((OOC: I have constructed this post under my best understanding of the actions I am under permission to take, and to the best of my present ability within a reasonable timeframe within my availability. I’m confident, at the very least, in my surmising that Sarah’s turn around would fill the time that it would have lapsed as the spikes launched. In particular if the spikes are being committed to the .5 second time gap between (potential) impacts. If this all proves insufficient or improper for addressing circumstances… well, I’ll just have to cross the bridge if/when I get to it)).
 
 
The worst possible circumstances could always seem to come upon a person at the worst possible times. This sense of truth would come to haunt Sarah in her toil by the wheat fields. Through her grit and effort, she had managed to forge her resistance against the first of the six stone spires. With the extra doing, she was furthermore successful in shrugging the projectile off of and away from her.
 
 
Yet, it would be in the coming of the second spike, in which she found her judgement at fault. Where she had anticipated its course to carve a straight path in the wake of the first, it instead altered course, redirecting to strike her abdomen. With less of a window to respond, would come a more concise reaction. Offering a turn at the hips, she planted her feet toe-forward, a positioning permitting a more fluid motion as she would bend at the left knee into lean out of the path of a direct impact. This second spike would, indeed, connect with her abdominal, in a more glancing strike, cutting against her front side, compounding with the scarring left in the passing of the first. 
 
 
Within the timeframe of this movement, the third of the six spikes would beset upon Sarah. It was at this point that she would commence in her effort to circle behind the spires; this same act would also serve to face her back in the direction of her opponent. Her her first maneuver to this end would be to carry her left foot into a forward step, offset towards the left in the intent to sidestep the incoming third spire. 
 
 
It was after this that Sarah would then endeavor to make the rotation proper: She would swing her right leg around as she pivoted towards her left side; a motion anticipated to set her out of the path of the fourth spike. When her right foot would set firmly to the ground, she would close her stance, pulling back while pulling her left foot in closer to her right. With this, would come a more natural stance, and, as she would hope, the chance of avoiding the bulk of impact as the fifth. Impact from the sixth spike would prove an inevitability, striking her to much the same effect as the first, tempered chiefly by her then still-active augmentation. 
 
 
If this maneuver were to leave Sarah in a, relatively, single piece, her attentions would shift back towards opposite end of the road, and the incoming red cloud. Her sensory priorities would realign, in majority, away from visual focus to disperse heightened awareness to others such as sight and touch. As the physical reinforcement would recede, a new concentration of her energy would coalesce within, and flux outward from her core. As the cloud would encroach upon her, she would release this amassing of energy. Covering all angles surrounding her body, the resulting force would burst outward in comparable fashion to her earlier offensive. If her own suppositions on the matter were to prove accurate, the exerted force would disperse the cloud from her immediate vicinity.
