Example: Character A hits character B with a sword on his right arm. Character B winces as the sword cuts into his arm and recoils to the left before striking character A with his axe.

Character B could have responded in any way that would have made sense with the action of character A attacking with a sword swing to his arm. He could have jumped out of the way, blocked with his axe, he could have even tried to lunge forward to stagger the attacker.

If your referring to my direction of where the characters should go, then that too is a suggestion. Its telling you what direction I would like you guys to go but you could have choses to continue to search the immediate area for something else.
