Servant of the Axe, 103 - Skirmish and System

Chapter type: Light Conflict (versus others, versus environment), System

When planning a fight against shapechangers, be certain they haven't already infiltrated.  My first indication that something was wrong was the screaming.  Three bodies were already on deck, two of them with their throats slashed.

All of them had black bands around their left arms.

Actually, where HAD they gotten that much clothing?  No, focus, fighting now.

"They're still wet!" the bosun was screaming.  "Go for the ones still soaking wet!"

Others were still coming over the railing, so I moved to fight those.  Well, Lungpiercer was going to have a story after today.

There were only two of them, but one of them had a few levels of Monk or some other kick-type class.  She WANTED to kick my shield, and with the aid of her partner, she rapidly had me against the railing.
