[A roar, a whoosh of air, two meaty thunks against the ground.]
-chipping the edge of my sword on the spine of a remarkably stupid beast-
[Here, he breaks off again, and there's another sound of impact. Boot against skull this time?] Stay down.
-with feeble aspirations of reaching the top of the food chain.
