I think the problem is that some significant momentum has dissipated between the two posts. Running forward and swinging downwards is fine, noting that her attack failed because of the roll also, but it would difficult to correct yourself after such a heavy strike downwards, because of the blades intended striking pattern from before. (Cutting down and through the body, suggest a -lot- of strength and force was used.) When an attack like that misses its usually pretty debilitating for a short period. Though the sword being made out of flame... and presumably weightless, would probably limit this.Evvie is fast, so she could in theory twist around to swing her sword from its downward position quick enough that she could match the elf, if only because he used quite an excessive move himself (Rolling.) If I had to judge, I'd expect the first dagger to at least score a grazing wound, because its target is moving significantly, the second dagger would have to contend with its owner being chopped at with a sword. Considering the proximity though, the sword would probably be quite difficult to use. That's just my opinion however, and I've already shown I'm not much better with sword-play. I prefer punching things.

That sword was made of actual metal or something that move would have been impossible.
