Reiku's head clears as she nears her sword but the pain of the blow remains, she feels a warm liquid spreading across the back of her head, she must be bleeding quite baddly. Her mind turned to the pouch of salve on her belt,she would need that once she escaped. She dived at her sword, grabbing it in her left hand. Bolting upright in the middle of all the pillars she see's the nearest pillar lungeing at her. "Theres no way i can take another attack like that..." She reached into the other pouch on her belt and drew 3 small glass spheres, painted black and the size of cherrys. She held them in her palm for a moment, then threw them down in a triangle around her. They exploded on impact, each sending a huge gout of smoke from where they hit the ground, creating a smokescreen that covered the center of the pillars. Staying in her temporary cover, she jumped about, never staying still. Trying to come up with a way to escape, and praying that the incoming pillar didnt get lucky. because she couldnt see it either.
