After his attack the beast quickly turned back and luckily for the bearded man it targeted the dark skinned man next to him. His pain up until now had been nulled by the anger from his wounds, the lost of his eye and seeing the beast still raring to go with no visible signs of just dropping dead. The woman who threw the rock clearly was of no use anymore. She threw, propably, her only weapon which left her useless and defenseless. That fact just added more responsibility on the bearded man. He wasn't only fighting for himself, he was also fighting for the entire party.

As the lion lay on his belly he started moving, circling the lion from the side one step at a time while never breaking eye contact with the beast. He circled the monster from the opposite side the clean shaven man took, effectively surrounding the beast from all sides. He planned to aim for the side of the beast, plunge the rock with all his might in the beast's belly and drag it in an attempt to spill its insides. Suddenly the dark skinned man got up with a roar and lunged to meet the beast face on. This was his cue as the bearded man also rushed the beast from the side.
