacks, bobbing and weaving behind his fleshy shield.
