"You are afraid of the rain?" This woman seems to possess some fear of water. Nidjj knows that a deluge will soon greet them. The warmth of the solemnly passing wind foretells the advent of rain-bearing clouds.

Stole? This woman is a thief...? Nidjj realises that the woman's conversation is meant to distract him. She remains the target of his gaze.

"So, I see you aren't easily distracted. Oh, well. What I said was true though." She swong shadow with ease at Nidjj. "I was trained well. Ok, that might be a lie. But I bet I can steal all of your money while fighting you." She grinned widely, her fingers twitching slightly on the blade.

Oh, curse. Nidjj realises his stupidity to believe that this mugger be a warrioress. If I can reach my dagger... Nidjj prepares to repel Adsero's next strike.

Adsero sniffed the air while fighting to amke sure they would not be interupted. She smelled precipitation in the air. It would rain. she shifted her weight from foot to foot. "This can't contenue much longer. It might rain soon. Is there an indoor area we can fight?"

[shadow=red,220]"Well, you might not want to ever try to fight someone off with a dagger. Believe me, it will not be very successful. And try not to attack without thinking. And you don't have to call me miss, Adsero will do quite fine." She tossed him Chalybs and unshethed Shadow. She ran her hand down the side of the blade, causing blood to pool up in the palm of her hand. She licked it off and stood ready to fight. "Defend yourself!" This will force him to learn and give me the chance to use Shadow.[/shadow]

A blade of the eastern isles? Nidjj examines the sword between his hands. Its single edge seems to be encrusted by a ceramic material. He raises the sword, assuming a defensive stance.

[transparency=50]"It's such a pretty sword. It was the first thing I ever stole."[/transparency][glow=green,2]She lifted up Shadow[/glow][glow=gray,2]"This was a gift. It is a wonderful sword. It's name is Shadow. That sword is Chalybs. A bit un ariginal. It means sword."[/glow]

(funny title
Adsero smiled and walked over to the man. "Your about as bad with a dagger as I am with a bow. Need any help, not that I would have much to give."

Nidjj stands behind a splintered wooden post. The splinters obviously originated from the blades of others, as Nidjj's blind swings barely dent the instrument when, rarely, he succeeds to create contact between the cold metal and the post.
[glow=red,10][marquee=right]YA![/marquee]
[/glow]Nidjj thrusts the dagger forward, cutting only air. The post reminds him of the sensation obtained by falling onto a tree branch. [blur=6]"Ugh..."[/blur]

Nidjj collapses onto the floor. "I would... gladly accept any advice from you, miss." He rises to a higher stance, attempting to stand. Still grasping his abdomen, he waits for the woman's response.

"Mabye afraid isn't the right word. How about mortal terrified?" (what does deluge mean?) Adsero put on her cloak. "It will make this more difficult but it should help." She stood ready to fight. "Don't think I'll be able to steal your money though. No matter, I don't like buying things anyway. Wanna see a trick?" She concentrated for a minute and her eyes turned red/orange. Soon her body began to be covered in flames. "I love fire." She smiled.

I must create a plan. Rain stops fire.

[marquee=up][wave=2,2]AGH![/wave][/marquee]

Nidjj barely deflects Adsero's first strike and immediately slides across the water-covered floor tiles, hoping to dispatch enough droplets to extinguish Adsero. Nidjj concentrates to ensure that his dagger and hand be reunited. Lacking the time required to stand, Nidjj quickly crosses the two blades before his face.

"OWWW!!!" Adsero angerly(i really hope thats a word) rubed where the water touched her skin. She counted four burns on her arms, the rest slid down her tunic. "I guess you didn't like the fire." She tugged the cloak more tightly around her. "I feel like throwing fireballs at you right now. Evil water sprayer." She gave him an evil stare. Then she sprung a collum of fire beside him, fighting to keep the floor from exstinguishing it. "I am very stupid. You know too much now. You have to die or join me as an ally." I wonder if I even COULD kill him....

Nidjj had guarded from the wrong angle. He suddenly recoils as he felt the tower of flame assemble beside him. He stands and spun around the column so that it separated him and Adsero. The distance between his eyelids decreases. This will be the first test of his ability as a fighter. Nidjj draws his hood and pulls his hands inside his sleeves. He leaps through the flame, utilising telekinesis to pull Adsero toward him. Nidjj rolls across the water to extinguish any fire that might consume his clothing.

[marquee=down]A small pouch falls from an opening in his coat.[/marquee]

He rises and locates himself behind Adsero, the eastern sword at her neck, the dagger at her abdomen. This is my opportunity to escape. I must use it. Knowing that he has little chance of defeating a flame-encloaked, experienced assassin, Nidjj drops the foreign weapon and runs. He replaces his dagger between him and his sash.

Adsero let him run, trying to control her anger. She didn't like it when she got wet. There will be opportunitys to fight with him later. She picked up Chalybs and replaced it and Shadow in their sheaths. She ran as fast as she could, then hopped onto her horse, ridding for the ruins to find cover from the rain.

Nidjj smirks as he runs, imagining Adsero's anger from learning that the bag that he dropped was empty. Nidjj now holds all of his coins within his sash. I'll have to find another bag.
