There really was no way to block another kick when he was already half on the ground. Moving up would just give Duster's leg more momentum; using a Smoke Bomb would be cheating, and as sorely tempting as that was, Reno was really trying to avoid it. There was only one thing left to do -- Reno dropped back down onto his face to get under the kick, then rolled. Away at first, but if Duster pursued, he'd go back and try to grab for the bard's ankles.
