The guard thought he was fast enough to snag her before she could do anything, unfortunately for him, her swing was faster. the pickaxe caught him right on his side but, it was blunt so it didn't pierce him but it was strong and heavy enough to knock him on his side and knock the wind right out of him. Two things passed through Samantha's head at this point, 1. that guard was really not the sharpest tool in the shed.... 2. he was hurt and he might call for the others. And then before she knew what she was doing she brought her own pick up and with a sickening sound, brought it back down on the mantala's head, making it the last mistake he ever made..... once she got over her combat instincts she turned away from the most likely grizzly scene she helped create. Rexen were natural born scrappers so fighting ran through their blood. Samantha however didn't quite like these impulses she much proffered to avoid violence if she could.
