*The orc replies by throwing his chained mace at me.*
I had seen it coming, of course. I knew he was going to throw it, hell I knew where it was going to land, before he knew where he was going to throw it, which is why I was already in motion. A leap and a a dodge had me several feet to the left of where I had stood only a moment ago.
As I moved dozens of moves played through my head, ways I might end the fight, the most convenient of which was probably me drilling a hole through the orc's thick head, but while that may have sated my more bloodthirsty instincts, it didn't get me what I wanted (at least not yet), which was information.
No, the situation called for something a bit more...unconventional. The sound the mace made when it impacted where I had been a second ago, brought me back to the fight and had the added bonus of adding some juice to my body's power reserves.
With a thought I let a soothing aura of light radiate from my body, mesmerizing the orc and calming him down. Once I'm sure I have his attention I step forward and repeat my question.
"What is Fort Joy, and why won't you let me in?"
