Novices of the White Tower IC - Part 1

[Anyr]

Nicaene's fears once again became reality. Gashes were carved in her flesh from both in front and behind. In a few short seconds, she was brought to the brink of collapse. Was this where it all ended? No long career, no glory. Just being stabbed to death in some random alleyway? Behind her, she could hear Lilleah trying to negotiate with the thieves, instead of fighting by her side. Even Nicaene's closest friend had completely ignored her battle plans. Maybe she didn't deserve to be a Warder. If she couldn't grasp victory or respect here, what hope did she have of doing so in the years to come? That is, if there were any years to come.

Well, so be it. This wasn't at all the fate she'd hoped for; But she'd face it nonetheless. Nicaene managed to choke out a few more words as she sliced desperately at her foes. Though she already knew that (just like the last time) they'd almost certainly be ignored.

"Run, Lilleah! Just run!"

Nicaene recovers her maneouvres with an attack against the woman. She fights defensively: Taking -2 to attack, and gaining +2 to AC.

Attack: (1d20+4)[18]; Crit confirm: (1d20+4)[11]; Damage: (1d12+6)[12]

Edit: Apologies. That attack roll should be 2 points lower. Fighting defensively actually gives a -4 penalty.
