The rain was getting heavy. Thunder was heard every now and then. Oliolli didn't like the situation. The rain and darkness made it difficult to see, and the sound of the rain and thunder made it difficult to hear. Even so, the tracks continued and were easy to follow. Oliolli could hear the running steps behind him through the rain too late - before he could react, Oliolli felt an incredible pain in his right shoulder, as the axe sunk in. Oliolli remained capable of acting despite the pain, and he quickly stepped his left leg behind himself and positioned it behind where the attacker's left leg should be. He then kicked forward, displacing the attacker's footing. Using the split-second he had earned Oliolli kicked back with his right leg toward the attacker's right leg. The attacker's reflexes were faster than it's thoughts, working to move the leg out of the kick's way, further disrupting the attacker's balance. His right leg now between the attacker's legs, Oliolli kicked up. The attack connected, and a pained groan could be heard from behind. By now the attacker had regained it's balance, and pulled the axe out of Oliolli's shouder. Anticipating this, Oliolli was ready to spin as soon as the axe was taken out. Rotating to his left, Oliolli slashed at the attacker with his sword and kept turning until his freely flailing right arm, still holding onto the slade hammer, came about and almost struck at the attacker, who blocked, only to be knocked off balance by the momentum of the slade hammer. Now facing his attacker, Oliolli lunged at it, sinking his sword into the chest of the attacker, piercing a lung. Finally getting a good look at the axe-crazy attacker, all Oliolli could see in the darkness was that it was human. A man, to be exact. As Oliolli pulled the sword out the axeman struck at Oliolli again. Oliolli was surprised by this, as he hadn't expected a human to still remain working so well after a pierced lung and probably a broken rib or two. Even so, Oliolli's reflexes kicked in, causing him to dodge the attack, turning to his right. The last Oliolli saw of the axe was that it was still in motion, being prepared for another attack. The attack came too quickly for Oliolli to react, the axe sinking again into the same spot as last time, nearly cutting a large chunk of flesh, arm included, off. Oliolli understood that the chunk would have to come off sooner or later, so he tried a gamble: he stabbed the adamantine sword through his own side. The sword cut the blade off the axe, leaving it nearly useless. In addition it released the dead weight, which dropped to the ground. The pain was incredible, of course, but Oliollis are capable of withstanding it. The attacker threw the mangled axe away and instead grabbed the slade hammer, which was still held by the hand of Oliolli's detached arm. Taking some distance to the attacker, Oliolli turned around to see him charging, holding the slade hammer above his head. Oliolli ducked to the left as the blow came down, and immediately attempted to cut off the human's hands as they were pulling the hammer out of the ground. The axeman anticipated this, releasing his grasp on the hammer, and, to Oliolli's surprise, started spinning clockwise. Oliolli soon realised why: as soon as his hands were near the hammer again, the axeman grabbed it and used his momentum to swing it at Oliolli, who jumped to avoid to strike. Oliolli didn't jump early enough, and the hammer struck him in the right knee with massive force. Oliolli was sent into a front flip by the blow, but soon realised how he could use this situation to his advantage. As he was in the air upside-down, he slashed at the attackers hands, cutting the right one off at the wrist. The remaining momentum in the hammer took the human off balance as Oliolli fell to the ground. Acting quickly Oliolli rose to his feet, instinctively avoiding his right foot. Seeing the axeman lying on his face, Oliolli took a step towards him... forgetting about his right foot and fell down. Oliolli tried to set his arm down to break his fall, accidentally positioning his it so, that as he fell down the sword's blade cut the axeman's head into two. When Oliolli got up again and saw the attacker dead, he would've facepalmed, if he had still had an empty hand to do so with. Once he was sure the attacker was dead, Oliolli turned his attention to his own wounds. His right foot was bent to an unnatural angle and the missing chunk of flesh would cause problems if the blood wasn't stopped soon. Using the sword, his remaining hand and his teeth, he managed to create makeshift dressing large enough to cover the wound out of the axeman's shirt. Oliolli put it into the right place, made sure it was tight enough and got to work on making a handle of some sort that would allow him to carry both of his weapons back to the fort with only one hand. The loss of blood had been great, though, and Oliolli had to stop for rest soon.
OOC: Please, don't Deus Ex Machina Oliolli out of there or anything. He can make it back to the fort on his own.
