Malphas gazed at the towering behemoth with a bit of worry. Was this the thing that made the noise earlier? Whatever it was, it was huge. Too big for the poison to take proper effect, Malphas surmised. An arrow or two possibly wouldn't work, either. He watched the creature's movements carefully, judging its speed and the possible weight of its footfalls. The wise thing to do would be to run while he was still undetected, cutting his losses as well as his connection with the cult of the Illuminator.

Of course, Malphas was no wise man.

Malphas sheathed his dagger as he searched the ground for a real nice rock. Procuring one, he threw it at a tree far enough to throw the beast off his direction. Afterward, he would quickly sneak off behind the nearest tree or bush large enough to hide his slender form. Should this tactic prove to work, Malphas would continue to do this on his way to the Illuminator's temple. If this failed, Malphas would instead beeline towards the temple instead.
