Kain isn’t about to let up for a moment, knowing that hesitation could mean death. It had cost him dearly last time, and it was this attack with the wings that had really done him in last time. That he’s still standing now is only thanks to the magic from the others. He has just enough pain… but also just enough health at the same time.
Aiming another series of whirling blows at the dragon, Kain continues to cut at its thick side. The sword occasionally bounces off those hard scales, but once in a while he gets a good, strong strike on it. Blood starts to seep out from the wounds he’s dealing. Good.
At least this time, the magic seems to have a bit more of an effect… a possible sign that they’re getting through to the dragon, finally wearing it down? Kain doesn’t dare to hope. The hex makes the dragon’s next vicious chomp of teeth miss wildly… a good thing, or he’d have surely had some literal mabari crunch to eat. This throws the dragon off just enough for James’ attack to also connect, similarly drawing blood.
The dragon is angry now, its rage growing as it again attempts to chomp whoever’s nearest, teeth snapping together viciously. It gives another wide sweep of its tail… and then… Then it takes to the sky, swooping upward rapidly.
“Maker damn it… She’s on the move!”
The dragon circles overhead for a while, raining fire down toward them. Only ranged weapons or magic can hit her while she's airborne, but she's starting to circle around toward another landing position some distance away.
