Worked like a charm

The scream let him know that he had struck true although she let loose yet another war cry. It had a much less disruptive effect this time around, something he could work around. He noted that while before the cry she required the halberd for support just to stand but after it she was able to turn around and reach for him with less than ideal hindrance.

Nothing too disruptive. What drew his interest more was that she let go of her halberd to try and reach down to grab him. He was quick to come to a decision as to what he wanted to do. Sparing little time his upper body quickly bent away from her hands and around her foremost leg, winding past her leg like some sort of large serpent. His body and arms began to stretch, growing longer and thinner as he reached for the halberd. People in the crowd could see his sleeves starting to reach farther and farther away from his hands while his ink-black torso slowly became visible past the edges of his coat tail.

As he went he brought his legs around her front leg, kicking one of his feet out to try and buckle her back leg out from under her with a well placed swing of his boot. Once out from between her legs he swung his legs back behind him like they were part of a large tail at the end of his body. Using the turning motion he scooped up the halberd she had released from her grip with his long ropey arms and swung the pole-arm in a wide arc roughly knee height off the floor.

He was swinging to try and remove her legs with a larger, heftier blade than those sported by his daggers. While he might not of possessed her sheer physical might he certainly possessed considerable speed and reach given this improvement he's made on his natural form. Despite lacking a skeleton in the parts of his body effected by the spell he was no less capable of exerting his physical strength through these portions of himself, even if he lacked the firmness and stability such bones could bring to the table. He was no slouch either. Climbing built him to be fairly muscular despite his relatively diminutive size. As it stood the blade of her halberd was racing towards her knees with both considerable speed and a decent amount of strength backing it.

All the while two small tendrils had slithered their way up past his collar. They inserted their noodly little ends into each of his ears, breaking the ends off and retreating back into the safety of his coat. The little ends of these tendrils wriggled into his ears until they were firmly set. He now found that he could hear very little with the darkness plugging his ears which was the intent. Given the volume of the cry she used to stun him he hoped to circumvent this by blocking out the sound of her voice or at least dampening it to a reasonable level. It was careless enough to be caught out with such a trick the first time, he was definitely not keen on getting caught by that same trick at a more crucial moment.
