The sphere thrower is dying or dead already by the time Skellig starts to get to his feet. (It might be a good idea to grab that pouch with the spheres in case anyone ELSE gets any bright ideas.)
Kreyu is pulling out feathers with her beak, her talons, trying to get that stuff OFF! She feels so very vulnerable, helpless, and it HURTS.
One of the men approaching her is bolder than the others, takes a swing at her with a long pole and hits a wing. The bright spike of PAIN from the blow spurs her to lash out at the man, but she misses. He laughs when she misses hitting him, either from being adrenaline drunk from the situation or from actually finding her pain amusing.
