Snippet #1002978

Selvaria had been just about to cut down the bandit before her when an arrow suddenly thudded into his chest. The bandit gave a last wheezing groan, and then fell to the ground. Then the two bandits behind their fallen comrade joined him, falling to the ground, the hilt of a knife protruding from each of their throat, leaving two bandits left, looks of shock and utter bewilderment across their faces. However, they quickly regained their posture, and while one of them went for the direction which the knives had left, across the shallow river, the other attempted to attack Selvaria. As quick as a flash, Selvaria's hand flew to her waist, withdrew a dagger, and threw it, directing the blade towards the back of the fleeing bandit. It struck right in the small of his back, and he collapsed into the river. Returning her attention to her attacker, she parried the bandit's attack and stabbed him in the gut, pushing him back down to the ground.

Selvaria calmly strode over to the other bandit's body, and retrieved her dagger from his back, slipping it into her belt. Then she turned back towards the newcomers, her blade still drawn in case they were also bandits.
