Watching the creature carefully, Eldrian tried to gauge its strength and speed before the next clash. The previous attack had informed him that it was far stronger than him, luckily, its speed seemed to be around the same as his.
Eldrian had no idea why sometimes mana sense would give him an attribute or two and sometimes not; but, right now he certainly wished it would. He knew he couldn't take the time to get used to this Blaidd creature, as the shaman was already busy casting another spell.
Dodging another attack and attempting to counter, Eldrian found himself unable as a small sharpened rock missed him just barely as he dodged at the last second. His instincts having warned him of the danger more than his sights or hearing.
'Shit! And I can't cast without focusing fully on it and-' Blocking the bite with the shaft of his spear, Eldrian lost this train of thought as he was forced onto the backfoot.
