[OPEN] Smoke and Mirrors: Perendale

[minrathousian]

WHO: OPEN!
WHAT: The Inquisition's forces fight against the Venatori to prevent Corypheus from seizing power in Perendale.
WHEN: Early November.
WHERE: Perendale, Nevarra
NOTES: Violence.

On the edges of Corypheus' territory, Perendale is the site of a major Venatori offensive--a push by Corypheus' forces to take control of the city and push his influence further across Thedas. The Inquisition's forces have rallied to answer the Nevarran governor's desperate plea for support. The battle for Perendale will decide the fate of hundreds within the city's walls.

Here they go —

It's been too long since she was in the field before today. Nerves grind, heart slams a rapid pace beneath plate and bone. But it always does: What the body doesn't learn, the mind doesn't listen to. Fear's a funny thing,

And you learn to tune it out.

The first of them, the fastest, meets shield with blade — with an opening low and stupid, to step into and shove him down. Stomp on his face (once, twice) to find the second’s already cut within her guard. Turn the blade, step aside (a third now) only to catch another across chain and that’ll leave a mark but not one written in her arteries, so it'll do; gives her a wide slash, a feint. Gives someone else a reason to fall on rent on hamstrings.

Spit and hiss the whole while in a bid to look the fucking madwoman, to keep them off the true threat behind. The girl's shown herself more than capable, still, better not to be swarmed.

Wren jams a blow, pushes ahead with stubborn insistence. Pale light gleams to collect about each swing. It’s not enough to keep them all (one, two) from slipping aside her, bearing down towards Nell.
