ELIZA(She darts in and out of the orcs, looking for points of weakness, stabbing here and there. Finally, one of the littler ones bares his armpit to cut at Blandamour. Her training takes over and she stabs the thing to the hilt, and it falls with a gurgle. Quickly withdrawing the blade, she parries a club from a bigger orc and cuts at his neck. She misses, but the edge of her shield catches the monster's hand, momentarily paralysing it and making him drop the club. More confident, now, she feints at the orc's face,and when it raises his hand to block it, stabs it in the chest. She feeels an exhilaration. Perhaps she can become a Paladin, after all. Just because she is not a cow like Galadria. There was a place for small and nimble.)
