The woman was just barely managing to dodge Hellskeeper's attacks, fully aware of her weakened state. However, she didn't quite catch sight of Tzadi's Falchion, which run right through her with minimal resistance. The woman looked down at the sword's hilt, more shocked at the sight of the blade disappearing into her chest... right before Buck's blow slammed into her, tearing her from the blade and down onto the floor in a spectacular tumble.
Richie himself had only just gotten back onto his feet by the time she was down, and found himself along with Isabella and Shadowcrash staring at the fallen woman.
"What have I..." Isabella asked, ready to burst into tears.
It was at that moment that the woman began to move again, albeit very slowly, as if just barely clinging on to conciousness. Richie acted immediately, picking up his rapier and storming over to her. Just as she was able to lift her head, Richie brought the blade close to her neck.
"Richie, wait!" Shadowcrash barked as she and Isabella rushed over. The woman looked at the Durham lad before looking down again.
"I have failed..." the woman muttered as she looked down at the small puddles of obsidian blood forming around her. "...as both a guardian and as a mother. You have won... just... hurry up and kill me already."
Richie glared at the woman for a moment, before lowering his sword.
"Nah." he then piped up as he turned away to pick up his ninja blade. "I'm not gonna do that."
"But..."
"But nowt." Richie stopped for a second to face her again. "If you want, you can help me get my apartment back to where it used to be, but if not, no big deal. -WE- are headin' home, I'm taking all of my stuff back, and we bringing Isabella with us. She can do as she pleases with her life when she gets there, and you know what? You'd better not pull off the same stunt again to get her back, alright?" Richie then turned away heading back to the crack in the wall. "Let's get the hell out of..."
"WAIT!!" The woman yelled, still struggling to close up the wounds inflicted upon her. "I... I have nothing else to live for without Isabella to take care of! What am I to do?"
Richie stopped himself once more, pinching the bridge of his nose. And then sighed.
"Uh, you lot can head back to the apartment if you want," Richie said, turning and making his way back to the guardian. "I'll catch up with you and open a way back in a bit."

"you sure you want to do this mercy trip Richie ..i dont think we would have faired so well ?"
the cold iron axe remained ready in Hellskeepers hands and her flames burned blood red as she stood watching the pale woman ...waiting for Richie's reply ...
"Aye, I'll be fine." Richie replied as he approached the woman once more, tossing his swords to one side.
Shadowcrash watched him stroll past for a moment before making her way to the exit herself.
"I think he knows what he's doing," the ghost added as she stepped past Hellskeeper. "C'mon, let's head back."
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Tzadi vanishes, reappearing at the appeartment mere nano-secounds later

Buck looked down at the woman for a few moments, then followed Shadowcrash, shaking his head.

Hellskeeper sent the axe back to where ever it came from and let her flames die away , gave ** shrug , and joined the others returning to the site of the stranded appartment .
"so any hope of a coffee some time soon ,i am parched"
"How does a beer sound?" Shadowcrash smiled slightly as she approached the crack. "We get back to our world and pop over to Pocket D?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"freck no i hate the Pok ..i worked there for a few weeks , a total dive .." shot from Hellskeepers mouth , "i know a good beer house in Kings ...but they will not let a Troll in.."
Hellskeeper flicked a magic switch and was back in her street cloths ...
"Well there is a decent bar in Atlas where i can get a staff discount if you want .."
"They got anything for a ghost?" Selina giggled as she crept through the crack in the wall back to the outside of the fortress. Isabella herself followed suit, scrambling as best she could to get through the crack, eventually tumbling out the other side rather unceremoniously.
"...Ouch..."
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Buck pushed his way into the crack, his huge frame barely fitting through the narrow gap. Eventually, he managed to squeeze through, but not before the gap had gained several more inches of clearance.

"Hmmm " Hellskeeper pondered .." as long as the ghost has cash i dont see any problem " she planted her hands deep into her jacket pockets , adopted the hunched striding walk of the young and headed for the appartment ..." mind you they dont like people dancing on the tables so you will have to behave .."
"Hey hey hey," the ghost laughed as she followed Hellskeeper to the apartment, Isabella trying to keep up as fast as her tiny legs could manage. "I -don't- dance anyhoo!"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Hellskeeper slide her left hand fromher pocket , "Gum ?" she asked everyone as she offered round a pack of sugar free double mint ...
" dont dance ! what are you dead boring or some it "
Buck smiled. "Don't mind if I do.." he took a stick and popped it into his mouth. "I do believe I heard some conservation about a bar. Any paticular establishment in mind?"

" well i was thinking Zoots in Atlas , do you know it ?
they do good food too , i am starving after all that action ..." Hellskeeper popped a stick of gum ...
As the gang slowly approached the apartment, Shadowcrash noticed something. Richie and the Guardian were already there, the Durham lad helping her to her feet before spotting the ghost in the distance. After seeing his gesture to hurry up, Shadowcrash rolled her eyes, laughing quietly to herself as she charged onward.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Buck roared, locking his fists together and bringing them above his head, ready to deliver the knock-out blow.
