Kain stays around long enough for the barrier, making sure to down one of the tonics right away. He doesn't intend to hold back, after all, and he's going to need that fire resistance with what he intends to do. He may be powered by taking hits, strengthened by pain... but even he wouldn't be able to withstand dragon-fire. It's a good thing they're well-covered by healers.

He charges forth the moment the dragon lands, swinging his massive sword, Dragon's Fang, right toward one of the dragon's front legs. He's already got Ring of Pain activated, and Dragon-Rage, feeling the fury of his previous failure weighing on him. It's oddly to his advantage that he's not coming in to this at full health... the previous wounds only fuel his strength now as he slashes at the dragon.

The dragon, of course, doesn't seem at all slowed yet by their blows. It shakes itself a little after that ice bitterly chills it, but regains its form to blast fire toward Inessa and anyone else who happens to be in front. Its claws slice toward Kain, who braces himself against them. In the back, that mighty tail of its swings wildly, attempting to slam into James with full force.
