"Still you persist in this fool's tale of what is 'good' and what is 'evil'." The armored champion called up his rebuttal to Theodore as he turned into the follower's attempted grapple, using the weight of his heavy armor and his unnatural strength to prevent himself from being so endangered. Yet, his focus seemed placed elsewhere, not on the rogue bard and whatever new antics he had adopted throughout the entirety of the battle, especially now enveloped in a radiant fire, but instead this slayer of monsters; the flaring passions in the man and his faith seemed to draw a quelling rebuke.

One hand upon his blade, the other raised almost as though to strike, what came next was a sweep of the cloaked warrior's armored heel low at the templar's legs, which were well caught in the process. The mask-bearer, stepping back to initially catch himself, fell backward as the momentum carried through after having narrowly avoided being tossed to the ground in a crashing heap. In either case, the attacker stepped back and took a threatening sweep at the reborn mage, intending to keep her at bay lest she attempt anything now.

Then from beneath the lion's maw, the man turned to address the young, lithe monk who had been harrying him so, swiping the blade before him then letting it rest at hand, a fist clenched in visible frustration; "If you mean what it is you say, you will no more obsess over this 'Light'!"

As worse for wear the [i]Green Man[/i] should well be, none of them showed the slightest of their injuries, at least not externally. Within they hurt, they well hurt at that, as they had been worn down so thoroughly by the combat and its fatigue. It tapped their motivations, their desires, their spirit - the closer they reached their limit, the more of themselves they seemed to lose in the process and become frayed.

The [i]Green Man[/i] will succeed in shoving Theodore prone with one of his attacks by narrowly besting the other man's opposed contest with a Strength (Athletics) check of 21 before stepping one square to the left out of being flanked. He will attack Wick to keep her at bay but fails to find purchase with his attack.
