Switching to my tablet over the weekend meant I lost my place in most of my games! Not to mention I didn't have nearly as much time as I thought I would... Enough excuses though! Onward!)Stopping herself from fleeing out the cave and running back to civilization was the hardest thing Sulannus had ever done. Harder than running away from home in the first place. Every animal instinct in her body screamed at her to flee. The wretches she'd brought with her would only delay that ogre for seconds. Their sacrifice would buy her the time to get away! To live!She trotted to a halt though, and had to prop herself up against the cavern wall, head bowed forward as if a weight was perched on her shoulders, and breathing as hard as someone who'd been running a marathon. She felt sick. She felt like she was going to die.If I go back now, like this...I'll never get away again. I'll be a laughingstock. I'll embarrass the whole family. And... The faces of the others in the expedition appeared in her mind's eye. ...if I can't honor them, how can I ever expect anyone else to honor me?The focusing crystal from her bag was still in her hand. Smooth facets and hard edges, like it was made from tiny blades. If she gripped it any harder, would it break? Or slice her hand?When Sulannus whirled around, the motion had none of her unstudied elvish grace. It looked like she was on strings, jerky and unwilling. Terror still swam in her eyes, but her mouth was set in an angry grimace.Her hand shook as she raised the focusing crystal and took aim at the giant shape in shadows beyond. The stone lit up from within with blue-white light, that then shone out in a clear beam, angling over the battlefield to draw a streak of frostbite across the chieftain's hide, and patter little snowflakes over her allies.[sblock=rolls]16 to hit Physical Defense, for 6 damage.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4375389/" target="_blank">http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4375389/</a>[/sblock]</blockquote>
