The wielder of the sword always strikes first in close combat, even before enemies that have charged. If the wielder is fighting another enemy who is also entitled to strike first (because of spells, special abilities, etc). then resolve attacks in Initiative order. If both combatants' Initiative values are equal, mill a dice to determine whom Strikes first.
