Gothog makes a mighty swing with his axe, tearing a huge gouge into the Beast, though Ironjaw just gets a mouthful of hair. Cirlioniel runs so hard his lungs seem fit to burst, but he manages to reach the bridge. He and Cyorel can easily see a great shaggy beast, something between a great cat and a bear, attacking and being attacked by several people, some of whom he knows, and a half-orc on a giant lizard that he's never seen before.
Cerithea dashes in to the side, and slashes at the creature with her flame-wreathed sword, ripping a smoking gash in its side.
The Beast turns rakes the half-orc with a heavy claw, tearing deep into the half-orc's flesh, before turning and dashing away. It looks terribly wounded, and seems to be trailing blood. Zan runs after it, matching its great speed with speed of his own, and manages to thwack it squarely with his sectioned staff. From above, Erland and Arroweye wing after the Beast. Erland stoops on him, but just misses closing his talons on its flesh.
