[Dean's curse is echoed and expounded on. Language that never passes Nadine's lips suddenly spills forth as the ground around her begins to shake. There's not enough time for a clean dodge, before Nadine can do more than leap back it's coming out of the earth.
She gets one hit in. Her sword comes up and the flaming blade makes contact and there's a terrible sound. It's not quite enough. Even as Nadine is throwing herself out of the way, as Dean is barreling in her direction, she feels something hot and very quick on her back. Almost like a glancing blow, it's there and done so quickly. She can't even be sure what it is, there's too much noise and shock and confusion as she's knocked out of the way before the beast can close it's mouth on her properly.
The pain registers a moment later and her sword drops to the ground. Her right hand refuses to hold it any more and there's a burning sensation along the back of her right shoulder. Her armor is sliced open and there's blood. She does down, rolling, curling in on herself defensively as the worm burrows back into the ground where she'd just been.]
