[Matt goes down in a pile immediately, and Estinien is fairly certain that he's come across one of the Kenoma's noncombatants. In other circumstances, he might feel somewhat bad for engaging so viciously, but not when the life of a young man is on the line, and not when there's a chance that he could take their shard and remove them as a threat indefinitely.
This means that his next move is to draw his lance, lifting it above him with the full intent to deliver a killing blow on Matt right then and there. It's a small mercy that Paul arrives on the scene: that killing blow is diverted towards blocking those knives, metal clashing against metal as he expertly deflects each strike. His mastery is still in melee comment, his new bestial accouterments aside.
In the meantime, his long spiked tail attempts to worm its way around Matt, preventing him from fleeing as his claw talons dig into flesh. He snarls.]
