[The raptor next to Chika turns its attention back to the zombie too late as the sword flashes in. It twists, leaping backwards, catlike... The sword still bites into its chest, jarring Chika's arm to the elbow as it strikes the breastplate and gets no further before the death lizard evades... It snorts, a bursting sount into the air as it sways, looking at Gray one way, then the other...
For his part, Scowl scrapes a much more shallow cut along the raptor's flank.
It hits the ground and immediately scrambles to its feet and charges in large bounds for the Hydra leader.]
