Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 4514332" data-attributes="member: 13966">Warren, HP 37/44, AC 25, Assassin's Stance, invisible(OOC: Just figured I'd get it posted now, though it doesn't occur until after Tyrla's action)Warren thinks in annoyance 'Damn, I shouldn't have killed that ogre so quick, I gave this freak room to move in.  Pender's in awful shape and I'm the only one close enough to help against the freak....'  Warren shifts his focus a bit, looking for vital points instead of ways to overcome the giant's size advantage.He tries to roll between the two-headed giant's legs and get behind it, then lashes out with his blade after a quick gesture to evoke a shadowy copy of it for just a moment.  However, he bumps into the ettin's leg through a miscalculation in his tumble, and has to strike from there, worried...."Retreat, Pender!  Someone else help!" he calls out while stumbling away from the ettin's leg.[sblock=ooc]Minor mistake with my last pair of attacks; when I changed to Giant Killing Style, my Shadow Blade feat no longer applied, since it's not a Shadow Hand stance, so Warren actually dealt 4 less damage with both of those attacks.  I totally forgot about Shadow Blade's limitation when I rolled those attacks, ugh.  Still, the 30+ damage he dealt was probably enough to drop the ogre....Swift action stance change to Assassin's Stance (so Shadow Blade feat resumes working).  Attempted a Tumble check to move through its space, got a cruddy 14 instead of the 25 necessary, so he failed to move.  Only his invisibility keeps him from drawing an AoO.  Used his remaining standard action to initiate Shadow Blade Technique against the ettin.Since I rolled a 20 and a 25 for the attack rolls, I'll take the 20 as the real sword's attack and the 25 as the shadow blade's attack.  So either he hits for 20 piercing damage and 4 cold damage, or he misses altogether.  With the ettin unable to see Warren, that should suffice, I'm guessing.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1775501/" target="_blank">Tumble through ettin's space, DC 25 (1d20+14=17)</a> <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1775531/" target="_blank">Short sword vs Ettin, base damage, sneak attack damage, Shadow Blade Technique extra roll, possible cold damage if both hit, using Greater Invisibility and Assassin's Stance (1d20+13=20, 1d4+5=9, 3d6=11, 1d20+13=25, 1d6=4)</a> [/sblock]</blockquote>
