[i]Olythran was still moving, so it didn't hit him in the head. It did strike Olythran in the shoulder blade, while the sword slowly sunk into his armor. However, it began to bend as it didn't pierce it all the way - it would take more than a long sword to pierce the knight's armor, as he slammed his elbow into Ian's chin. [/i] [i]As for Octavia, she swung suddenly towards Dmitri's sword with both blades, knocking him off balance before raising her sword upwards and slashing downwards.[/i]

Ian was knocked back onto the ground with his sword still stuck in Olythran's armor. "Holy shit." Dmitri stumbled slightly and had to step out the way of the strike lest he be cut in half. "You're good... What's your name?"

[i]Instead of breaking the sword, Olythran tore it out of his armor and studied it for a little bit, before tossing it back to Ian and gripping his halberd once more, preparing a charge.[/i] [b][u]"Not the best time to chit-chat, sweetheart."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia smiled underneath her helmet, slashing towards Dmitri's chest twice as she kept her dagger at her side.[/i]

Dmitri blocked both strikes before tossing his sword a few inches into the air and catching it. [i]F-cking repositioning.[/i] He slashed from the right, then delivering a punch with his left hand. Ian stood still. "He should be able to handle this."
