[i]Tanya was a tricky one, and had a level of foresight that would put most tacticians to shame. But there was a miscalculation, one that might have been easily overlooked in the heat of battle. Hot Steppa had a sibling which occupied Zande's other hand, and it wasn't just there for looks. Tanya would be within reach of her knife, but before she could grasp it or channel her magic into the weapon she may suddenly see what appeared to be a guillotine crash down and sever her arm at the elbow, the large blade cracking the tiles beneath. Jancro. It was a sudden potshot that Zande combined with the downwards momentum of his initial swing. Few mortals could keep up with the headhunter in speed when he was jacked-up, but even fewer could match his reflexes. Of course he had no idea that she could kill him in one hit, or that she could fire more razors from the knife. He'd have little idea that a split second could cost him his life. He had merely seen what he believed to be a last ditch effort to try and give him a spiteful stab. As for Hot Steppa, perhaps the wings could prevent it from cleaving through her shoulder blade and into the heart, along with how the sudden throwing of Jancro would have modestly reduced the amount of muscle Zande was able to put into the hit, but with the Wildman's entire weight behind the strike it might still very possibly go through the scapula and sever the subclavian artery, making her bleed out as she fainted. A bullet to the shoulder in the movies was nonlethal. In the real world it was just as deadly as a shot to the carotid.[/i]

(Edit: Just to make it clear, he threw Jancro)
