The world seemed to blur for a moment and the next thing Yahtzee knew he was lying on his back on the unyielding ground looking blankly at the ceiling. The throw had knocked the wind out of him. For a moment he could do little but lie there in a daze and as he got to his feet he held out one hand towards Cora. "A moment, if you would..." He gasped between breaths as he regained his bearings. He shook his head and straightened up meeting Cora's eyes steadily. "Alright, I'm ready." His flames burst back into their full glory and he ran towards Cora again. Instead of just trying to simply attack her like he had done earlier he stopped just before reaching her and ducked low and to the side so that he moved past any retaliation she might make and he straightened up behind her driving his elbow backwards and into the small of her back. It seemed only a few notches higher than a cheap tactic and he was more than a little ashamed to resort to something like that however he doubted he knew that there was almost zero chance of him coming out the victor in this fight and he would like to have at least one solid blow to show for it.
