EDIT - that's an 8 damage hit to the left arm, and a 13 damage hit to the right! Time to defend!

It is indeed the first life Bella has taken - despite it being one belonging to a man trying to kill her best friend. She will have to consider such things later - for now, her adrenaline is up - and only your call to attend Cestié alerts her to how badly the man is wounded. Accordingly, your best friend, and your oldest friend draw back a step from the combat - Bella wards Cestié with her staff, fearful an attack will come his way; the old man sets down his weapons and takes up the crossbow again, panting as he reaches for a reload from the small hip quiver he wears.

But now you have the Stormvermin's attention - and as you take it, the momentary sisterhood of humanity dissolves and the girl who had come to kill and rob you backs off and prepares to flee with her companions. Now it's just you and the rat, trading blows. And he's strong - terribly so. Much stronger than the gutter runners whose blows you were catching on a borrowed shield in the tower in Verezzo. As strong and skilled and deadly as any foe you've fought that wasn't the troll, and more armored and crazy than any you recall.
