The monster jerks its attention from Mercy and charges suddenly at Martin, all gnashing teeth and claws. It moves to strike at him, and the woman cries out, "Trees! Trees!" hoping Martin will understand that he should use the trees to his advantage on a dodge. She really doesn't need someone brave for this fight. She needs to him to be more sensible!

But as it is, she takes the opportunity to race up and strike at the thing's back while it's preoccupied. Her dirk drives into its back, and the thing screams in pain as Mercy pulls out and readies again.
