Testing that 'only the best' Dagmar CRACKS the shield of her foe!

And Brekke feels glamour wash against her seeking to rip Speaker from her hands! It ...does not work, for Speaker has a loyalty too

Dirk gets an idea, and on the shieldless guy, he swings Yoel, still in his right handed grip, like a club, smashing Dagmar's foe to his knees and buying her time to take him out!

Yoel gasps "OOWWW"

No, it doesn't work, but she uses the opponent's efforts to her advantage, using the momentum of the tug to shove against her foe, cantripping to Hopscotch him back down the stairs.

This time, the countermagic fails and the fellow is bounced to the bottom floor. Unharmed, but now out to of the way!

The Branch?

The Branch? Huh!

SWING. She hits them with the broad side of her blade, either bruising, cracking limbs, or sending into the air - but no, not lethal damage.

Brekke would love to take the time to set a portal passage trap for when her foe comes back up the steps...but there is no time. She turns and rushes to join the others.

Well, Dirk set him up, Dagmar puts him down... nonltethally

"Then why are you SMILING if you'relosing?" He says as she is now facing two foes

Siv says "Youre better than me" She tells her foe , as she takes a wound, "But I won't surrender."

(Flip those two)

Siv answers "This? Most fun I've had in a fight in awhile. Sides, I don't have to win for you to lose"

Brekke bellows as she reaches the fight, eager for a target to bash!

Dagmar isn't quipping - no, she is steady, strong, and relentless.

Dagmar finds herself facing two more foes!

Dirk never lets go of Yoel using him to knock people over. He's OBEYING

"I will respect an honorable surrender." A broad arc to knock Left into Right, and hopefully both to the ground.

"You are both made of respectable..." Block catch , and wham on Dagmar... who IS hit.. she just is tough enough and her armor is strong that it doesn't mean she's going to be hindered

"Stuff" The fellow says surprised as she bulls through his thrust

She grunts as she is hit. "No hard feelings."

Brekke charges forward.. and sees Siv being hard pressed by her own two

And she kicks like an ox.

Siv sees her mother coming up behind her and says "Care to play through, Mor?"

Brekke takes the invitation and SWINGS.

Siv is good. Her foe was better. Brekke is better still! her foe tries to parry, speaker ignores that and knocks him flat and out.

And Dagmar BOOTS the fellow she said 'no hard feelings to' kicking him to the side

Brekke notices Dirk's technique as she is aiming for the next foe. "Dirk! Keep him alive!"

And a beautiful sidhe woman, the last of HER foes mutters "I think I'm in love. Let's dance, giantess." And she clashes with her, only to roll rahter than match brute force

(That to Dagmar)

A grin!

Dirk says "Heather balm knits bones, boss!" But he instead bites a shield top off

Dagmar tends towards straightforward, but she trained against Siv and Nadeen.

And she has the advantage of reach. She knows exactly where Flyswatter can strike, but the sidhe's sword cannot.

The two could not be more different, the sidhe is a dancer like Nadeen or Siv, Dagmar is a powerhouse with growing expertise. Dagmar has a hard time hitting her, but she may only have to hit her ONCE. She gets a scratch for her trouble.

Brekke's next foe now has no shield!

Brekke lines up her shot...and it looks like it's going to hurt. There's a split-second where her opponent still has a chance to yield before it lands.

"Yield."

He does not

"Never..."

And then a voice from behind Brekke "Shacklebreaker, we're not done" The troll nameless has made it up the steps

Dagmar is patient, waiting for the right moment to lay down her blow.

Dagmar is getting whittled... she waits but can't find tghat best time

Then a rapier from the side trips the beautiful sidhe for just a second!

NOW.

She swings Speaker, but not at the intended foe. Instead, she spins and let's Speaker fly in a deadly dance through the air towards her initial foe.

The sidhe flirting with Dagmar sees it coming "This will be a beautiful pa.." And down she goes

The foe underestimated Brekke's speed. He raises the staff, but not in time, and Speaker takes him down with a shot to the jaw, blunt part against thick troll mandible
