Iṃgor used his chance, propelling himself towards Joshua with a mix of sprinting and jumping, while his arms unfolded like praying mantis' arms. Iṃgor had made sure his legs were using all their force by being at an angle of 30° between him and the ground, an angle which would cause him to fall on his face within some seconds despite propelling himself that fast reflexively.
The time it'd take him to reach and grab his target was shorter though, otherwise this would be a stupid move.
His familiar also attempted to tackle the bagman, if Iṃgor's attempt failed the tackle would throw Joshua off balance and slow him down, especially since he was blinded by the flare spell.
