[ but he can't afford to let that get the best of him. he shakes it off and runs around to the other side of the statue, quickly having mehrak run its light over it. there are several subtle cracks in the sculpt, weak points, that if exploited could easily bring this thing to its knees. not to mention the explosive results of dendro and hydro... ] Tartaglia! [ kaveh's claymore glows gold as he moves his hands in quick yet precise movements, striking the knight hard behind one knee, at the hip, on the shoulder, at the elbow, on the wrist. mehrak makes sure to keep these points illuminated. ] Do you think you can cool down our friend, here, I think he's gotten a little hot-headed. Perhaps it's because whoever sculpted this thing did a pretty poor job... I'm surprised it's still together.
