Unfortunately, the creature is limber enough that it is able to dodge away from one of your strikes... but the other strike rings true, and your volcanic blade leaves a vicious track-mark down the immense creature's right thigh, eliciting yet another roar... and causing the pommel on your blade to begin to change, the plain metal rectangle shifting and curving to look like the back end of a fossilized skull...<br/><br/>"RRNNRRGH!"<br/><br/>For a moment, you think that you're hearing things... but when the creature turns to glower down at you, you realize that you aren't going crazy. The Tyrant just spoke... well, sort of. More than any lizard should be able to, anyway.<br/><br/>With a snarl, the creature's head lunges down, and powerful jaws clamp shut around you. Thankfully, the fey magic that protects you keeps the teeth from dealing<em>too</em>much damage... but the world is certainly a bit darker, with the creature's jaws clamped around you as they are.
