Dedalous

I had just finished getting my passport checked to enter this country of new possibilities, and was getting to know the city surrounding the citadel. As I was heading back to my room at the Silver inn, I felt a small, sharp object pressed into my spine. As this was happening, I thought “Crap, and I left my bow and katana at the inn.”
Following that thought, I heard a rough voice say “Come with me and I might let you keep your spleen.”
Allowing him to push me into a dark alleyway, my mind swam with defensive possibilities. I could make a break for it, but what if the thing I had pressed to my spine was a crossbow, then I would be dead before I could reach the end of the alley. I decided to try to beat the crap out of him then make a run for it.
We reached the end of the alley, and he backed away from me, saying, “Give me all of your coin and jewelry.” I decided then to make my move. I did a spin and a front flip, landing right in front of him, and came up with a strong chop to the base of his neck. Unfortunately, he dodged it, coming up into a defensive stance, prepared for my next move. Then, he charged me. I managed to wrench his wrist to the point of him dropping the knife he held.
I then came at him with a left fake, and struck with my foot at his kidneys. He doubled over in pain, and I took my chance to deliver a chop to the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious. He crumpled, and as I surveyed my surroundings, I saw to my dismay, another person standing in the alley. I jumped up to a ready stance, and prepared for the next attack.
