Shandara returns to the same area of the dungeon she encountered the goblin patrol only a week before. As would be expected, the carrion crawlers and other scavengers have erased almost all visible traces the battle ever existed. Shandara senses she is being followed and takes to the shadows to await her persuer. It doesn't take long before her patience is rewarded. From the stairs appears a massive she orc, the size of which Shandara has never before seen. The powerful female wields two menacing half disc blades and is fairly well armored. The she orc smells the blood from the previous battle, but more importantly senses she is not alone. As she pivots her head around to scan behind her nervously Shandara makes her silent leap. By the time the she orc turns back around Shandara is fully in flight above her in what appears to be an overhead chop to the skull. At the last minute, Shandara twists in the air and slices to her right, completely severing the she orcs hand from her wrist. Shandara lands in a crouch and rolls behind her enemy for another quick slash behind the knees. So quick are Shandaras attacks, that the scream from the lost hand blends with the one from the attack on her legs into one outraged roar of pain. The she orc spins around as she falls to her knees. Shandara keeps behind her and the she orc is at a loss for where the deadly opponent has dissappeared to. She has her answer soon enough, as Shandara cuts a wicked gash in the right side of her neck, then rolls to the left. The she orcs remaining weapon falls to the floor and as she grabs for her neck in a feeble attempt to stem the bleeding. The she orc spins back around in time to see her opponent one more time before the battle is through. Her eyes go wide as she watches the the light blue glow of the enchanted scimitar as it arcs in front of her cleaving her head nearly the rest of the way off. The she orcs eyes blink one last time as she stares at the frail looking dark elf standing perfectly still in front of her, then she falls to her side into a never ending sleep. Enjoy, -Arakas
