[/LIST] [B]Round 2:[/B] [LIST] [*]Parren [I]fireballs[/I] both warriors (excluding the party) for 37 fire damage. (one saves, the other fails). [*]Hrothkar strikes twice for a total of 24 piericng damage. [*]Vermin fires her light crossbow and hits once for 16 piercing damage. [*]Skeletal Knight hits Hrothkar with its enervating blade attack for 13 necrotic damage, a second time for 18 damage, then once more for 16 damage [*]Tordek uses his reaction to strike the Skeletal Knight for 9 damage [*]The second Knight attacks Hrotkhar three times for 15, 14 and 17 damage.
