[Serena] Challenge Ladder

[Mysticsage]

Serena entered the battle field unlike her other times when she had been borrowing clothes from the other guild members. This time she was in an airy dress and her blue hair tied back with a crimson ribbon and a small hair pin. It was rather unconventional to fight in a sun dress. But it allowed for the greatest amount of movement and was what she fought in for yeas when she  traveled with Kryas. This particular dress was as similar shade to her hair with a simple neckline and slit up the side. Though if any onlookers were hopping for a peep show they would be disappointed. Her original combat wear design had certain enchantments to maintain modesty. She touched the rope of prayer beads around her neck then set her mind to the task at hand. As She began to faintly glow with a cascading blue and silver light.

As the combatants entered the arena, Serena noticed that the other creature at the far end of the arena looked like some sort of cat. It was the same size as a regular house cat.

Same arena used as in Tournaments. Assume cat is 115 ft. away.

"um, that's just a house cat right?" She said looking around as if this was some kind of joke. "I'm not going to hit a poor cat. Isn't there some way I can just throw it out of the ring or something?" Looking at the cat just to be safe she cast shield of faith on herself and went into her defensive open palm stance.

When you finished casting the spell, the kitten started rushing towards you. It was still a good distance away, around 65 ft.

You can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character's activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action. Your initiative result changes. For the rest of the encounter, your initiative result is the count on which you took the readied action, and you act immediately ahead of the character whose action triggered your readied action.

Serena to roll attack and damage for readied action.

Serena
You attempted to attack it, but as it closed the distance, it pounced and managed to dodge out of the way of your attack. It flew towards your face, with its claws leading the way. It managed to get a clean bite on your neck, though it lost its hold pretty quick. It attempted to follow up with its two claws, but missed.

After it landed, it leapt up again, aim for your neck. You were more prepared however, and managed to step out of the way completely.

Serena
Once you stepped out of the way, and doubled up on your attacks, you managed to hit the cat, and though it wasn't knocked out, it had started to bleed profusely. Just when you thought it would attack again, it stopped in its track and began to fall. A  flash of light appeared and soon enough the cat was gone.

As the next round was prepared, you see in the distance what looked to be a robed figure, covered from brownish-black clothing. Apart from that, it was still too far to get any more details.

[info]Roll some sort of thing to get the crowd going, and roll initiative.[/info]

[Mysticsage]

Serena seeing an actual opponent she felt heartened to not be fighting a poor cat. Memories of Kryas with his companion back home left her with a bad taste in her mouth. But now seeing some kind of goblinoid she she could at least focus on the battle at hand. She started to do her usual prayer like dance in order to get her mind centered and the crowd cheering she would save the real song and dance for later if she got into the higher fights. She was a performer two after all.
