Gabrielle, let it be said, preferred not to have to fight if at all possible; she tried to live up to her pacifist leanings as much as she could.

It was just that she, you know, managed to constantly find herself in situations where fighting was inevitable. Like this one; she'd only wandered out to check the board and see if there was anything she could do to help today and found herself surrounded.

There was something missing without Xena's battle cries echoing over the fray, but she waded in anyway with a few hearty yells of her own as she delivered solid blows to solar plexuses, swept Auditors' feet out from under them, and occasionally got herself into undignified tug-of-war matches when one of them succeeded in grabbing at the end of her staff.

She did get a chance to practice that fun flipping-herself-over-their-backs move she'd been working on to free herself from those predicaments, though.

For all that she preferred not to fight she was actually pretty good at it -- which might be a surprise to anyone who'd never seen her like this. Unless you thought she got those killer abs from shelving books.
