"Who the hell do you think you are?!?" The yell came from a burly figure that was covered in mud.
The man ran towards him, closing in too fast for Geth to cast a Barrier. It had to be noted that he wasn't as fast as Filthy, let alone Blade.
He didn't have time to dodge the incoming ax, but he had plenty of time to block. His staff came up to meet the ax... and he never felt the expected impact.
Thorn had already shifted his body weight and spun in a full 360, completely avoiding the staff and driving his ax into Geth's thigh. Blood spurted out as the man withdrew his weapon and jumped back a few paces, standing beside Blade. Both of them took a tick of damage from Corruption Aura.
Geth watched as his health dropped by over 90 points. It wasn't a massive number, but he would only be able to take twenty similar blows. The wound in his upper thigh was sunk deep into his muscle, though stopped long before it could reach the bone.
