Duskfire Glacier stopping time

i like doing dice rolls! in the discord i use the 16 command. i roll once for defense and attack, but since this is the start, keshka rolled a 17! if you roll higher than that for your defense, her attack does not hit. if it's lower, it hits. if you roll a 20, a crit hit for attack!

keshka’s lips curled, not in fear, but in something sharper—something knowing. the ice in her veins did not melt beneath his winter breath; it only settled deeper, fortifying her bones. she had spent too long beneath heavier hands to flinch now.
so she did not.
instead, she surged forward to meet him, claws biting into the frost-bitten earth as she pivoted at the last second, seeking to weave past the brunt of his approach. sharp teeth flashed, aiming for the vulnerable space near his shoulder, a bite meant touch skin.
i do not break.
her breath curled between them like smoke, the ghost of a laugh threading through it. let’s see if you can keep up.
