A damp ringing ran through the low density forest as Eld raised a block the griffon's beak. While he had seen a couple of griffons before this was the first time he faced one up close without anyone backing him up with ranged attacks.
While he believed he could make it alone Eld felt slightly discouraged as one never knew what a griffon would do or act. There were rough guidelines on how to battle beasts of Noble creatures like a griffon it brought no guarantee of success.

The beek bounced of the shield nullified by the shields force, the attack would normally have pushed back a human but in this occassion it merely blocked as intended. There was no opening for a counter which was all Eld hoped for, as an opening would give him the advantage. Another beak attack blocked but this time followed by it's tail. Less succesfull block followed by an absorbed yet staggering tail by the griffon, from tough to grim the situation now fell into the griffons favor. Whatever it had done threw Eld off on his focus...

It was by a mere inch that Eld rolled by his counter beak and got up on his knees again... "Damn you Griffon!" Eld yelled out loud in frustration backing away from the griffon as it fixed its gaze on Eld's green eyes.
