[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 1428191, member: 10109"] [b]Round 5 (con't)[/b] Marcus ducks and thrusts with his weapon, but he can't get by his opponents wide sheild. He feels he has really seen better days, as the studded club deflects off his helmet, sending his head spinning (4 pts dmg) Brioc responds grimly in Druidic, but his blade probably carries more weight, as it opens another nasty cut in his reptilian opponent (another 19 points). Tullius manages to catch the Croc a glancing blow on the head, and takes out one of its eyes. It's starting to look pretty bad. It bites out at its torturer, catching Tullius' left arm in its mouth. Tullius pulls away, leaving his forearm in ribbons (9 pts dmg). Mendicus, seeing Brioc facing the main opponent alone (at least initially), finally acts, threading his way across the room to his side, still carrying his torch and sword. Ehldannis shoots again at Gruk, and again misses, as he must try to avoid hitting his friends. Octar deftly spins away from the thrashing croc, and steps to Brioc's side. Seeing an opening, he thrusts his sword deep into Gruk's side. As black blood spills out, the shamen crumples to the ground, gasping weakly "[COLOR=Black]No! Wait...[/COLOR]" [I]I'll assume Dhormium, sensing the direction of battle, stays for one more swing for retreating for his spell.[/I] Dhormium, seeing the half-blind croc turning him a blind eye, brings his axe down hard, severing its spine. It dies with a gurgle. Ehldannis' fiendish wolf bites the dying creature & shakes it. Round 6 Marcus swings his short sword, only vaguely aware of the events in other parts of the room. Again, his blade clanks ineffectively off the hide sheild. Stumbling forward, he sees the club descending at his head. but suddenly, the lizardman stiffens, and crashes forward, Tullius' axe in the back of its head. An uneasy silence falls, and the orange glow of Brioc's black blade dims. <combat ends> [I]Everyone except Ehldannis and Mendicus is injured. Quick HP summary for those not keeping track: Marcus 12, Brioc 9, Tullius 5, Octar 13, Dhormium 20, wolf 4[/I] [/QUOTE]
