Sayuri & Kiernan: AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A KILLER MANTIS PARTY CUZ A KILLER MANTIS PARTY DON'T STOP.
Kiernan also managed to move out of the way in time, his armor built for the agile movements his class demanded. Then Sayuri was off, charging after the mantis, who seemed ready to counterstrike as soon as she made her attack.
If Kiernan timed his next Jump right, the Mantis wouldn't get the chance to.
He sprinted out of the Killer Mantis' line of sight, spear in hand and timing his companion's movements in order to make his attack as soon as she mad hers. Above, Lucy circled the battlefield, seeming to wait until the humes had moved out of the way of her firepower for when she should attack; as much as Kiernan was used to getting roasted by her, for his ally to take the brunt of her fire breath would be detrimental to their cause.
And -- there it was, Kiernan's opening. He stopped his sprint, prepped, and Jumped.
