The shadow-creature limped, too -- but towards her, crouched behind his shield, eager to finish the fight. Trotting as fast as she could, she tried to circle around to his exposed right side, but having only three legs to work with, it was far more difficult than it was before. She had him almost spinning in place, then suddenly she flapped her wings and reversed direction. The abrupt need to twist the other way forced the shadow-creature to unintentionally put weight on its bad leg, and it roared again, almost toppling over sideways from the excruciating pain.
