<em>"Haaaa...!"</em><br/><br/>As cold strength surged into her limbs, making them *sting* with renewed vitality, Tialyn drew a deep breath...Even as she felt her wounds heal, the dizziness clear from her field of vision...! The orc seemed to stumble, diminished by the necrotic siphon - And that was all the opening she needed! She surged forward, dodging past the blade...Moving faster than it could track, her legs coiling beneath her-<br/><br/>And she sprang, twisting in the air like an acrobat, as the axe whistled past her - Missing by mere inches!<br/><br/>Her blade swept down, in turn...Carving deep into the orc's skull! The impact surged through her, her blade raking down - shearing through it, in a single lethal motion. Flesh gave, then bone...Her sword pulling free, in an arterial spray - As Tialyn whirled to face the remaining orc!<br/><br/>Two down, in as many moments...Tialyn's skin tingling with new heat, as she drew herself to her full height - Tall, fearsome, the elven beauty's glossy black armor spattered with gore! As the orc raised that axe, she glimpsed the uncertainity - exquisitely detailed! - in the creature's gaze...<br/><br/>"Run," Tialyn purred - Stalking forward, without haste...Secure in her superiority! Her sword trailed against the sands, her lovely form as inexorable as the shadow of death - Her eyes half-lidded! "Or<em>try</em>to fight...It's all the same to me!"<br/><br/>Her heart pounded in her chest - She *knew* she could beat him, and easily...And the orc knew it too! A low, wicked laugh purred from her lips as the orc fled, feet slapping against the ground - Her eyes bright with malice, as she drew her gutting knife from her slim waist!<br/><br/>"By right of blood, I shall pass," Tialyn breathed, with a look up at the orc who'd set the others on her...She knew he wouldn't attack. Three on one odds hadn't been sufficient...He was no *threat* to her, now! But she could yet harvest the components she needed from the fallen - Her class probably did a *lot* better with support from minions. She wasn't going to let the opportunity slip, this time!<br/><br/>She'd be sure to keep going...Once she'd taken her due of bone chips from the orcs!
