853 AD, Midwinter

Unfortunately for him you're too well trained in combat to just get stabbed and die like that. You evade his strikes and manage to call for guards. Then you manage to get into wrestling situation: first you bring him to the floor, then snap his arm against his back so hard you can hear the crunch, and then after he screams in pain and releases the knife you grab it and stab at the man, just as the guards burst into the room.
You did too well however, and actually managed to hit right into his heart. Sometimes being trained to kill is a detriment, it seems.
