Morena could see the scene from the distance.  The leader with a dagger to Brin's throat, and Diona nearby.  She was still a few seconds from being in range to join in, but would reach them quickly.<br/><br/>The leader hesitated, the dagger wavering with confusion at Brin's words.  He seemed to be trying to put two and two together, and failing miserably.  Finally he let the dagger drop and took a step back, then seemed to regain some strength.  He slammed the dagger up into Diona's back and left it there as he turned and ran, taking an angle that would avoid both Brin and Diona.<br/><br/>OOC: Brin takes 4 damage.
