Talon's blade tasted flesh, but not vitals; even so, the Nezgarian Royal Assassins had a technique for making even light wounds deadly. As the blade cut through his opponent, Talon initiated a small scale boneblade detonation. With a light "crack" the top couple inches of the blade broke off and remained stuck in the knight's armor and flesh. From his opponent's perspective, it would appear as though the blade had simply snapped against his sturdy armor, but Talon had something far more sinister in mind. 

Talon recognized the knight's kneeling posture from before, the same posture that had been accompanied by an explosion. He had a pretty good idea what was coming. Keeping his claws firmly clamped onto the shield, he pivoted to the right as Daniel turned to the left, placing him not exactly where Daniel wanted him. He would still be closer to the bomb than Daniel, but if Daniel chose to continue facing his opponent, he would now be angled such that his shield would not completely block the blast, nor would Talon's bulky frame block any of the blast from reaching Daniel. Indeed, from this position Talon could launch another attack around the shield, but...

"Click."

As Daniel detonated his bomb, so did Talon detonate the piece of his boneblade that he lodged into his opponent. The bomb exploded on the monolith, causing it to vibrate violently and sending sound waves bouncing about the graveyard in wild dissonance. The concussive force and shock wave of the bomb blasted Talon, peeling away dozens of scales, battering his wings, and leaving a deep gash on his head. At the moment of impact, his grip on the shield wavered, causing the shield to slip from his claws. However, the piece of the boneblade would likely cause substantial damage to his opponent, as it would explode at point blank range with the strength of about 2.5 sticks of dynamite. 

Talon shook his head to make the ringing stop, sending a few drops of blood splattering this way and that. "Anyone ever tell you you're a crazy son of a bitch?"
