Annalise smirked with self-satisfaction as her wind-infused sabre tore Alison's dress to ribbons, not even deterred by her fire spell missing yet again. Much as the thought of stripping another woman had not initially appealed to her, the lady in red had to admit that the match was turning out to be a bit more exciting than she'd expected. The roar of the crowd, the energetic announcer...not to mention the fact she could see how clear an advantage she currently had over her under-dressed opponent. Annalise was almost worried her competitive spirit might get the best of her.
Regardless, things took a turn for the unexpected once Alison suddenly wrestled her out of her boots, eliciting a quiet hiss of pain from Annalise as her stocking-clad feet touched the blazing sand. Thin as they were, her hosiery provided practically no protection at all from the heat, causing her to hop lightly from foot to foot in an attempt to abate the pain. Despite attempting to play this off as simply adopting a more nimble fighting stance, Annalise was sorely wishing the rules could have permitted her to don her protective boots once again. While they were perhaps a slight improvement over a total lack of protection, Annalise's stockings were thin enough for anyone with a close view to see that her feet were quite petite, her small toes visible through the bumps at the front of her stockings, each aching to be saved from the heat.
"No shame at all? I'd be more worried if I were you. If you're going for my boots, then I'm not sure you even know to play this game..." Annalise quipped, managing to continue sounding confident despite the painful sand beneath her feet.
"I'll just have to teach you! Take this!" she bellowed, punctuating her taunt with a quick stab of her rapier. Alison would be able to see violet spirals of magic winding around the thin point of her opponent's sword as it was thrust forward, straight toward her bare shoulder. This was less an attempt to remove clothing and more an effort to sap Alison of her strength...
(Sum of actions: Body attack to exhaust, with Energy Drain: 2 + 2 energy = Bonus of +4)
Should her attack strike true, Annalise would follow up with another quick diagonal slice, this time attempting to split Alison's corset in two. (Body attack to strip: 2 + Signature Weapon + 1 energy = Bonus of +4)
Should her attack fail, Annalise will grow slightly frustrated, realizing how the battle is beginning to wear on her. She will attempt the very same maneuver, only without the added expenditure of energy, in an attempt to conserve what little she has left.
