"Well hey there long legged lady!" You call out to the spider daedra. Her smile falters for a moment. You don't think she was expecting that. "Wanna hear a secret about Mephala?" You start edging towards Medresi in that bubble of aetheric energy. If you can finally, finally get her then this daedra should disappear back to where she came from.
"Ssssecret?" She cocks her head to one side, eyes still fixed on you. "What ssecret about Lady Mephala?"
"Back in the day she and Sanguine used to be a bit of an item!" You edge a little faster. You aren't entirely sure she understands the concepts you're referring to. "I'm sure I don't have to tell you about what kind of kinky stuff the goddess of sexmurder and the god of debauchery got up to!"
"Irrelevant. I will kill you now." Aw, you wanted that to work. Ah, well, time for plan B.
You sprint flat out towards Medresi. "Mephala and Sanguine sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" You yell as you go, partly because you really, really want the spider daedra to do something other than try to kill you, partly because you just want to. Maybe it'll embarrass one of the princes involved. You doubt it, honestly, but Sanguine might get a laugh out of it.
With a shrill repeat of that statement you launch a devastating flurry of sword strokes at Medresi. Each, you know, aimed perfectly to at least cripple her limbs or worse. It's a perfect moment, no Champion of the fighter's guild could have done it better. Well maybe they'd do it with a little more panache but that doesn't count!
With each blow your sword bounces off the translucent bubble around the mad dark elf mage. You let out a scream of pure frustrated rage. Why is there always something in your way! First it was the spider army now this!
You pull back to launch another assault, there's a few cracks in the energy bubble and damn it you're going to do this if it kills you!
A sound like someone noisily launching a spitball reaches you then everything's black. You can't see, there's blackness everywhere you look as you twist frantically to catch sight of something, anything. Nothing and you hear the spider daedra laughing.
"Can't see, poor little fly." She hisses, her voice moving from one side of you to the other. She's still, you think, someway behind you. There's probably time to try hitting Medresi again.
"K-I" you strike and your sword bounces "S-S-I" you strike again like lightning in the same place twice, it bounces again but you think you feel it give a little "N-G!" You stab, straight forwards, and the bounce sends you reeling back.
"Be silent fly!" The spider daedra snarls and you catch the whistling of air being but by something sharp and fast. Desperately you raise your sword in what you hope is the right direction and brace yourself. This is going to hurt, she's going to impale you or-
CLANK
"H-How!" The spider daedra asks. You'd grit imaginary teeth and force her rapier? Leg? away with all your might. You hear her skitter back across the marble flooring and you swear you hear her teeth grinding together.
"Lady, I'm just
that good." You say confidently. The blackness is thinning a little, you think and the splish of viscous liquid hitting stone reaches you.
Did she spit venom at you? Is that what happened? Gross!

[ ] New plan? New plan!
So much luck, from everyone's dice. I'm rather afraid about Monday's update now.
