Neverwinter Forest chaos is a ladder

Miss.

Vaati barrels her over easily, but she is stronger than she appears, and successfully holds her ground for many moments before pushing a last-ditch attempt at swiping at anything and everything she could with her jaws. And she does, nicking him multiple times, however, the position they are in does not allow her the advantage of fully taking his skin in her canines. She barricades herself from him, pushing against his weight and in turn, disallowing him to use his teeth as well. Snapping at her face, he knows, will not get him anywhere. He backs off momentarily only to rush in again by repositioning his attack and aiming down for her neck. The need to end her life isn't as prominent in his current desires, not so much as the simple need to get her away from his kill. If she chose to run, she very well could, and Vaati would not have the drive to chase her and the only thing that saves her from that fate is because he knows it is not in her intent to kill him. She is fighting for survival now; he, his food.
