>The behemoth's tail is fast approaching, due to it turning around in mid-air to chase you.

>You reverse direction as its jaws continue to descend toward you, closing a fair amount of distance before you can fully reverse directions. You try to get underneath its body, but only have some success as the behemoth shifts away, circling through the air to reach you. You manage to get under what you estimate to be the last fourth of its length or so, as it barely a yard behind you.

>You leave a few more shots. The behemoth is too close to dodge around them, and instead turns aside quickly, drawing back.
>Passing underneath it, you curve around and stab into its side! The blade sinks in, with the feeling of cords cutting. You draw it along the behemoth's side, opening another long gash before it can jerk away. The wound you open is largely dark, much of the purple glow from before is simply a few blotches in a kind of inky grayness that borders on black.
