      With a cry, Ravenwood, now out of arrows, leapt into the fray, swinging his broadsword. Hacking and chopping with abandon, he threw all caution to the wind and set about the beast. With a mighty two-handed swing he completely severed one of the wyvern’s wings. A follow-up chop sliced a great gash down its flank. Dark greenish blood spattered.
