The sight of that [[OldMaster old woman]] wearing no armour save for a tunic and pale tabard flickering through the tide of creatures was spellbinding, because Laurence de Montfort had sallied out to fight an army on her own and she was not losing. [...] She’d never once broken stride in all of that, [[NonchalantDodge nor had she overly hurried or strained herself]]. She was not using any of [[SwordBeam those wicked cuts]] I knew she was capable of, pacing herself in a display of utter scorn at the calibre of her opposition. Gods, if it was just her and the devils contained inside a ward she might not even lose.
