Dropping Thud to -5 hp.  Thud is now dying and must roll a d% in six ticks or lose another hp.  Whipped into a towering fury Soirin lands a solid blow with his falchion, slicing a massive gash through Thud's armor and laying open a great bleeding slice deep into the muscles of his chest ribs visible in the cut.</blockquote>
