…Yeah, bullshit this lady was Intelligence Office. Not Strossvald’s at least. You’d already made up your mind to subdue the woman, maybe make <span class="mu-i">her</span> talk, but you did devote a bit of speculation towards how she might be of help to you…mostly while a delay came out of your mouth and you eyed up her stance. She stood like she was ready for the unexpected, but her hands were hooked firmly in her pockets, unready for a snap reaction.
“Yeah, I’ve heard,” you said lazily, “The people following me around, right? I got a tail for myself already. They’re hanging around.”
An obvious lie, but in the Triumph District’s bustling mazes it would have been impossible to be certain. All you were looking for was just a second, just a moment where her guard would be down, to act. She was a bit taller, but she was a <span class="mu-i">woman</span>, and <span class="mu-i">Keilerkampfen</span> was what you had been taught in order to defend yourself against people twice her size. The technique of placing oneself in the best tactical position to use all their strength against an opponent’s weakest vulnerability- like a man would have to do to fight a blonde-faced bear, trying to be sporting was no option in a real dust-up.
“Really,” the woman said to herself, seeming skeptical, but she glanced away from you, and that was the opportunity you’d have to take. Much longer than a few moments, and it might not be one on one anymore… and with how battered you felt, being outnumbered against men that wasn’t a fight you were confident of taking.
>Draw derringers. Trying to fight with a gun pointed at you was a battle already lost, and if not, her loss. (Requires Quickdraw Rolls)
>Bare Steel. You have a knife, and the one thing you needed over a person taller was reach. (Stab or Cut, and Where?)
>You don’t need any weapons. No need to escalate further. A good boot in the nose would open her up. (Simple and Easy, not Escalatory)
>Try to take her down in one, unarmed. Flying Armbar into Dislocation, Done. (Risky- but Decisive)
>Other? (Anya is extremely experienced in close combat and grappling techniques- but her left arm doesn’t have much strength or toughness in it right now)
