Malia's eyes lift when the bars open up.  In a display of simpering obsequiousness that shocks even Malia, Mina practically presents herself for cuffing.  No, not practically, literally and wholly.   Malia's stomach sinks at the sight.   Escape plans were racing through her head when she heard the gates open, but all of them involved her erstwhile slave-girl actually putting up a fight rather than presenting her neck.   Still, Malia only has Plan Don't let it Come to This: 'Put up enough of a struggle for one of us to run.  Maybe free the other later?'.<br/><br/><strong>"Damn it-  If you had a lick of sense you'd try to run!"</strong>Malia barks towards Mina just as the guard reaches down for the rogue's arm.   And just like that, the adrenaline's back.  Before she even realizes it, her fist is flying straight for the man's unarmored neck.   The strike lands with a heavy sounding thud and the guard makes a satisfying sounding gag from the rather sharp impact to his windpipe.  Malia had HOPED the man would sink to his knees and start gasping for air, leaving him completely out of the fight but he recovers faster than she gives him credit for.  A LOT faster.  So fast in fact, she barely realizes his hand is going for her wrist until it's already got a vice grip on it.   The ex-concubine's blood runs cold and she quickly finds herself in a losing fight to try and wrestle the man down.  The next half a minute goes by in a blur.   Desperate attempts to wrest free of his grasp are made.   Biting attempts arise when both her wrists are finally grabbed.  There's several enthusiastic attempts to knee him in the junk, all of which serve to bruise her knee on his armor.  The struggle is desperate and extended but it ends with a rather hard slam into the cell floor and a vengeful boot on her cheek that pins her head to the floor while her arms are twisted and cuffed behind her back.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">You have carte blanche to railroad me for the story, Ixy.<br/>Attack: 14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=109785) (+ 1 Dex) = 15 <br/>Damage (Unarmed): 1 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=109787), -1 (-1 Str), +4 (Sneak Attack) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=109786) = 4 Non-lethal Damage <br/></div></div>
