The impact of his blade hitting the pitiable creature sent a subtle shockwave from the greatsword's handle to Axol's arms, a much longed-for itch that now demanded more scratching. He watched as it flew, spinning in the air before hitting some barricades. A satisfied smile was plastered on his usually hardened face. Though to his surprise, the gross elk lives, writhing from pain, yes, but still moving unnaturally. The blackness obscuring its body and its ungodly noises aside, Axol finds himself scrunching his nose in annoyance and confusion. [color=0072bc]"What the hell is that thing, even?"[/color] He growls, ready to throw another attack as he marched past Ironbelle.

In the corner of his eye, he saw Andrea, tempting him to turn and witness something he can only describe as profound. Dead men raised from the ground, attacking the agitated dog (bear) at the pointy-eared woman's behest. [color=0072bc][i]"Is this the forbidden practice you spoke of?"[/i][/color] Axol thought to himself, now fully understanding why villages would cast her out, why she was the Exiled. Then a dangerous thought crossed his mind, putting his advances to a halt. He watched the unwilling corpses attack the beast, their flesh and skin taken away, their movements mindless yet obedient to Andrea's will. [color=0072bc][i]"How much of someone could this woman bring back..?"[/i][/color]

Axol shook his head, recovering his arrogant resolve. [color=0072bc][i]"No. Aena would kill me. She rests. Let her be."[/i][/color] He turns his attention back to the elk who is now moving to flank their sides, its eyeless sights still on Ironbelle. [color=0072bc]"Got an appetite for steel, do you?!"[/color] He taunts as he strode towards it, hoping to intercept the small creature's advance. [color=0072bc]"Well, here's a bite that'll keep you full!"[/color] He picks up his pace, now rushing boldly, ready to sweep with the greatsword's dulled edges. It didn't matter if it got up again- In fact, he would rather the fight last longer.

Actions:

1. Move 20ft towards the elk
2. If the elk meets him halfway, will use basic heavy attack
