[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6778884, member: 23484"] [ooc]It is not clear to me why Solace, armed with a weapon, did not use it to attack last round. Sorry, everyone.[/ooc] A trained soldier works on instinct. She's done a thing so many times that when under pressure, in combat, it becomes an instinctual response, and not one that requires decisions at every stage. Solace is not a warrior in that sense, and her fight training is mostly rehearsed and choreographed katas, allowing her to dance in her moves. She is surprised to discover that she is armed. She'd given away her club -- hadn't she? Where did this knife come from? Kamael? She didn't know, but the orc was now in front of her on the rope bridge and the huge shaggy creature next to her was still a threat. Though she was shackled, she stabbed out at the Quaggoth, hoping to stop it. To hit: [roll0]. If successful, damage = [roll]1d4+2d6+2[/roll] (with sneak attack). (decisions on movement and bonus action depend on the results of the attack) [sblock=Solace 21/21] [size=+1][url=http://40.media.tumblr.com/a48bcd4d28fe1ca7699407e93bd50c3a/tumblr_nktb74Zsgs1rfyiu4o1_1280.jpg]Solace[/url][/size], Aasimar Rogue Tanner 3 (Swashbuckler) [color=blue][b]Initiative:[/b][/color] +5; [color=blue][b]AC:[/b][/color] 12; [color=blue][b]HP:[/b][/color] [color=red]21[/color]/21 (3d8); [color=blue] [b]Speed:[/b][/color] 30 ft; [color=blue][b]Inspiration:[/b][/color] Yes.
