The tiger growls loudly in pain when Momohime's sword strikes the tiger! However even if tiger was exhausted (combat, injuries and now strenght draining spell), a desperate animal instincts did not let go from living easily! Tiger has set upon a death struggle, as it would surely die in wilds if it retreats now! So tiger launches frenzy of attacks on Momohime, again only claw connecting (doing 7pts dmg) and this time tear scratch on Momohime's long slender leg (sparing kimono from further harm for now).
