Hayze fell to his knee, the unexpected blow sending pain through his shoulder. It may have broken something if it weren't for the conductive properties of the cloak draped over his shoulders, the energy of the staff being spread out over a wider area.
He didn't have time to assess the situation by looking around. He risked being struck again. He needed a better position. Hayze cast a spell and the area around him suddenly blurred. Simultaneously, his armor changed color and pattern to one similar to the floor beneath him. He then pushed off his crouched position to a ducking run down the bar where he knew there was a clear path.
At the end of the bar, he stopped and turned. The throwing knife was still in his hand. His vision cleared as he released the spell. As soon as he spotted the man holding the staff, who was hopefully now disoriented, he threw the knife with great speed at the man's chest. He then drew his daggers from across his back ready for another attack.
