Heart of Artifice: Part I--Engineered Enigma

[Patlin]

Anvuss is dismayed to see his shot go astray, when he had been sure he had his opponent dead to rights.

The attack continues... (1d20+5=23, 1d8+3=11)

...and Anvuss brings the morningstar down in an even better attack.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Anvuss's attack misses again, as does that of his opponent.*

(OOC: Anvuss's turn again)

 

[Patlin]

He's very good. I might not be able to beat him in a fair fight. Maybe I can outsmart him.

Anvuss will try a Feint (1d20+1=9), opposed by his opponents sense motive check.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Anvuss's opponent reads his feint and strikes a supremely lucky defensive blow, slamming into Anvuss.*

(OOC: Yay for 20! Anvuss takes 6, Anvuss's turn)

 

[Patlin]

Another Feint (1d20+1=2)

Anvuss's basicly honest nature is doing him a disservice.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Anvuss's opponent detects the feint, and as Anvuss's feint begins, he strikes less defensively in an attempt to have a better chance to hit. Still, Anvuss's enemy clanks against the adamantine plating.*

 

[Patlin]

Morningstar Attack (1d20+5=17, 1d8+3=9)

Action Point (1d6=5)

Total of 22 for 9 damage.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Ooo, after the 23 missed, I would not have APed there )

*Anvuss's opponent makes a defensive strike that misses but barely deflects Anvuss's as well.*

(OOC: Anvuss's turn)

 

[Patlin]

ooc: I wasn't sure how much "less defensively" the last attack was.

Feint (1d20+1=11)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: It doesn't matter--he's readying, so it depends on the other attack If the feint is successful, since the fluff on feints is fake attacks, I'll have him believe it's a real attack and fight defensively through it )

*Anvuss's assailant barely catches the feint for what it is, and he responds with a less defensive attack, but he still misses.*
