But two more advance, and I'm too slow this time, even with Nicomede's spell. Tremendous force slams into my shield arm even as I decapitate one - crushing force to be exact - and I feel [i]something[/i] crack with the pressure. It's difficult to help myself and I scream in pain, but worse, my shield drops out of my fingers. It's difficult to tell in my armour if my arm is truly broken, but either way, it feels disabled. Backing too far up would leave our quarry exposed, but for the first time in a long time, I feel unsure as to how long I can hold the line for. I try again for a downward strike at the living cursed ogre-beast's head with the pointed end of my weapon, my other arm dangling futilely. [@VitaVitaAR] [@6slyboy6] [@Raineh Daze]
