The man before the Doctor made several attacks with his blade, but the Doctor was exceptionally skilled in defense, even with a wooden board. He blocked the attacks, and the two of them gained ground.
The rest of the French crew, who had been sitting idly before, stood behind them, suddenly realizing they might well win this. Cowards. This was the reason why the Doctor chose company with Reinette over any of them. She was brave.
"Come, come, now we don't have all day." There was a scurry of noise downstairs, and the Doctor swung out, thwacking the man before him with the board, and setting him to tumbling into another pirate. Both fell down the stairs. Hopefully slowing any advancing assistance.
