Redhook vs Iyda

Ugh, why’d he hav’ta choose me to fight. He seems a lot more nimble than the rest. Gonna be a hard kill.

True to what you expected, he moves like lightning. PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK. The hook meets your shield several times over as you are forced onto the defensive.

Damnit, there’s no way I can get an attack in! Not without taking an attack.

PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK. You block several more attacks, feeling yourself begin to tire.

I have to attack! At this rate, my shield arm’ll falter.

You lower your shield and raise your mace. Your mace swings wide as Redhook dodges towards you and sinks his hook into your shield arm. You yelp in pain and drop your shield out of shock. He pulls his hook out of your flesh and manages to get behind you. His hook presses against your neck as his other arm pulls you tight to his body by the chest. He forcibly turns you to face the others two who have managed to disable their attackers.

“You two! Drop everything or the dwarf gets it.”

Frost is quick to drop her staff. Syvella hesitates but ultimately does the same.

“Good girls, now tie yourselves up.” Redhook points to nearby rope that hangs off the wall.

“Fuck you prick!” Syvella shouts.

“Ah ah ah, careful now. You wouldn’t want to upset me.” The twisted jester presses the tip of his hook into your skin causing blood to manifest. Ultimately, she is forced to comply and ties herself and Frost up. You hear Redhook fiddle with something behind you as his arm leaves your chest.

“You’ve played your part. But afraid I need you asleep for a minute.” His free arm brings a strong-smelling rag to your mouth and nose. You try to resist but the hook at your throat prevents you from doing so. The world fades to black as your muscles relax.
