[The last hours of daylight were consumed on the harbor, fighting when she could and hiding when it was appropriate. She's only so good when the sun's up, though she's tried to help.
Come nightfall, though, Alex actually breaches the castle herself.
Those who might have seen her a few hours ago? They'll notice the different. Her skin is deathly pale now, and her posture is far more catlike. She moves with unnatural grace, almost completely silent. Nearly every arrow she fires hits its mark. Her vision and hearing are sharpened greatly, allowing the better focus.
Throne rooms, dungeons... None of those matter. Just eliminating all of the undead she sees.
And she is ruthless. She fires arrows, usually piercing the heart. Those, she leaves. When the arrows are finished, her sword comes out, and there's a lack of hesitation as she stabs and slashes. And beheads.
But even with the near-vampire abilities... She can't take them all at once. The injuries on her -- even as they knit up but more appear before they're done -- are proof of that.]
