Aria teleported a few yards away - only to rush in, the magic of her weapons gathering momentum as against the saurial creature earlier, taking her first strike to coincide with yet another of Kass's which caused Elmorel to double over in pain, the rest of his shirt now ripped open to expose burnt and slashed abs...<br/><br/>...yet he threw up a sword just so, parrying its straight edge against the inner, concave blade of the offending kukri. He winked at Aria as he caught several more slashes against his other sword and that arm's bracer, matching her flurry with a casual air - almost like he were juggling idly, catching knives as they fell towards him, and Aria had the somewhat infuriating sense that he was trying to make a point of his superior swordsmanship. Even when she phased out and then reappeared again to strike from a different angle, he seemed to anticipate exactly the angle she'd chose, parrying correctly in the spit second before he could see the incoming slash.<br/><br/>And as each sword parried, the other whipped around his body to slice or thrust out at Kass, perhaps because he regarded her as the more accurate and thus dangerous swordswoman.  His style was subtly shifting from that before his useless invisibility magic, though: the strikes were less artistic, and more serious; yet more daring - some by virtue of more brute strength behind them, other by way of being gamier attempts; spatial gambles in steel - or whatever the softly-violet glowing swords were made of.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kass hits for 42<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Aria</span><br/>draw kukris, teleport 10' back with anklet and charge hfa (= haste full attack; her 10th haste of 20 per day)<br/>attack 47/...
