"All plans, all futures, all politics… were elsewhere. Vimes scooped up a fallen sword and with a weapon in either hand screamed wordless defiance and launched himself at the nearest enemy. The man went down headless.
He saw Snouty go down in the melee, and sprang over him to catch his attacker in a windmill of blades. And then he spun around to confront Knock, who dropped his sword and fled. And Vimes ran on, not fighting but hacking, ducking strokes without seeing them, blocking attacks without turning his head, letting the ancient senses do their work. Someone was slicing towards young Sam; Vimes brought a sword down on the arm in true self-defence. He moved on, in the centre of a widening circle. He wasn’t an enemy, he was a nemesis.
And as suddenly as it had come the beast withdrew, leaving an angry man with two swords.
[…]
Colon was on his knees, throwing up. Dickins was down, and Vimes knew he was dead."

Annnnd the last one for the evening. I’ll finish it up tomorrow as I don’t want to be clogging up your dashes too much. There’s about three in more I’ve got in mind (I wonder if any of you can guess what those are!).
This scene makes it Nancyball, Wiglet, Dickins, Snouty and Reg down for the count. And I do love this scene despite all the deaths. We get to see Vimes release his inner beast, and that culminates in what’s probably one of the bloodiest scenes we get to see in Discworld, the torture chamber notwithstanding. It would be amazing to see this done in animation.
