Crag Claymore, grievously wounded, decides to take his chances on the run, rather than continue the fight. In a throaty, metallic rasp, he shouts "Damn the gods!" He turns in order to scramble over the table behind him.

Claymore makes a careful dash for the upstairs, seemingly hoping to get away from the wrath of his powerful foes. His mechanical ally attempts to move into a covering position, but its movement is hindered thanks to Thomas' icy cloud.
The remaining castle guard drops his sword and moves to his fallen comrade. "He's dead," the guard mutters, fighting back tears. He looks at Thorn, whom he still believes to be his commanding officer. "What do we do, sir?"
