Blood spurted as the brute's axe dug deep into Lex's shoulder blade. He felt muscle and skin giving way before his collarbone cracked under the immense pressure of the goliath's weapon. He slowly knelt under the strain without uttering a single word, only breathing heavily through clenched teeth. And it was then that another one of the bandits intervened, and thrust his blade towards him, striking true. Not a moment later, Lex's stare went vacant and he slumped against the ground, clearly unconscious, his hands still clumsily wrapped around the warhammer. But it seemed it was not the end for him. Not yet, anyways. He felt something faintly pressing against his ankle and a rejuvenating wave of magic washed over him, apparently courtesy of the newcomer that had not long ago caused the gang to collide with his own group. A curious turn of events. Though it appeared as if the Paladin took no time to consider it. Instead, he gathered his strength, and with the injuries on his back and chest in a much better condition, he slowly pushed himself into a standing position, using his good arm to firmly grab hold of his weapon's hilt. 

 All the while, the feline acrobat had gotten herself stabbed, and shortly thereafter maimed one of the goons into submission with a complex display of agility. Fortunately, she had dashed out of harm's way. The same could not be said for Ulor, however. Lex faintly narrowed his eyes at the sight the rag-clad spellcaster somehow banishing what could be considered -by the paladin's standards, at least- a long time travelling companion, and quickly shifted his attention towards the still-standing goliath. Regaining his posture, he lunged towards his target, paying little heed to the human beneath his boots, and thrust his weapon forward with a sudden movement, meaning to strike the brute's upper body. His still open wounds, however, paired with the bandit's own armored frame, made it easy for the latter to withstand the blow without a noticeable effect. Lex scowled, and one close enough could even hear him produce a momentary rasp. Assuming a defensive stance, he brought his hammer closer to himself and locked his own eyes with the Goliath's.

[hider=I swear guys we're gonna get him eventually]
 Lex returns from a prone position to a standing one, expending half of his movement points, and then closes the gap between himself and the goliath.
 Lex then attempts to attack the goliath, but having rolled a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2883]12[/url], fails the roll.
