[The impact with the wall knocks the breath from Ran's lungs, sending an explosion of pain and light into her brain. She gasps for breath, feeling her body slump downward along the wall, legs twisting underneath her.]
[Senses honed by years of martial arts, she almost senses the strike as it hurls towards her and yanks to one side, the shadowy fist of one of the dark-suited Tall Enemies breaking plaster where her head was a moment ago. He's fast; he barely recovers before he's after her again -- before there's even time to scramble back to her feet. With the very little distance she's gained, she manages to get just enough space and leverage enough to sweep his legs, sending him toppling, but there's another one right after him. Her lungs are burning, her head is still reeling, and there's not enough room to get back to her feet. Her mind gropes for the spells in the back of her brain, scrabbling to get out of the way.]
