What ya do is draw that sword ya got, growl at 'im, wave it about like a cornered animal, letim buy into what he tinks you are, while you study his armour for chinks an' weakissis 'n sh*t and then when he's nice and confident, and thinks he gots you done..."

With breakneck speed and unprecedented precision, Olrynion grabbed Vokkir and lunged forward. The Kauv'ok sensed something sharp bleed the air, but it was too late. He would look down to see, knocking at his gut: Olrynion's obsidian black knife.
