The ensuring screech nearly deafened Mjrn, who nearly lost her balance atop the great best. She had enough presence of mind to take advantage of her position, though, stabbing downward with her spear not long after Shelke's blow.

The spear plunged deep into the T-Rexaur's back, and she could feel the beast twitch and shudder beneath her. That was a worse wound than her previous attempt, having struck a vital area. She could only hope its end would be soon.

But the beast wasn't done yet. It thrashed, trying to shake her off as well as the spear. Mjrn tried to tug it free and just barely succeeded, but lost her balance in the process. She stumbled to the ground, landing hard.
