The bandits, used to slaughtering helpless travellers, aren't ready for the fury they're enduring, and as Gustav joins the fray, attacking from behind, they begin to get picked off quickly. As Trista uses aard, she feels the power of the blast leave her body, recoil shooting up her arm, and the woman goes flying backwards, crashing against a shelf stacked with drinks, sending many of them down to shatter against the stone floor. The woman remains conscious, however, and retains her grip on the butcher's knife. "Fucking mutant!" She spits venomously. "You'll regret betraying me!" With an enraged cry, she rushes at Trista, swinging the broad blade towards the witcher's face.
