The first man, closest to her, sneers as she begins charging her attack, drawing, and raising his weapon to charge her... before the beam lances through, throwing him backward and knocking the mace from his hand. His partner tries to dive out of the way, but still catches the full effect of the blast, rolling with it, but still looking hurt.
