Eldarin reflexively leapt back at the appearance of the monster and he let out a gasp of shock. What the hell? Nothing he'd seen so far could hold a candle to this thing. If only- no, the key was defended by the beast and trying to get it and leave was out of the question. If they wanted the key, the only way to move forward, they would have to get rid of this thing. Eldarin spent a few moments desperately searching for a plan. The thing was massive and covered in armor, if he could heat the whole thing he might roast it alive but he didn't have that kind of fire power. Perhaps the knight was something akin to its brain, if they could just kill the knight the whole thing might die. [b]"Vane I'll bait it, try to strike at the knight."[/b] Eldarin said quietly and began slowly walking towards the beast. His body was relaxed, he was light-footed, ready to dodge or block the attack that would surely come. All he had to do was force the beast to leave itself vulnerable enough for Vane's heavy sword to cleave into a weak spot. Failing that... Well, one step at a time.
