You went to explore some old Falmer Ruins as part of a Bounty on a fleeing group of Bandits the companions sent you after. You turn a corner, and find several Falmer standing over the body of a redheaded woman. She's unarmed wearing the almost fully torn away ruins of some skintight leather suit, her one remaining boot has a spiked heel, oddly impractical. The lead Falmer leans over her ready to dedcapitate her with an axe.

Anaya Rosethorne's blood heated up at the sight of the redheaded woman's plight. A fraction of a second was all she needed to realize that it was too late to pick up her bow and take aim (as she already held her sword and shield), the woman would be already dead. Rather, she took a quick breath in, aimed carefully and...
-...Fus RO DAAAAAH!!!
A torrent of near-invisible concussive force was sent against the Falmer about to behead the woman, hitting some of his comrades if she could help it, although it was the Dragonborn's main goal to avoid hitting the woman. She then rushed to the redhead's side, shield at the ready, hitting on it with her blade to attract the Falmers' attention.
-Back! Back, I say, you wretched cowards! How dare you attack a lone woman with those numbers? ...If it's a real fight you seek, then seek it no longer! I am right here!
She then shield-bashed the closest falmer to give the woman some more breathing space and make sure the Falmer would focus on herself rather than the redhead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 5/5 E: 24/24
9 stones (Efficient) into Ranged Combat (Dragon Shouts, Precise shots) plus 2 from Targeting, plus 3 from Dragonforce, plus 5 from Unrelenting Force; 3 in control to make sure I do not hit the woman by mistake, the rest into a 16 stones attack (10' area around impact, will throw victims 1 yard/red stone of damage dealt) VS the falmer about to decapitate her, and if possible, some of his friends too.
9 stones (Efficient) into Close Combat (Swords, Shield, Fighting multiple opponents) plus 3 from DF, plus 3 from the Stormblade; 6 to shield-bash the closest falmer left in the face, 9 into defense.
End E: 12/24 Defense: 17 (3 Ref.Dodge, 2 Toughness, 3 [No AP, No 2x damage] Armor, 9 actions), 19 VS the two closest falmers (Shield of Ysmir) Mental Defense: 11 (6 Intelligence, 5 Mental Defense) Magical Defense +3 Cold Defense +3

You send three Falmer flying with your shout, and quickly bash one of the other two away. The Falmer hiss drawing two swords, and two bows, ready to attack the new arrival.

A smirk appeared on Anaya's lips. She had seen this so many times... her opponents bringing their weapons to bear against a foe whose might was so much superior to them, it wasn't even funny. Falmer, bandits, imperials, Thalmor... they never learned. Even after such a display of power as a Shout like Unrelenting Force, they still wanted to fight? "Well, so be it", the girl thought to herself, as her sword, the mighty Stormblade, bathed itself in pure, whitish energy.... an enchantment of her own creation.
-Too bad you don't understand me... I'd tell you to run away while you still have legs. En garde!
She charged at them, targeting the ones with the swords first with the clear goal of slicing them in half, while attempting to deflect the archers' arrows using her trusty shield. Falmer arrows were no big deal, but their poison was a bit of a bother sometimes, so she preferred them out of her flesh rather than in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 5/5 E: 24/24
11 stones (Efficient) into Close Combat (Swords, Shield, Fighting multiple opponents, Using powers in combat) plus 3 from Dragonforce, plus 4 from the Stormblade; split into two 9 stones attacks (2x damage, AP) VS one falmer swordsman each, struck from 10 feet away using the Stormblade's power to take them by surprise.
6 stones into Acrobatics, plus 2 from DF, all into defense.
End E: 10/24 Defense: 16 (3 Ref.Dodge, 2 Toughness, 3 [No AP, No 2x damage] Armor, 8 actions), 18 VS the two archer falmers (Shield of Ysmir) Mental Defense: 11 (6 Intelligence, 5 Mental Defense) Magical Defense +3 Cold Defense +3

You lash out and cleave deep into each Falmer swordsman dropping them like flies. The one with the Axe charges at you clanging against your armor but failing to penatrate.

-Uff!... Nice strike, Blind-Eyes. Never saw it coming.
The Dragonborn put away her shield in a swift move as she readied a spell with one hand and her blade with the other. With a flicker of her fingers, she casted the conjuration spell Soul Trap onto the axeman, and then... proceeded to plunge her blade into his throat. Whether she succeeded or not, she then threw herself to the side to avoid the inevitable arrows the archers would fire again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 5/5 E: 24/24
9 stones (Efficient) into Magic (Conjuration, Soul Trap) plus 3 from Dragonforce; all 12 into casting Soul Trap onto the falmer with the axe.
11 stones (Efficient) into Close Combat (Swords, Shield, Fighting multiple opponents, Using powers in combat) plus 3 from Dragonforce, plus 4 from the Stormblade; 12 into a 12 stones attack (2x damage, AP) VS the axeman in an attempt to stab him in the throat with my sword; 6 into defense.
End E: 10/24 Defense: 14 (3 Ref.Dodge, 2 Toughness, 3 [No AP, No 2x damage] Armor, 6 actions) Mental Defense: 11 (6 Intelligence, 5 Mental Defense) Magical Defense +3 Cold Defense +3

You cast soul trap on the creature and impale it through the throat, it's soul sucked into a lesser soul gem in your bag.

The Harbinger of the Companions pressed her plated left boot against the chest of the dead Falmer, pushing it aside from her blade, as she turned her gaze towards the two Falmer archers. Holding her sword aside, she simply walked towards them, before suddenly shouting:
-ZUN HAAL VIIK!!
The Disarm Shout, one of her favorite, when she judged that the fight was over, but some of her enemies were too foolish to take the hint if they still had a weapon in hand. Whether it worked or not, she kept her guard up, ready to slice the arrows in mid-air/parry their attacks if they didn't flee.
-You lose. Now run off with your lives before I change my mind, she stated threateningly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 5/5 E: 24/24
14 stones (Efficient) into Dragon Shouts (Disarm), plus 3 from Dragonforce; split into a 8 and 7 stones effects to disarm the two Falmer archers in an attempt to make them understand how outmatched they are so that they do the smart thing and run away.
9 stones (Efficient) into Close Combat (Swords, Shield, Fighting multiple opponents) plus 3 from DF, plus 3 from the Stormblade; all into defense.
End E: 8/24 Defense: 20 (3 Ref.Dodge, 2 Toughness, 3 [No AP, No 2x damage] Armor, 12 actions) Mental Defense: 11 (6 Intelligence, 5 Mental Defense) Magical Defense +3 Cold Defense +3

In a rare display of intellect, the archers imediately run away as their bows are torn from their hands.

-Huh... how about that. I guess survival instincts are not an entirely lost concept on the Falmer mind...
The Dragonborn sheathed her sword back, and quickly knelt next to the woman, worried. Hopefully, she wasn't too late.
-By the Divines... do not die on me, okay? ...Hang on!
Pressing her hand on the woman's heart, she casted a restoration spell to heal her wounds, and fight off any poison that might be affecting her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 stones (Efficient) into Magic (Restoration, Healing Hands) plus 3 from Dragonforce; 6 to heal 2 white of Health (if she lost any), 7 to cure her of possible Falmer poisons in her blood.

The woman resumes breathing at a normal rate, she's still unconscious, but clearly shivering from her ruined outfit, and the cold of the ruins.

Anaya Rosethorne
The woman would live, that much was certain. That is, if she didn't die of the caverns' cold. Clearly not a Nord, as this temperature was no big deal for Anaya. She wondered who the woman was, and what she was doing there. Her outfit was rather... peculiar, to say the least... although it might have been because of how much destroyed it was.
-Diivon, she stated in Dragon Tongue, manifesting a fur armor, boots, gloves and a bear's fur to wear over it. Not fantastic protection, but few beat it when it came to enduring the cold of Skyrim. She then gathered what flammable materials she could from her surroundings and the dead Falmer, and casted a small fire spell on it to generate some heat. Finally, she approached the unconscious woman with the fur armor set:
-No offense, lady-friend... b-but if I am to put these onto you, I need to get you out from what's left of those.
She proceeded to remove what was left of the woman's outfit, being careful not to allow her fingers to linger on too long. Always a bit shy despite the years she spent saving the world, she was a bit uncomfortable doing this (especially considering how... comely the redhead's body was), but she had to. As soon as she was done, she'd dress her up in the fur armor suit and bring her closer to the small fire she had started. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Those are basically my actions for the next two panels, feel free to interrupt at some point if anything happens, lol.
Panel 1:
1 stones (Efficient) into Dragon Shout (Carry Gear), plus 3 from Dragonforce, to utter the first word "Diivon", and manifest four pieces of clothing: fur armor, boots and gloves, and a bear's fur.
3 stones into Agility to quickly gather flammable materials from my surroundings.
Panel 2:
2 stones into Magic (Destruction, Fire) plus 3 from Dragonforce, to start a small fire with the materials, in order to heat the surroundings up a bit.
4 stones into Agility; 3 to undress the woman, 1 to try to avoid touching her in ways that would make her (and thus myself) uncomfortable as I do so.
If all goes well, I'd also renew those last stones to get her dressed afterwards.

You remove the woman's clothing amazed at how soft her hands and feet are, clearly this woman has not experienced the kind of working and living conditions in Skyrim to have skin and hair so soft and unblemished save for a few scars littered throughout her body.
You quickly redress her and start the fire.

Anaya Rosethorne
Her cheeks flushed as she finished redressing the red-headed woman, Anaya made sure that she was properly wrapped in that bear's fur and assembled what was left of the woman's clothes, her shoe and whatever else she had removed from her in a small pile next to the sleeping woman. She then sat on the opposite side, to not make her feel threatened when she'd wake up.
As she waited for the girl to wake, she reached for a pair of roasted goat legs she had been carrying in her bag for lunch, and heated them up over the fire.

Several minutes later you hear the woman begin to stir. "Ugggh, where am I- what am I wearing? She sees you, her ripped clothes, and assumes the worst, YOU BITCH!!!" Before you can even say anything, she spin kicks you into a wall. (OOC: Lose 1w.)
