The Baron gritted his teeth in frustration. He was a bit too angry to think entirely straight, though that did not mean he wasn't dangerous and skilled in his own way. He glared daggers at Camilla, and Cyrdic backed his companion up a bit as the two groups tried to gauge a weakness in the other, or perhaps they were each suspicious the other group would charge. "Go after the Baron," Cyrdic breathed, his voice so low [i]he[/i] almost didn't hear it. It was true the Baron hated both of them, but he was mostly angry at Camilla for the misguided sake of his son. Cyrdic also knew Hans fighting style, at least somewhat. He wasn't sure if he could beat the Greatsword, but perhaps he could hold him off... "Go," he growled, and suddenly Cyrdic charged, drawing their attentions with a cry to Sigmar and Ulric. Furiously he stabbed forward, and then backpedaled, blocking with his shield and hacking away weapons with his sword. Soon it was just he and Hans, neither able to gain an edge over the other as the two dueled. As the battle commenced, Cyrdic had managed to circle himself around within striking distance of the Baron. Not with his sword, but Hans saw too late Cyrdic's proximity to his liege and Cyrdic knocked the man with his shield, stumbling him. [@Penny]
