It was surely on its last legs, enough damage would surely lead it to flee, and for their mission that was enough. She would prefer to drag it out of its pit to wither, but whatever. It wasn't their job, they wouldn't be paid to kill it. Still, it could hold something valuable within it, she'd found a couple cheap swords within the last one she killed. Not much admittedly, but a little compensation would do nicely.<br/><br/>That left them with the job of moving it back out of the pit. She was a little uncertain why it was fleeing back, though maybe the pain coming from its back was enough to confuse its little monster brain, surely not any bigger than a bag of pennies. She wished she had something more useful for the purpose in her bag, unfortunately she was fairly certain she didn't. A hook and chain would be nice, but just way too heavy to carry with her for any job.<br/><br/>That left them a little short of options, she doubted she could make enough noise on her own to make the monster pull after her with Elise hammering away at the back of it. At that point, until Elise got off she suspected they'd just have to continue harassing it.<br/><br/>With that in mind, she readied her weapon, her eyes danced around for solid surfaces moving into the bog, chasing after the monster. Some had been pushed away, but there was enough surfaces, at least from the look of things, and her sword was light enough it would hopefully not throw her off balance. She knew of the risk that her bag rattled as she jumped, but she tried her damndest to remain silent in the hopes she could get it by surprise.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Always Prepared - At 2020-02-19 02:10:51, Aeryn (uid: 41538) rolls: 2d6a1 Result: 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=144431) - 2 points of preparedness.<br/>Defy Danger [dex] - At 2020-02-19 02:18:46, Aeryn (uid: 41538) rolls: 2d6a3 Result: 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=144432)<br/></div></div>
