[ He ignores that first part because it was totally you who’d brought that up, Claude, and therefore the blame still rests solely on your shoulders.
But that warning has him spinning in alarm, half-expecting the large beast in question to be lurking just behind him. It’s not, it’s just another smaller (but still far too big) scorpion just coming within range, it’s stinger raised threateningly.
Letting out a curse, because he’s off-balance and his spear range is off from having just stabbed another one from the other direction, he does the only thing he can at this range - spins the spear a half-turn in his hand and brings the blunt end smashing down right in the middle of the thing’s body.
It doesn’t kill it, but it does pin it in place and that stinger ineffectively strikes at the lance’s shaft instead of his leg as he keeps it trapped there. ]
Thanks. Care to give me a hand here? [ He does not want to let this thing loose again, it looks really pissed at him. ]
