The crusaders encircled the wounded and dead, lightsabers at the ready. Those with shields provided extra cover from the creatures as they began to descend on the party. Heinrich found himself forced to quickly duck under the swiping arm of one of the beasts, barely missing decapitation. One of the crusaders next to him manage to block the blow with the shield, giving Heinrich a moment to strike. His lightsaber lashed out with an upward thrust to the underside of the beast's arm, follow by a slice cutting up the middle toward the creature's shoulder. The creature roared in pain for a moment, only to be healed shortly after. Geiseric had been in a similar situation, prompting him to tell the others to alter their strategy.
Heinrich's feet began to move, and as he bolted for the creature he had just cut, he ducked under another aggressive swing. His body lowered, and he slid toward the beast along the icy ground. His destination was at the base of the creature's leg, where he promptly cleaved through at the knee, or at least, what resembled a knee. As the creature was thrown off balance, Heinrich threw forth his free hand, pushing it to the ground with the Force. It wasn't long after that the Blade of Ession was upon the beast once again, climbing onto its fallen body and hacking away at its torso.
"I hope you're right about this, Geiseric! These things are tough!"
As soon as he spoke, two others began to approach, prompting Heinrich to almost instinctively throw his emerald lightning in their direction. With any luck, he would be able to take down all three for good. They weren't sure how many of these things resided within this frozen place, so they would have to move quickly. Heinrich just hoped there weren't more lurking deeper within the cave.
