Joli cursed softly.  She should have left it alone, but now her dagger was near the snake too, and while she could have left the ingots, she wasn't willing to leave her only backup weapon.  Sure she had the goblin bow, but no other blade save her dagger.  The snake had to die.<br/><br/>She stepped back a few feet and settled into her battle stance.  Swinging her sword around her body she prepared to face the beast.  It would be difficult as the snake was likely much faster than her.  But she hoped that she would be able to compensate for that with her reach and her training.  Letting it bite her was obviously not going to be a good idea.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">I'll let you roll whatever dice you need for combat, no need to use the dice roller.  You can describe what happens or what you want and I'll go back and add in details in my next post if that's ok.</div></div>
