The claw swiped for his face and as fast as he thought he backed away the slash came upon his face, forever marking it with a claw mark and a dead eye. The man backed away, dragging on the floor while yelling in pain but luckily the lion had lost interest in him as it decided to turn for another soon-to-be-victim. The bearded man was in agonizing pain and bleeding from both attacks that the beast had inflicted upon him.

As the beast turned away from him he saw the other 2 people lunging for the animal. While the monster was focused on them, he would once again go and attack it from behind, this time focusing on the tail. The tail being an extension of the Chimera's spine, it would surely lose its balance once separated. Maybe even make its attacks miss.

With this plan in mind he cautiously circled around the beast, ready to attack with his trusted sharp rock that had never left his hand since the confrontation began. He would put all his focus on this attack, not letting his destroyed eye make him miss.
