The Masked Man avoided the punch intended to break that mask of his. He was faster than she expected, especially carrying something as cumbersome as that orb. He would be troublesome in the future. But what had her attention now were the black leeches that had burst from his cloak. The fiend! She jumps back, off the gate and onto the wall, escaping most of them, but her left arm had caught a few of them. If she hadn't gone for the punch, she might have gotten away clean but... she couldn't fight like this. They'd drain her faster if she did. The martial artist crouched and carefully cut each one in half to remove them. Once the suction broke, the half attached to her skin fell harmlessly away.

She couldn't leave her arm that way, she'd loose too much blood, especially if she continued fighting. It was too dangerous to tend to her arm here, however. She'd have to leave the princess in the care of the others, and depend on their skill, at least until she could stall the bleeding. She'd have to have the priestess heal her arm properly, later. The Martial Artist carefully picked her way down the rubble of the gate, landing on the outside of the city and finding cover in which to tend her arm. Use her Ki to stay the bleeding, wrap it, and then get back to the fight. She shouldn't leave them for long.
