So much OOC while I slept I want to point out, I never pointed out whether Rue landed the hit. I said that he went to shield bash, whether successful or not was up to you Kissu. Maybe a last second dodge. He then went to try to free the instructor, but had used his shield to guard from any possible attacks. I never said he was successful in any of these, so there was always the possibility to be retaliated against.
