[Those are tentacles. Lots of black tentacles. Strong, black tentacles grabbing lizards and beating the blighting sense out of them. It's distracting enough to make Bryn watch for a second or two in shocked fascination--before two lizards evade Taako's grasp and head for her.
Sword at the ready, she waits for their approach, timing their speed just right. And when they're close enough, she leaps up and over the gaping jaws of one lizard, landing a foot solidly on it's head before continuing past. At the rear, she thrusts her blade forward toward the open mouth of the second lizard as it whirls around to lunge at her. She catches it at the roof of its mouth, and holds it there for a split second as it hisses in response. Jerking the blade free, she brings it down on its head, but only a moment before the second lizard smacks her with its tail.
Skilled as she is, she can't suddenly increase her mass or weight. She stumbles, giving the lizards a chance to recover. Half growling at the back of her throat, she cuts off the tail of the first lizard, and kicks the second away long enough to pierce the first one's side while it's in pain. A second, a third time, before turning back to the second. With Taako still upright so far as she can tell, she doesn't turn to watch. Merely calls out:] Still good?
