As Emlyn's own battle raged, Auriel stepped forward to fight half of the remaining Itzamna. He made a wide stance and stood tall and proud, exaggerating his frame to grab the attention of the two that hadn't already gone after Emlyn. He'd have to hold their attention while Emlyn handled the one he hadn't killed outright. The pair that hunted him, apparently having learned from their allies' failures, both attacked at once, sharp teeth and claws raking at him. Leaping back while slashing his sword, Auriel managed to avoid the first dual attack. The two Itzamna started circling around him in opposite directions, trying to trap them between them. If they did, he could always Blink away before an attack landed, but that was leaving too much up to chance. 

Rapidly moving towards one of his attackers, Auriel blocked the resultant attack with his shield, stabbing his sword at the Grimm, only for no attack to land. Great, they knew how to feint, and not recognizing a feint was pretty embarrassing for a Beacon student. The Itzamna had copied him, leaping back, only it decided to follow that up with a forward leap, one massive claw aimed to tear at him. Desperately jumping to the side, Auriel managed a roll, quickly recovering from his failure. His breath came slowly and heavily, but he still had a lot of fight in him. 

There weren't many times that Auriel wished he'd listened to his weapons master and tried to put some ranged component into his weapon, but now was one of those times. Even a few bullets or a small grenade would be of immense help. Still, his Semblance could fill that gap when it was absolutely needed. Blinking towards the Itzamna he'd moved away from before, Auriel took a sweeping swipe at the Grimm. His sword managed to make contact, but the damage was superficial: he hadn't even cut through its skin. Not a drop of blood was in sight, an unpleasant fact for Auriel. He grunted, stepping forward and slashing again, only for this attack to have the same effect. Stepping quickly to the side and turning to the other enemy, Auriel paused when he noticed that it had barely moved. 

That was disturbing, but when both charged him again, Auriel understood what had happened a bit. They weren't taking any chances again. In that case, Auriel would need backup as well. Slowly moving to Emlyn, he spoke to his partner. "Hey, I see that you're...doing your own thing, but I'm in a bind with these two on me at once. Can you keep one's attention while I get the other? Hell, kill it if you want, just don't let them swarm me."
