Predictable. Horizontal swing as was easiest to preform. Eldarin rolled to the side with the swing and as he was on his back and the tree passed over him Eldarin let out a whoosh of breath, repeating his display from earlier. Fire rolled out from the torch, liberally splashing over the tree and some of it reaching the beast's muzzle. In another moment Eldarin was on his feet and running towards the beast, sword lashing out at the monster's eye, if he could blind the creature while it was surprised by the sudden flaming state of its weapon then this fight would be that much easier. He really hoped this wasn't tinder, he'd hate to disfigure someone's pet.
