cruel, quick, hungry [skiplaurel vs sk] day 2 / 9:15am

Laurel finds herself alone amidst the tree branches. It occurs to her that this would be a decent idea for a public park back in District Seven: numerous platforms kept suspended by tree trunks where children could chase one another and play hide-and-seek. Laurel observes the thick fog rolling beneath her and decides that such flights of fancy are pointless. The fog did not reach to her own level in the tree line, but the evening sky had informed her that the Bloodbath had yielded no fatalities. The Gamemakers would be restless, eager to send in their freaks of nature to pick off straggler Tributes such as herself.

Laurel becomes cognizant of another presence. At first, she thinks it is another Tribute and her blood runs cold, but she swiftly realizes that the figure is too well-armed to be another Tribute, not even one of the Careers. It lashes out at her with its sword before Laurel has a chance to say anything. She kneels down and grasps her right shoulder in pain, her flimsy ranger cloak doing nothing to protect her from the sudden attack. Enraged, she draws her own blade and retaliates.

Deep Gash on Back -- 8.5 damage

Laurel manages to crack her enemy's armor but she is visibly horrified that this barely seems to have any effect on it at all. This thing wasn't one of the Tributes, it couldn't really be a person. What was hiding under that helmet?

The knight lands another hit, this time on her side. She had to do her best to drive this thing off before it could do real damage to her. Fear continues to swell up inside of her but it is overtaken by pain and then rage. She attacks her assailant again.
