Galed is set against one of the other caravan guards, who doesn't seem to like his chances.Jonas is lead into the ring where the Darkling Blade waits, daggers twirling gracefully in her snakeskin gloves.  She smiles, revealing a brilliant but predatory set of teeth, and assumes a light, agile stance.  In the instant between the steward saying "Begin!" and Jonas beginning to move, she leaps forward, blurring so quickly that the three points of pain in Jonas's abdomen seem to come as one.  The blows are delivered so swiftly and precisely that he doesn't realize he's fallen until he sees a man in chirurgeon's garb leaning over him with a dampened towel, holding out his hand and saying "How many fingers do you see?"(Sorry, Erekose, but you simply couldn't have beaten her initiative roll.  I know it's a rough return, but at least it was all subdual damage.  You'd be dead, elsewise.  FaenFriend and Arden got all too lucky, and you got the other end of the stick.  The dice are a fickle mistress.)</blockquote>
