Good. Keystone didn't like wizards at a distance, he'd rather be up close and personal with them, ready with a polite nudge or significantly less polite bludgeoning, as fit the situation. The only problem was that they often held items of enchantment that made his life difficult. The itinerant brawler had a little magic on himself, as well. Minor items, granted; nothing extremely noteworthy to persons not in his field of study, and even then they were fairly personalized. But the Necromancer wasn't his immediate concern right at the moment. No, staying between the baddies and Sana, until she was better able to move about on her own, was foremost on his mind. True to form for the baddies, one of them advanced upon him. It was an ordinarily pitiable creature, really. A deep-dwelling Troglodyte that had slipped away from the land of the living and whose corpse was given hideous animation to do its master's bidding. While the others around him had their own difficulties, the esteemed J. Illium Keystone had to exterminate a Trogzombie, while keeping Sana safe. Slice of pie. Or whatever the confectionary term was that indicated an easy task to perform in quick order. Keystone glanced back to Sana, noting that Satilla was beginning to administer her arts upon her. It gave him enough reassurance that she would be okay, at least for the meantime. Just buy time, kill the undead prick in front of him. Unfortunately, that was easier said then done. Keystone's foot caught a bit of blood upon the floor, causing a frontward slip. The initial punishing blow went wide as the huge man attempted to maintain his balance. A split second later, he offered up a quick snapping backfist, hoping to keep the beast off of him and/or knock it back a ways. Again, his effort came for naught. Another pride-damaging miss, and out in front of people, too. Ah well, at least he was buying the Healer time to, well, [i]heal[/i]. All the same, a change in tactic might be necessary.
