[QUOTE="Mark Chance, post: 5030927, member: 2795"] [b]Trial by Combat (Round 3)[/b] The cleric addressed by Curate Anselm hustles around the outside of the square to get to where he can reach the downed elf. The other human in Korax's party moves out of the cleric's way. Tiax rushes forward, shortbow in hand, drawing and nocking an arrow, which he lets fly at the half-elf. Unfortunately, he stumbles a bit on a loose stone, spoiling his aim. The arrow goes high and long, landing well away from Tiax's target. Lars's weapon strikes true, bruising flesh and drawing more blood. The human's smug look fades to hateful seriousness, but despite his injuries he looks ready to fight on. The explosion of fire engulfs the half-elf and the human, and both appear to take the full force of the magical attack. The human in particular shows the strain of his cumulative injuries. He shifts his position, thrusting with his short sword, but the attack is clumsy, ill-timed. The blade glances off a thicker part of Lars's armor, leaving the paladin unscathed. Orinar's powerful blow rocks the sturdy dwarf, almost dropping him to one knee and noticeably loosening his grip on his dwarven waraxe. The dwarf bellows in pain and anger, stumbling into something like a defensive position as Orinar retreats a few feet. Korax, however, refuses to follow. Instead, he holds forth his axe, which thrums with power as the dwarf chants in his native tongue. Orinar's weapon starts to shake in his grip. The half-elf leaps into a forward somersault, spring up adjacent to Lars. The half-elfs acrobatic attack and twisting thrust catch Lars off-guard in a weak spot of his armor. The blade bites deep, tearing muscle and scraping ribs. [i]OOC: End of the round. Next actions, please![/i] [sblock=Orinar] Will save vs. DC 15 against [i]shatter[/i] cast your greatsword. Failure means the weapon is destroyed. [/sblock] [sblock=Combat Box] Initiative Order: Tiax (17), Lars (17), Menno (16), Human (10), Orinar (8), Korax (8), Half-Elf (7) Lars: 10 lethal, 5 nonlethal.
