A Sword and a Shield

Dave didn't have the time to think about how Dog knew that he needed to level up badly. He turned away from Drotha and the Monk and charged at the dark elves.

Bud became one with the shadows the moment he saw Dave running toward him leaving his master all alone facing the elves.

Dave was happy with it. This way he would get all the EXP. Dog, on the other hand, held onto his club-whip and guarded Dave from a distance — Not from the elves but from the Lycan and the Monk who were fighting each other, in case one of them decided to take out Dave first.

Dave swung down with his glaive at the nearest elf. This one was still looking at where the Shadow Ghoul had disappeared to, thus failing to see the incoming glaive swing.

The elf died in one hit.

Dog and Bud had done an amazing job at lowering their HP, and they were all one hit away from death. The two Death Knights hadn't come out of it unscathed though. Their HP was in the red.
