Snippet #2665245

Tom could sense the blow seconds before it came, and that was all the time he'd needed to throw himself backwards and ignite his weapon. The telepath lands with a light clack and engages the two men to his sides, parrying a bright-orange humanoid's broad strokes with a broadsword, before stepping to the side and dishing out an off-hand strike to his head, providing enough blunt force to put him unconscious, but not kill him. These men were to receive justice, not mindless death.

Next, he approaches a well-muscled, red-skinned humanoid with a handaxe. He side-steps his opponent's first blow, an overhead strike, ducks under a horizontal cut, and simply brings his weapon up, cutting off the head of the axe before delivering a swift kick into his chest, sending him flying backwards into a now-split table.

After a moment, he spins to focus on the Minotaur, weapon raised.
