*Ducane moves forward through the snow to the creature and slashes with his sword with great power and reckless abandon. However, because of this, his attack just barely deflects harmlessly off the creature's thick hide. He then retreats the same distance he advanced and moves back partway to the cave, evading any possible counterattack with the sudden motion of his attack, forward and away in an instant.*
(OOC: Advance 5 feet (costs 10), attack misses because of Power Attack, retreat 15 feet (costs 30) towards the cave, so now in total he's 10 feet further back than before)
*The creature attacks again, a lumbering blow that should have no chance to hit a seasoned combat veteran but still manages to connect and knock Zack off his feet, unconscious.*
(OOC: Zack has 15 AC (13 in Rage) at level 7? Yikes! I guess full Power Attack until it misses for this monster is less of a stupid dumb-monster tactic than I thought. Anyway, 33 Damage, so he's at -6.
Ducane's turn)
