[sblock=OOC-attack?]You didn't list an attack on me. Can I assume it was the last one that isn't marked? If so, it only hit AC 16 and I'm an 18 so why did I lose 8 THP? [/sblock]

If that's the case, I'll go off and attack another target and leave you to take care of the dogs however you like Mri'Thas. Ts'iri's not going to protect you when you clearly aren't trying to help her kill the dogs(1). She's getting a sudden trauma about getting mauled while someone does the equivalent of poking them with a stick. Bitchy I know, but she's just afraid of being eaten alive while she waits for you kill it with a nerf bat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Mri'Thas had an establish dog phobia, there wouldn't be an issue (2). However, there hasn't been a single word, in game or OCC, about it until he didn't want to get close to the pack. If he were truly phobic, I'd have expected to hear about those horrible undead dogs after we won(3). In fact he was calm enough to put on a light show for 7 rabbits moments later.
OK, I see it the other way as Mri'thas is too prideful to admit that he is afraid of hounds so it WOULD be in character for him not mention anything and I would recommend that Ts'iri continues to urge on Mri'thas until he snaps out of it
If this was true then why say something now? Why not so proud now?(4)
However he said nothing like this in the last fight. Not a word about dogs. (5)(not even OCC that I remember) I'm sorry but it seems a bit convenient(6) to bring up a new fear after the fact with 0% background. I've tried seeing it from his point of view but if it was me, I'd at the very least have given a hint/clue of things to come.
This is no different than my saying I'm an expert blacksmith only after it becomes important in the adventure without saying a word about it and not having anything about it in my background. If I did, I'd expect someone to call me on it.(7)
I have a better plan. My initiative dropped to right before the dogs because of my delay. So I'll move out of the way and let the dogs maul him. If they keep attacking him in melee, he'll be forced to attack it in an effective way.![]()
I should say I'm not upset that Mri'Thas isn't attacking the dogs with thunderwave(8). Having a new phobia come out of the blue as the reason does. I'm also not happy that he's picked the least damaging attack he could make. Given the option of #1 a 1/2 damage attack, #2 a normal damage attack (attacking something inside) and #3 a normal attack +10 he's doing #1. If he's not going to help kill the dogs, he might as well do effective damage to the bad guys inside.(9)
