After delivering the blow he quickly realized it was ineffective. Maddox retracted his leg and landed behind Grane, calculating his next plan of attack. If the evidence wasn't good enough, Grane confirmed himself that he didn't share the same weaknesses as humans. _If he isn't lying then it means I'll have to use my magic to hurt him,_ Maddox thought. He expected Grane to begin an assault of his own and was surprised when the reptilian man began teleporting around the cavern.
_He wants to wear me down in order to get an easy, clean victory,_ Maddox deduced, resuming his combat stance and letting his eyes follow Grane. _I have no idea how much magical power he has left so it would be risky to attempt a chase. Then again if I take too long he can hit me with a surprise attack._ Maddox jumped forward and vanished, teleporting across the cavern. When he reappeared he was not alone. Another Maddox, perfectly identical in appearance, was next to him. "It's not a matter of how fast I can go," one of the Maddox's said. Both vanished again.
Now on opposite ends of the aquifer there was two Maddox each. All four spoke up this time. "It's a matter of how I hit you." All four vanished and consequently eight Maddox appeared around the room, constantly moving in order to intercept Grane. As the large dragon-man appeared from another teleport, three of the Maddox thoughtforms surrounded him, letting out a strike to his knees, lower back, and neck. This was to bait a reaction from him so that he would be wide open to the real Maddox. _I just hope he isn't so attune as to tell thoughtforms from the real stuff._
