Clarence closed in the distance and hit the monkey, forcing it to stop its screeching and divert its attention to block the attack.
Bernard came shortly after and attacked with his halberd. The monkey knew that the danger posed by halberd was greater than the daggers, so it tried to push off the daggers and dodge.
But just as it tried doing so, Clarence shot a dart at its eyes, forcing the monkey into a dilemma. He had kept the dart in his mouth all this time just for opportunities like this.
Sensing attacks coming from all sides, the monkey did what all animals do when they sense overwhelming danger. Run.
It didn't even bother pushing off the daggers, in the split second it took for the dart to reach it, and the halberd to hit it, the monkey turned around and ran.
Clarence's dagger grazed past its hands, slightly peeling off its skin; his dart couldn't hit the target as it hit the monkey's shoulder rather than forehead.
