Dorje dodged the giant creature's swipe at it's own arm, which he was climbing, and got on it's back, trying to find some kind of vital point in the thick scales of it. Finding none, he tried to dismount just as the wizard threw a cloud of freezing snow at it as he jumped forward off of it's massive shoulder, into the improvized smokescreen as it reared up. Dorje felt the moving of air around him in place of his sight, and had just enough time to notice the massive clawed hand rushing toward him before it hit. He had just enough time to cushion the blow with the half bo staff he had in his left hand, but it still felt like it crushed his bones, sending him down at an angle through the roof of a smoldering house; as he landed he heard something break, and pain exploded from his leg. He struggled to calm his breathing, and eventually it returned to an even pace despite the pain. The monster, however, was still looking at him; and he had a sinking feeling he wasn't long for this world.
