The Scorpion-Beast was stabbed in the 'gut' from the underside, confusing it and making it move a bit backwards. It saw tiny flashes of light coming in through a hole, and then felt very, very hot. The foliage was ignited and Imgor had to get out ASAP, which he promptly did. Now ON FIRE, the creature tried to put itself out, waving around wildly. Arnold seemed to wake up as the beast went past him, and the fire got on him too, beginning to burn his clothes. [color=00a99d]"HOLY FUCK!"[/color] he screamed, ripping off the cloth from his arm and throwing it at the scorpion creature, which was also, still on fire. [color=00a99d]"Nothing sets me on fire and lives! DIE, CREATURE!"[/color].

Arnold then rushed the thing and began a close-range fight, using his shield to block attacks, and then bashing it in the face. Of course, as both were heavily defended (And in the scorpions' case, very offensive as well) combatants, they were essentially in a stale-mate. Either way, the scorpion was a dead beast walking; For some reason, Beasts were even more vulnerable to fire then regular creatures. [color=00a99d]"Am I going to have to wait as this thing burns to death or what? Someone stab it already!"[/color], he quickly requested.

The fire, in any case, began to spread, and the environmental situation of Coalstrike obviously worsened. In the night, this was obviously going to be noticed by [i]somebody[/i].
