Like a carnivorous animal, you slink out from the gloom to claim what is rightfully yours. Caught unawares, the werebear catches the white arc of moonfire cleaving through the night air an instant too late - as a coiled spring, you leave the ground behind and lunge upward toward his neck. The katana splits the werebeast's steely thews one strand at a time, nicking a blood vessel as the blade works its way further and further into his flesh - you are trapped in a nonstop downpour of liquid sable.
Alas, your impetus proves insufficient, and you are unable to deal a killing blow. Your adrenaline-fueled swashbuckling crumbles as you desperately pry the weapon free from the Huntlord's flesh. A punctual decision, as the werebear swipes his claw horizontally across the space that your head once occupied with enough strength to cleanly separate it from your body if it had made contact.
The deep gash running across the Malarite's throat does not diminish his ferocity in the slightest. Intensifying his belligerence, you are required to fight on the back foot a second time while he bedevils you with serial flurries. Paradoxically, he grows ever stronger as the lifeblood spills from the severe wound that you have dealt him.
