The skeleton warriors hardest hit by the last round's assault, the ones fighting Angus, Kain and Jack, are the first to swing a their foes. Each of them, nearer to death than the others (well, destruction) lunges with all their might at the three adventurers.
[sblock=Angus, Kain, Jack]
Angus: 11 damage
Kain: miss!
Jack: 10 damage[/sblock]
The other four see Keepiru as their major target, and Julius, and swipe at them with their massive swords.
[sblock=Keepiru, Julius]
Keepiru: 15 and 9 = 24 damage (sorry dude; at least they didn't power attack)
Julius: 9 and 9 = 18 damage [/sblock]
The Skeletons are fast, and move up to their targets to hit and then move back against the wall, leaving a gap between themselves and the reach of their opponents. ((ie: you have to move up to them to attack))
Those of you who understand combat tactics as the science they are, can tell that this mobility is a dangerous yet effective tactic. These guardians are fierce, and maybe be tougher than you had expected!
