Yash frowned as the Gator suddenly switched into rampage mode, its mouth lunged forward aiming to consume him. "[color=black]Vanish[/color]!" he shouted quickly disappearing from view briefly as the attack passed through where he was before reappearing. Then he heard a loud [i]crack[/i] and saw Aegis go flying through the air. A quick look at the party section and he saw Aegis's HP drop down to a mere 25% HP. [i]Holy...[/i] if that gator could could 75% of Aegis's HP and Aegis was building full tank and was six levels higher than him... Basically if the gator got one hit on him he would die. Of course there was no way he would let it hit him. That in mind he un-equppied his shield as clearly it wouldn't matter if he got hit and it would only slow him down. His choice of words let him excel against enemies like this that hit slow and hard. Well it was time for another trick, he quickly took out his crossbow and fired off a single bolt at one the gator's eyes, whispering the word, "[color=crimson]Pain[/color]", the bolt glowed a malicious crimson color as it plunged into the creature. That should be good enough to grab aggro, his pain spell didn't do much damage but it was one heck of a threat generator. He backed away gaining some distance and yelled, "Over here ugly!" just in case it couldn't figure out who had hit him.
