He barely had time to avoid it before one of the hideous creature’s appendages hit him with otherworldly and malignant force. His shield arm felt numb after that hit. He was almost thrown down but he put his weight on his heel and he was only pushed back a little. Then, with a backhand blow he slashed at the retreating appendage, spreading foul ichor on the wall.The Grue, enraged that someone had managed to hurt it, pounced on Rylnethaz who fell almost flat on the floor letting the Grue jump over him. Right at that moment, BoldItalic cast a baleful curse on the beast, further impeding its fighting ability. Noticing that, the Grue charged ahead trying to shred BoldItalic but not before launching a fusillade of barbed spines at Rylnethaz, from which only his red shield saved him. Hideously malformed appendages attacked BoldItalic in a series of terrifying attacks.“I have never been more thankful for preparing this spell,” thought BoldItalic as the attacks where deflected by a shield of magical energy put in place in the last moment. Nevertheless, it was only going to last for a very brief time and that made him very worried.Brief as it may have been, it was just the opening Rylnethaz had sought. Gathering all his strength and courage and hoping to keep the bile in his stomach he run straight for the beast, jumping on its tail and then run up its spine, glowing blue sword in hand, avoiding the barbed spines launched at random.BoldItalic thought, “well, he’s either crazy and we are dead or he knows what he’s doing and we are going to survive this against all hope,” so he chose to leave himself open and instead cast a spell to haste Rylnethaz. Rylnethaz, his speed enhanced by the magic, run fast on top of the blasphemous monstrosity’s neck and started slashing in what looked like a glowing blue blur of attacks. The foul creature growled and thrashed manically but Rylnethaz managed to keep his feet on it and kept slashing, spreading ichor and foul flesh everywhere.At last, the Grue suffered a mortal blow and collapsed with a loud thud. BoldItalic barely managed to get away and not be crushed by the beast. Rylnethaz jumped on the floor on time too and then stumbled aside. He hastily removed his helmet and convulsed. “Are you hurt?” asked BoldItalic coming closer. Rylnethaz managed to answer, “Only my pride,” before emptying the contents of his stomach on the floor.</blockquote>
