Despite all his zeal, the templar met a humiliating defeat at the hand of the [i]Green Man[/i] whose gauntlet struck the Monster Slayer square in the face. By the sheer quality of this odd world alone, Theodore's face would avoid the fate of being decorated by an imprint of the decorative lion on the metal, but he would not be protected from anything else the strike had to offer. The Light that shone within him had to bow to the feeling of nothingness that filled his senses. The two blades fell to the floor next to the man as he crashed down, seeing naught but his hated Darkness in his eyes.

For a while, nothing was what he knew. But it was then that another surge of Light came over him and he began climbing back up. He smashed against the floor with his fist and let out a very uncharacteristic guttural growl. He clambered to his feet as the outside source of power provided by Wick fed the Light with the means to awaken once more. He picked up one of his two fallen blades and took back his position between the room in darkness where the light had been transported and the snuffer that stood before him and Wick.

The breathing of the templar was unhindered despite all of the beating he had endured. All he felt for it was the emptiness. It would be the same for the opponent. If they harmed him. He bared his teeth as his face once again warped to the scowl of hatred against this man who would seek to impede the mission of the Light. Yet Katia and Cesar were well beyond this buffoon's reach now, so the templar could not help but feel the corners of his mouth twist to a short lived smile. Now all he had for himself was to look after Wick and that was what he did. Another weapon would do him no good against this wall of a man. If he needed to attack, the divines would grant him the haste to do so. He rushed to Wick's side, prepared to intercept any strikes he could. Though with his experience, that would amount only to those thrown at him, as much as he would wish otherwise.

[hider=Mechanics&Rolls]
Theodore is knocked out, which causes him to drop both the swords he is holding. Wick's heal will rouse him back to consciousness, after which he will grab one of his shortswords as a free object interaction and expend half of his movement to rise back from prone position. With the rest of his movement, he will seek a position close to Wick and take the [b]Dodge[/b] action.
