Lina saw the hobgoblin and froze for half a moment, seeing him with the bow and cursing mentally. Why hadn't she<em>thought</em>of the fact she might run into someone with a ranged weapon?! But she still reacted quickly enough, moving nearly halfway across the arena and diving behind a pillar. Hiding there for a moment, she listened as he moved around, trying to get to a point where he could shoot at her. She waited just long enough, then broke out of cover to move up to him and stab him with a dagger.<br/><br/>The blow only did minor damage, and the snarling hobgoblin took a step back to fire the arrow at her. An arrow that hit, and<em>hurt</em>, even though it only seemed to leave a bruise instead of blood along her arm. Stepping closer again, Lina feinted with the dagger in her left hand, and her right drove toward the hobgoblin's throat. A flash of magic kept it from actually harming him, but a broad bruise crossed his throat, showing that she'd dealt fairly major damage as he staggered.<br/><br/>She was startled when the hobgoblin turned and ran for a moment, only to fire off a hasty shot that she didn't even need to dodge, as it went wide. She hoped it went into the crowd, personally. But she charged after the hobgoblin, a dagger spearing under his breastplate and dropping him to the ground at last. Taking a deep breath, Lina looked at the crowd, considering, then bowed slightly before sheathing her weapons and heading back toward her gate to drop off her gear again. That...had gone well.
