Fortune's Fool Upon Morning (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FvLLHr6NdK1MnEUafDAOcuYLsP_8IqxPGuUWZx0nc24/edit)<br/><br/>Personal Essence: 3/14<br/>Peripheral Essence: 42/42 (42/46 Max Peripheral)<br/>Committed: 4 Peripheral Motes (Orichalcum Hearthstone Bracers)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The area was in a bit of shambles as the rest of the brigands run after seeing the toughest of their numbers fall. The sorceress was casting again and Fortune had to wonder how he could stop her when she had reflected an essence blast. Thats impressive to be sure so what could he do...? Then there was the Blood Ape and the other potential brigands having Wild Heart trapped under a cart with the Blood Ape going ballistic to get to her. What's a one armed man with limited options to do in lieu of all these dangerous situations? His eyes glance over to the cart for the moment and the oxen. He was going to have to make a few swift movements in order to save as many as he could from this effort.<br/><br/>Walking forwards, he moves alongside the cart the sorceress was upon and towards the Blood Ape that was trying to attack Wild Heart. And for all the violence surrounding him, the practitioner of the Crane stance seemed almost tranquil in his motions. His only arm was behind his back, the palm open. His eyes kept upon the ones assailing the cart furthest from him, which was still moving since the mortals had been trying to get to Wild Heart by moving it. The small inkling that there may be some misinformation, some dishonesty from their oath maker so recently departed did cross his mind but in the heat of the moment there was no time for second guesses. The best course of action was to take down the biggest threat and that was the blood ape in his mindset. He stood up upon one of the cart wheels and made his way up onto the tarp of the covered wagon the sorceress was upon. His feet touch atop the mange snowflakes and ice crystals she made and uses them to rise higher into the air before leaping off them with the grace of a bird.<br/><br/>If the other brigands had any sense the would back away quickly because the Foolish one had locked eyes with the Blood Ape in direct wordless challenge. With a sudden surge of speed, he dove down and then made a hard kick for the blood ape's jaw. The momentum would carry them both down and to the ground. With his right foot firmly planted in the blood ape's head upon the way down, his opposing left leg was tucked into itself similar to that of the animal his stance invoked. The moment he touched the ground he slammed his left foot down to join his right.<br/><br/>Then he stepped off the demons head to quietly wipe his feet in the dirt. Undoubtably the demon had smeared them with blood.<strong>"Please grant me your full attention and the honor to be your opponent, exiled spirit."</strong>He spoke in Old Realm. There was no taunting, just a very polite tone of assertion to his voice in his challenge. His skin seemed to shine like steel and essence runs along his body as a barrier or protection.<br/><br/><hr/>(Stunt Reward: 1 XP)<br/><br/>(Action Summary: Two Attack Flurry to Strike Blood Ape.
