Dammit, Nate had hoped Drake wouldn't notice that. "Crabs?" He'd just seen toads so far, but crabs had pincers, which seemed like a terrible idea. He'd figure that out if he had to, but for now, they were about to land headfirst in a pack of iguions.
Toad, toad, what are the weak spots of a toad? That slime was thick enough to protect them from contact poisons, and Drake was in too close for Nate to want to risk that. No, he'd stick with his first plan - freeze bomb it was.
"Duck!" he shouted, and lobbed a small grenade over Drake, catching the ugly creature square in its flat nostrils. The frost spread, and Nate winced as jagged edges of ice ruptured its eyeballs from the inside. It let out a horrible graunching scream.
Nate hefted his pouch in one hand. No more than four or five ice grenades left, and a whole pack of toads. Time to improvise.
"Watch your feet," Nate warned his companions, carefully reaching into the sack of drugged caltrops. The pain would probably just annoy creatures this big, but hopefully the sedative would make them sluggish enough for Drake to take them out more easily. Carefully, he began tossing them one by one into the center of the pack.
