Melina jumped out of her hiding spot, hoping to catch the man by surprise, and gave a quick hit of her staff against his sword, then spun around, bringing the staff down hard against the man's knees, hoping to make him fall. Melina was very skilled with her staff,  it was her one and only weapon, what she always used. Unlike a sword, it had the advantage of being very long and handled with two hands. That means she could do two attacks at once by bringing the front of the staff one way, then using the force of the blow, she could spin it around and hit with the other end before her enemy could react.<br/><br/>Her strength was also quite impressive, and every blow was hard, and if it hit an unarmored part, it was not uncommon for those hits to cause bruises and fractured bones. She smiled at the man, hopeful that he would soon become her prize.<br/>
