I stored my spear and kept the shield out, then turned around and faced the rest as I cut the stream of E'er off of Intimidate Prey.
Apparently I can mind-break people now, I thought. A surprise, to be sure. But a welcome one.
Pokora was looking at me with a face full of horror, Lapia was glaring at the hanging Elf, and Yolin had a serious expression.
"So," I began, walking towards them. "It seems we caught the other little shit that tried to kill me."
I lowered the woman, carrying her like a bag of groceries. Her wheezes and gasps were accompanied by pained moans every once in a while.
"What did you do?" Pokora asked me, looking at the piece of meat that previously was a thinking being.
"You could say I have a way with words," I simply said with a shrug.
"We're healing her," Yolin declared, her tone implying no room for argument.
Lapia sighed.
