Xen responds instinctively to the attack, moving her axe to block the spear. She is unused to such a defence, preferring to dodge and side step attacks, but the pain she feels when she tries to move her left foot reminds her that such an approach will not work in this fight. Despite this disadvantage the spear moves slowly and the barbarian easily manages to block the weapon. She swiftly counterattacks, her broad axe blade cleaving through an earthen leg and then the arm on the same side. The wounds are deep, but begin to heal seconds after the weapon is removed, completely closing over just as the warrior makes his second attack at Xen’s neck.<br/>Meanwhile across the battle field Gryviix howls, indicating the exact position of the attacker by pointing his snout. Morgan looses an arrow into the air but it fails to connect. Bridget falls to her knees, clawing at the ground.
