So much whiff. The girl hits but it dinks off the rat's armor. But I forgot the brute!

vs60 - (1d100)[87] for (1d10+5)[9] at Taalia!

The clash of deflected steel and the grunts of human and inhuman effort dominate the combat, with a conspicuous lack of screams. The cringing offsider takes the opportunity to extract himself from the combat with his badly injured leader; the pair of them look to be ready to run for it, even if that means leaving their companions behind. Each of those companions distracts a different opponent in the combat - the girl lands a blow on the skaven which sparks off his armor, but again manages to avoid his deadly counterstrikes; the brute continues his monomaniacal attack on you, but with no more grace to land a hit than before. But now your companions are there - Cestie trying, failing, to get a ruthless stab into the brute's side; Bella, again against your wishes, charging in despite your shouts and cracking down with her staff at the brute - who knocks the blow aside as he barrels on against you.

Your mind goes back to Silo Road; to the battle of Alfredo's Field, against the pirates, too. In both cases, battle joined and strained at this point of stalemate tension, waiting for something to break one way or another and collapse the battle in the favor of one side. This battle has three sides, but it feels the same. Your blows land on the brute, but insensible he barrels on, mute and focused on your death. If only he was so impassioned about fighting the monster just behind him!
