Jin looked down at the new daggers, her dark eyes lighting up with curiousity. She picked them up and studied them this way and that, balancing them in her hand. They were wonderful just to look at and hold, she wondered how amazing they would be to fight with.

With a happy smile, she looked up at Korlash. Even with them both sitting, she had to crane her neck a bit to do so. "Thank you, friend." She took the cheese from him and hungrily started eating. Manners weren't her strong point- human manners, anyway. With a mouthful of cheese, she spoke.

"I used too much magic. They told me it could hurt me. I just did not know because I have never used so much so fast. I came home and then I..." She frowned, searching for a proper term in the human tongue. There wasn't one in her head, so she tried to explain. "Er... went to sleep. Very quickly. On the floor." She took another hungry bite of cheese.

Hey, I'm headed out to do some errands. I'll be back in a couple hours.

Jin awoke, surrounded by warm softness and a somehow familiar scent that she liked. She opened her eyes as she became truly conscious, looking around at where she was. She'd never slept in a bed before... Maybe there was something nice about it. The blankets were warm, and softer than the ground, certainly. She got up, and wobbled, nearly falling over as her head started to spin. "Mm... too much... magic." The shamans had warned her of this when she was training. If you used too much magic, the spirits would take the remaining energy from your body and soul. It was possible to die from a big enough magical spell. Luckily, bodies could be helped. Food and medicine and rest. Souls, too, but she hadn't understood what they'd told her about how...

She made her way slow out the bedroom door, calling out. "Korlash?" Looking around, she suddenly realized that there was only one bedroom in the little cabin, and it was his. So that was the scent... "Korlash, I-" Her vision wavered and she found herself sitting down in the middle of the room. "...I... need help."

Etana heard the whistle, and carefully headed through the market at a pace that wouldn't draw any suspicion. She joined the others' general location without being close enough to look like she was with them. After she was sure no one was watching, she stepped into a nearby alley. She squared her shoulders, calmly walking through it as if she belonged there. Confidence was key to pulling off a lot. If you were able to successfully intimidate a person without violence or threat, they would have a harder time finding a clear way to subvert you. Her parents said she had a spirit born to rule something, and there were talks of arranging a meeting with the Pharaoh's younger male cousin...

There would be time to consider a proper marriage later. For now, there was a target to seek.

Jin nodded very slightly, and hastily rushed off toward the house. She took a long route around, just to make sure to shake off anyone who may be after her. Once she was sure no one was after her, she went into Korlash's home through the window. Hopefully he would bring back her dagger for her. With a sigh, she looked at her remaining weapon, which was covered in troll eye goo. She'd have to wash it... but suddenly she was too tired to stand up straight. "Nngh..." She slumped to her knees, only barely catching herself from falling outright. Her ears were ringing and her vision was going black, and she had enough time to get her dagger out of the way before she fainted.

"Go through these motions for a bit. Once they start feeling natural, try them on me." Flood replied as he demonstrated a basic Snake Style combo.

Devika watched Flood very carefully, her hands moving very slightly as he demonstrated the movements. She tried them, slow at first, one by one. Slowly, she threaded them together, until she had the combo in full. It took her a good twenty minutes before she felt secure, and then she looked at Flood. "Well... here goes." She started the combo, aiming unsurely in his direction. Even though she figured she wasn't near good enough to hurt him, it didn't stop her from pulling her strikes back just before they actually hit him.

Jin grunted as she gripped the troll's sparse hair, using that and her still buried dagger to keep herself stationed. "Sorry, don't understand." She willed her magic again, pushing herself into an aerial twist. Her dagger twisted in the troll's eye as she moved, and as she came forward closer to the troll's ugly, bleeding face, a second burst of wind drove her forward at a blurred speed. She drove her dagger down, right into the troll's throat. That set the troll swinging in pain, knocking her off hard and sending her hurtling toward the ground, too dazed to will the winds to save her. Instead of hitting the cobblestones, she landed on something warm and sturdy.

"Oh." She looked up at her savior, who was a frustrated looking Korlash. "Hello." She smiled with all the innocence of a young girl.

The troll finally fell to it's knees as the dagger made it bleed out.

Jin flinched as the troll's club came swinging down toward Korlash. She knew he wouldn't be stupid enough to get himself killed that easy, but it was still a close thing.

She swore under her breath, a Goblinish equivalent to 'idiot', which was her secret nickname for Korlash sometimes. The third troll was facing off against her elven friend, but the second that he'd blinded was swinging it's club wildly. It was hitting buildings, and people were screaming. Jin sighed faintly. She may not be entirely welcome in this city, but that didn't mean she'd watch others die.

She took several steps back from the edge of the roof, and concentrated. She pulled her magic from the pit of her belly, like she'd been taught by the shamans. With a burst of energy, she sprinted toward the edge and pushed off with all her strength. Her magic poured from her, willing the air around her to propel her further- right onto the blinded troll's head.

"Hey, bad-looking!" She drove her dagger right into it's eye, causing it to roar in a way that nearly jostled her free.

Jin froze at the strange noise, midway done with pawing through Korlash's larder. She had become very fond of cheese since she'd first tasted it, and she just knew her sometimes-friend would have some. While she didn't recognize the sound as dangerous, the yelling outside sounded afraid. When Korlash told her to stay, she knew it was trouble. Why was she to stay when she could help? After quickly stuffing a hunk of salted beef in her mouth, she grabbed her dagger belt and headed out the window.

Scrambling to the roof was just as easy as walking for her, and it gave her a better vantage point. "...wha?" Her eyes widened at the sight of the trio of trolls. She'd never seen a creature so massive. It would likely be difficult to take down. The problem was, she had gotten to know that Korlash had a thicker skull than most boulders. He wouldn't stop trying to hurt them until he was unconscious- or dead.

Silently, she crouched on the wet roof. The rain didn't bother her much, but it would make it harder for her to fight well. She would hold until she could figure out how to help.
