[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6667097, member: 11146"] Fulgrim, who remained in the hallway, peered down the hallway. The blood trail didn't end at the door presently being investigated; rather, it petered out for the most part, but Fulgrim spied a splatter ten feet to the south of the door. Roscoe crept into the room filled with sleeping orcs. The room was 15' square, and contained six orcs. With so many sleeping creatures inside it, the room had only enough space for three of the party to enter without being uncomfortably squeezed. Roscoe pointed the tip of his short sword at the unprotected neck of the sitting orc with the falchion across his lap, then leaned forward. The tip of his sword eased through the orc's neck like a hot knife through butter. The orc's eyes blinked open and stared at Roscoe, but it made no move to get up. The only sound the rapidly dying creature made was frothy gurgling as blood slid into its lungs. The orc raised a warty hand and clawed at its neck. A moment later, the orc's hand dropped to its side and the creature slumped, dead. [ooc]@Strahd_Von_Zarovich, I need you to clarify something. What's "Adv. Critical?"
