Nory (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=666740)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/AnbOZ9J.png)</div><br/>Merryn's sudden aggressiveness caught Nory by surprise. She had been expecting a more reserved sparring session. Perhaps a dramatic showing of her normal style, certainly, but not this. That she'd set aside her own lightsaber in order to use her former master's was suddenly concerning Nory more. Looking to Kailen, it seemed that he shared in her concerns.<br/><br/>If they had been using training sabers, she may have risked a lunge at Merryn's back. She had left herself wide open to her apprentices, and a sufficiently swift attack might be able to stop her before she could strike at Jekin, but Nory wasn't sure she trusted herself to make a safe attack. She never had been able to meet Master Emell's standards with the lightsaber. Instead, sensing something from Kailen, she made her move at the same time as well. Gathering her concentration briefly, she flung an idea at Merryn's mind with a quick wave of her hand.<br/><br/>From the side of the room, the lieutenant appeared in the suddenly-open door. "What are you doing?!" she cried loudly. It was, in all honesty, a well-done illusion. However, Merryn was stronger-willed than anybody else she'd attempted the trick on, and it failed to distract her as Nory had hoped.<br/><br/>Hew own attempt thwarted, she hoped that Kailen would have more success.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">roll</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2016-02-05 13:38:03, Nory (uid: 54482) rolls: 1d20a10 Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=85422)</div></div>
