Altair's irrational behavior now had him jammed in the middle of the hoard and even though he was holding up for a while he wasn't going to be able to keep this up. His strokes never failed to hit something though the tough skin of the lizard deflected some of his more critical strikes. The price he was paying to keep this up was taking its toll without fail. His telekinesis already began to fail him a few swings ago and it was mostly only his own skills. He was paying the price for wasting all his energy playing around earlier. Caught up in the thrill he had forgotten that he was no longer in a safe environment anymore. A clawed hand that came at his face made him come back into focus again. He managed to avoid getting scratched but he got the blunt of the attack and was knocked down a few feet back. They sensed the weakness and saw that he was down and it excited them. He was going to be an easy kill for sure.<br/><br/>Bleeding on the ground Altair was finding it hard to get back up fast enough. He heard shots and the beast did too distracting most of them and drawing some of them away. He heard Shane's voice come in through his suit and he was grateful that he had the soldier in his small rag tag team of survivors. Altair had the opening he needed and cut down the lizards fighting his way back to Dalaena. He spoke into his mic hurriedly. "Shane I copy I'm grabbing one of the other females and we'll make a break for it. At the moment I don't see a clear way to either our ship or to where your heading. Get your ass out of here safe you hear? I'll be fine I'll fight from a tree if I have to. We'll plan our retaliation when we're all somewhere safe I'll keep in touch if I can." Altair went to where the lightning was striking down and he found Dalaena fighting with a ferocity he had never seen in her before. He quickly went to her side and caught his breath. When he was rested enough to talk he spoke quickly. "Dalaena we have an opening but we have to move now. We either make a dash for the ship or follow the others." He was sure he saw Lance run into the ship and the War mistress follow. "I'm scared to leave one of my men with your... fearless leader though."
