Re: The Black Tower
Haveron grunted as he moved from a prone position, feeling the tightness in his side and a shock of pain run through him. Glancing down, he saw the wound in his midsection and let out a loud curse that was not quite right in police society.
"Gods be damned, that's probably the worst I've taken..." he said to nobody in particular, mostly to himself. The shield on his back made his movement tricky, but eventually he managed to roll onto his knees and using his sword as a crutch began to lift himself back to standing. Each movement proved to be troublesome, he knew some muscles had been cut in his own lost movement, but also that he'd need a lot of rest before they'd fully recover. Luckily, he could take the burning pains with no more than gritted teeth
"Well, that was embarassing..." he said to the room. His ego was hit more than his body, he didn't recall the last time he'd lost a swordfight...
OOC: If I missed anything in the intermediate time between him taking down the reaver and getting hit pretty hard, please let me know and I'll adjust the post.
