>>5765357>Nikon scores 11 damage - a pretty fucking gnarly throw by him.As the beast flaps on the ground, disoriented, you see that the spear has been planted deeply in its breast, low and centered - you can only imagine that the pitiless bronze has pierced its' organs. It hisses at you weakly, tearing at the spear ineffectually with its enormous, curved beak.
Black blood gushes freely from the beast's wound, spilling over its tawny feathers, and smoking as it floods along the haft of your spear. The eagle-like animal flails against the rocky earth. Without any other recourse, you draw your sword - but attacking it with a weapon of such reduced reach gives you pause - by necessity, you'd have to draw within range of its beak and bronze-tipped talons. The titanic predator screeches again in outrage, it's cry echoing across the hills.
In the distance, you hear a reply - a pair of piercing calls from further east that can only be the remainder of the creature's brood.
Alarmingly, you watch as the flow of black blood begins to slow - <span class="mu-i">it is healing like YOU</span> you realize - it must be a descendent of the divines like yourself - some awful aberration resulting from the mixing of beast and daimon, an act that you would prefer not to consider further.
Making this conclusion, you realize that you must kill the beast NOW - you won't have a better chance to do so than at this very moment, as it struggles against the terrible wound you've inflicted against it, making no attempt to flee.
But how to attack?
>I'm going to leave this vote upon until 8pm tonight - unfortunately, something's come up to interrupt my session here.>Charge the beast with your sword blade high - this will trigger a standard initiative contest and melee combat rounds. With the beast gravely wounded, you won't have a better chance to kill it - you'll have to risk your own disembowelment in the process. >Scrounge for boulders and rocks - perhaps you can quickly locate a stone of adequate size and crush the beast from a safe distance? Of course, every moment that goes by means that the wound you delivered will be healing at a rapid pace. Additionally, the beast's brood must be approaching by air. Time is very precious to you - can you afford the moments needed?>Reconsider your approach, fleeing the scene outright and returning to the ships - there are two additional divine beasts out there, and you cannot risk being outnumbered! Kleos can only be won by the living, and there's no shame in a controlled retreat.>Something else I haven't thought of?
