It was, all in all, a growingly exasperating situation.  Sure, the two cheetahs were taken care of. … Well, one was taken care of, and the bull was busy making good use of the second one as he worked to stuff it down his throat.  But still.  Two cheetah’s basically down… and a giant bug proceeds to land near them!  She is grateful that she’d gone with her gut and started attacking that female cultist at that first opening, getting off two shots before the now very large, very ugly woman could start an offense of her own.  She has that moment to think that if they’d moved closer, the oversized bug would have landed behind them, or worse… ON them!<br/><br/>One trap avoided, now, if that eagle in the large woman’s grasp could… … That HUMAN in her grasp could keep himself from meeting a fate like Gorun’s cheetah, maybe they’d be able to finish this job without casualty!  There was still a lot of work to be done, though.  And that male cultist near her, she decided, was going to be the next person she’d deal with.<br/><br/>She spins the quarterstaff, deftly wielding it into a position where she could hold it, and strike with it, with her right hand, thus leaving her left hand free.  Free to start making arcane gestures as she spoke words of magic that made her left hand start glowing with a blue energy.  Taking a quick step toward that male cultist that had bravely, or foolishly, come near them, she gave him a cold look as she tried to jab the end of her staff right into his face, the blue energy in her left hand briefly moving through her body, to the end of her weapon, promising to hurt the man even more if she could just strike him!<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">http://orokos.com/roll/m-AlleyWayTC<br/><br/>Casting Chill Touch, five foot step thing to stand next to the male cultist, using the free attack Chill Touch provides with Spellstrike to use quarterstaff to attack the cultist.<br/><br/>Attack total: 23  <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/138887">http://orokos.com/roll/138887</a><!-- m --><br/>Weapon Damage total if that hits: 10  <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/138888">http://orokos.com/roll/138888</a><!-- m --><br/>Negative Energy damage, also if the attack hit: 3  <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/138891">http://orokos.com/roll/138891</a><!-- m --><br/>Total damage: 13.
