The leader tries to parry, evidently a quite able combatant, but Shiver's strike batters the blade aside, drawing blood, but the half-elf looks like he can still take a fair bit of punishment. He grits his teeth and promptly retaliates, Shiver guarding two of his strikes, but one short sword stab slips past, dealing 7 damage.

As one of the Zhents is right next to Sėle, Teeka does not take kindly to someone threatening her preetty man, grasping her bloody dagger (herself also soaked in the blood of her victim) and immediately launching herself at the Zhent's back. It is ultimately a sloppy attack due to all the chaos that is going on and still needing to properly regain her balance from the jump, but with Sėle's ability to distract and outmaneuver, the strike just connects, leading to very literal backstabs and another black-clad man falling.

Sėle moves to flank the leader for Shiver, attempting to strike the other remaining Zhent with his bare fist, but the blow is avoided. The Zhent meanwhile attacks Shiver and even scores a lucky hit, but only deals 3 damage.

(Shiver's turn. 48/68 HP. Shiver receives +8 on her next attack against the leader due to Sėle's enhancing flanking and aid another. One other Zhent beside the leader still alive and unharmed.)
