Dealing with the Sentry

I follow Georgia to the docks. Whilst we approach our destination, I ask "Do you have any sort of plan?"

"I hit the guard over the head with my blackjack, and you move in and grab the stuff. Sounds simple enough, right?"

"Sounds too simple."

"We'll be fine."

We find the guard at the docks. He's a scrawny little kid who must have got the shit duty.

"Keep him distracted." Georgia says.

"Okay." I walk towards the sentry, who grips his sword. With one motion he could whip that blade out and slice me to ribbons. I mutter a prayer to my Goddess before he draws his sword. "Ah, who dares walk here?"

I put my hands up as he drags his sword down my robe. "Don't make me hurt you."

That's when Georgia comes out of nowhere, swinging her weapon towards the sentry's head. The guard faces his attacker, only to receive a faceful of blackjack. Despite the violent blow, the sentry remains standing. He swings his sword at Georgia, who dodges the attack without breaking a sweat. With his attention turned away from me, I pounce on the guard, sending him crashing to the ground. Once he's down, I give him a punch to the face, ensuring that he's out cold.

"No time to lose." Georgia comments.
