Monster's Curse

Tame tensed, waiting for it. For the first few moments, the suit merely stayed there. The moment he lifted his foot sideways though, it lunged. Tame twisted on his one steady foot and grabbed a hold of the thing’s wrist, keeping the blade true to its course. The scraping of stone could easily be heard as he rolled away from the thing.

It forced its blade out of the rock and turned back to him. A small smirk came across Tame’s features as he continued to back away from it. The creature’s own steps mirrored his. He felt the slight sticking of webbing and breathed a sigh of annoyance.

He sidestepped the blade this time and and brought out his knife. Just as the sword was momentarily stuck in the webbing, he lunged forward, jamming his weapon between a two of the plates of its armor. It tried pulling the sword free, but the sudden stiffness of its right arm caused this to be almost impossible.

Tame was just about to look inside when the threat backed away, using its weight to wrench its blade from the webbing. It switched its grip to one handed and turned to face him once more. He swallowed hard and started to back away. This time though, as his foot got into the webbing, he couldn’t help but smirk.

This time he had to spin out of the way as the thrust came for him, cutting open part of his jacket. Tame used the tight rotation to slam his elbow into the thing’s back with a shout of triumph. A loud groan filled the hall as the heavy suit caused the webbing to shift and bend. A slight smile crossed his lips as he considered pushing her, hoping it might cause her to crash through the window. Of course, I could use this as a chance to see just what is so important in that room it was guarding.
