An attempted interruption.

You feel a slight resistance as the blade catches something, but easily goes through it. Before you can actually see what it is, there's a flash of pain in your back and you're flung several feet forward.

Landing in a sprawl you check your health, there's only a couple of life points left. At this point even a light breeze would kill you.

Turning your head to look back, you see Tania where you had been, standing over a man trying to hold his stomach together.

"Dammit King. He''s one of the best brewers and barmen on this continent. He made this area worth coming to."

She turns from the dying man and starts walking towards you, ready to finish it. Just as she raises her weapon for the killing blow, you feel a flood of strength and power flow into you.

You'd never felt such a rush before.

*DING*

You instinctively kick put at Tania, hoping to buy yourself a few seconds. Your foot catches her square in the gut, launching her across the area and through the half destroyed wall of a burning house.

Standing you pull up your 'level up' stats menu.

Well now, this is an unexpected boon.... Wait, how many followers do you have?

Before you can do a head count Tania kicks her way out of the burning wreckage, glaring at you the entire time.

"I don't know how you pulled that off King, but you are not escaping me again." She stalks towards you, muscles straining as she holds her weapon tighter than before.

Swallowing the lump in your throat, you take your stance again. "No escaping, just victory. Now come and get that beating."
