Swearing in 5 different languages while getting charged and slashed, seeing one of my lovely kimonos get shredded and exposing my fair skin to some blood and gashes. That will have to suffice for now. Unlike the others, I will finish off one of these monsters. It was a mistake for the beast to get into melee with me, finally drawing out Rose and drawing a hand across the smooth blade of the katana, arcane energies flowing into the blade for a might strike!<br/><br/>[Combustion strike!]<br/><br/>(casting combustion as arcane channeling, which doesn't provoke. Attack roll of 26 and damage of 11 slashing and 35 fire damage. Reflex 17 to doubly catch on fire. I would imagine this looking like I stabbed the thing in the gut, and it exploding from the inside, if its hp is in the single digits.)
