4. The Cyclops Tracked Her

Anneke awakes and immediately realizes her body is on fire. She’s **** to pleasure herself. But something immediately shakes her from her reverie. A chuckle in the night.

“Now Pretty Elf is still.”

She locks her gaze with the one, giant eye of the cyclops. It must have been able to track her somehow! Annake struggles to escape her bedroll as the creature reaches down to grab her.

[Contested quickness: Anneke 15 vs Cyclops 17.]

She isn’t able to move fast enough. The Cyclops grabs her bedroll and picks her up, conveniently bagged for him. She isn’t able to grab any of her equipment as he begins to drag her. She struggles before realizing she had the foresight to sleep with her dagger in her bedroll.

[Anneke stabs: 2 vs Cyclops: 8. Miss.]

Even distracted as he is, she isn’t able to free herself enough to strike true with the dagger. But he can tell she’s trying something. He swings the bedroll into a tree trunk, hoping to knock the wind out of her.

[Cyclops: 12 vs Anneke: 24. Miss.]

She’s able to brace herself such that she doesn’t take any damage, thankfully. But she decides to stay put for the moment, waiting for a better chance to attack the giant creature.
