Once Darion had made it into the car, Loretta had begun to speed off in hot pursuit of the band of raiders that rode beneath them in the relatively shallow region of the Canyon before her 'partner' could even close the door. Riding along the edge of the canyon close enough to be able to see a ways into it without falling into it, she shifted it into the next gear before flooring it and passing the raiders by a great distance. When it was decided that they were given ample space to make a more offensive move, Loretta hit the brakes hard, whipping them backwards as they came to a stop. She then informed Darion, "<span style="color: purple">You work your magic from up here, I'll go and cause a little confusion down there. Take out as many as I can without hurting our little girl too much and whatnot.</span>"<br/><br/>At that Loretta slid through the window frame of the door and stepped over to an area that had an incline suitable for climbing up and down. It was steep, but manageable. She made her way down enough to the point that her shotgun would be of greater use, and be better for aim. Couldn't have a bit of shot go off and hit something they weren't meant to, after all.<br/><br/>As soon as the riders were within range, Loretta had taken aim and made her first shot.<i>BAM!</i><br/><br/><i>Ch-chk.</i><br/><br/><i>BAM!</i><br/><br/>There went two.<br/><br/><i>Ch-chk.</i><br/><br/><i>BAM!</i><br/><br/>The third one's horse was hit this time, though Loretta had aimed for such. The horse fell, throwing the rider forward and bursting him open over a sharp outcropping like a piece of overripe fruit. The next rider tripped over the horse's body and it too fell, though the horse was mostly unharmed. The rider, meanwhile, hit the ground at a painful-looking angle, his neck twisting unnaturally and assuredly having broken a few of his vertebrae and more than likely hi spinal cord. That left just the one that held the woman. Though Loretta could have made a good shot at the raider, using a shotgun was too risky, and the last thing she wanted to do was end up hitting the bounty, and so left the more precise, not to mention important, shot to Darion.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
