[QUOTE="Tecklenburg, post: 6846933, member: 6781356"] I'm not certain something is wrong when the cold pall settles over us. Nonetheless, my hand instinctively goes to the hilt of my sword. Half-drawn, the pale blue it was shedding due to the heat becomes increasingly indigo as the dropping temperature begins to bite at our flesh. When the whispers begin, I'm certain something is amiss. I watch the consternation on the warlock's face as the perfectly honed, curved edge of the wintry blade is immediately exposed and out before me. My body is supply like a cat, but poised for strike or defense. When the mental assault comes, the steel of my nerve is tested rather than that of my weapon-play. [sblock]Defy Danger (Wis) 3, 5 +0 = 8 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice.[/sblock] My senses take all of it in in the blink of an eye. My instincts to protect take over as my regard for myself sinks into the depths of my priorities. My brandished blade flashes in an arc to intercept the chains heading for Saerie. A twist of my wrist, a flip of my hips and they're jerked from the air and to the ground, momentum completely stolen. Knowing I'm about to accept the hateful caress of the other chain, rather than tense, I try to loosen my body as best as I can. [sblock](b[2d10+2] damage 2 piercing) 2, 7. 7 + 2 = 9. 9 - 2 (4 armor - 2 piercing) = 7 damage to me.[/sblock] Moonstride is probably a contingency spell that doesn't require elaborate gestures. Maybe I can cast it in such a situation? [/QUOTE]
