Mara backhanded and bludgeoned

She came up in a rush, arm pumping and slashing, tearing the snake head apart, and then she bore on, right up to the large warrior.
His backhand got inside her movement, though, the other, hard end of his weapon smacking her across the shoulder and knocking her to the side. She rolled with it, accepting the blow, and spun down low, swiping across at his knees.
