Estrada gripped her own head, darkness cascading through her once more. "Not gonna lie, not used to losing this much of my own blood anymore." She shrugged... "... I'm tired. I'ma go home." She nodded to herself, her darknesss dispersing.. before doubling down on Harriet, a feeling of.. tired calmth, to describe it best, washing over her.<br/><br/>"Kinda running low on touchy feely stuff to do and I just didn't bring the right equipment to deal with you." She shrugged, smacking Harriet's sword aside with her hammer.. but rather than follow that up with an attack, she backed off, not without grabbing the downed Tasha however, dragging her along towards her horse, chuckling as she hooked one arm into the saddle, gripping it tightly and throwing Tasha over the horses back. "Don't think I didn't notice you there, playing possum. I'm the Sin of Sloth, I can tell when someone else is slouching off. I got no clue how you can resist my power, but I do know that this is -not- my day." She shrugged.<br/><br/>"Hate to kiss and run, but I wont forget my prey. Let's do this whole song and dance again, Harriet, but next time without distractions."<br/><br/>She smirked, her other arm still bloodied as she dropped her hammer to the ground, holding onto her horses saddle with both hands now, pulling herself up. "Until then, feel free to keep the hammer to remember me. Maybe you can use it sometimes..." She chuckled and gave a wink, before slamming her horses reins down.. and with that, the horse rode off.. Still this felt like a victory, with Estrada retreating.<br/><br/>(I think this outcome is preferable to the pc's losing.. or a further extended bloodied fight. Technically, Estrada is using a withdraw action and a move to 'pick up' Tasha, but bear with me here.. easiest way to get rid of the missing player and transform her into an npc/questgoal. *chuckles* This fight was kind of unfairly scaled considering two players dropped in the middle of it, so I tried to ease up, but this kind of works for tension-building as well. ^^)<br/><br/><em><br/>The Weapon Lady Estrada left is a +1 Conductive Warhammer.<br/>The Snake-man carries three presumably magical scrolls, a small metallic symbol depicting a rather spikey crown, a potion that Ashley easily identifies as Cure Moderate Wounds and a pouch containing 120 gold pieces. <br/></em>
