Exhaustion slowly began to settle in, and the fiery rage - now that the immediate problem that had roused it was gone - sapped her strength at a rather rapid pace. Where once she'd held the Minotaur with little enough effort, her shaking arms finally begin to give way, and she goes down onto one knee. Had it not been for Vormitraax's firm hold, the bull likely would have trampled her pretty soundly right there, but only barely does she manage to halt the big Minotaur's advance. Not that it turned out to be especially beneficial for her.<br/><br/>Exhausted and more than a little beaten up, Felicity can full-well see the bull's head lowering, aiming one of the dangerous, sharp horns at her stomach, seeking to impale her. She knew she should move, she KNEW she SHOULD have been physically capable of dodging to the side, throwing herself out of his range before he managed to land the blow against her. Yet, as much as she wanted to, her suddenly-exhausted body simply didn't want to work, and she's forced to do the only thing she has left - grab the horn in both hands and try to hold it at bay.<br/><br/><br/>With a rough push, she edges the sharpened tip out of the direct line of her vulnerable, fleshy tummy, but the head-swinging swoop still manages to catch her with the middle of the horn, driving the air from her lungs and slamming her up against the wall. Had the tip of the horn hit her, it likely would have completely impaled her, but even the middle of the horn draws a slightly weakened gasp of pain from the big pirate kitty, her teeth clenched tightly together as the bull bashes her around further.<br/><br/>((Forceful Defense roll of...<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/255817">Oh dear, this will hurt...</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+3</span><span style="font-weight: bold">4</span><br/><br/>So, Felicity takes a 1 stress.

Despite her suddenly-trembling arms, Felicity manages to get a hold on the bull's horns and pulls his head just slightly to the side, allowing her to better jab that knife in...<br/><br/>((Attack roll of...<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/255818">Bull-bashing!</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+3</span><span style="font-weight: bold">3</span>Forceful bull wrangling! ))<br/><br/><br/>((Let's see, Felicity is not looking great, but still not out of the fight! x3<br/><br/>Stress<br/>x<br/>00<br/>xxx<br/>Consequence<br/>xx<br/>0000<br/>000000<br/><br/>Should be how her damage looks, I think!))
