[[ OOC: Oooh, I've been setting this up the whole thread, and I'm so happy to get here! :D I hope it entertains you, too! ]]
Remember that canvas bag that Chris has been wearing this whole time? Remember how they slipped their hand into that bag at least once before?
Well, they do it again now -- and withdraw their loaded revolver. With the Tristitia focused on Ellen's attack, it doesn't even notice when Chris raises the weapon to her neck and fires at point-blank range.
That spreading ice through its physical form makes the whole thing pretty fragile, and the concussive force of the bullet shatters the head from the body. Possibly also breaks the head off of Ellen's pickaxe.
The Tristitia's headless body collapses to the snow like a heap of rags. And Chris reaches out their free hand to grab Ellen by the arm.
"Run, before she has a chance to reform!"
(Chris did say they'd do their best. And they're a pretty good shot with their gun.)
