[End of discussion then. Keith looks down at Cosmo, and the two of them disappear then reappear on the roof with the fourth alien. He's not going to waste time here, not when Steak's got his hands full with the three down below. Keith charges the squid alien from behind, sword raised high above his head as he brings it down hard on its armored shell.
The creature twists, lashing out with several tentacles. This time, Keith's prepared for this tactic, crouching low to aim a sweeping kick at its fleshy legs to take it down. The blow connects and though the creature is knocked off balance. Not wanting to lose what little advantage that might present, Keith lunges again, hoping to stab right into a fleshier part of the creature, but these things have ridiculous reflexes, and his sword arm gets caught in its appendages with enough force to shatter bone. Good thing he's wearing armor.
The creature wrests the sword of his hand and takes a swing at his head. Luckily for Keith, he gets to keep his head because the bayard deactivates as the sword is ripped out of his hands, but not so luckily, as the tentacle whips across his face, it leaves a bloody gash nonetheless.]
Shit.
[Things going badly. Who'd have thought. In a burst of focus, the bayard rematerializes is his hands and he takes a left handed swing at the tentacles, this time managing to sever a few, causing the creature to let go of him. Ignoring the fact that his face stings like hell right now, Keith shouts down.]

Steak, you hanging on there?
