Bernard's stab was no joke either. It crushed through some spikes and reached the flesh.

[At 15 Wounds]

One thing was then apparent about the beast: it was goaded to attack the one who'd struck it last. So it twisted its now bleeding bulk to sink teeth in Bernard. But instead, it encountered the shield. Biting against the Holtzmann field, it got angered and tossed Bernard against the ground.

Lydia cursed when her gun was thrown to short, but drew a large knife instead and took a slash at the creatures leg. It didn't cut through the thick hide, annoyingly.

"Don't stay here, run back to camp!" she shouted at the two boys.

"Go! Warn the camp!" She added as she took another strike at it, before stepping away. Trying to lure it away from the camps direction (and towards her own gun again).

"I told you already, Lydia; we need you." The blow from that last attack really winded him, but he couldn't just leave. Besides, he blasted a shotgun; that's a much faster and easier means to warn the camp than someone running back and forward. "So go get your damn gun!"

Probably not the most motivating of speeches he had. He still held up his guard against the beast, however.

Lydia successfully kept the beast's attention onto herself. The creature, for all its deadliness, wasn't too tactical, or was it? She seemed the opponent that had hurt it the most...

As she fell back toward the gun, the hound leapt in pursuit, and its teeth sank deep in a grotesque display of genetically amplified savagery. Bloodshot haze clouded Lydia's eyes as her nerves kept reporting multiple flares of pain along her torso.

Watching the thing about kill his brother triggered something in Hadrian, who gave chase instead. Once close enough to the monster he aimed center mass and pulled the trigger. "Leave her alone!"

The beast, turning toward Hadrian with bloodthirst in eyes, blood dripping both along the spines and the teeth, was looking like ready to oblige.

Seeing Lydia get a good chunk of her body ripped out, Bern immediately charged into fray, shouting loudly as he pushed thru his exhaustion to get a strike into it. Still, he was exhausted and couldn't seem to connect with anything.

As Hadrian stared death in the face a grin started to form. He pulled the trigger but the beast's hide held up under the barrage.

"Come on! I'm ready!"

Lydia pushed through the pain, more angry that the other two had not gone back to the camp to warn or marshal more people. All she could do was pick up her gun, and prepare.

Efren came blasting through a thicket into the mess. He pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the creature while running into a central location for the group.

"Form up! Let's take this thing together! Help is on the way." He called out with confidence.

Lydia didn't need to be told twice as more people threw themselves at the mercy of this monster. She raised her gun, taking the chance to focus.

(using field command to aim)

Taking her moment to focus, she fired. It was...pretty effective

The well-aimed bullet went straight into the back of thd creature's head. It fell dead, on Hadrian.
