Xavier had been smacked into a wall by the creature, he landed on the ground, blood and bile in his mouth, the only thing that kept him alive was his vampiric agility as he dodge rolls away to a safe distance. He spat the blood onto the ground, his face set in a dark grimace, he sheathed his blade and opened and closed his hands. He hadn't planned on this, a big one, intelligent and deadly, a bad combination when it came to beasts. He dodged again and agian as it either lunged or tried to hit him with his tail. His feral grin coming back to his lips as he steps to the side and get's in close, the creature then tried using it's, what passed for feet, to spike him, two went into his shoulders, drawing more blood, the creature thinking it had it's new prey finally captured lunged down with it's mouth agape, Xavier slammed his gauntleted fist upwards, a powerful upper cut that went up and through the upper jaw of the lurker and into it's skull, he felt his knuckles breaking as he did so, grimacing in pain...and at the amount of bug gore on his cloak he sighed and pulled his hand out, shaking it, his bones were already healing as well as some of the minor wounds, he opened his tear again and blasted another lurker that was going for the vampire priest. He moved again spinning around the creature to stand with his back to the other vampire "Hey, any magic that works against them rather than just us?" He says sending another lightning bolt into the creature, it stumbled and growled at him.
