Braggart Corner/Gavadel vs. Behold

From LSWiki

Prince Ahab catches his big black whale

/ Old Behold thought he was hard / Against the noble Losthaven Guard/ Then Gav hoisted on his tabard / And then he bloody smacked him hard / And then he bloody smacked him hard! / And then he bloody smacked him hard! / And then he bloody smacked him hard! / Cos no one messes with the Losthaven Guard! - LH Guard song.

Second time with Dyne anchoring him in place and holding him up until I was ready. He'd been rampaging for quite a while by this point and my setup was only making him flee, not doing him any harm, more 'firepower' was needed. Fledge saved my life this time, during an earlier attempt, he'd mortally wounded her. But I hadn't given up just yet...
