Exhalation of dying breath reaching the warrior's sharp ears, he examined the small, scaled body he stood over for but a moment, living in the pause that came after the wake of the ferocious strike. The second of these last two, sling still in hand, had fallen but a moment after the first and collapsed without outside assistance it seemed; its mind taxed to the point of exhausting its body and it too laid still, albeit less so, than its butchered allies. It was now at the onset of feet hurrying close, the man with sword in hand turned to note the bronze skinned woman held low over the other man's body, looking back and down to her over his shoulder.

Battle-worn boots sticking lightly to the bloodied road, he stayed clear of the elf and allowed her to... for lack of better words, perform whatever art he just witnessed by invocation of her instrument. Content to let her work her magic, he placed a hand along the engraved fuller of the sword and slicked from its steel surface the blood of the kobolds, casting it aside and repeating this process once again on the other half. Still watching her, she appeared successful and rose to her feet after, moving on to the family and woman who seemed to have survived the ordeal, speaking to them in assuring tones.

Blinking a bit in disbelief, golden eyes perplexed, he looked to the family then the halfling with a slight expression of confusion upon his stubbled face in this fire and moonlit night; he knelt down all the same beside the orc on one knee after seating the greatsword against his back once again - its worthy work done. Observing now, the other man was distinctly breathing, this time no longer drifting between the place of twilight.

[i]"Strange..."[/i] Brannor's voice remarked under his breath as he invoked some of the supernature that laid dormant within his form; outstretched palm taking on a ghostly ash white shroud of which bore motions of faint pale green in its dim light.
