[ Shoutout to Taako for playing the part of a good lookout. It's important to his continued survival. Finn turns back to face him immediately, follows the direction he's looking right after that, and ah.
Welcome to hell, yes, he can see why Taako sounded stressed about that one. That bad boy is way too close to his position for comfort. ]
On it!
[ He's pretty great with strategy, is the thing. Show him a battlefield, show him what needs done and what he has to work with, he'll manage to come up with something decent and worth trying. That's how he's worked since he first started training. This is a lot more on the fly and unprepared than usual, which is saying something, because his last couple of days back home were a hell of a thing.
Finn does what any self-respecting bodyguard escort mission friend would do, in lieu of time to really consider all the possible options. He runs directly towards it and starts shooting like he has no sense of self-preservation.
It's not the most super-effective method, as it's turning out, because he doesn't seem to be doing a ton of damage right off the bat, but it does draw a bit more attention than someone standing still to cast a spell. It's enough to get it to change tracks a little, shift direction to come meet him halfway.
The good news is, Finn can give Taako another minute of spell-holding and he can, eventually, shoot this thing to death. Probably through an eyeball. The less than ideal news is that it was just trying to take a bite out of perceived crime, by deconstructing it into bite-sized pieces with its dumb pointy appendages.
Finn is still in one piece, thanks to his trusty gun efforts. He's mostly yeeted himself on this one and is still probably set to bleed to death eventually, however. Will that stop him from trying and failing to push himself back up for a hot second? No. That's mostly because he's a dumbass. But consider: He Wants To Get Up And Therefore No One Can Criticize Him. ]
