[IC] The Redbrand Hideout
The ruffian currently pinned beneath Burgess flails around, struggling to grasp his fallen shortsword, but cannot find it. The dog continues to thrash him about in its jaws. Eventually, with a straining grunt, the man pushes the dog up off his body and flings him backwards. Burgess immediately bounds forward again, but the bandit manages to pick up his loose sword and scramble to his feet before the dog can close the distance again. The bandit crouches, blade in hand, ready to accept the dog's second charge.
With a defiant sneer, the black-haired bandit in the doorway shrugs off the pain of his wounds, raises his weapon and charges into the room. Staggering with drunkenness, an arrow still sticking out of his neck and frost congealing across his torso, he stumbles forward to thrust at Rudo. The dwarf laughs in his face as he easily brushes the clumsy attacks aside.
Meanwhile, the halfling bandit beside him darts into the room in the other direction, angling his thrusts at Zhaquadan. The dwarf gets the impression that were his attacker sober, his attacks might carry some weight of skill, expertise even. But in his current bumbling state they prove no more threatening than the onslaught of a squirrel. Zhaquadan easily blocks every thrust, following up the final inept stab with a sharp bash to the halfling's face using the broad surface of his shield. The small bandit is deposited squarely on his rump as his blade goes clattering to the floor.
A fourth face appears in the doorway. It's the aging eyepatch wearer, still wheezing a bit from the devastating blow he took to the chest a minute ago from Zhaquadan's warhammer. This time, surrounded by allies, he finds the courage to seek revenge against the dwarf who wounded him. And once again Zhaquadan's shield rings with the impact of a series of failed blows.
