*Smash* Ice broke way under Marian's mace (note to self Marian's Mace, good name for a tavern potentially catering to women). The frozen body trapped within fell to the flood with a wet thud. Marian continued along the wall freeing the dead women from their frozen display cases, it had the desired effect the door behind her blew open with a shatter of wood and ice.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" The councilman roared his voice almost too loud to understand clearly. Marian was waiting by the door when it blew open, her mace swing connected what she thought would be his head, but she misjudged his height and hit him in the shoulder. The councilman collapsed all the same (you try and get hit in the shoulder with a big mace and not fall over, well actually don't, because that could kill you), Marian tried to follow up his collapse with a shotgun blast, but the councilman put up a wall of ice between her and him and the shot impacted on it, but did not break it. She was about to swing her mace again when an ice spear impaled her right shoulder and pinned her to a wall. The councilman got to his feet, his right arm hung useless at his side.
"You will be the start of my new collection!" His hand had formed into some kind of ice blade. Marian acted fast first breaking the end of the spear off, and then pulling with all her strength to get it out of herself. The weapon in hand she impaled it into the councilmans eye. The iceblade instantly melted, as did the remaining ice in the room (I've heard of this phenomenon, something about magical things not lasting past the creators life, as a fire user its not something I run into, haven't set any ever burning flames, well that I'm aware of). Marian unloaded another two barrels of shotgun shells into him, just to make sure. She emerged from his viewing room with her right arm in pain, about ten shells of ammunition left, and bleeding from where the ice spear had impaled her. Greeting her was the rest of Councilmans guard, about ten men. All ready to kill her.
Marian grinned reloaded the shotgun and said "Bring it!"
