It was disconcerting to learn that Själ had no idea why her portals had butchered the flytraps. He could only imagine that whatever it was blocking her from leaving this place was responsible for the instability of the shorter range ones. He wondered why his spells seemed unaffected, though maybe that wasn't even true; maybe whatever effect there was on his magic just wasn't that overt since he'd only been casting relatively weak spells.
Aric was a skilled Galsterei, and with the Aether Reserves from two Galdr, he was still doing alright in terms of Aether. Most of his spellwork thus far had been cast at Journeyman or lower– the results of which were only as strong as they were because he was weaving both Aqua and Terra together to manipulate mud. As such, he looked just fine aside from a few cuts on his arms with his armor protecting him elsewhere from the sharp bits of the flytraps.
The next monster was something he wasn't wholly sure where to start with. He had always preferred to fight in melee, but close quarters combat did not seem like the best of ideas against those precarious looking bulbs. Whilst it was possible they might be filled with some harmless (albeit disgusting) bodily fluid, it seemed far more likely that they contained something harmful, like an acid or a poison. He was no healer, and far as he could tell, neither was Själ– acid burns or poisonous afflictions would be difficult for them to deal with without help.
Initially, it had its sights on Aric, lunging at him straight away when the other Fælnir took to the air. Aric leapt back, wanting to keep his distance. However, when Själ dropped the rock, it would bounce off the top of the larger piece of carapace on its head, and as it did so, the creature jerked its head and shoulders to look up at her. And from her view above, she would see that those pernicious balloons did appear to sprout from that head plate all the way 'round.
Though it was quite tall, it was a creature without wings. If Själ had flown high enough it wouldn't be able to reach, but it did try leaping to grab her. Failing this endeavor, it would appear enraged, and start pulling sacs from its head and throwing them at her like foul projectiles.
That being the case, Aric wasn't about to just stand by while it did this– it was only a matter of time until one of those rancid things hit her. Not sure how fragile the sacs were, he still really did not wish to go near it, and so he pulled a spear of soil from the ground and flung it through the air towards the softest looking part of the beast. Unfortunately, it was able to shift its weight, causing the spear to hit a harder part of its carapace, but it did manage to make a substantial crack in the thing's leg.
