<strong>The wilds of Dra Sirdu</strong><br/><br/>The nearer ape-thing rushed Lazerette, raising a bloodcurdling roar, as it did so. However, for all its sound and fury, it was only an animal in terms of tactics or reaction speed, allowing her to easily dodge away with its headlong charge, and even send it teetering<em>Off Balance</em>with a light flick of her sword. Eshalu, by contrast, was not so easily avoided. Its wild reeling kept it safe from the deadly tip of her spear, at least for the moment, but her blow did result in a fairly nasty<em>Head Wound</em>on the creature. As Aeryn's arrow zipped past its head, it pawed clumsily at the approaching Cloud walker, deflecting her attacks with a pained, frightened bellow. If anything, it didn't particularly seem to want this fight, having realized what it was going up against. Its every move suddenly became animated with<em>Desperate Energy</em>.<br/><br/>Its companion seemed alarmed and confused by the surprising threat level offered by the small, soft creatures, but the enclosing wall of ice frightened it even more. It hopped back a few feet, then gave a few half-hearted swings at the frozen barrier. Ice cracked and shattered under the creature's enormous paws, but despite its strength, the many layers of frost easily kept it at bay, at least for now.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Welp</div><div class="spoiler_body">So you've got your meh attack roll directed at Lazerette, for a net of threat of Fair (+2). Because you only defended, your roll gets an additional +2, meaning that you succeed with style (+5 total with your 3 fighting, unless you want to defend with something else). Not only do you not take any stress, you get a free boost (aspect usable for a single free invoke and nothing else, as you may remember).

It loses its moderate consequence and its first stress box. You can, of course, upgrade the consequence retroactively to a severe consequence via Killer Blow.
