[The healing seems to help a little, though the wound is still far too severe to fully close. She's still losing blood, but also, she struggles to sit up and opens her mouth to warn Arthur—

Except it's too late, and the soldier slices Arthur's right hand clean off.]

[Very valid of him! As Arthur is clearly not in a state to immediately react, the soldier lifts their sword again, aiming to cut him down—before Opal uses what strength she has to lunge forward, grabbing onto the soldier's hand.

With an annoyed swing of his wrist, though, he manages to toss her to the side. He raises his blade, poised to strike her this time.]

Don't—! She hasn't done anything!

[since he only has one hand now, he's aiming some kind of shadowy projectile weapon at the soldier's hand with the one he has remaining, trying to disarm him again. at the same time, he's trying to tackle him. i rolled a six though so rip opal.]

[Arthur is doing his best here. He does at least manage to distract the soldier by manifesting a projectile at him, preventing him from cutting Opal down, and then Arthur goes to tackle him, to keep him away from Opal—

In the process, as he grows more and more desperate, he will feel his ring grow hot. Then, he wakes up.]
