IF its not trying to communicate, its trying to confuse you. Destory it

IF its that strong, no chances to be taken. Whip out the A-game boys, this is what restorative supplies are for.

<<Break those fingers. When it can't claw you it has to resort to its bite, and its vitals ARE in his noggin.>>
<<Darren: Do some Druid Majyks to lift the lid of the box and to smash the Jack when it is imobolized.>>
<< During that say this witty one liner: " It is time to put the Jack back.... in the Box."

Tell me the truth, your on the subspecies of writers that feed on reader tears aren't you?

You cast MACHA'S SHIELD on Daren, creating a BARRIER to shield him from damage.
The barrier will provide him 1 PROTECTION(S), cancelling out the damage of the next 1
hit(s) he takes. It's hardly the best Protection spell, but it'll hold without you
being required to focus on continually casting it. It's also the only one you know
well enough to cast at a moment's notice.

You can't cast spells, silly, you don't know how to FUNNEL, or CHANNEL, or use
any sort of magic directly other than the magic provided by your Geis; and then
only barely. Aiden's the one who handles the magic.

Watching the brawl, you can't help but notice the claw ran Daren straight through to begin
with so the further impalement wouldn't have added a significant degree of damage.
