 Repeatedly the Hresh strikes at you with its axe, each time only the quickness of your movements saving you from certain death. Against the force of its weapon your sword has little impact, and as the combat continues your resolve to finish it quickly hardens.
Calling upon your knowledge of the Shimmera you step back from the warrior and lower your arms to your side. In that moment the Hresh is dumbfounded as you let your guard drop, but you remain motionless for only a heartbeat. As the Hordim raises its weapon to deal you a fatal blow you rush at it, stepping quickly to the side as you do so. In that instant the Shimmera takes hold of the Hresh. Caught in a melee of spinning vertigo the creature cannot focus its eyes, and falls to one knee in an attempt to steady itself. It is all the opportunity you require. As the creature swings its axe weakly before it you deal it a lethal blow from your new position at its back. The Hordim is helpless and falls like an uprooted Oak onto the floor, blood welling from a deep wound in its neck. It does not please you to kill in such a manner but you have no choice. The Tellandra is more important than your honour.
