Re: NZA - Slayer
He nods in worried agreement. He returns the kiss and hug dutifully. It seems he thinks that retreat wasn't possible in the first place. He gets in place and readies his axe, remaining out of sight.
The grappling hook sails up to a decent spot and holds. Kat climbs it vigorously, and comes to realize that the creature had heard the hook's impact and began to look directly at her, the source of the noise.
As Kat would be able to get balance on a proper place, she gets a good view of the Lunus. He is licking his paw in anticipation, staring upward at her - his keen senses fixated well on the delicious female in range.
Kat draws a throwing knife and hurls it down, stabbing into the Lunus's left shoulder. To her horror however, the Lunus makes a grunt and pulls it out forcefully, tossing it aside. The Lunus moves to attempt to climb the tree as your companion launches his attack.
Without thinking of logic, just thinking of the moment of survival, he leaps from the high location with his axe in both of his hands. The Lunus turns his torso in time to be hacked mercilessly in left arm with a mighty, forceful swing. The arm is incredibly bloody, and the creature lets out a howl of pain.
The Lunus turns his attention toward your ally, who seems to be unable to stand for some reason. The lust that was in the air has turned into fury.
