Horizon Ridge You walk around this town like it’s holy land,

Since you mentioned retreating I left Raleska's 'attack' pretty vague, so it can be dodged if it makes sense for escape <3

Raleska was bleeding heavily, but she wasn't aware. All of her focus was on getting free, getting back; she fought with panic, and because of that, she was toppled to the ground as suddenly her assailant released her.

She stumbled as if drunken; the force of her momentum had served to topple her -- dust bit at her nose, stung at her eyes, clotted the blood that flowed ominously and freely from her neck -- yet like a drunken bar attendant, Raleska rose with gritty determination for more.

She lunged after Dacio -- oh no you don't, you bastard! -- and it was then that the full force of her extraordinary injury hit her. She cried out in pain and fell back; Raleska might believe herself a seasoned fighter, and in some ways she was, but she had yet to learn the brutal school of enduring extreme pain. She winced and tried to pursue Dacio, but that split second of faltering was all it took for the bastard Dragedan to be far too ahead for her to possibly catch him.

But then he turned, and Raleska saw the second Dragedan mired with her packmates.

Limping after the procession, Raleska skirted past Derg (how gruesome his injury! it was a good thing she was too caught up in giving Dacio what's-for to see it) and lunged towards Vengeance, attempting to deflect or plow into the Dragedans enough that the Rusalkans could regroup and kill these sunnovabitches.
