Pretty straightforward – Yael in front with the hammer, Barak on the ground, blood pooling out, and a number of shocked soldiers prodding him to see if he was still alive. I am happy with the variance of character design I got here.
Deborah is on screen right, beaming at Yael. She’ll likely get her own entry one day (tons of people have been asking for one).
