Artimer heard her coming, he had just a couple more seconds before she came running at him to stand up and swat her away with an open hand. He could tell something was up with the dagger, and he did not want that anywhere near him. Breathing in he focused on his water reserves, if anything he would put her sword out again. Letting out a roar he shot large balls of water at her in a stream of water. She was able to dodge the first couple, but he had counted on that and was able to get her with the next two. The water that touched her skin gave her second degree burns, the steam itself blurring her vision when her sword went out.<br/>"The little tike wants to play huh?" He growled deeply, "Lets play, bitch." Getting up he towered over her, his large hand could almost wrap all the way around her front. Using his size to his advantage he nearly threw her against the furthest wall. As he did so his tail swung and hit the wall behind him, causing the walls to reverberate with a large gong sound.<br/>He paid that little mind as his focus was on the girl. He could see her and smell her, and hear her better then any other creature. He had the advantage here as he could see in the dark, and he knew she either needed light or time to adjust. Leaping up he pounced where she was picking her up with his hand and shock her like a rag doll, in the hopes to cause her to loose her weapons. He moved his tail to keep balance with his movements, as he slide it to the other side it smashed into the wall, causing the same loud gong noise.<br/>That when he heard it, the sound of creatures scrambling in their direction. His nose told him that they were predators as they smelled of blood. His ears told him that they were hungry, from the near chant they had. Dropping the girl he leapt up as much as he could to a higher ledge, so the advantage could be his against this new threat.<br/>"Shame the pretty little bit of food wont be mine today." was the only warning he gave of the coming danger.
