Behind Uvedin, one of the pirates thought he heard something. From which direction he could not tell, until he realized that it was not from around him, but from above. He looked upwards, only to have a barbed spear be thrusted through his eye in a shower of blood accompanied with an agonizing scream.
Then, for the briefest moment as all stared at the corpse, a shrill screech rang out from high above, and heavy, fast drumbeats erupted from all sides of the group. From all directions, massive flurries of darts and arrows greeted their targets harshly, slaughtering the dense, crowded group. A massive flood of natives sprinted in from all sides, screaming eerie and shrill battle cries and violently shaking their spears.
Uvedin drew his rapier from his side, and let out a battle cry loud and clear. He charged head on at the oncoming flood of painted, red eyed natives. Behind him, the surviving portion of his crew was being slaughtered by the massive onslaught of natives. Uvedin continued his solo charge towards the vile creatures.
Joran took this to his advantage. He crawled away from the pirate entourage and the suicidal Uvedin, and hid under a bush about twenty-five yards away from the battle.
With his sword raised upwards behind him, Uvedin charged, meeting the massive groups of natives. He continued charging, slashing and stabbing in a flurry of movements while also dodging the thrust of spears.
Now, Uvedin was completely surrounded by hundreds of bloodthirsty natives. The natives circled and circled, none charging, fearing Uvedin’s strength. Then, one charged from behind, and two more charged from in front. Uvedin stood ready, and then slashed in a wide sideways arc towards the oncoming two, cutting them both while bringing the sword facing behind him under his arm, and thrusted backwards into the heart of the native behind him.
