Reinhilde watched as they scattered once more at the whistling of her mortar. The second she’ll made contact with the ground, leaving her one mortar still loaded, and still zero casualties. Disappointing, yes, but she couldn’t fire off the third just yet. She had plans for that one...

Her primary target hid behind a tree after abandoning the crate of (she assumed) supplies. Still too far away, she couldn’t make out if he was bleeding out or not, but he wasn’t moving around and that was enough for her, at least for the moment. Better to focus on the active threats. 

And there was indeed an active threat. One of the others was running toward her position in the fort. Reinhilde would’ve considered such a tactic suicide, after all it’s exactly what she planned for, but then something happened that made the Austrian woman falter and hesitate for a moment. A figure appeared near the person charging in, another silhouette that sprung from nothingness. There was only one explanation for this. 

“<A stand user...>” she mumbled to herself in German. That carried the possibility that the others could be stand users too and if that was the case, she might’ve bitten off more than she could chew. The Nazis had sent stand users after her before and she killed each one, but that was one at a time. No, there was no thinking that way. The first to lose resolve in a battle was the dead one. She lifted her gun and, using Shoot to Thrill, gauged a shot now that this person (woman she could tell now) was closer. 

The woman’s stand blew out some manner of smokescreen. Ha. It was useless. Shoot to Thrill was already in x-ray mode and automatically compensated, adjusting for the new barrier. In but a moment the cloud may as well have been invisible, and Reinhilde calculated there was in fact a shot she could take. 3 degrees left, 4.2 degrees up. Wait for the wind to give pause and... [b]BANG![/b]

The shot rang out, racing through the trees until it struck one from the side in a glancing blow. This bounced the bullet in a ricochet, readjusting it’s trajectory mid flight. In effect, Reinhilde had essentially shot around the solid obstacles blocking sight between her and her quarry, and the bullet was heading for the woman’s shoulder where it would strike a major artery...
