In the center of the swamp Orion sees the beast strike in rage at his friend. Bolting forward he charges through the overgrowth, leaping over the water. But the monk does not simply land behind the beast, he drops his elbow and lands all of momentum on the back of the animal.

Rune stabs at the foul beast with his mystic dagger, and while the attack doesn't land true, he does manage to graze the beast, doing some damage before carefully circling around the beat.

Greil challenges the beast, something with the beast understands on some primal level. The warden then swings his hammer at the it, but the beast is to quick for the strike.

It responds with an attack of its own, reaching out with its sharp talons and grabbing hold of Greil, its sharp grip tearing into the warden. With Greil firmly in its grasp it rakes at him with its talons, but the goliath calls upon the hardiness of his heritage and endures the assault.

Orion's heavy blow lands true and you can hear the loud snap of bone and the horrific creature flinches in agony.

Spinning his blade around him, Boone unleashes a ethereal blade which slices the vermin closest to his allies in half and it falls back into the water.

One of the vermin rushes at the wizard, only to be cut down by his orbiting swords before landing a blow. Two others move closer and one claws and Greil but its attack bounces harmlessly off his shield.
