[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5937606, member: 14889"] Foul blood sprays again from the wound as Takahaan knocks the witch to the floor, and once again he avoids it. Meanwhile, the ghoul wearing Kovack’s belt crumples almost gently under Castile’s axe; some of the adventurers fancy that they hear a faint sigh of gratitude, but perhaps that is only another trick of the mind. The witch gets to her feet again, lashing out with her staff and the horrible sweep of her gaze, but nobody is affected except Kane. He stumbles toward Takahaan half-conscious of what he is doing, and pulls his sword away before it strikes.
