What if we trapped them there and pelted them with arrows without risk for us?"Lumrolur slides down the wall with parting explanation."If you create an ambush and kill something before it can harm you, is it the same as this?"Approaching the sleeping mother, his eyes flicker toward the group. He regrets letting Vorr our against the father and keeps tight control on his feelings. Regret is good. This needs to be quick and painless. Distant. Merciful.He stands, unsure, loading the bolt in his crossbow. Should he spare the child? Hide the killing? But the spell will wear off. And the enemy left behind...and it is questionable if the child wouldn't just die without support of the adults. Prolonging misery is not something he would do. But he doesn't know.With leaden arms, he puts the bolt right next to the closed eye and pulls the trigger. The bolt disappears into the brain, the body spasms, shakes and lays still. At the same time, dark shadows rise around the child in a fine mesh of darkness, pulling its life in the wake of mothers soul.One bolt. Two deaths. One grieving gnome.[spoiler=Internal monologue]"GOOD WORK! YOU'LL BE A KILLER YET!""You had to do it. You're better equipped for that than the soft people of the surface, you're sparing them too."[/spoiler]His internal voices echo inside as Lumrolur sighs and slowly returns to the group."Do what you will with the corpses, they don't care anymore. I cannot watch it."[spoiler=Actions]Move + Bonus: Dash next to yetiAction: coup de grace: 14 damage to mother yeti, wails from the grave vs child 5 damage<a href="https://rolz.org/info?21eevep0ac:lpl1nxx8" target="_blank">neurotic:  2D20H1  + 5#lumrolurvsmotheryeti → 24(high 1 of 19; 15 = 19 + 5)#Lumrolur vs mother yeti</a><a href="https://rolz.org/info?21eevep0ac:lpl1py4b" target="_blank">neurotic:  2D4 + 3 + 2D6#lumrolurcritdamage → 14( (4 +3)  + 3 +  (3 +1) )#Lumrolur crit damage</a><a href="https://rolz.org/info?21eevep0ac:lpl1qc2n" target="_blank">neurotic:  2D6#lumrolurdamagevschild → 5(4 +1)#Lumrolur damage vs child</a>[/spoiler]</blockquote>
