Doc was scuttling away with all their might, but the Brute was faster. The trip had given Geo time to recover but with a single pounce, the Brute was in Doc like a ravenous panther. His dagger plunged deep into Doc’s side.

[B]you take 6 damage![/b]

Doc let in a deep gasp, frozen from pain that wasn't quiet there but still very tangible. Once more the feeling of a blade sliding through flesh and sinew and burying its icy tip in their back caused a shudder.

Luckily, Geo was on them now. His spear proving to be a multi tool of weapons. The butt of the shaft batted at the enemy, but not before knocking Doc in the head once. 

“Ow” Doc said instinctively as it slammed into their head painlessly. Even the way they said it conveyed a detachment from the strike. Like how you might remark about stubbing a toe or bumping your shoulder.

[B]Brute takes 2 damage[/b]
[B]You take 1 damage![/b]
[B]Brute takes 4 damage[/b]

Two smacks to the head where enough to get the bandits attention. He practically ignored the first strike that slammed hard on his forehead, too busy grappling with a squirmy and thrashing Doc. The second one planted the hard wood right into his nose though, and the Brute growled out in pain, blood gushing from his now busted nose.

He was looking absolutely ragged now. A deep gasp, a bloody cut, a busted nose and lip, welts and bruises over his eye and arm. Things where coming to an end, and Doc did some with a sudden roar of adrenaline. With their arms knees gaining ourchase on the ground they threw themself back like a bucking bronco, throwing the Bandit back.

[B]Brute takes 1 damage[/b]
[I] you receive 12 exp[/I]
[I] you receive 2 gold! [/I]
[I]You receive Bandit blade[/I]

Huffing and puffing loudly, covered in blood, sweat and dirt, Doc started to get up. Then, they started laugiing. A genuine, delighted smile formed across their face. They reached out to Doc, first for help standing up but then to high five. Doc looked like a mess, their turban was coming undone and was tilted on their head. They looked like they had fallen down a hill. Still, they laughed like a maniac for a moment before they regained their composure.

“Dude… that was awesome!”
