[ Trying to herd them against the wall is a good strategy, but even mindless beasts have instincts; they catch on to the trap and try to scatter. Ciri presses in from the sides and the rear in tighter and tighter formation, darting in between the Shades instead of trying to run farther from them, forcing two of them to nearly crash into each other as they try to chase her.
She's fast, moving like a dancer, spinning around in effortless pirouettes that drive her sword in wide arcs that can slash through more than one monster at a time in close quarters. The deftness with which she avoids the spatters of blood speaks of skill in that particular detail as well, though in the past it's been more out of dislike over getting blood on her clothing when possible, and not mortal danger. Close enough.
While her companion fells the Shades nearest the wall, Ciri takes care of two more trying to peel away in the rear, leaving only another two between them. ]
I'm about to break this tie. Race you! [ she challenges, shooting him a cocky smirk. ]
