Liiros staggers for a moment from the lucky crossbow bolt that managed to get between plates of his armor and bury itself deep..... The elf grunts in pain.
Just before Lytha tries to persuade the rider to hand over his horse, Liros steps forward and gets in front of Torrent for now, hacking again at the mounted longbowman with his longsword. Liiros takes a firm, sturdy stance just before striking, and tries to draw strength from the earth as Corellon has taught him in his nightly trances.
"what good is gold if you don't live to spend it, knave? Surrender now and leave with your lives!" the elf warns as he hits flesh again and draws blood once more, as his own flesh hardens like stone for a few moments under Corellon's gifts.
[sblock=OOC]Ouch! All these 8-hp hits are wearing me down.....shoulda used the Crusader's Strike on myself and the Martial Spirit on Korrin last round..... And when does Torrent get her action? She's not unconscious, is she?
Since Liiros technically goes right after the bandits in Initiative, I assume he hits the rider before Lytha's Suggestion attempt.
5-foot step diagonally to get in front of Torrent and have better line of sight to the enemy archers, so Liiros can gauge how soon he could reach them. Then initiate Stone Bones with an attack on the mounted longbowman. Liiros gets DR 5/adamantine for 1 round if he hits and also heals himself for 2 more HP if he hits.
Got a 17 to hit, for 4 damage this time. Well, at least it's a hit! Adding the 2 HP to Liiros now since I'm sure (given that the 16 hit last round).
1d20+5=17, 1d8+2=4
Liiros is granted Vanguard Strike this round.
