The flash of a dagger and the new sound of a ne'er-do-well's voice were all the warning that Yarith needed to prepare herself mentally, even if her weapon was not yet drawn.  The human had been ready for this before her pilgrimage had even begun, so this wasn't enough of a surprise that she was startled.  Joining her for this quest was the raven-haired elf by the name of Shadowe- a telling name if there ever was one.  At his  little jape, Yarith could only sigh dramatically, showing little to no concern for their would-be attackers.  "Fresh experiences make one's life worth living, no?  I suppose women of the cloth<em>do</em>make for easy targets, even for novice bandits like these."  It was only then that she gave any manner of attention to their attackers, sizing them up silently.<br/><br/><em>Four to our two?  Shame on them.  It was no surprise that the pointy-eared Shadowe was so cheerful, then.</em>Yarith was polite, at the very least.  She stood silently as the one who spoke, silently marked as their leader, spoke once again, exercising that dirty mouth once again.  "Oh, ever the charming elf, Shadowe.  Very well, then."  She confirmed simply enough, turning her gaze to the leader, paying the others little mind for the time being.  "Being a woman of the cloth, I detest those who would defile the path to my deity.  Of course, if you believe that makes me a prime target, I think you'll find that I am not some defenseless maiden who begs for her life!"  In a flash, Yarith gripped the halberd that rested upon her armor, pulling it free before she brandished it with both hands, stomping down to root herself to the ground.  In an effortless, practiced motion, Yarith used her footing to swing the halberd around nearly 360 degrees, only shifting her grip at the last moment to ensure the cocky leader felt the grip of her mighty weapon slam into his body.<br/><br/>"If you truly believe you can overcome my goddess's favor, I invite you to try!"  She shouted as the blow struck home and she took on a battle-ready stance, ready for whatever retaliation they might bring her way.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>Hack and Slash-  At 2017-01-13 10:10:17, ThatOneShrroth (uid: 53474) rolls: 2d6a2 Result: 14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=98996)<br/>Damage- At 2017-01-13 10:15:10, ThatOneShrroth (uid: 53474) rolls: 1d10 Result: 3 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=98998) +1 from weapon =4 damage total, 3 after armor<br/></div></div>
