[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3769888, member: 11146"] Kaeleen peeks out from behind her column again. Quickly and expertly firing two arrows at HG2, Kaeleen watches as her first arrow misses and lands unscathed beyond the pack of hobgoblins standing at the doors. Kaeleen's second arrow has better luck; the projectile lances into HG2's shoulder where the creature's leathers end, [COLOR=Red]dealing 7 points of damage to HG2.[/COLOR] Cursing Talgren for a fool, Karl quickly steps out from behind his column to stand beside the youth. Karl's short sword dances a cutting arc, distracting the dull-witted hobgoblin. The creature watches with fascination as Karl whips the shiny blade. Realizing too late its predicament, the hobgoblin groans in shock and pain as Karl slices its left arm free of its torso. Having severed both limb and artery, [COLOR=Red]Karl deals 17 points of damage to HG2.[/COLOR] The hobgoblin drops its longsword and, clutching at the stump that was its shoulder, topples to the floor.
