Before the tall one could recompose itself into a defensive stance, Elli's long sword struck it true with now blazing divine energy. While the creature cried out in pain, the added divine power did not seem to do any addition damage it, though it's eyes shut to escape the momentary flash of light trailing from the sword. Elli's first attack left a another gapping wound in the tall one's torso, but it was still standing, breathing hard. The second attack she dishes out against the creature is blocked by a twin blade effort, the clash of metal ringing off the sewer walls.<br/><br/>The smaller creatures continue their assault on the paladin, and while their taller leader is diverting her attention, two lucky attack snake their way in, striking at Elli's kneecaps with their blades. While its minions are slashing at the knight's legs, the tall one pushes Elli's sword back and, while keeping a defensive stance, withdraws from the knight, moving out of her reach and disappearing into the darkness. Elli feels her strength being sapped again, but is able to shrug off the effects once more.<br/><br/>The two hits to Elli's legs deal a total of 12 damage.
