Cautious and wary of the sharp, lethal blade, Alim fails to put his full power into the hit; it falls short of the drunken goblin, who just laughs.
Artorias, on the other hand, whacks the goblin who stabbed him hard over his head. He staggers, but is still conscious...And even angrier at the human for the things he said.
SpoilerYou can't move to G6 with a 5 foot step, sorry. Where do you want to move? I'll keep the hit.
