"Crap I'm going to regret this tomorrow,"  He thought.  He had only one sure fire way of making sure he got that hit he needed.  He dropped all his extra wait and took a deep breath.  Then he started running. He ran up and grabbed her  around the waist.  He would have knocked a human down,  it didn't even budge her, as expected.  He took out his thin blade and deftly reversed it in his hand before stabbing up, between the scales and into her side.  If he was lucky he would hit an organ and get all the poison in her system fast.  In the mean time he had just seriously ticked off a very powerful monster, and a woman to boot.  Now he was unarmed, and right on top of her.  He braced himself for what was likely going to be the most painful experience of his life to date.
