...I hate you guys.
[13 vs 2] You kneel down as the Colossus turns it's attention back to you. It's maw opens, showing dozens of razor sharp teeth that gleam dark gray, dripping with infectious ooze. You pour your willpower into the earth, putting everything you have into it.
[20] And everything that you hope happens does. A massive sharp spike splits out of the plaza's cracked and torn surface, spiking Ito the creature's face.
Out of the corner of your eye, you notice something emerge from the rubble. William staggers to his feet, his helmet off as blood pools beneath him from his shredded torso. He still holds his las-rifle, albeit in one hand, as the other hangs limply from his side. He staggers, before his legs lock, his body tilting forward.
It screams, a gout of gray ooze pouring from the grievous impalement. It rips part of it's body out from the spike, ripping a deeper wound in itself that pours ooze to the ground below. It screams again, chest filling with air as tentacles lash out at you.
