Yavanna Victorious
The sun rose over a scene of battle in the land of Krynn; the shuffle and clatter of combat spread across the fortress below as two opponnents duelled in the east tower of Pax Tharkas. Yavanna, Knight of the Crown, had come to deal death to the draconians who dwelt therein. She did battle against the captain of the tower, a hulking draconian clad in a red robe which barely concealed the armour it wore.
Asths, the captain's assistant, cowered in the corner as the battle raged. He did not dare to attack Yavanna though his captain threatened and cursed, for he noted well her lithe grace and the ease with which she swung the massive, cruelly spiked tessto in her hands.
Suddenly, two more intruders arrived, a human and a goblin. Now, here were foes that Asths could handle. The captain, too, noted their entrance, and, knowing that he could not defeat Yavanna, perhaps hoped to take one of these weaker-seeming intruders with him. The captain attacked the human, and Asths followed suit. However, the human had no stomach for this, and quickly ran back down the stairs, taking his goblin comrade with him. The captain turned back to Yavanna in time to see her tessto crash upon his head. Reeling as if drunk, he staggered back, searching for more ground. At that moment, the human and goblin arrived once more. Asths decided that he had enough of these humans, and decided to focus upon the goblin. After all, he had beaten goblins brutally many times in the past, and knew them generally to be weak and cowardly.
At that moment, Yavanna leapt toward the captain and, with a mighty swing of her steel tessto, shattered the captain's arm, nearly tearing it off. Life departed the captain at that moment, but not malice, and his body exploded into thin flames that engulfed the tower. Asths attacked the goblin, and Yavanna turned to face the two newcomers as they both engaged her. She leapt in front of the stairs, keeping herself between them and the human. "Today's mistake," she snarled, as she brought her tessto down hard upon the human's body.
Despite her wounds from the captain of the tower, the fact that she was outnumbered, and the flames raging around them, Yavanna steadily began to beat her foeman bloody with her vicious weapon. As the flames died out about them and as the human Gladiator's blood boiled on the hot stones of the tower, Yavanna asked if either of her foemen dared to introduce himself. Her only answer was a feverish silence as each of them tried to beat back his foe and keep himself alive.
Suddenly, the human's resolve broke, and his smashed and broken face became a bloody mask of fear. Desperate to escape, he dashed for the stairway down, only to find that he could not dodge around Yavanna or push her out of the way, so great was her physical prowess, nor could he outwit her and fool her into moving away from the stairs. Time and again he tried, only to receive a clout upon the head or a buffet with the tessto. Finally, Yavanna raised her mighty spiked club high and brought it down upon the human's back, crushing the life from him. She regarded the human solemnly as the dark shadow of death swept over his eyes.
Asths saw the mighty female human destroy the second human, and suddenly the goblin he was fighting took the opportunity to dash down the stairs, clearly fearful of the great human and her deadly club. He hissed mirthfully, knowing the treatment the goblin would receive in the rooms below at the hands of his brothers. His amusement was cut suddenly short as the blue-eyed woman turned toward him...
