>If the trees are notably far away, just roll with our off-balanced-ness instead. Literally, into a dodge roll where hopefully we can finish in a position not too hard to get up from.

>You keep moving with your momentum, moving rightward as the brute's second strike passes perilously close to your chest. There is no question that you cannot allow her to strike you, not even once. A glancing hit with likely break something, and a solid blow...
>You move about a yard to the right before you catch yourself against a tree and set your balance right, finding your footing. As you do, the brute draws her hands back and turns to face you, advancing a step to keep pressure on you.

>You send a vertical line of knife danmaku at the brute! She moves to your left to avoid them, taking some pressure from you. She is quick, quick enough to get out of the way of many of the blades, but several of them still catch her on the arm, drawing out a hiss of pain.
