There's an awful CRASH as Saffron catches the falling fist in both armored gauntlets.  "What, that's<em>it</em>?"  Contemptuously, she casts the warstrider's arm aside, and a crackling bonfire of white-gold Essence engulfs her as she launches herself forward.<br/><br/>With a cry of joyous fury, or possibly furious joy, the young Dawn's blazing fists hammer directly into the chest of the warstrider again and again, striking with force enough to tear through jade plate...not to mention the poor bastard inside.  The force of Saffron's leap carries her up and past the toppling thing, landing in a crouch, now surmounted by a strange, golden image that swirls up to her left and right, occasionally branching off into an inward spiral that terminates in a crescent.<br/><br/>King can't actually see the grin on Saffron's face, of course.  But it's there for sure.<br/><br/>(4-attack flurry with gauntlets, Fists of Iron Technique for the win.  Channelling Valor all the way, because I can.  4, 7, 9, and 2 base successes; taking the Solar Hero Form benefit on all of them.<br/><br/>On 38 damage dice, the result is...9 levels.  Lame, but it'll do.<br/><br/>13/19 Peripheral motes, 4/8 WP left.)
