[@Xavier Bloodbayne]

[i]Auz was off balance when Xavier attacked. He got kicked in the chest, losing his breath as his breastplate dented in. When all was said and done, he'd have landed hard on his back seven feet away, skidding another five and leaving a small trench in the ground behind. Auz didn't intent to go easily though. It seemed that Xavier was coating his leg in blood to protect it, but could enough of the blood reach all the way down to his ankle in time, and how much damage could it absorb? 

Auz wasn't nearly as strong as Xavier, nor as durable. Speed? That was a lot closer by now, though Xavier still likely had an advantage. Auz knew this, and he made up for it with incredible timing and precision. He swiped his dagger back the way it had came and up beneath Xavier's ankle as the foot pounded into his breastplate, the narrow, razor sharp blade set to sever Xavier's Achilles tendon and hobble him. It was doubtful that Xavier could reach down with a blade quick enough to beat Auz's dagger to the mark and intercept it.[/i]
