Snake to man again, and he desperately began scrabbling for the sticks and pieces of wood that had been flung at them amongst the earlier stones, gathering fuel for a fire that would last mere seconds before the monsters tried to throw shadow on it to snuff it. He knew that, but they had such limited options now and his wings were useless against this creature, no less than the rest of him--
His hand immediately closed on the smooth shaft of the spear that had struck him earlier, opening the bloody wound in his thigh, and inspiration lit like a spark, a bonfire of dominoes falling together. If they could just--
Kiada's voice held him. Not quite still, no. He continued to move in small, sure motions, deftly finding the free end of the rope around his waist and beginning to tie it tightly around the butt of the spear. He frowned as she gave in to the monster's demands, but he understood why. They were hurt, wounded... outmatched on their own. There weren't many upgrades they could easily lay hold off in the middle of LongNight, but there were two he could think of off the top of his head, if Rexanna and Bastien were willing.

Kiada had been worried about making another Spire Monster, and he could see the logic in that, but they would have to cross that bridge when they came to it. For now they needed to focus on survival.
Jigano grabs the spear and starts to fiddle with it, standing behind Kiada and attempting to protect her with his body again.
