Robin shows off her spellfencing talent

Robin reached the closest flare, seeing the masked face of one of the agents staring back at her, blowpipe at the ready. She grinned as he reeled back in surprise, firing off another dart which was easily blown away by her shield. Robin took a step back, then thrust her rapier forward, sending out a wave of **** which threw the man off his feet, smacking his head against his helmet and leaving him ****.

She turned, letting loose another burst of tracking flares as numerous darts bounced off of her shield. By now, the enemies seemed to have realized that there attacks weren't going to land, as two of them rushed her--blades drawn with a third close behind.

In the glowing, crackling light of the exploding spell--like an iridescent firework painting her skin, Robin jumped forward, cape flaring out behind her. She caught the first blade with the tip of her own, parrying it aside as she danced past the agent. With a fancy twirl of her blade, she knocked the sword from the second man, still moving forward.

The final sword wielding man swung in a long lateral strike, intended to catch Robin in the shoulder, but she nimbly ducked under it. Now with all three men behind her, each recovering to charge her again, Robin dropped her blade, sticking it in the dirt. As the men charged her yelling, Robin brought her hands together, letting loose a sound like a blast of thunder. The front man hesitated, but it was only noise, after all--they continued forward!

Of course Robin's spell wasn't done yet. As she picked up her blade once more, lightning crackled between her fingertips and as the first man reached her, she merely got inside his guard, tapping him with the tip of her blade and sending him toppling to the ground, twitching with powerful electricity.

Finishing them off was a simple matter from there, Robin merely danced around them, slipping easily past their blades to tap the remaining men with her own. The **** of electricity was far too much for any of them to handle, and they quickly succumbed, passing out on the ground around her--small burns on the spot where she had tapped them.

Now the only threat remaining was the mage that had been traveling with them. Robin looked around. She would be certain to make short work of him as well.
