You remember that the cave has rocks of decent size, and quickly gather a few to throw at the scaleman. Your heart races as you anticipate the rewarding experience of a well-thrown rock from your vantage point caving in the skull of the damn reptilian. You steel your nerves, however, knowing that you must not fuck this up. You wait until the moment is just right, and only then do you unleash a ferocious barrage of rocks and an equally-ferocious barrage of obscenities.
You feel an intense rush as you throw the stones. Unfortunately, none of your stones quite manage to hit the scaleman's head, but you do manage to hit its free arm and the knee on the same side of the body. The heavy rocks, thrown with your strength and becoming deadlier from the fall down, wound the scaleman enough that Dozer now has the upper hand and feels confident enough to attack. Not wanting to accidentally hurt your dog, you now climb down, with one rock in hand, to assist.
You move quickly, but you are careful to avoid hurting your foot again. By the time you get down, Dozer has the upper hand, though the scaleman is still struggling and has managed to injure Dozer somewhat, though not to an immediately life-threatening extent. You move in to subdue the scaleman and find Iladj by your side in a few moments. Clearly, the commotion you made had woken him, and he helps you fully overpower the scaleman and take its weapon.
Your first instinct is to quickly kill the scaleman and move on, as there could be more nearby. At the same time, though, a live scaleman could be a valuable source of information, perhaps worth interrogating. You also consider making the scaleman suffer before killing it as revenge for what its people did to yours. Iladj senses that you are mulling over what to do and looks at you, awaiting your decision.
