The sword danced in Sachi's hand as her companion distracted the creature long enough for her blade to slice at the creature's throat. If not for the metal feathers, that cut might have been its last, it drew blood but did not manage to cut open the creature's neck, but that was a small mercy still. The creature shivered and screeched in pain as it stared at her angrily.<br/><br/>The spells lashed its wings to the masts as it spread them once more, followed by the force jaw snatching a hold of the creature. As it stood, it was trapped, but based on the rippling muscles on its form, it was temporary at best. This thing was obviously strong, being already on the side of a large creature, and from the looks of it a stronger beast than a bird its size had any business being. Its talons alone the size of short swords, hooked and perfect for a dive attack to snatch someone along with it to the sky.<br/><br/>It still screamed its wrath out when Will's assault landed on it, slicing along the creature's side. The strike might have missed if it was not pinned, its tough feathers trying to push the blade aside even as will slashed. A few cut feathers falling, losing their metallic shine and reverting a more normal brown shade.<br/><br/>The slash was accompanied with a screech, before Jayne's landing atop the bird drove her weapon right into the back of the creature's neck with force, a splash of blood coating the nearest two crewmembers charging in and the captain could see the two brave men sink their blades into the now captive creature, stabbing at it. Unfortunately, one of them caught his arm in the webbing nearby, but well away from the trapping talons. As the creature wailed, its wounded, weakened state showed.<br/><br/>It shook its body harshly, trying to rip free. It had both the web and the jaws to defeat, but it was obvious the creature would eventually wear out  its bindings, it had a fair chance at doing so, but for now it was at the mercy of the adventurers.<br/><br/>It was screeching with cries of pain when struck, the paladins blades hitting it rather hard, revealing an evil nature underneath. This creature might look beastly, but it had a fury that seemed to be cunning enough to make this beast not just angry, but outright evil.
