He'd try to heed Koishi's advice again, and keep his guard up. The electric skeleton had taught him that there's more to these creatures than meets the eye. Who knew what they were capable of? Thankfully they were fairly large, and Ted wouldn't have a hard time landing his shots with one hand. While wielding his bag in the other, he filled the gargoyle with a few bits of holy lead. "It would seem their tactics are already decided." They were tough creatures, unrelenting in their assault. And what an assault! The gargoyle picked up Slogra in its talons, the bird-beast with its spear pointed below, ready to strike. Ted got a good impression of what was coming, eyes fixated as he ran along the room. Gaibon flapped its imposing wings before releasing Slogra, its spear embedding itself in the ground. Just the ground, luckily; Ted had rolled out of the way and avoided an unpleasant skewering. He fired another shot at the grounded Slogra, actually causing it to flinch this time. No matter; Gaibon picked it up to begin the cycle anew.

Ted took a breath, unsure if their combination boded well or ill. How long could he keep this up?
