Nick shrugs. "How appropriate. We can pretend to say a prayer for his soul after we slaughter him and his old man friends."

Killion almost did not follow, momentarily halted by puzzled bewilderment at the phrase "The shadows'll show him to me."
He opened his mouth to ask what in the Seven Hells that foreboding sentence meant, but instead was forced to catch up with them when they suddenly knew where their quarry was.

As they sprint to the godswood, they cross the bridge at full speed. They can barely make out the man disappearing into the large garden, which is covered in ice. "Together or split?" Nick asks as they run.

"Let's stick together," Amelia responded as they continued after the man. "I'll keep my eyes out."
She slipped into the shadows again to see where in the godswood the man was.

The man has joined up with a few more and they are fleeing north. How they plan on surviving the brutal cold is anyone's guess, as a blizzard may be moving in. Nick shrugs. He has a dagger out but the sword is too bulky to sprint with in hand.

Killion looked to Nick with an eyebrow raised, motioning to Amelia as she spouted more cryptic nothingness, clearly concerned the woman had a brain fever.
"Aye one for all, all for...drowning an old man in a shallow puddle."

The old man is agile but old, and the two fighters catch up to him swiftly. Amelia is stuck puffing behind. A year of too much sweets and only fucking for exercise has left her a bit out of shape. "Show him your impressive unarmed skills, Greyjoy," Nick calls out with a laugh. He wings his dagger at one of the man's friends and draws steel.

Amelia is quite a bit behind, fortunately having taken off her heels and put on reserve shoes that girls keep around. Something like that.
She caught her breath and attempted to bundle a bunch of shadows together and make them slide down one of the men's throats to choke him.

140
Shockingly, this idea works enough that one of the men will be out of the fight for a while, turning purple.
Nick and Killon have two men each to deal with, Nick generously letting Killion take on the old man.

Round 1:
Killion: 123
Killed-ion: 81 (-20)
Killer-yon: 115
Nick: 101 (-10)
Nick's Prey: 90 (-10)
More Prey: 115
Killion tears into his opponents with gusto, his aching wrist no match for pure rage. The old man dodges his strikes, but his friend isn't making it to the retirement community. Nick takes a shallow cut and deals one, maybe having eaten too much at the feast.

Rather than let the man get up at a later point, Amelia crouches by him and looks for his dagger. If he has one she slits his throat.

That was brutal.
Round 2:
Killion: 191
Deadmeat: 89
Old Man: 120 (-35)
Nick: 171
Men: 123/111 (-35)
The two skilled warriors chop their opponents to pieces, essentially. The old man screams out in pain and scrambles backwards, looking for an out. He has none.

Amelia watched the men being cut down, then crossed her arms, staring at the old pervert.
"I'd like to know your name before we end your miserable little life," She said.

The old man stops squirming and giggles. The sound is disconcerting. "Vhagus," the man says. "You look great, Amelia. Do you like my new trick?" the old man dances merrily as he bleeds out.

Amelia's mouth opens slightly in shock as she glares at the man. "You possessed this poor old man, you bastard! Let him go!"
