Marita had assumed that trouble would find its way to their location sooner rather than later, but she didn't expect this amount to literally force its way in. She had really wanted to avoid coming into conflict with the lawmen of this township, but Cavendish seemed intent on forcing it, not to mention the chances being exceptionally high that he was in league with the wererat conspiracy overrunning everything. Whether he was there for them or for Mallard didn't really matter at that point, she wasn't having it either way.

Victoria was quicker on the draw, performing some sort of mental attack on Cavendish, which forced him back outside of the shop. Marita walked out after him while she reached over to her beltline. While she had disarmed herself of her main weapon and shield, she hadn't completely left herself defenseless. The cleric produced a dagger, long and slender with a black handle and a wickedly sharp edge. Even if it wasn't a reliable way to harm those with the curse, she doubted that they would be able to shrug off a dagger to the throat or eye.

When she stepped outside and she Kathryn on the ground bloodied and surrounded by guards with spears, her sneer turned into a snarl as flames lit behind her eyes. Cavendish and his troop had been swaggering around town, self assured in their authority to do as they pleased. She had given them the benefit of the doubt up to this point, but no more. She was going to show them what it truly meant to have the Law on one's side.

Marita's command was backed up with the power of Order itself and demanded those that heard her do as she said. The cleric had used her Voice of Law several times before now in specific ways to cast her spells, but this was its purest expression: the ability to speak with a fraction of authority a deity possessed. Cavendish struggled against the command before dropping his weapon while one of the guards let go of his spear immediately. The other holding a bloodied weapon held firm and laughed at her command, not quite realizing the situation he was in as the only man currently on his side of the battle wielding a weapon. It wasn't an ideal outcome, but now Kathryn would at least have a chance to get to a better position.
