(Harrumph.)

Dralnach was a hardened warrior and had survived some impressive injuries over time, but the Reachman found out a little late that J'Baad was nothing like the heavily-armored mercenaries employed by Jarl Igmund or deadly creatures one might find traversing the untamed wilds of the Reach. Dralnach had attempted to counter by bringing his axe up to cleave off J'Baad's hand, but he had not moved quite quickly enough and soon found himself collapsed on the ground, breathless and in a great deal of throbbing pain. However, already the rage and frustration of being put down so easily was surging in the Reachman's blood, giving him an extra boost of strength and working to clear his semi-fuzzy vision, although he could not rise to his feet just yet.

Ma'Jharo, who had aided Zanir in cutting down large numbers of the remaining Thalmor, who by now were quite few in number, turned again as J'Baad began clambering up the tree. He had heard Dralnach's war cry but it took him a moment to spot the Reachman, who was still collapsed on the ground but attempting to rise on his own. Ma'Jharo may not have had any true feelings of companionship towards Dralnach, but seeing his would-be comrade collapsed on the ground didn't exactly sit well with him, either. Problem being, Ma'Jharo couldn't climb up and do anything to stop J'Baad, since he couldn't climb very well. The Khajiit tried to think of something he could do, looking around for something he could use to disrupt J'Baad's efforts, then noticed the elven warrior bleeding to death in front of him. From there, it didn't take much before the somewhat-crazy Ma'Jharo had come up with his best attempt at a disruption.

As J'Baad continued to climb towards Daithi, he suddenly found himself under attack from a hail of helmets, boots, and gauntlets, all thrown by the Khajiit warrior himself as he attempted to keep the assassin distracted.
