With the serpent momentarily off balance from the mist - though that was already fading - Hadama took the opportunity to pull his Startide Trident from his back. He strode forward with grim determination and leveled the weapon at the Shadow Serpent, letting loose a blast of starlight-infused seawater from the glimmering tines. Unfortunately the creature was twisting to react to Thalassa in that moment and the attack skimmed harmlessly past it.
No one would deny Thalassa's courage after she went toe-to-toe with the giant, void-infused snake. It was just her bad luck that the coiling monster didn't have toes, and while she was bold she wasn't strong enough to wrestle a snake that was longer than she was. Its lashing tail evaded her grasp, but her dagger successfully parried the thrashing appendage so she wasn't injured by it.
It might not have been the most elegant of attacks, but Maea could report to Edmund that it was effective. She landed on the serpent's back with crushing force and it shrieked in pain. Its thrashing redoubled and it lashed out indiscriminately with fangs and muscular coils as it struggled to wriggle free from her mighty paws.
And in so doing it struck its original victim before the man could reach safety. It was a blow that carried with it the unsettling crunch of broken bones, drawing a gurgling cry of agony from the man as he collapsed beneath the serpent's weight.
Hadama uses his Trident and misses!
Thalassa also misses, but successfully parries!
Maea hits!
The serpent gets a critical hit against its original victim!
