The guards are not buying it, and begin to close in.
The guards are not buying it, and begin to close in. *I don't need to kill them,* Cyne thinks, drawing his greatsword
from overhead, attempting to get the jump on them. *But I do need to get out of here.*

Cyne strikes first, rushing in for the attack, but slightly misses, unable to make contact. His enchanted blade hums
with energy, but strikes nothing but air.

Cyne and the guards trade ineffective blows, Cyne deftly dodging, and the guard focused on by Cyne deftly side-stepping
his blow. Misfortune seems to beget misfortune, as another guard spots the melee in the process, joining in and adding
to the list of attackers.

Continuing to dodge blows, Cyne gives the second attacking guard a quick slip, causing him to lose his balance and fall
face-first into the mud and muck of the alley. *A bit of luck, finally,* thinks Cyne. And then, just as suddenly, a
guard finally makes contact, striking Cyne. The last guard also misses.

Cyne finally strikes, landing a strong blow on the guard who slipped, dropping him. *This is stretching me further than
I hoped it would...* thinks Cyne, as he prepares to dodge another batch of attacks.
> D3 Speed eased one from training: 19, 19, 6
Two guards slip on the muck, not falling, but losing their focus for a moment. Their defenses aren't lowered, but they
may have a harder time striking Cyne for a moment, letting him focus on the remaining guard.
