She smiled slightly, moving further towards the swordsmen, but paused when faced with the ballista platforms. Pondering for a moment, She saw that the second ballista, on the near side of the gate, and furthest away from the fighting was both unmanned, and loaded.<br/><br/>Chuckling, she scaled the wall of the platform, and, with a complete lack of abandon, chuckling to herself, she turned the ballista towards the one currently being manned, and, lining up carefully, she fired her commandeered weapon, sending the wooden bolt into the manned ballista, shattering the crossarm of the weapon, and rendering it useless.<br/><br/>Hopping down onto the walkway, she ignored the shouts of anger from the commanders, dashing directly into the fray ahead of her, the sword she had collected leading the charge with a neat piercing blow to one swordsman's spine, followed by a slash to the kidneys.<br/><br/>The three remaining swordmen, cornered, and pinned between a massive polearm and a long sword, decided to take the offense to the one that seemed weaker, charging the dragoon who had somehow recieved more scratches from the now-finished arrow barrage.
