Indignation welled up in Alea as Coren pulled her aside. As if she needed his help... She quickly took stock of the situation before making her next move: Banir was swinging a chair wildly, Coren was cowering on the floor besides her, the man whose face she'd hit was holding his own against the largely man she'd ever seen, and the rest of the tavern was quickly dissolving into chaos.
At the sound of Coren's voice, she suddenly remembered why she hated him so much. Baring her teeth in a soundless snarl, she tackled him to the ground by driving her shoulder into his chest. She was about to drive the heel of her palm into his face, but another Vantha had taken notice and pulled her off of Coren. She struggled to free herself, but the other man had a surprisingly good grip on her forearm. She tried stomping on the man's feet, and when that didn't work, she grabbed a mostly empty mug from a nearby table and smashed it into the side of the man's head, not managing to break the mug, but loosening the man's grip enough that she could get free.
Her breathing was a bit heavier than usual by this point, but she was starting to enjoy herself. She took a moment to catch her breath and observe the status of what had evolved into a proper tavern brawl, like the ones she had only heard about in tales and legends. She scanned the room, looking to see who needed the most help, or, more accurately, who needed to be attacked the most.
