Despite the length of its neck, the more aggressive head was unable to maneuver well enough to properly scan underneath its torso for its enemy, a problem that was intensified by its bleeding eye. The blade had cut deeply into the quadruped's front leg, coming to a stop about a third of the way in due to the leg's thickness and durability. Even with her enhanced strength Cal would have difficulty severing the creature's leg in a single blow or even pulling the sword back out from the dense appendage. Strangely enough, there was no immediate reaction drawn from the attack. No squawk of agony, no spurt of acidic blood. The bird head simply continued whipping about, having lost sight of its prey and eager to finish the girl off for once and for all. Thanks to the bird head's stunted vision, Cal was momentarily hidden from sight behind the monster's leg. If she was to closely inspect its cassowary-like limbs she would notice that they had a diameter of a standard vinyl record and the texture of a sturdy oak tree. The legs resembled polished tree trunks; there was no way to make certain the substances of the creature's limbs but they were definitely wood-like. The bird head's brief search bore its fruits when it spotted the foreign object embedded in its front leg. With a curious grunt the leg was lifted, sword and all, and Cal's temporary cover was blown. The bird head screeched indignantly and returned to attempting to spear Cal with its beak, though with much more difficulty than before due to the girl's location. Marcus' shots hit one of the fishmen square in its scaled torso, blowing it off its feet. The extent of the impact from the bullets made it clear that, despite their clumsiness, the fishmen had quite sturdy bodies. The shots had only left the fishman slightly dazed. It flopped around on the ground, struggling to get back on its feet while the beetle man continued berating the pair. The subordinates had done a decent job in the brief minute they had spent unearthing their superior officer. With a triumphant roar, a black fist burst from the rubble. The beetle man would emerge very soon. In the meantime, the fishman that was still on its feet took it upon itself to provide cover fire while its comrades recuperated. The human limbs pat around in the dirt to reposition the torso, before shooting a machine gun-like salvo of razor sharp scales from its body. Its aim was atrocious but the spread and duration of the scale-fire was more than enough to present a threat to Marcus and Lily. One projectile nicked Marcus in the shoulder, a solid cut that immediately started bleeding. If they didn't find cover or stop the assault soon, they would be in major trouble. [hider=OOC Interaction Tags/Notes:] [@Baklava]: Rashes hurting/burning steadily now. It is possible that Cal was still holding on to the sword when the quadruped lifted its leg, swinging from it like a monkey. Up to you to decide if she was. [@Deathmyster] and [@PapiTan]: Nothing engaging you at the moment. [@Chasers115] and [@Kyrisse]: Fishman shooting super sharp scales at you. Find cover or find a way to stop that heavy fire. There's a chance that it'll need to reload soon but are you really going to wait that long to find out? Marcus has a slight cut on his shoulder. Notes: [list] [*] Bright-ass pillar of light from pink team. Temporary blindness if you were looking directly at it. [*] Enemies remaining: [list][*] 1x bigass quadruped (Blinded in one eye, cut hippo snout, still spattering spicy blood all over. Very pissed and attempting to spear Cal with beak. Has a sword stuck in its leg.) [*] 1x beetle man (Immobile, pinned under rubble a fair distance from the truck but almost unearthed.) [*] 2x fishmen (One trying to get up, the other going Rambo with machine gun-like scale-fire. Terrible accuracy though.)[/list] [/list][/hider]
