[Spear? Sensible. It gave her reach, even with the chain. Samantha watched her coming at her with the thing brandished, eyes focused on the motion before she twisted at the last possible moment. There wasn't any battle cry, just a clenching of her teeth and a determined look in her eyes.
When she whipped, her hand spun the chain in a sudden and fast arc, upping the speed of its motion and twisting with axe beard up to deflect the point. Her goal was to coil the chain around the edge of the barb and get it under her control.
When she moved, there was something visceral about it. She didn't move like a martial artist. She was skilled, but it was more feral and undisciplined. Her skills were honed from numerous battles, but almost all in a very aggressive and improvised method. She knew her weapons, but she didn't use them with kata or anything of the like. It was as unpredictable at times as it was unfocused, especially as she seemed to be less concerned than someone should have about taking a blow.]
