One danger now, as Eldarin anticipated the statue now decided to strike with its only remaining tool. Figuring that he couldn't match it in a head-on collision he slithered to the side a moment before the statue reached him and body slammed the statue from the side, protecting himself from the impact with his own shield. Given the statue was knocked down, or even off balance, Eldarin would swipe with his sword at the statue's neck in an attempt to remove that next. In order to more it more effective, as cutting through the smaller wrist had been difficult, he would send flames racing down his blade to help the blade cleave through the statue.
