Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tellerian Hawke" data-source="post: 8267483" data-attributes="member: 6790669">Angus frowns in consternation at the sonic attack; his ears ring momentarily, but he shakes it off. He's had worse. He remembers the time that Duncan Skullbane, a Half Ogre fur trader he knew in his youth, came for a visit; after a round of boasting and bragging, they'd made a bet for a table keg of ale over an arm wrestling contest between themselves. Angus had won, fair and square, but Duncan was sore, and a fist fight had ensued. Any one of the five or so punches that Duncan had landed hurt worse than this (Duncan's blows were more than twice the amount of "oomf.") And in fact, it wasn't until young Angus had knocked Duncan out that the affair was settled. Duncan's observation, upon waking, was that Angus was truly strong to be able to take as many blows to the face and head as he did, and still manage to accomplish such a feat. The two became fast friends after that. But this cultist wasn't going to be as lucky.[Spoiler=Comparison]The spell inflicted 2 pts. damage. (1d8 or 1-8)Duncan, being Large, with a 21 STR, inflicted 1d6+5, or 6-11 pts. per hit.  Duncan's AVERAGE damage (8 pts.) was the max damage that this spell was capable of. Ouch. LOL <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😛" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" title="Face with tongue    :stuck_out_tongue:" data-shortname=":stuck_out_tongue:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />[/spoiler]The lance catches the cultist in the right shoulder, easily piercing the thick, rolled fibers of his protective robes, finding plenty of flesh to rend and tear! The cultist squirts blood like a leaky bucket, as he cries out in agony, and begins to back-peddle. Despite the seriousness of the wound, and his stumbling for two and a half steps, he maintains his balance, and does not fall.[ooc] Angus hits AC 29, and inflicts 18 pts. of damage. [/ooc]However, the cultist immediately realizes that in physical combat, he is greatly out-matched by the centaur. A look of panic crosses his countenance, as he realizes that he shall not survive more than one or two additional blows from his mighty opponent.</blockquote>
