    Meshtak had been in trouble. He really had nothing to fight 
t-crocs with...his best melee weapon, the axe, was sharp but still
had difficulty getting through the scaled hides of the t-crocs.
Meshtak had succeeded in taking out one before the others became 
close enough to worry about; after that, he started a slow retreat,
showering the t-crocs in arrows, hoping that Blade would finish the 
other pack of crocodiles before Meshtak's pack succeeded in finishing
Meshtak.
    And then, suddenly, Max was there. Meshtak gaped in astonishment
as the strange armored wizard jumped in and started blasting the
t-crocs with his wands. The wands turned out to be far more effective
weapons than Meshtak's crossbow, and Max succeeded in turning the
tide against the reptiles. Meshtak quickly recovered from his shock
and started launching arrows again, helping to push the t-croc
pack backwards.
    Behind them, Meshtak could hear Blade taking out the other group
of crocodiles. Meshtak hadn't known that t-crocs could scream. He 
ventured a look around to see Blade pick up a giant lizard and do a
super-spiked pile driver to the floor. The reptile exploded in a shower
of blood and bones. Other t-crocs lay around mutilated, and the
remaining ones seemed to have lost their enthusiasm for the fight.
Unfortunately for them, Blade had not. The spiked behemoth picked up
a retreating t-croc by the tail and hurled him against the wall. The
t-croc collided with a painful crack. Meshtak shuddered and turned
back to his own fight.
    Then he remembered. Max hadn't been with them during the original
fight with Blade! That was probably good, and was probably why Max
had attacked the t-crocs instead of Blade. "Hey, Max!" Meshtak called.
"You know the big, dark guy with the spikes? He's on our side, okay?"
It was then Meshtak saw Arcadio, Sir Tyrone and a ...dwarf?...
approaching...

Meshtak the Draga
(Hmm...I just realized Meshtak and Gortok have never met before.)
