Unfortunately, as he learned from his encounter with the ogre's, trying to sneak behind such a beast isn't worth the possible attack, so instead he dives straight in, slashing the brute with his sword.The minotaur turns its ire on the soldier, obviously angered by the wound, and chops powerfully with its axe. The blow strikes true, and is a most savage one, nearly putting Trevor down. Somehow, despite the bloody wound and strength of the hit, the soldier remains on his feet...Seeing the serious blows handed out by the Minotaur, Verdis feels no need to move closer. He lobs and eldritch blast, striking the creature with a ball of arcane energy.The paladin's heart raced as the adrenalin coursed through his veins -- the blow from the greataxe was mighty, and he didn't think he could survive another. Looking around the room, he saw no other option but to get out of range of the wicked blade. His shield and sword poised in a defensive stance, he steps shakily backwards and then channels the divine power of his Lord to heal him of his wounds.Knowing from prior experience with the ogre that the minotaur needs to be taken down fast, and being unable to reach Coraine, Kurt closes quickly with the beast, using whatever cover he can, and lashes out with his longsword. The blade strikes, cutting through grey studded leather armor and the beast's thick hide, but doing little damage to the brute besides further enraging it."Gah!" cries Ragnok, charging forward, axe held high overhead. "No be likin' me cows wid axes! I likes dem cookin'o'er da fir!" The axe tears deep into the minotaur, spray blood, but doesn't put the creature down.Dara rushes forward to aid her companions, but slips on a splatter of Coraine's blood, and almost goes down right in front of the great brute. Still, she manages to maintain balance, but her attack is spoiled.22 Trevor - 5' step, longsword vrs Minotaur 27 (success), damage 920 Minotaur - greataxe vrs Trevor 26 (success), damage 2217 Verdis - eldritch blast vrs Minotaur 21 (success), damage 1017 Coraine - 5' step; lay on hands for 12 points12 Kurt - move, longsword vrs Minotaur 17 (success), damage 58 Ragnok - charge action, 2 pt. power attack vrs Minotaur 17 (success), damage 165 Dara - move, falchion vrs Minotaur "1" (failure)PC StatusDara 26/29Verdis 22/22Trevor 08/30Kurt 31/31Coraine 27/36Ragnok 41/41NPC StatusMinotaur -40</blockquote>
