Finish off the knight

You can't allow yourself to be outnumbered. If you go after the mage, the knight might use a heal potion and get at you from behind. Better finish him off while he's down.

Swinging your heavy bag, you smash the knight across the side of the head and he bursts into a multitude of stars. A moment later, a bolt of lightning hits you knocking you back and nearly killing you, dealing 130 damage.

You feel yourself growing nearly 2 feet in height, and strength returning to your body as your HP is restored.

"What? That didn't kill him? That was my strongest spell," the elf mutters as she reaches into her bag. She must be nearly out of MP and reaching for a mana potion. She is too far away now, especially after knocking you back with her lightning. Thank goodness for your new abilities.

You put down your bag, and just as she is pulling out her mana potion, you open it and cast Shiny!! The gold coins inside shine ten times brighter than normal as if from a magic polish.

"Ahh!" Instinctively, the elf drops the potion and covers her eyes. It shatters and seeps uselessly into the ground. You decide to try out your other new ability as well. Taking a handful of coins, you toss them towards your adversary. They fly with speed and percision and the elf staggers back from the bombardment. She trips on a rock and falls on her butt.

"Finally I have the upper hand," you say to yourself as you sling your bag over your back and approach the mage. Things turned out better than you ever planned or even dared to dream. You've killed two heroes, gained 11 levels, and finally have some decent skills to fight back. Your only regret is you were unable to loot the knight and other hero before their goods disappeared - but that is minor compared to the prize awaiting you now.

You finally have a chance to get a good look at her. She is short, although perhaps still slightly taller than you, at barely five feet tall with long golden hair that cascades down past her shoulders. You notice her green robe has multiple slashes from your coins, and is barely clinging onto her body. She is still on her butt, with hands on the floor behind her and her legs slightly spread, trying to scramble away from the sound of your approach. Elves have great eyesight, making them expert archers, but also more susceptable to blindness. She is an elven mage with little physical strength and no MP, and of little threat to you. On top of that, she is still blinded, which might work in her favor for what is coming next.
