He missed!

[i]But not completely, thank fuck.[/i]

Zell felt both blades sink deep into the ogre.  One would think it'd be enough to bring it down.  At least to it's knees.  Instead Zell was left to play 'Ride the Bucking Bronco' for the time being.

"W-woaahhh! Oh shiiyyyiiiyyyiiiyyyiit!" Zell yelled out as he swung this way and that from the hilts of the swords, trying but failing miserably to get his feet planted on the back of the Armoured Ogre and gain some stability.  In his dynamic positioning, he caught a glimpse of James and realised the ogre was running toward his new friend.  "James watch out!"

He didn't even get a chance to see if the man was dead or dodged as the Armoured Ogre stomped it's way across the battlefield while Zell hung on for dear life.  When he finally got a single foothold on it's back, the massive sword came arcing around and Zell was forced to swing out of the way.  The constant bounce of the rampaging ogre didn't stop but the frat-boy-turned-swordsman gained his footing once more - this time with two feet firmly planted on the ogre's back.

Zell yanked his own sword free of the ogre's flesh, leaving the other in there so he could hold on.  The ogre's masive sword came around again, this time from the other side, and Zell managed to parry away what would have been instant death.  With one hand he pulled himself higher up the ogre's back to see what was going on - and what that purple light show was - and (unfortunately) the ogre chose that time to come to a sudden halt, sending Zell flying overhead.

"Waaaaah!"

The sheer velocity of his flight knocked over two fleeing skeletons like bowling pins and then he smashed, upside down, into the wooden beams of the eastern gateway, smacking his head against solid wood.  As he struggled to get to one knee, his vision blurred and swayed, but his attention was captured by the sound of another stone coffin hitting the ground just outside the town gates.  He smirked as he realised that it'd just splattered a bunch of skellies when it landed, then he struggled the rest of the way to his feet.

"Oh nice, we've got reinforcements," he commented to no one in particular.  He looked over at the ogres, then took a step towards them before pausing due to a really bad dizzy spell.

Two seconds. Three seconds. Four. Five...

"Alright... I'm okay," he said to himself.

Then he took another step and fell unconcious.  Flat on his face.
