Centaurs VS Thing

"DODGE!!!" Jack cried out as the assault began. 

Dark tentacles slammed at them, cleaving a Centaur to pieces. This thing was STRONG! The enemy remained on the statue's head, akin to an evil turret of doom.

"Block the entrance! Make it collapse!" Jack screamed toward his troops. 

They all heard, but so did the creature. It seemed to viciously smile as it began hammering the pathway leading to the entrance.
