As Elli moved in to close upon the tall leader of the creatures, the blinded ones around her could do nothing to stop her. Some thought they heard movement but ended up stumbling around as the knight moved by them toward the taller creature. When she neared she would find the supposed leader to be several inches taller than her, perhaps even six feet tall in height and had a rather slender frame. All that she could see of the creature beneath the clothing were its pitch black eyes and the pale skin of its brow; the rest of its face was covered by a black cloth mask.<br/><br/>The tall creature raised two short swords to defend itself against Elli's attack, but it would be too late as knight's powerfully swung blade took a heavy bite out of the thing's side. It screamed in pain, cursing in its language and shouting. Several cries rang out among the smaller creatures Elli had bypassed to get to their leader. It seemed that their temporary blindness had wore off, for they were all converging on her. The small creatures with their blades would be unable to harm her, all missing in some sort of fashion. However, now Elli found herself flanked between the tall creature and one of its minions. It lashed out with its two blades, one of them a pathetic attempt of a swing, but it might as well proved a distraction, for the second blade would find a way in past Elli's defenses, striking her straight at her side, finding a cinch in her armor to bury itself. The blow was particularly jarring and for a moment Elli felt as if some of strength was being sapped as a result, but the feeling passes.<br/><br/>Elli takes 19 points of damage from the tall one's well placed hit.<br/>
