Olivia pushed herself jerkily to her feet, watching as several others seemed to bounce off harmlessly against the beast, only one who seemed to be able to cause damage. Significant damage. It was almost as though he was made stronger than the rest, or aided by some unseen force. Her hopes were promptly crushed as he was slammed to the ground as the beast thrashed about, a stone gored into one of its eyes.<br/><br/>Her body felt like a sack of stones, her sense of equilibrium had yet to settle from the beast's defence. From what she could see, the beast was tired, perhaps even on the verge of starving to death when the battle began. Perhaps they stood a chance.

It followed its weakened prey down, using its bladed tail to pin its prey to the ground.
