"Fire needs no secrets, has no secrets; only truth. And whatever you are, it freed you from chain. It made you scream. Remember that, unless you want a reminder."<br/><br/>As if on cue, the air shimmered around her hands, flame burst forth from beneath her palms; first unfocused, then quickly convergent upon her fingertips to produce her fearsome, fiery claws once again. There was no natural fire here for her to take control of, nor anything much to set aflame in this dank cell, but she could always rely on her own power, just waiting, hungering to be unleashed.<br/><br/>With a snap-hiss, they licked right at the chitin of her foes as she jumped at them by sheer instinct before she even realized fully what they were. Past battles fought together made her automatically go for the same target as Phelypsis: the closest of the umber hulks. Her claws of fire had no range and thus she was untroubled by invisibility, leaping high over the demoness' blade and straight over the giant bug's head to slash and tear at its citin-covered back.<br/><br/>Mid-motion, a trail of fire left by her rush, she came into view once more as her violent movement tore the spell from her and left her plain to see, right in top of the giant monstrosity. "My, Mr. Bug, what big eyes you have!" she proclaimed with loud glee,  giving the others a hint as to the target she figured was worth going after. Or at least the one she was planning to pursue.<br/><br/>In battle, Nuria was in her element. Not literally, of course, or there would be fire all around them, but the way she moved and laughed held a natural delight, an eager bloodlust that was dangerously infectious. In many ways, it was like her appetite for sex. Her claws would never hit as hard as Phelypsis' powerful blows, but the Godlike made up for it through sheer naked savagery.<br/><br/>With her target declared, Nuria went straight for it, trying to slash at its large green bug-eyes -- whilst remaining on the creature's back. An umber hulk's back didn't compare to that of a horse and her footing was questionable at best, but at least she was safe from those giant pincers. Of course, there were two more of them, right behind the other and she represented an excellent target at her current vantage point …<br/><br/><hr/>Nuria rolled<strong>8 damage</strong>total, with the hand and fiery tags. She accepted an attack despite their surprise advantage for an extra +1d6 damage. Rolls originally posted in the OOC thread.<br/>
