Fall - Endurance

Bane howled, and to Fall's surprise, moved his broken arm like lightning, smashing into Fall with a brutal backhand that put her into a nearby wall.

This time, though, she'd hit a gold seam trailing through the wall. Fall wasn't human, not close, and what she was was very susceptible to gold. Wherever the seam touched bare skin might as well have been lit on fire. Fall howled and screamed in agony, but was too hurt to immediately peel herself off of the wall. What didn't help was Bane focusing in on the sound, smashing his forearm into her to pin her against the wall in an attempt to grind her into dust.

Fall shrieked, her vision going as every nerve in her body reported back an unending stream of suffering. There was nothing else she could do here, stuck between her greatest weakness and a power she couldn't overcome. This was it.

"You OVERSIZED PIECE'A SHIT!" One-Eye howled, leaping onto Bane's back and swinging indiscriminately, doing as much damage to the machinery as he did to the back of Bane's head. When he'd left a few fist-sized dents in Bane's neck and skull, he had the good sense to leap off of Bane's back, as a moment later the giant tried to bash his own back into the nearest pillar to peel the orc off.

Freed from basically certain death, Fall fell from the wall in a limp heap, only barely saved from unconsciousness. But there was no time to rest. She felt more of her latent power flooding through her now, reinvigorating her muscles and silencing her pain, but there was more.
