Horizons: The Defense of Harro, Storytelling Contest Entry (http://community.istaria.com/Default.aspx?pg=default&nid=518)
Shield up and sword back, he planted himself to face two of them. The beasts loomed over him, their fetid breath creeping over his skin like old spiders' web. They seemed to glance at each other in the instant before they struck, but they were still just dumb beasts, and Terry was an old hand at dispatching their ilk. He slipped one strike with his shield, claws skittering across steel, and easily batted the other one away with his blade. He stepped up between them, sword working left, then back to the right, over and over, until he'd gotten behind their positions and turned around and turned their flanks into chopped carrion.
