I rolled a 3, so she's able to fight it for now. Briefly, she can stop and observe--from this distance, she can see the man more clearly, but he isn't recognizable to her beyond the deep knowledge that he's her target.]

[The man looks up, then, and spots Shouxue--his eyes widen, and even in the dim light of the cavern, she can see his face go pale. He recognizes her: She has caused this man pain before, she knows, and recently. If she concentrates, she can recall the snapping of bones under her steady, ruthless hands, the pressure of skin splitting beneath her blade, the weight of a gun in her hand. If she tries even harder, she might even be able to recall the sound of his pained cries, though they blur with other voices.
Regardless of whether she dwells on this or not, the man scrambles up, approaching her cautiously.]
You--you can see the gold isn't here, so you can let me go, right?
