As you stand up, you bury the pain beneath your adrenaline, trying to focus on the fight at hand. Thinking to trip him up, you take a step towards the chandelier, but the Knight recovers too soon and takes a wild swing at you. However, you manage to jump back out of its path, surprised at the suddenly unhinged attack.
"Hey! That was one of my favorite arms!"He follows through with a downward swing, which you catch with your shield...
...But you did not expect the force of his blow, and it nearly knocks you off balance. Which he notices.
You fall on your back, but you roll aside as he brings his sword down, and see a potential opening.
...or not.
You dig your heels in as he charges towards you, determined to withstand the attack this time. The Knight leaps. You brace.
With a leap at the unbalanced Knight, you bury your pick in his neck, punching through some gap in his armor. Blood sprays out instantly. However, as you land on your feet and see him remain upright, you know your blow has not killed him. You wrench the pick out and brace for his retaliation.
However, you were too close to do much about it. His steel-clad fist feels like a mountain dropped on your head as the punch sends you reeling, but you stop yourself from toppling over. Your vision begins to cloud, though.
"Had... enough... yet,...vile foe?"
Decided to split it here, since it's been so long and I have more work to do before I come to a better stopping point for an update. But, going by this one, the next one shouldn't be too long. I must say, you had some very fortunate rolls.
