A decapitating strike skims off the shield, but you manage to find the same penetration in his armor you did the first time - and this time, the ratman squawks in dismay. You are winning, inch by inch, moment by moment. If you can keep away from that terrible, bone-breaking morning star, or atleast prevent it from hitting you full force like it did the goons preceding you, you might live comfortably to have rid the world of a rat man.
This, of course, does not deter him from trying his most furious best to kill you.

Cestié aims, and takes a shot. +10, -20.

He's just not as good of a shot as he used to be. Much better in close.
*Gestures angrilly at those damage rolls* Aw! Aw, what a waste! This is why rats usually swarm. You're lucky this guy is a crazy loser outcast!
Cestié's bolt whizzes by, cautiously wide to avoid you but missing the rat, too. Bella seems to think this is the best idea, and produces her bow as well.
