[This will be slightly embarrassing later, but that's later. For now, Eustace notices the shift in the ice golem's attention, but again he needs to keep his focus so he doesn't have time to ponder over it. He, too, would have preferred open area given the nature of his skills, but he's had to deal with worse environments. Not to mention he has some reason for continuing to draw it back.
And at least one of them pays off when Daqiang appears, successfully slicing an arm off. He wasn't sure if the man would take the opportunity to run or not and he had been prepared for either, but this is the better outcome. As the ice golem reels to turn around and face its new assailant, Eustace takes the opportunity and fires a stronger charged shot, the lightning piercing through and shattering its leg where he had already weakened it, the electricity spreading over to crackle around its lower half as if to paralyze it.
Yet this partial victory won't last long, as blue snow and ice are quickly forming around its shoulders, indicating it attempting to regenerate the lost limbs.]
