The Gladiator

Afraid of taking the risk, you allow the opportunity to slip away.
Big mistake, you realize, as Velkadin recovers from his momentary weakness and slams down an avalanche of attack power on you. You quickly lose your footing, and Velkadin slices at your face with his sword, cutting open your jaw.
'That's gonna leave a scar.' you think dismally. Velkadin watches the blood on your face in satisfaction. He backs up a few steps.
"I win." he smirks.
