As Shaona watches and listens, the woman lets out a cry of pain as one of the armored figures grabs her hand and twists her arm around in a nasty joint lock. She says in Elven, "Ok! I'll tell you what you want to know! Just keep in mind the old saying:" At this point, she shifts languages to English, "On the count of three, strike."
The Kittani warrior holding her seems to be satisfied with the results, and roughly pushes her down to the ground. "I don't know that saying, or that language. What did you say?"
Through her tears, she says, "Its a ancient tongue, but I can teach it to you. It is as simple as one, two, three."
When the word 'three' clears her mouth, the ground directly under the woman seems to explode, causing a cascade of earth and rocks to go flying through the air. More importantly, the woman is dropped safely down into the crater and out of the line of fire. At the same time, the largeish figure that Blake was able to spot raises up a weapon and fires a burst from some kind of energy weapon at one of the Kittani in the lighter powered armor, and from the other side of the clearing a scruffy looking Dwarf wielding a massive hammer leaps from the treeline with a loud roar, and with a nasty swing, he rings the bell of one of the other powered suits, leaving a sizable dent in the armor. Obviously it is some kind of MDC weapon, perhaps a rune weapon.
If you wish, you can now perform a surprise attack on one of the Kittani before we move into the normal melee round.
