But, there was something to be said for his attack; it seemed like he was intending to disable one of the creature's primary, natural weapons. That was a smart ploy, but would it work? As he lined up his shot, he sort of went into an 'overwatch' mode; breathing steady, hands unshaking, iron sights locked in on it. Oeil Mort's long barrel was good for the range he was at.<br/><br/>He waited. Observed the creature, and the human... no, humans. A second, a woman, joined in attacking; another factor. He exhaled, inhaled; spoke. "Incoming!" Just as the woman was making her side attack, he fired off two shots of Ice cartridges aimed at the creatures pincers, intending for the explosion of freezing Dust to act a bit like the rubber bands on lobster claws; trying to disable, even if only temporarily, the only other weapons it seemed to possess. De-clawing the thing, as he thought of, was the best idea; they could beat it down into submission better if they crippled its own ability to fight. And combat was unavoidable now.<br/><br/>Sure, he could just walk away... but no, not now. Not this time.<em>No running. Never again.</em>he thought to himself.
