The fierce weapon, with its strange edges and stranger engravings, moved fast - deathly fast at that. For as swift as the small lizardfolk was, it was all for not as the ferine champion brought his sword about once more in a mortal stroke even more swiftly; there existed a brief clatter to the dusted gravel and the spattering of blood then nothing more. The run ended before it truly had begun and Brannor clasped a gauntleted hand about the weathered leather bound ricasso of the weapon, collapsing the greatsword to a position of rest for a moment to survey his surroundings.

Peering and scowling as he was with brow narrowed, not fully spent of his wrath, he shifted his body weight to an advance toward what remained of the combat and maneuvered like a man with great purpose across the dirt and between the burning hovels. Drawing up to a scene he just bore witness to in which, by some chance, the orc warrior had narrowly evaded one threat only to have fate strike him down with another. Fallen as the green figure was, clearly drifting between the waking world and those of darker dreams, there was hope in the aspiring paladin's heart that his new companion would hold out.

All Brannor needed was time and that? That he could buy the half-orc.

First, the obvious threat needed to fall, and with the fur and chain dressed man approaching as he was with greatsword at the ready before him, that was of great likelihood. The second of the two kobolds, celebrating as it was, wasn't long for this world as Trear was likely to wedge an arrow's point firm between its eyes if Parum didn't outright shatter its mind first. But the dagger-bearer? That was fair quarry, but a kill truthfully belonging to the orc-blood.

Stepping with his swing, but feet away from Orchid who was still reeling, the sizable man hewed a cleaving strike from the side of his body near across the other in a manner one could almost describe as reaping. His exhale that accompanied it was a loud, pained snarl as the injuries of earlier stung and now stained his green and brown garb further with his blood, but these things only drove his attack to greater ends.
