Finding his last maneuver had actually been successful, Waits sought an opportunity to deploy it a second time. With the least bit of effort possible. This meant a dodge that was barely executed and finding a position that seemed to have the best angle as soon as possible.
Once again, however, he felt those sharp claws dig into his shoulder and an interesting sensation fill him. But, this gave him an opening. He whirled the rope dart once again, almost in the same spot as the last time and pulled downward. The hole ripped larger.

It was then that the weight of the rain finally caught up with Waits. His layers had collected enough to momentarily halt him in moving and the ground finally began to give way under his bony feet. The horsemen slipped in another attempt to avoid being hit by the dragon overhead, roaring at those who it faced. He took a direct hit from it against his back, his throat rattled annoyed and he managed to roll out of the way before the dragon stomped down on him with a foot.
Aa, now he was wet and muddy. Though, he paid it no mind. His sights were still on the creature. Now he was determined to gain a piece of it. For science.

Being closer to the ground had its uses at first, slightly quicker escapes with a lot less effort needed; thanks to rolling. Its attacks seemed to have increased, as if it were frantic and annoyed from the assault from the group. Its easy prey was not seeming to go down as it had hoped. But Waits was having his own problematic realization of sorts. His line only had so many feet on it. Despite how low the dragon would go.
It forced him back to his feet, always spinning the cording to the dart and set his next attack into motion. The dragon orchestrated its own, catching the horsemen once again in the back with the weight of a wing. It sent his desired target - the wing again, a little more vulnerable than the rest of the creature - off course and into a knee instead. Still, it seemed effective as he pulled down again as he had done before.
The desired results for the rest of the group was most likely completed as with one last roar, the dragon departed with its rain. But Waits was not pleased, he had failed in gaining a sample of the beast and the more of the effects it seemed to bestow upon them as they made contact.
Without so much of a farewell to the others, Waits left. Perhaps in pursuit of the dragon once more.

Since the dragon has already left, nothing of interest occurred.
