The Gnoll Chieftain Bests Fuu

As the Chieftain barreled toward her, mighty ax raised in a powerful swing, Fuu found herself panicking, for the first time in a very long time. The creature was hulking, several times her size, it seemed, but all she could do was brace for his attack a pray.

Fuu held up her Naginata cross-ways as the Gnoll Chieftain brought down his ax mightily. A blow that was meant to cleave Fuu in two slammed into the shaft of her weapon and, thankfully, the magical staff held up. Fuu's face contorted with the effort of trying to match the Chieftain's monstrous strength, only barely managing to stop the swing of his weapon mere inches above her sweat covered brow.

She barely had a moment to thank the Gods that she was still alive before the Chieftain swiped up at her. The ax fell away as a powerful paw slammed into Fuu, lifting her off her feet and dashing her against the wall of the cave.

Fuu fell to the ground, gasping for breath, her vision blurring from the **** of the impact, her weapon cast aside, forgotten as the Chieftain loomed over her.
