[/center] [hr] Uzul had been ready to take on all of the bandits to give Kuroi the space to slip through but they have completely stopped their pace, ensnaring them in battle. [Color=#1dc604][i]They don't seem to have enough battle sense to not challenge us. Very well, I shall not drag this out for longer than needed. An elf wielding light magic, they seem to not be ready for an actual battle. Her light magic will be akin to a beacon to any nearby monsters. I need to silence her. The same can be said about the newt over there. His lightning will produce sound and light. The orc seems to have gone through the rites and defeated a spider of some kind. He will be dangerous for Kuroi. My skin should be able to withstand his attacks in the meantime. The kitten and lizard aren't even worth fighting. They will most likely flee after I end their companions.[/i][/color] Uzul greeted the group with an open hand, hiding the other. The battles had started and it seems their heavier hitters have decided to mark Uzul as their query. Uzul was elated that they chose him. They are following the battle he imagined of them. [Color=#1dc604][i]It was unfortunate that I didn't properly deflect the bolts. The kitten won't be looking over here for an easy mark anymore. A shame.[/i][/color] Uzul watched them try and flank him but it was frankly pathetic. The Dragonborn was slow but seemed assured he would cleave Uzul in half. He wasn't the worry at the moment. The speedy orc had leaped at him. [Color=#1dc604][i]Seems he is stupid or insane.[/i][/color] Uzul unclasped his cloak with his exposed hand, keeping eye contact with the ax-wielding newt, showing no fear or worry of his presence. From the other hand, Uzul prepared to launch his metal gauntlets at the Dragonborn. Uzul believed that the orc had killed a spider.[Color=#1dc604][i] His perception had probably raised from the spider, which is why he is comfortable leaping at me. He will be ready to adjust if I swing at my max range and then strike me leading to a critical strike from both sides. So I must keep my focus on the newt for now and trust that my experience will guide my strike when he finally drops his guard.[/i][/color] As they closed in Uzul let his century of combat be his guide. Originally he was going to use his spear but he instinctually switched to his gauntlets right before he made his move. Uzul crouched, briefly hiding his exposed hand. The once exposed hand was busily tensing up to throw 1 of the heavy metal gauntlet as the other hidden hand readied for the counter on the orc. The gauntlet had flown to the newt carrying the cloak with it, obscuring Uzul for but a moment. A powerful twist of his torso turned uzul the other way and he went for a high hook with the other metal gauntlet. Uzul hoped that his instincts hadn't failed him for he had to remove the obstacles between him and the princess's for he was their guide.
