You know what's going to happen here.

Mograine will go to make short work of the assassin. And sword does beat cardboard, let's face it.

As Vanessa and Whitechapel exchange blows, the High Inquisitor sneers. "There goes your cheap trick."

"Fool!" Snaps the leader of the Defias. "My 'cheap trick' is rigged with explosives!"

Mograine roars, but it's drowned out by the shattering explosion of the Cardboard Assassin.

"ENJOY YOUR FIERY DEATH!" Shouts VanCleef, who seems about to laugh maniacally before she falls unconscious.

Whitemane must work quickly. She channels the Light, urging the Scarlet Commander back to life. "Arise, my champion!"

Renault pulls himself to his feet, exchanging a thankful glance to the Inquisitor. "At your side, mil--"

Another explosion.

Mograine rains to the ground in a mess of red giblets. The High Inquisitor stares in shock, barely registering the sharp blade raking across her throat. As she falls to the ground, her vision dimming, she hears Vanessa'svoice--still shaking off the last of the sleep cast upon her--as though from very far away...

"You didn't honestly think I'd only plant ONE set of explosives, did you?"
