The bearded face of Exodus turned up as Kass ascended past him, his greatsword also lifting to parry - but too slowly, as the singing sword of Kass slashed a deep diagonal aross his face, ruining the regal nose, burning and blasting with sound.<br/><br/><strong>A decadent age, this,</strong>Exodus expelled the air from his great lungs as his head was whipped back with the blow.<strong>What soft pantheons you pray to. What ignorance of your predecessors and betters. Small sad shadows of titans and dragons are you.</strong><br/><br/>Aria pounced on the perfectly provided distraction, flying up almost between his armored legs, face before his codpiece - her intent wasn't particularly erotic, though, and in what the edit-uttering judge might've considered a rahter undignified way to be brought low, Aria drove her kukris amost simultaneously into the joints of the codpiece and thigh plates. As often, she used the curve of the blades to hook them inside armor, to where she expected the femoral arteries of a bipedal being ought to be.<br/><br/><strong>The precepts are written.

The tiefling sheathed her kukris for a wand, and began healing herself, floating down slowly to the rubble-laden floor.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kass hits for 35 (10 DR but no energy res)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Aria</span><br/>full attack, mods 47/... and 43/...
