> Can we see both guards?
> If so, how close are they?
> How free are our arms?
> Grit through the pain to hoist ourselves up into the air a couple of inches.
>You can see one soldier in front of you. You think the other is behind you, holding you up under your arms. Both are within arm's reach.
>Your arms are not restrained at the moment, but you imagine the soldier behind you could restrain them quickly if he wanted to.
>You grit through the pain, and try to let yourself float. It's...difficult, and leaves you feeling somehow more numb and more hurt at the same time, but you feel yourself slip from the guard's grasp, and not so much hover as dangle in the air. The soldier in front of you gives a noise that's something between a gasp and a grunt. "So you're the demon," he says.
