[on the plus, any projectile Emery lobs his way won't hurt him, so no harm there. and any musical thunk it might land off the guardian's can rattle it enough for Zel to try and stay upright without such a dedicated mauling.
he reaches up and grabs at what he can of the mass on his back, prompting the return to said mauling, but at least Zel can wrench one of the offending arms free; the tear at the inside of his cheek destabilizes some of the stone on the surface of his face, prompting cracks that fill with blood near as fast as they're made.
that's a new sensation for sure.
Zel reels, tilting and dropping hard on the affected side, rolling so his stone weight pins the creature down beneath him as he coughs and snarls in pain. it also gives him a chance to feel around his waist for his sword.
he's gotta kill this thing. clearly.
(unless reason cuts in before he starts the cutting, of course)]
