Francois had predicted this far in advance, knowing that the only way to parry his attack would be a shifting of the sword to the left flank on his opponent's part, which created an opening on the opponent's right. The right handedness of his opponent also meant an awkward stance. If his opponent was left handed, he would have used a different next move.

Francois, his blade still locked with Do'Kadzul's, pivoted and pulled his blade sharply inwards, hitting his opponent in the throat with the pommel of his blade, at the same time rotating it so it cut the shoulder. In normal cricumstances, he would have angled the sword and opened the right carotid and jugular, but he wasn't aiming to kill.

After the hit, Francois moved rapidly, changing his grip on his weapon to a conventional one, before disengaging and moving back to a defensive posture, behind his opponent.

(Francois is damned fast. If you thought Damien was efficient when he killed the bandits in thread one, he's not...)
