[QUOTE="larryfinnjr, post: 5696690, member: 99210"] Kvatch... ...in grandiose slow-motion goodness, rises from the ground, shaking off the lingering cobwebs in his brain from Mal's last onslaught. He watches his prey scamper off to hide behind some dwarf - it appears he may be seeing the rest of the party for the first time. Unpurturbed, he glances back over his shoulder, gives Bledso a barking order, and turns and charges after the drow, striking at him through the dwarf. [sblock=1st attack] charge w/ reach (glaive) - I looked up in the compendium regarding cover and found this: "neither allies nor enemies give cover against melee, close, or area attacks"; so no protection from cover. However, he is subject to Falk's aura. So the net penalty is -1 hit (-2 from aura, +1 for charge). THIS WAS WHERE I ROLLED THE DICE. Falk swings MBA and connects, triggering Takedown Strike too - technically all this happens before Kvatch's blow lands. So, now he loses the charge bonus for his attack and is attacking from the prone. So now he's got another -3 to the attack at this point, and that brings the roll down to a 22, still a hit on Mal. [/sblock] Kvatch's blow lands hard and deep, once again slicing into the drow, opening him up like a ripe fruit. This would have brought Kvatch great joy if it weren't for the jolt of pain surging through his skin...somehow the midget harmed him. Adding insult to injury, somehow it also had the termacity to swing at him, catching him squarely in the leg, nearly colllapsing it at the knee. As Falk yanks the axe, he pulls with such force to cause Kvatch even MORE dmg and the knee finally gives way, dropping him to his knees. Though he was soundly determined to decapitate the drow with his next blow, the dwarf manages to distract him long enough to make himself the target of Kvatch's wrath. The orc chokes up on the glaive and brings it across Falk's legs, drawing blood. Even prone, Kvatch nearly lies eye-to-eye with the dwarf, cocking his head to the side and growling at him. [sblock=2nd attack] The AP Warrior's Surge should only have been +9 to hit (from the prone), but still connects at a 23.
