This woman was clearly psychotic, and a danger to the inhabitants of this land. Though it pained Saddaj, it was clear he would be forced to kill her. She was circling him, rather than attacking him immediately. She clearly expected an easy victory. Saddaj would be happy to surprise her, and if she was going to let him strike first, he certainly wouldn't complain. With his empty (left) hand, he drew his spear-stave. As quickly as he was able, he closed the remaining distance between them and threw the sand he still had in his right hand, aiming for her eyes, so as to blind and stun her. As soon as his hand was empty, whether his attack hit or not, he moved his left hand around to grip the spear-stave in a long-hand stance, ready to attack again or defend as he saw fit.
