Finally some sort of impact against the monster. Taking advantage of the beast recoiling from both his and Vane's blows he quickly retreated and considered how to continue the fight. Obviously it was incredibly well armoured, lightning had proved effective when combined with striking at a weak point, though unfortunately that was more difficult to do now that the beast had managed to tighten its guard. Standing next to Vane; Eldarin decided it would be best to let it attack and leave itself vulnerable again, Vane and him together should be able to hold off its attacks until its guard loosened again. [b]"Hold fast until it's vulnerable, then I'll quickly strike again allowing to follow up."[/b] Eldarin said softly and quickly. He didn't mention Vane's freezing up, all that mattered was that he was willing to fight now.
