Missed! The woman was fortunate, she had planned to take her arm. Perhaps that would still be necessary. Annabelle rolled and charged her, swinging for her head. Rolling with the hit reduced the impact from the barbell, and good, too. A solid hit from that would break her skull. She rolled and got back up, only to be rushed by the woman. She got her hands up behind the barbell before being run into the wall, keeping her neck from being crushed.

Battling with Annabelle over the barbell, she managed to choke out a few words, "I pity you. You find it so easy to kill."

Vitalion to the rescue and she was able to throw the barbell down. This woman needed to sleep this temper off. With one arm locked, Annabelle was wide open. She threw three quick strikes. One strong hit to the solar plexus, to press the air from her lungs, one quick, controlled strike to the throat to close her windpipe, and a last strike to the forehead, to finish the deal and knock her out.

Once the woman was out, she'd be sure to open her windpipe back up promptly. She didn't realize she was bleeding from where the barbell hit her, though the wear from the fight was coming through as the fury left her body. "Thank you, Vitalion." Was he still calling her 'beastkin'? "Ah, did I not introduce myself? How rude of me." Her voice faltered and she coughed once, rubbing her neck. Jeez. "Lumina Lusteria, the Lustrous. Now, let's get this woman wrapped up and hauled in. Oh, and I need to find my tools..." She'd feel them out. They should still have some energy stored within. The hilt would be harder to find, but- oh, the shape was still held. The blade of the curved broadsword was lodged into a piece of equipment. Just as she approached it, the blade dissolved and she picked up the hilt. And there's the crystal shield core, there. She'd approach Annabelle, then, and conjure a whip she'd use to wrap the woman up until they got some rope or something.
