>>5709911>Scratch: 38 STR + 5 (SG+) = 43 – 28 = 15x2 = 30 DMG>Crest of Indech: 26, 20 (Miss, Hit: 15 DMG)>Shaw: 22/67“AHHHHH!” The bandit leaps forward with a war cry. Closing the distance between her and her opponent, she swiftly plants one gauntleted fist into the larger fighter’s gut. Shaw is caught by surprise and forced to take a few steps back but manages to hold his ground. He grabs her right arm and tosses it aside, only to be caught with a left hook directly in the face. He spits out blood and begins to lose his balance, but Scratch isn’t done with him yet. She pulses strongly with the Crest of Indech, unleashing a flurry of blows barely visible to the naked eye upon the Axe Warrior’s body.
“AHHHHHH!” The piercing screaming this time comes from the Sreng stands. Maeve, who had been watching the fight intensely, now looks visibly shaken upon seeing the Crest of Indech appear before her. You recall the Agarthans back in Ordelia having the same reaction upon seeing Scratch’s Crest. So, they really did despise the Four Saints that much?
Shaw holds strong through Scratch’s relentless pummeling. Readjusting the eyewear given to him by Maeve, he raises his Axe high, and strikes.
>22 (True Hit activates)>Shaw: 40 STR + 20 (Great Axe) = 60 – 29 DEF = 31 x1.5 (True Hit) = 47 DMG>Scratch: 18/65 HPAn explosion of dust follows Shaw’s attack as his great weapon collides with Scratch. She attempts to stop the blade with her gauntleted hands, only to be flattened onto the floor, painfully. Lying spreadeagle on her back, the wind has been completely knocked out of her. Capitalizing on his momentum, Shaw holds her down with one hand, raising his axe to deliver the final blow. Even hurt and in an unfavorable position though, she still has enough speed and strength left in her to fight. She grips onto Shaw’s arm that holds her down tightly.
“Fuck you!” The foul-mouthed bandit screams hoarsely, twisting the appendage. Shaw lets out a scream as he is forced to loosen his grip, allowing Scratch time to jump back to her feet. As he stumbles back, Scratch once more goes on the offensive. This time, she hardly needs the Crest of Indech to finish him off.
>Scratch: 38 STR + 5 (SG+) = 43 – 28 = 15 + 5 (Tormentor) = 20x2 = 40 DMG>Shaw: 0/67 HPHer first fist lands squarely on Shaw’s nose, shattering his brand-new eyewear into pieces. Blinded, he drops his weapon to hold his bruised face, only for Scratch to grab him by the back of the head and slam him face first into the ground. Her final attack does the job, as Shaw is rendered unconscious by the blow, going limp.
“Sorry…about your glasses.” Scratch pants, her arms moving to her broken ribs. “But if you ask me, you look better this way.”
