The beast quickly reverses its blade yet again, knocking her weapon clear of his gut, and out of her hand. The blade slams against the side of the cottage and bounces off, landing in the dirt about five feet away. The minotaur slams his axe into the ground, and pins the paladin beneath him, and starts to tear her armor off, his shaft even longer and thicker now. It still dangles, but she can see that it is its own weight that does that, not from a lack of being rigid.
