Ack

The situation… was not good. 

Ray had managed to stall the monstrous hand, hacking it to pieces with his weapons — he wielded a short sword in one hand, and an axe in the other. Rain had blinded the abomination with her arrows, and Tamar disabled two of its arms. 

The problem was that the creature had just too many of them. Rain had already counted nine, and more were rising from behind the climbing monstrosity like a ghastly forest. 

Worse still, it was an Awakened abomination. She had aimed at the obvious vulnerability first — the eyes — but other than that, there wasn't a lot of damage she could do. Even if her arrows pierced the tough hide of the creature, it would not harm it too much.
