Action: Attack
Potion: No
RP: Darstrund shook the smarting blow off. The battle was already beginning to perturb him as he watched the lithe form of the Ahz in front of him. Her pelt was not yet streaked with blood. Her bones were intact. Her eyes showed a strong will and a healthy spirit. The aches and pains that he had administered during battles in the Ahz rings were starting to blossom again in his mind like strange, carnal flowers. He grimaced, digging his claws into the earth for a moment in hesitation.
Then, he recalled his purpose in entering this battle: participation in the crime-fighting force that is Vindicia. The part of his mind that had shut off battle instincts for so many years was starting to creak into motion again with this realization. He lowered his body, careful not to expose any vulnerabilities. He began circling Zisis, eyes narrowed and tail lashing furiously. At last, he reared up, striking down at Zisis's head with claws unsheathed and jaw clenched, bracing for the impact. He hoped to knock her out.
Codeword: stamper

I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Were and When
And How and Why and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
And after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small~
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
-Rudyard Kipling
