Durin tried to stab the demon while it was down, but it knocked the spear off course with its feet. It was a shame that he managed to avoid Durin's spear strike, but it was pretty well expected. Nobody likes having their eye gouged, and Durin had to avoid quite a few of those. No matter, There are plenty of other biological weakspots to exploit. When Artholath backflipped, Durin took advantage of its inability to see or react to what's going on during the maneuver to take a large step closer. When the demon tried to smile, what he would receive was another spear thrust to the eye.
