"I don't know how long that's gonna hold it!" Spud cried. "Get ready!" It didn't hold the first fire hound for too long, because no sooner had the creature gotten tied up its partner immediately breathed fire on it. The vines were immediately incinerated and the fire hound bound to its feet--smoking a little but otherwise looking none the worse for wear!
Suddenly, two of them charged at Ral! The Monk connected with a spinning kick to the head of the first hound that came at him, sending the creature sprawling to the ground in a sea of pain. The second one, however, latched onto Ral's right arm as the Monk wrestled on the ground with the animal.
