Alexander cried out in pain as the pincer sank into his chest because he had been unable to retreat fast enough. He was forced to watch as the monster prepared to finish him off its corrosive mucus. Then the hunter with the strange weapon he'd seen earlier jumped in and beat off the beast with remarkable strength until was also thrown off. Alexander struggled to stand up futilely, Larion seeing his distress quickly bounded over and arrived at the same time Sapphire did.

Together, with Sapphire's impressive distraction they managed to get Alexander mostly out of danger. As Sapphire tore her cloak to stop the bleeding Alexander managed to cough out his thanks. "[b]Thanks, not sure if I could've held out for a [i]hole[/i] lot longer.[/b]"

The weak quip was all he could manage at the moment and it helped him not focus on the stab in his chest. Hopefully that mandible didn't have any sort of toxin or poison on it. On a more serious note he said, "[b]Please help Imgor kill that thing, Larion will do whatever you ask.[/b]" the last part of that statement was aimed at Larion and the Iron-back nodded while whining worriedly. They couldn't leave that monster alive to savage any innocent travelers who happened to come by. He coughed up some more blood and applied pressure to his chest as best he could as he waited, hoping that the beast could at least be driven off quickly. If it came over here... well, hopefully it wouldn't.
