Stella, the Turtle Poacher (The Nemesis' Lair)

http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/adventureimages/2_2.gif You're fighting Stella, the Turtle Poacher

You quickly duck as Stella grabs a rope and swings down from the balcony at you. She lands in a low crouch, fork and sickle gleaming in the fluorescent warehouse lights.

"It is just impossible to get good lackeys these days," she sneers. "Looks like I'll have to get my hands dirty."

"Your hands are already dirtied with the blood of innocent turtles, murderess!"

"Oh give it a rest, already! Your weird obsession with turtles is going to be the death of you. Literally, because I'm going to kill you for screwing with my profit margins." She pauses, and cocks her head to one side. "...'Murderess'? Seriously?"

"You prefer something else? I'm thinking of a word that starts with "B" and rhymes with 'evil murdering whore'" you growl.

"Oh, that's funny. I'll have them carve that on your tombstone for you." Light streaks from her weapons as she spins and leaps at you.

She gets the jump on you.

hit:

Stella feints to the left, then stabs you with her fork on the right. And then she stabs you again, but on the left this time.

Stella does a series of handsprings toward you, ending with her sitting on your shoulders with her thighs clamped around your neck. That's pretty hot, but then she starts stabbing you in the eyeballs, which is less appealing.

Stella drops to the ground and spins, slashing at your hamstrings with her sickle. "Slashed Hamstrings" is my second-favorite punk band.

after defeat:

You win the fight!

"Argh!" Stella tumbles away from you and stands panting, holding her arm. "All right mac, you are seriously ticking me off now."

"I haven't even started yet!" you say, full of righteous fury. "No more innocent turtles are going to die to make meaningless trinkets to fuel your avarice! You and all of your murdering cronies are going down, this I vow! Soon I will... where are you going?"

Ignoring you, Stella strides off through a nearby door and deeper into the factory complex. How rude!

Before chasing her, you take a moment to poke around for loot. I mean, you're on a mission of vital ecological importance and all, but you're still an adventurer.
