The words were uttered just moments earlier as the world seemed to be torn asunder. Katia had traveled for months, years in search of a place she could call home. When she finally felt she had found one, the fates deemed it necessary to send it careening into an undulating sphere of death and destruction.

There was probably a metaphor in there somewhere.

More importantly, however, was the new threats that emerged, seemingly from thin air. Magic may not have been Katia’s specialty (indeed, much that required intense thought was something she cared little for), but even she could tell that this arcane being deserved no less than their immediate and violent attention. If nothing else, the being was taunting them forward, goading them into approaching. And what could mere mortals do against a colossus this size? Whatever it was, they had better do it, and quickly. The sphere of destruction did not appear likely to wait patiently by. 

Momentarily caught off guard by the massive destruction all around them, Katia was brought back to the danger close at hand by the -[i]whizz[/i]- of a crossbow bolt striking the enemy before her. Grasping her trusty walking stick with both hands, she swung haphazardly. Before it landed, the words from her teammate echoed in her ear, and her focus returned as she slightly adjusted her swing, slamming it into the pile of shadow and sending it back to the depths of darkness from whence it came.

[color=ed1c24]“Thanks!”[/color] she called out over her shoulder, whizzing off towards the next enemy. She bounded forward, following Thea and the others into the fray. Just before she arrived at the dark trio of shadows on the stairs, Katia planted the quarterstaff into the ground with a vicious howl, propelling her up to deliver a roundhouse kick directly into the face of the closest shadow while a free arm struck out at its nearby companion, attempting to rake the darkness off its chest. 

[color=ed1c24]“We gotta take out the big guy!”[/color] Katia called out, continuing her rush forward until she came to rest behind Thea. This was the sort of exhilaration she had been waiting for. The previous fights they had shared together were fun, but nothing beat the world crumbling around you as you fight for life and justice! Or at least, for your life. 

Shame about that world though. It was kinda nice at times.

Katia uses Insight to determine whether they should approach, garnering a roll of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2398]12[/url]. She will expend 1 Ki to use Flurry of Blows, splitting her attacks among the foes she approaches. 

Her first attack is with her Quarterstaff: [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2432]10[/url]+[url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2433]4[/url]=14 to hit for [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2434]5[/url] bludgeoning damage.

Her second attack is with her Cat’s Claws: [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2435]23[/url] to hit for [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2436]4[/url] slashing damage.

Her third attack is also with her Cat’s Claws: [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2437]11[/url] to hit for [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/2438]4[/url] slashing damage (but it sadly missed).
