Geo's tenacious display of martial brilliance happened in a blur, faster than Doc could even react. The unarmed fighter was sent sprawling once Geo weaved them with a simple side step, but the twirl and the fluttering sound of Geo's feathers made such a basic movement graceful and serene. Doc hardly reacted in time, perhaps from exhaustion, or just simply not having the combative initiative Geo had. As such, the movement was slowed by the back of Geo's weapon, not particularly viciously but enough to knock the healer off balance.

[i][b]Doctor_Buttz took 1 damage![/b][/i]

Geo's incredible strike landed, embedding the blade just above his ribs. The Beggar gasped in pain and clung his eyes closed, but practically bounced off the blade with the force of Geo's strike, stumbling into an equally off-center Doc. 

[i]beggar bandit took 9 damage![/i]

The Beggar seemed to completely change his target, using the momentum from Geo's strike to turn into a tackle towards the off-balance Doc. In the frantic attempt to keep him away, Doc flung their leg up, slamming it into the Beggar's stomach, knocking both them and the Bandit to the ground. Doc landed on their but, and the Beggar landed on his back, sprawled out and unconscious.

[i]Beggar Bandit took 2 damage![/i]
[i]Each player gained 2 exp!
Each player collects 2 gp![/i]

Unfortunately, the dramatic and triumphant display did not last particularly long. The knife-wielding bandit had crept up on Geo, and this one appeared to be no pushover. The polearm struck him in the stomach, but he did not falter from the attack, and instead whipped the blade around in his hand, putting the blade in a reverse grip before he plunged it down at Geo's back. 

[b]Beggar Bandit Brute took 4 damage![/b]

For a moment, he looked like he would press his advantage. Even if they had parried him, he had passed the true challenge of the spear and closed the distance. But he suddenly hoped back, just as a massive beam of light blasted past the two of them.

[hider=Light of the immortals (cost 10)] Light of the Immortals is a highly damaging, high-cost spell, best used in the early game. It deals 6-12 damage on impact.[/hider]

Doctor buttz call let the beam escape their hands, still sitting on the ground. The impact never arrived, but they were simply glad they did not hit their ally. When their eyes flickered back, they saw that the bandit had landed in a strange stance. The bandit had put a hand on the ground and was currently placing their weapon in their mouth as they crouched down. Doc's eyes widened once they saw the stance.

"Geo! Dodge!"

In a sudden blur, the Bandit surged forward at blinding speeds. The blade, still in a reverse grip, came rushing for Geo's side as he rushed by him, sliding to a halt behind the Avian from the sheer inertia of movement. Doc had stood up, rushing for the battle, but only managed to get a few steps forward before the interaction occurred.
[hider=Blitz (cost 2)] Rush forward suddenly, increasing any damage dealt while moving, both to you and to any opponent. Great for movement and dealing damage.[/hider]
