[ The flood of magic returning Hawke had braced herself for... doesn't come, which strikes her as bizarre, but it doesn't stop her from reacting the very second the dampener's light goes out. She immediately strikes out to shove the first soldier away, then pulls her magic up around not only herself, but all of them, every last armed man and woman surrounding her. One gesture to raise them up, jerking them off their feet and throwing them into the air, a second to slam them back into the ground with so much more violence, so much more power, than she had meant to.
Bones snap, ribcages crush, but the air knocked out of them on impact contains all the screaming to nothing more than gurgles, coughs, and pained gasping.
Anyone else might find it disturbing, but not Hawke. She's killed before, this is no different than all those other times.
When they go down, she takes off, leaping any in the way on her path over to Jesse, who she'll grab to hoist to his feet if he needs to help. After that, she'll jerk her head in a direction and change her route for the back exit of where they are. At this point, she has nothing to say and that's for the best. The less noise made, the better.
