The woman was in the zone as she focused on Vesper so much that the magic circle and the fact that she was facing a dragon slayer didn't faze her.  To her this was like a chess match, move and counter move and she planned to take the advantage and right now.  

And so when the crystal spikes were announced by Vesper, her reflexes kicked in and her counter attack ensued.  She spun her whole body around and shrieked at the top of her lungs,  "Hurricane Storm!!!" as a hurricane molded itself to her body and quite easily blew away the incoming crystal spikes.  And then the hurricane chased after Vesper with winds strong enough to rip apart houses, and then a second hurricane was launched after Vesper and then a Third, each as strong as the one before.  After she launched the third one she put her hand on her knee and panted heavily, she wasn't quite exhausted but she was close.  

Xanders dodge of the dagger cage came as a total shock to the man and so he wasn't prepared for his thunder fist, taking the breath from him and leaving a stinging pain inside his chest.  

"Don't Disregard me!"  The man turned to the sound in time to see Eris right next to him with blades ready to shred him.  [i]Ah, damn.  this be painful...[/i]  he used his right arm as a last second block to prevent his chest being sliced apart.  As a result his right arm was rendered useless.  

He didn't dare give up though.  He knew that the grunts might take pity on him, but the higher ups would personally obliterate him, for weakness.  

With that thought in his head he attacked ferociously, he gestured with his left hand and moved it so fast its gestures were unreadable.  The result was that wind tore apart all the roofs of the dozen surrounding houses and threw down the broken roof pieces upon Eris and Xander.  

He grinned wildly as he attacked.  [i]They are dead!  They are dead!  Ahahahahaha![/i]
