As the two trolls charged Riez, she couldn't help but feel like she might have made a wrong decision at some point. The massive creatures were more than happy to beat her to a pulp as if they had been waiting for violence for weeks. She had hoped that she might use some of her Command Domain powers on them to make them go against Money Gobz, but that ship had sailed, as they saw nothing but red at that moment.

  However, to Riez's surprise, it was like the two massive beasts were moving through malaise. As soon as they entered the combat, the system helpfully took over and activated the various powers that allowed her to fight effectively. It was a strange feeling, though it didn't feel like she was being forced to move in a specific way, instead it felt like a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. As the world slowed around her, Riez found herself more aware of her surroundings and more focused on how to move.

  The first massive fist was about to hit her, and she simply side-stepped. She could feel her body was more than happy to follow her commands, and it required little to no effort to simply avoid the attack. She could feel how everything flowed naturally, as if she had been doing this for years, and she hardly had to think about performing a movement before her body was already acting. It was like she was in tune with her body in a way she had never experienced before. The feeling was definitely addictive.

  Another attack threatened to try and take off her head, but a simple crouch made the massive foot fly above her. She wondered if she could use her power of Sanctified Violence without having a weapon, and she decided to try it.

  Sanctified Violence

  Type: Constant

  Energy usage: N/A

  Full effect: Even your words scourge those who incur your wrath. Your weapon or unarmed attacks count as a 1d20 magical weapon with a range of up to 200 feet. If you kill a target who first initiated violence against you, either with this gift or another power, lesser foes who see it or learn of it will be unable to consider the death as unlawful, unfair, or socially inappropriate.

  With a push, she quickly tried to redirect the kick above her at towards the other troll, hoping that the system would register that she had chosen to use her opponents as her weapon of choice.

  It was a struggle. The foot was heavy, far heavier than it should have been, and even with a divine body, Riez was not specialised in strength. However, she focused on the foot, projecting the idea of it being her weapon, and before it had completely passed over her, she felt a surge of power pour through her.

  In a moment, it was like the world sped up once more, and the kick from one of the trolls erupted with a speed far greater and a force far more intense than what had initially been pushed into it. The attack hammered into the face of the other troll, smacking it clean across the ugly features and throwing it to the ground.

  Riez laughed, almost doubling over as the sight brought mirth to her very being. Seeing someone get smacked that hard was definitely a joy to watch.

  The troll that had been hit seemed to pick up on this mockery and quickly scrambled to its feet, at the same time tearing up the earth and using the momentum to hurl a stone at Pink Gob.

  The massive boulder was big enough that it would be hard to dodge, even to the point where it would hit Riez no matter what. She took a breath and activated Time in Bottle. The greater Alacrity power allowed her to act even before the attack would hit her.

  Time in a bottle

  Type: Instant ability (Smite)

  Energy usage: Until next loading screen

  Full effect: You can only activate this when someone performs an action. You get a free round’s action and movement before they can perform their act. If their desired action is rendered impossible by yours, their action is wasted. As a Smite gift, this can't be used two rounds in a row.

  The world slowed to a crawl as if her perception of time became much greater than anything that should be possible. She moved, and with ease, she made it out of the way of the boulder. However, she slowly pushed against the massive rock, guiding it towards the troll that hadn't taken any hits.

  This time, her Vengeance Domain understood her intention, and with ease, she managed to use what had been intended to be a weapon for her into a weapon against her foe.

  When the world sped up again, the boulder seemed to change direction at a 75-degree angle before hammering into the other troll.

  "Ooooh! That must have hurt!" Riez said, having changed position to stand beside the troll that had thrown the boulder, clearly pretending that she had always been standing there.

  The troll that was hit by the boulder had been knocked deep into the ground, and if the massive creature had anything between its ears, Riez might have been afraid that it had been suffering from severe concussion.

  The troll that had thrown the boulder just nodded. "Ye" it said, as if they really had just been talking.

  Riez couldn't believe that had worked. These creatures really were as stupid as they looked. It was the first words that Riez had heard come from the massive beasts, but she grinned.

  The troll that had been knocked down by the massive piece of rock was slowly getting to its oversized feet and struggling to stand, each step making it stagger. However, instead of focusing its fury on Pink Gob, the hatred in its beady little eyes fell on its comrade. The charge was legendary, though not very graceful, as the trolls started to fight among each other.

  Riez cheered them on before turning her attention to Money Gobz and smiled.

  "Me wins. Bye bye!" She said with a mischievous grin.

  The goblin seemed completely stunned by this turn of events, though it didn't get to say anything before Riez had moved into close range and with a firm grasp on those fine clothes, she threw the goblin squarely into the brawl between the two trolls.

  The screams of pain lasted for less than a minute.

  Having established herself as the actual leader of the new ork camp, she felt like her entire was rolled out over the camp as her Loyalty Domain took control. It was like getting to stretch her legs after a long drive or letting out a breath she had been holding. She finally found herself in charge of an area, and her powers went to work.

  The power of her Invincible Iron General instantly took effect, as the entire camp seemed to swell with new muscles and vigor.

  Invincible Iron General

  Type: Constant

  Energy usage: N/A

  Full effect: All NPCs serving under you double their health and mana, gain a hit bonus equal to your Rank, and will never flee in fear. Your will is automatically known by all your lieutenants, and you always know the location, condition, and general activities of all units that accept your command.

  Not only that, but the Trolls stopped fighting, and without missing a heartbeat, they started to gather up the wealth in the middle of the camp once more. Four other orks started giving directions, as they all knew what their new leader wished, without Riez having to give explicit instructions.

  Riez smiled and saw that one of her stats had increased.

  Pink Gob cursed a little under her breath as she realized that she hadn't asked Jasper about that special kind of stats. She had no idea what Wealth was or how she could use it, but she expected it had something to do with the treasure she had just taken into custody.

  With the camp on the move, Riez decided that it was getting late, and without a second thought, she headed towards one of the tents she knew was used to store food and decided to make it her tent for the night. No matter how much her powers told her that was the customary way of doing things, she wouldn't be sleeping out in the open.

  Riez slept soundly through the night, dreaming of all the amazing pranks that she would be pulling with her new crew of orkish pranksters.
