<strong>Day 1 - Hillsbrow village</strong><br/><br/>Daria was relieved to see the beast turn its attention away when Giselle attacked. She watched the elf's movements, and there was no question that she was much quicker and more agile than her. Daria was used to frontal combat, and her heavier armor prevented her from doing some of the acrobatics needed to do this kind of offensive maneuvers. Using all her strength, she took advantage of the distracted beast, and as soon as it began to trash about, attempting to kill the elven rogue, she brought down her sword with both hands against the creature's arm, the one holding her up, and cut it right through. She fell to the ground, rolling forward, along with the cut off limb.<br/><br/>Not wasting a second, she was back on her feet and went to impale the lizard in the chest. The beast saw her come however and turned to protect itself, and Daria's sword instead slashed through its side. The beast bled some more, but quickly riposted with its foot, kicking to the side, catching Daria right in the chest, sending her a few feet into the air and landing on her back, losing grip on her sword. Looking back up, she let out an angry growl. "I'm going to finish you, beast!" Without waiting for the lizard to have another opportunity to attack, she jumped back up and grabbed the creature's remaining free arm with both hands, gripping herself onto it, and pulling with all of her strength, attempting to break its arm. The beast roared once more, suffering immense pain from both girls.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the remaining guard had gone on the offensive as well against the beast's tail, although his attacks were much more timid. The beast avoided most of them by moving, but he did manage to get a few good cuts into the monster's flesh. Between all 3 of them, the beast seemed to be much weakened already.
