As she stands in the room, the Thugs laugh and smirk at each other, all thinking of how much fun they intend to have with this woman. After all, how much trouble could a slender, soft-skinned beauty like this give hardened killers like them, no matter what weapons and armour she's found somewhere?<br/><br/>They have enough sense and battle instinct to fan out and surround her. The women and staff all scuttle for the walls, wanting to be as far away as possible from the violence they can feel is about to erupt. With her hemmed in on all sides, one- seemingly the leader of this group- steps up toward her.<br/><br/>"Feisty one, and she thinks she's too good for us. I'll show you how to have a good time, though..."<br/><br/>The spell takes them by surprise, and the intense cold causes frost to spread over the floor and tables, freezing the bowls of sake left there- and causing the bandits to gasp, shudder, and fall to the floor stiffly with their dead flesh turning blue-white. The leader manages to stumble back from her, covered in frost and shivering violently. She's caught half the bandits with her magic, the rest are recoiling in fear at seeing their comrades struck down so easily.<br/><br/>"Witchcraft!" exclaims one, a shout taken up readily by the rest of them. The leader has momentarily lost the power of speech due to his chattering jaw, and just stands there staring. The staff scream and begin to run for the nearest doors, with a few bandits looking like they're considering doing the same.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I think it'd work best to have the IC stuff written normally, and any rules-stuff separated into boxes using the quote function (the speech bubble icon) rather than everything mixed together in one paragraph in future. None of the bandit grunts survived being caught in the spell, the leader took 7hp damage and is still standing. Numbers, dice rolls, spell names exact measurements of feet, or anything else that wouldn't be in a story belongs in here.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
