Garruk barreled into it from the side. The impact should have knocked the howl-back over, but it was too big, or maybe the curse had beaten all Garruk’s efforts to fight it off. He staggered back, shaking himself, and grabbed his axe. He swung it, chopping off one of the monster’s arms. A pulse of red lightning—Rowan’s lightning!—shot back out of its maw to flash through the axe. Garruk stumbled back, sinking the haft of his weapon in the ground as the spell discharged into him but did not topple him. The beast scuttled backward up the bridge. Garruk sprang after it, and with a powerful slash cut off two more of its arms.
