Given that this was a _simple_ contest, I would probably say something like the tick managed to leap on the warrior and get his suckers in, but the warrior was rolling around and thrashing so much that the tick didn't finish the job, leaving the warrior lying on the ground, a little woozy, and maybe a fair bit embarrassed.

Alternately, if there were allies around, it could be said that the tick leaped on him, incapacitated him, starting sucking blood, but the others then saw it and chased it off, and afterwards the warrior is just a little woozy.

Now, if had been an extended contest, obviously the tick would have have gone for the parting shot to try and take him down to a deeper level of defeat, indicating more uninterupted feeding time.
