Yaiil merely stays standing by the throne, watching the commotion and the forming battleground unfazed. As she did a familiar calm settled over her, like it always did before a fight. All lewd thoughts were gone, replaced by focus.
Only when everything else was set did she move herself down the stairs into the open space, eyes trained on her large adversary as three deliberately slow steps brought her to her destination five yards away from Jared.
"No need" she calmly replied as she began to bring her hands together in front of her. "Jord Brand"
As she spoke the weapons name her trusted blade began to materialize in her grip, and feeling its familiar weight made her ready for the fight to come as she settled into a crouched combat stance.
Gasps filled the room. Jared's eyes widened for a moment. Then he grinned a toothy grin. “I see this will be more amusing than I’d expected...
"Always happy to please ..." Yaiil's lips curl into something resembling a smile as she focuses on her training, Feeling the air condense under her feet and lifting her up, her soles gliding over the crude Stone Floor with practiced ease as she closely studied each of Jared's moved, searching for the pattern in his Routine, the one gap to exploit ...
Jared jerked right and left, tryign to follow the elf girl as she shot through the air.
Yaiil waited, sword raised at the ready, finally coming to hover in one place long enough for the troll to catch up to her. And just as he raised his axe, opening his cover for a Moment, she stroke, her sword darting forward.
Jared gave a grunt of surprise as the blade blurred through his gaurd, then hammered into his shoulder, slipping between the crystal spars of his pauldron. Bblood ran down his shoulder, but his shield stopped the blow from sinking lower before it could become more than a superficial wound. With an angry snarl, the mighty troll hurled Yaiil's sword up over her head, then gave a straight shield punch to her face!
With the wind under her feet Yaiil nimbly slid out of the way of the incoming shield, using the momentum of her own movement to bring up her blade in a deadly arc against his now open flank.
This time the troll barked in pain as her bladed slahse dthrouhg his throat above the armor. A combination of thick neck, durable magic, and the troll leaping widlly black kept the blow from severing his artieries or esophagus, but he staggered backwards to fast and his rump smashed on the floor!
The troll kept his weapons at the reaady, but rather than strike or rise, he growled as the blood pouring from his wounds burst into crimson flames, healing most of the damage done to him! Then with a quick snarl, he tried to spring to his feet, but gave a grunt of pain as his butt hit the floor again.
The bandits were looking on in pure shock...
Seeing this Yaiil wasted no time to strike again, sliding past him as her swort darted downwards ....
The troll scowled at the attack. He tried to cick her wrists to knock back her blade and got a slash on his thigh for his trouble.
Using the opportunity presented by the still prone troll Yaiil glides around in a half cirle, picking up Speed for a sommersault that brings down her sword with all her might.
The troll gave a furiosu roar as Yaiil cleaved his ear off of the side of his head, leaving a pach of bloody skull bear! The bandit king tried to spring to his feet only to fall forewards onto his knees. Managing to keep a grip on his ax, he surged to his feet.
The outer cave's door rumbled open right about now, thouhg it was hard to hear over the rising din of stratled bandits and slave girls--some of the second were starting to squeel and clap.
By the time Jared was Standing Yail had already slid past and behind him, using the opportunity for a vicious second strike.
With the troll at his full heighth again, over seven and a half feet tall, she couldn't eacily reach past his crystal ringlet, but she could smash through it to bloody his back.
Yaiil tries to read her Opponent again, but this time she Fails, the trolls rage making him unpredictable. So she seizes the initiative by suddenly charging forward and leaping up for a mighty overhead blow.
The troll's shield came in straight, but the troll didn't realize she was coming over it. He caught a curiously dizzy angle on her feet aseveral feet above the ground, and his own headless body crumping to the floor, and then a dizzy montage of his shocked bandits, slave girls jumping and aplauding.
Then the rolling head's world went dark.
Seeing the crumpled lifeless (and headless) form of her Opponent Yaiil focuses for a Moment, using the adrenaline still in her blood to make it flare up in acrimson flame similar to what she observed earlier, curing some of the strain to her exerted muscles.
For a moment, the assembled men stood breathless. Some clenched at their sheathed weapons, others were too shocked...
Yaiil surveyed the bandits, her stare cold and fearless now, still gripping her sword even if its tip was lowered now. She was their leader by all rights, and so she eventually called out:
"Can someone at Long last get me a Shirt?"
"Aye, captain!" one of the orcs replied, and the bandits broke into cheers, calling her, "Captain."
That first ork untied his own shirt and tossed it to her while several slave girls scampered off to get her a clean one.
In the doorway from the entrance hall, the middle aged mage peered out for a moment, meeting her eyes before fading back into the shadows.
At their acclamation Yaiil finally smiled again, and with one swift move rammed her sword tip first into the ground before her feet,causing it to vanish. Bothhands free now she wasted no time to slip into the Shirt tossed in her direction, notmuch caring for the fact that it was too large and not spotlessly clean.
Seeing Vendar she gave a subtle wink in his direction, afraid to give away his Location with anything more overt. Instead she once again called out to the bandits "So all of Jared's is mine now, right?"
Khadavla: "That's right, boss," a one eyed dwarf barked out.
A bakere's dozen slave girls--including the two youthful musicians--came forewards and knelt to her. The eldest--a dwarf girl old enough to show crows feet, but an elegent beatuy, spoke up, "Shall we show you to your rooms, master? Or the door to the treasury?"
Another orc walked casualy up to the fallen troll and drew a chain from out his neck, passing her a silver plated key.
Yaiil pondered for a moment, as she caught the key chain, looking at it thought fully for a moment. Better not appear too greedy now, but poised and sovereign.
"The treasury can wait until tomorrow. Show me my quarters ... but first ..." she turned to the orc who had handed her the key "will you bring his weapons and armor to his quarters as well?" She tried to make it sound like a politely formulated command.
