DP CD: 1/3

Ceylinae's search for where the Limbara were located seemed to be one of those on going things, with her going out each day with her supplies, going a little further out each time. She meant to find them and soon she would fine 'the one' that was meant for her. She knew that the beast was out there but for now she was stuck in that endless loop that was seeking one of them out.

Today's search had brought her as far out as she'd been so far and this time she actually did find something... a shame it wasn't what she was looking for. Still, it was something worth shooting at since it was one of those glowy eyed weirdos that were underfoot. She hadn't really expected to see one of them on a Limbara hunt but she should still count herself as lucky that she'd found one. If she could beat one of them, before any of her sisters, it would show that she was worthy of being one of the 'First Three', right?

Notching an arrow Ceylinae took aim and let it fly toward the Yaelian that was seemingly searching for something among the underbrush.

Jolanta had gone out early on the behest of the Sanctum to search the area with a few others to see if there was any sign of the Alkidike that had attacked the Priestess. He'd gone first to where he'd found Priestess Fallon, getting chills as he arrived, before the search began from there. The woman was unlikely to still be around, right? After attacking the Priestess the Alkidike had likely retreated like a coward back to where she'd come from, right? That was at least what had made the most sense to the swordsman.

The search seemed to be turning up the same thing, telling him that whoever had been here, whoever had attacked the Priestess, was probably gone. They had done a hit and run, a most cowardly act, but if nothing else it had given Priestess Fallon a chance, right? She'd survived because whoever had shot her had run away instead of finishing off the job. They were cowardly, but it had allowed him to at least find the Priestess and along with the doctor it gave her a fighting chance.

Just as he was about to give up he heard something, the sound of a 'twang' that went along with the release of a bow string. Jolanta whirled around toward the sound, while lunging to once side. He almost made it out of the way of the arrow but it was able to slice through the pants he wore, along with some flesh, leaving a deep gouge in his leg. He looked at the wound, looked at the archer that had caused it, and for a moment saw red. Drawing his sword Jolanta charged at the archer, taking a swing at her with his great sword.

Ceylinae was rather pleased at the sight of the splash of blood caused by her arrow but at the same time it wasn't a good shot. He'd heard her coming somehow, meaning that she would need to practice walking silently, wouldn't she? Making note of that she prepared for the coming charge, moving to lunge backwards... only to get hit with the tip of the blade regardless. It was different from the weapons her sisters used, it was a longer, straight blade as a pair of curved blades. It had more of a reach then she was expecting causing her to be wounded by the accursed Earthling.

Giving a little hiss she bounced back a couple of steps as she drew another arrow, notching it, and took careful aim at the swordsman. He fought differently then her sisters did, moved differently, and his weapon was different. There was so much about him that was different then the duels she'd had in the past that she would need to adjust to but she meant to win this one to prove herself a good warrior.

Ceylinae was quick to release another arrow before she started to move again, dodging off to one side to prepare for what the Earthling warrior did next.

Another arrow was sent his way, this one slicing into but not finding purchase in his shoulder on the opposite side. It was another small wound but he knew full well that a wound like that could cause trouble for him later. If he wasn't careful he could risk bleeding out due to multiple little wounds. Not a thought that he wanted to allow himself time to think on for too long though given that he was in the middle of a battle. He could and would worry about his wounds and how to deal with them once this was over.

Lifting his weapon up he charged forward once again, taking another swing at the pink skinned woman in a downward arch, aiming for her shoulder. If he was able to wound her bow arm then maybe it would effect her shots from here on out? That was what he was hoping for at least. Best that he started to think about aimed shots that would have the intent of disarming and crippling his opponent. While he wasn't a violent man on a normal day he was already certain that this woman was the one that attacked Priestess Fallon. It made sense after all, she was in the same area, she had the right weapon, and she was of that tribe... not to mention she was taking shots at Jolanta. Of course she had to be the one!

It was this thought that drove him ever forward.

Tenacious little insect she found herself thinking as he took another hit from one of her arrows only to continue to charge forward toward her. She hadn't exactly expected one of them to fight back to be honest. From all that she'd heard they were nothing but a group of cowards that would run away the moment that they were approached. Having one stand up to her and even fight back wasn't something that she had expected but it made the battle more interesting at least. There would have been no fun and no sport in an opponent that she could only shoot in the back.

Drawing another arrow she notched, taking aim, and released it just as she was got hit by the downward slash from the Earthling. There was a slice that went along her shoulder and and side, drawing a cry of pain from her. It was a sound that she hated herself for releasing as she shifted, taking a couple steps back, and prepared for the warrior's next attack.

Another arrow came flying toward him but this time instead of trying to dodge it he went into it, getting it buried in his upper arm. It was a wound that hurt... but he had to ignore so that he could close the ground between himself and his rather tall opponent. Once he was close enough Jolanta gave a great roar, slashing his weapon at her in a sideways motion. It was a massive arch that he hoped would cause some real damage to the pink skinned woman.

If this woman was really the one that attacked the Priestess then she deserved to be taken down and chased off. The violent tribe needed to learn that the Yaeli weren't to be trifled with! Sure, they might be leery and afraid of the outsiders and the mainlanders but that didn't mean that they would just allow themselves to be walked all over! Jolanta would use his sword to protect everyone! He didn't care if he was the one to get injured, that was his task as a Paladin after all. He was supposed to be everyone's shield after all!

Ceylinae's attack: 3 + 18 = 21/5 = 4.2 dmg

Ceylinae was able to dodge out of the way of swing of the sword, glad that she could given the breeze that seemed to come from the sword. There was power behind that swing was rather significant, meaning that if she wasn't careful that she could be caused some serious damage. She had to be careful and make sure that she was one step ahead of this sword wielding warrior or else she was going to end up all cut up.

Taking a couple of steps to one side she drew an arrow, notching it, and took aim at the one in front of her. She sent another arrow flying toward him, eager to take him down as quickly as possible, before he was able to bring out another of those powerful swings of that weapon of his.

As the arrow came flying at Jolanta moved to dodge to one side, able to get out of the way of it for the most part, getting another slice from the sharp point of it, this time in the side. Gritting his teeth slightly planted his foot before lunging forward toward the woman once more, taking another swing at her. He could tell that the blood loss was effecting him a bit but he wasn't about to let it stop him. Especially not when such a dangerous person was right here in front of him.

It was his job as a Paladin of the Sanctum to get rid of this woman. He had to either beat her or cause enough damage that she would be forced to return from wherever she'd come from. So long as she was forced to leave the area, getting her far away from the Priests and Priestesses that were under his protection, then he would be happy. All he had to do now to push himself and chase her off.

Ceylinae was prepared for the next attack... or at least she had thought that she was ready for it. Instead she wasn't able to get out of the way of the blade, once more underestimating its reach, and took a hit to her side. It was something that caused her take a couple steps backwards away from him... and much to her shock her foot slipped on some rocks, causing her to fall backwards, landing hard on her backside. She landed hard and she landed wrong, more pain coursing through her along with embarrassment over actually falling in front of her enemy.

Dragging herself back up to her feet she reached for another arrow, preparing to attack again. She wasn't about to allow this glowy eyed weirdo to laugh at her! She wasn't about to allow herself to be weak or look foolish, not when she was doing her best to prove herself in this battle. Gritting her teeth she spat out, "I dare you to laugh. I'll kill you that much faster!"

As the woman 'dared him to laugh' he said nothing. He saw no reason to laugh... but then again even in general laughing wasn't really his thing. Instead he merely kept moving forward, attacking where he saw openings to do so. He knew that just because she'd stumbled once didn't mean that she was going to lose straight away. What he knew instead was that she was able to bounce back from even a stumble which made her that much more of a dangerous threat.

Lifting his weapon up he took aim, swinging it down at her once more in an attack to strike her again. He had to keep pushing himself, until one of them was finally forced to flee. Until that moment though he couldn't let his guard down for even a moment or else he'd end up hit with more of those arrows of hers... and the wounds he had from them already were painful enough.

After the terrible and painfully embarrassing stumble that she'd had Ceylinae's body seemed to react by making up for it, allowing her to completely dodge out of the way of the swordsman's next attack that was made against her. Once she'd slid out of the way she took a swing at him with the her bow itself, finding that she was far too close to the Yaeli at the moment to actually fire off an arrow.

After her weapon was swung she then danced backwards, hoping to put distance between the two of them. If she had some distance then she would be able to take aim and actually fire with the arrows in a proper manner. For the time being she was glad that nobody else she knew was around, not wanting anyone to see her in this duel due to the fact that she'd had a couple of stumbling points. There would be nothing in the world more horrible then being seen stumbling after all. As it was and given she'd been wounded by an Earthling she already couldn't go straight home... not until she'd patched herself up that was.

The next attack that was made against him was one that landed hard and with an awful 'crack' sound as the wood of her bow met his flesh. It wasn't an attack that he'd been ready for because who ever thought about someone with a bow actually using the bow itself as the weapon? He'd been waiting for her to notch an arrow and take a shot at him but instead she'd surprised him with her method of attack, which allowed her to do more damage then he'd of expected from such an attack. As it was the shot was a lucky one, hitting against one of the arrow wounds he'd already taken, which caused the wound to split open more and bleed more heavily.

Taking a couple stumbling steps back he was forced to re-orientate himself before he rushed toward the bow wielding woman, taking another swing at her. He had to be more careful he told himself, he couldn't allow himself to be hit by her attacks and he had to be ready for even strange attacks like the one she'd made when she swung at him with the bow itself. She was a tough opponent, one that would use against him methods of attack that he didn't expect, meaning he had to be extra careful.

The attacks made against her were ones that were swift and seemed to come in rapid succession, leaving her with a few new cuts in various places. It wasn't that they were all that bad on their own but the fact that there were many of them was the problem. The loss of blood was making her felt a touch woozy and when she made her own attack her shot seemed to go rather wide, didn't it? The arrow buried itself in a tree, much to her displeasure, and she was forced to retreat a few steps so that she could draw another arrow.

Once she was able to steady herself she notched another arrow, took aim, and prepared for her next attack. The last one had been a complete failure but she'd attempt to make up for it with this next shot.
