[Parry] You roll an 8 (required 10). Partial success.

You quickly turn around, and raise your sword to parry the incoming projectile. Before you realize your mistake, the giant steel boomerang cuts through your sword like paper, breaking off its blade, and passing through your body unhindered.

Tonsoria: "Nice catch!"

The crowd goes wild as Tonsoria catches her weapon on its return.

Announcer: "Fatality! Tonsoria wins the match!"

After letting you recover from the emotional trauma of getting illusiorily cut in half by giant scissors, you and Tonsoria bow to each other, and head back to the waiting area together.

Tonsoria: "Thanks for the workout! By the way, I run a shop in Amblerta. Come say hi sometime; I could do something nice with your mane. Or tail."

The unicorn winks. As you reach the waiting area, you are greeted by the organizer once more, and your illusory shortsword dissipates.

You drop Illusory Shortsword.

Organizer: "Good show, you two! Loser gets to join the crowd in bleachers, free of charge. Better luck next time, TB!"
