[@Xavier Bloodbayne]

[i]Auz slowed down a little bit an instant before having to encounter the blood puddle, so that Xavier would reach him first. When Xavier swung, so then did Auz twist and bring his inverted sword sweeping down with frightening speed. His intent was to hack the thick of the blade into Xavier's forearm to sever muscle and tendon, effectively rendering the arm useless should the blow land. Just like when Auz stabbed his opponent's arm before, Xavier had the momentum of his own attack working against him. Of course Xavier could try to tank or deflect the heavy blow with his club arm, but he'd find that even with an armored hide, the raw cutting power of Auz's two-handed mordhau swing was incomparable to his earlier attacks. Either way it'd hurt like a bitch. An instant later Auz would attempt to leap high over the blood. The spike could shoot up still and probably catch Auz, but it'd likely be less damaging as he'd be quite a good jumper with as much speed as he had. Less damaging in this case would be a very, very subjective term, though. For most men with a bloody stalactite up their gooch, life was over. For Auz, it'd mean flipping head over heels like a ragdoll having its period, spraying blood this way and that from his ass which'd be penetrated up to the point of his lower intestine.[/i]
