The guard snarls as his thick fingers close over the hilt of his shortsword.
The snarl then turns to a cry of suprise as he gets a faceful of chalkdust courtesy of Tiger. Swearing, the guard blinks his eyes to clear them, but his hesitation allows Dan to tuck and roll into the corridor, which appears to be deserted.
Tiger pounces towards the guard and grabs his swordhand but is cuffed across the jaw by a vicious backhand.
Suddenly, the guard crashes into the deck as Marissa grabs his ankles and yanks. Tiger then jumps onto the guard's chest and pins him down.
Struggling futily against his attacker, the guard takes a deep breath (probably to scream for help) but gets a mouthful of dirty tunic courtesy of Marissa.
The now buck-naked elf says, "Anyone got a spare tunic?"
