The Gore carrying Iosif is smaller, and struggles to move upwards. Instead, most of its movement remains on the same plane of height, Iosif’s feet dangling 6 or 7 feet above the ground.
In your mad dash, you see Representative Castele cowering, Representative Vaughn shouting something and pointing at Iosif, and Representative Scane fumbling with a pile of toppled crates.
You’re able to get some hits in on Gores that come nearby, but you and them are moving too fast to significantly damage many.
You stumble, and have to catch yourself against somone - The Alliance Representative. She shouts something at you and points at the floor, but you can’t hear above the shouting and high-pitched whoops of the Gores. But you see what she is pointing at, and it barely registers. Crossbow quarrels, and a strange object in her hand. Reminiscent of a crossbow, but smaller, and with a strange tubular apparatus attached to the side.
Your Sunstone is dimmer than it was when you first took it, but it is bright enough to have an immediate effect - the Gores shy away, seeming to avoid coming near you.
You see Holland, his hammer discarded, on his back, stabbing with a long knife at the Gore that has him pinned to the ground.
The creature sees you, but its body is too large for it to heave itself out of the way in time for your first strike. Your weapon sinks deep into greenish flesh, and the Gore - if it can be called that - screams.
You barely hear it. Its spiked limbs go rigid, all six extending towards you, and you have to dodge backwards to avoid being impaled.
