This time, she took advantage of it being close, as it lunged at her to bite, by grabbing the head, slicing a long gouge across the creature's face with one hand, and tearing its throat out with the other. It attempted to continue to bite her, but the force of its movement, and the lack of a throat, caused the head to simply detach from the body, which flailed blindly for a few moments; a sharp kick to the chest sent it spiraling away to collapse harmlessly.<br/><br/>On the other side of the battle, three of the ghouls had fallen already, and the fourth was damaged, but not down. It wasn't likely to last much longer, either, though she could easily step in to add her strength, if she felt like it.<br/><br/>Regardless, the battle ended quickly, with minor injuries... but the feeling of ill ease in the area didn't abate. This likely wasn't nearly all of them, nor was it likely to be the true threat, as a handful of town guards, and armed peasants, could likely have dealt with that small of an incursion.
