Attack the bard

You rush over to the bard and scratch him across the chest, he falls over backwards on top of the dead knight that they were chasing previously. You turn to the paladin as she strikes with her longsword, instinctively you bring your arms up to stop the blow and she cuts straight downward slicing your arms and chest.

Ouch.

If she could see me I would be dead.

You decide to close in so you can minimize her effectiveness with her long sword and bite straight into her shoulder, she screams and instinctively drops her sword in pain.

Deciding to double down you bite her again and she seizes up, shes paralyzed.

She falls as stiff as a plank of wood to the ground.

How lucky.

Having drew blood you feel your arms and chest have begun to heal, the sliced bone which was painful before has now been replaced with a dull ache

You turn back towards the bard and see he has regained his balance. He pulls out a short sword and reads the situation, both of his party lay on the ground, one is dead.

He turns and starts try to run towards the exit, he cant see but he is fast.

Although i have gained some mobilty from leveling i can still only move so fast and he has a good chance to escape the cave.

You could chase the bard, your go back to the female paladin?
