The darkmantle was slippery, creepily so as it practically folded out of the way of your staff, though in doing so it detached from you and gave you an opportunity to punch it. It was an uncanny feeling as for a creature that seemed to be moving as if the very air itself was water, it was very firm and solid from what you could tell from your punch and when it had bitten into your arm. Meanwhile Pylia took advantage of Shortfang's cunning tactics and smashed the tip of the creature with her club, careful not to inadvertently striking Shortfang in the process.

The blasted creatures continued to attack, but without the element of surprise they weren't quite as effective in a straight up fight. The first darkmantle continued to try and crush Shortfang but now he was better at actively resisting it's pressure while the Darkmantle that you're fighting was trying to get close while also avoiding your staff, making it impossible for it to close the distance on you like it did before. For a short few seconds, you can see that despite this monster's magical ability to fly, it wasn't a very deft flyer. Suddenly Shortfang managed to grab his scimitar and slice into the darkmantle trying to constrict him. It wasn't a killing blow, but it was doing some damage now.
