"Yes. Playtime!"
You grin and look at Shelley expectantly. She's going to join in. Even if she doesn't do anything else but watch. She'll learn. She has to.
"Get it!"
One of the Shandorans shouts and they all charge Shelley.
In response you spread your arms wide, hunch forward and welcome them to try. The look on their faces once you stop holding your murderous intent back is nothings short of priceless. Their expression tells you that to them all color and almost all light was drained from the world. And the way they shiver it's as if they were suddenly transported to the bottom of the sea, to the coldest depths of the world. They can not move. Hell they can barely stand. Sheer survival instinct is the only thing keeping them on their feet, for they know if they fall to the ground they may not get up.
Their torpor quickly breaks once you lunge forward and punch one of their face in. What weenies. Faced with certain death and they can't even muster the courage to dodge they must not want to live too badly. But even now that they can move their movements are awkward, erratic and irrational. Panic has a hold over them. Most take aim at you and disregard everything but the actual threat. But one of them does seem more focused on Shelley, the one thing he can actually do something about. He's thinking of escaping and doings so by going through her.
"Don't let him stick you with the pointy end Shelley!"
"Okay."
The Shandian takes a stab at her but she manages to dodge it and before the man could pull his weapon back he quickly finds no less than four limbs holding the shaft tightly in place. He tries and tries but one thing is clear now. Despite not having any combat experience what so ever Shelley is still from the New World. Good. That means you can take your eyes off of her for the second it'll take you to wipe the floor with these guys. You raise your left arm and display it proudly, scaring the Shandians even further as the bones open up and reveal the metal spike inside. You hit each of them once with the Wapometal nail and they promptly get knocked out. As you dust yourself off you look at the little girl who is still mortified.
"Look what you did. They got their butts handed to them because of you."
