He stands in a a dimly lit basement, the walls of which are adorned with various weapons and armor. The young half-elf is facing off against a trio of training dummies under the watchful eye of a bearded old man."Again!", the man shouts, angrily tapping his cane against the ground. Lorik tightens his grip and charges forward, cutting down the training dummies one at a time. He barely has time to wipe the sweat from his brow before a strong THWACK from the old man's cane sends him sprawling to the ground."Too slow, you're doing it too slow!", the elderly man shouts, spittle flying from his mouth as Lorik picks himself up from the ground. "In the time it took you to fell those men, you were killed twice. When facing multiple foes, your attacks must be swift! And fluid! One swing of your sword must lead into the next. There must be no time to react, no hesitation between one strike and the next. Now, but those enemy soldiers back together and try it again!"*flash*Lorik tightens his grip on his longsword and spits angrily at the ground. Wielding it in two hands, he sprints forward and makes a horizontal cut aimed at one of the drakes. He continues his momentum from the attack, spinning forward to strike again at the nearby gnome. Again, he follows the momentum of his sword, twirling as he brings his sword down on the elven archer."And THAT'S how it's done!"[sblock=Actions]This should make our lives easier.Free Action: change grip on longsword (+1 damage from using two hands)Minor Action: noneMove Action: shift to N5Standard Action: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2060722/" target="_blank">Tempest Dance</a>. I forgot to add the +1 when I made those rolls, but I didn't want to waste 'em. First attack is a 21 to hit for 10 damage against the drakes. Lorik then shifts one square to O5 and makes a second attack against the gnome. 26 to hit, 9 damage. He then shifts one square again to P5 and makes a third and final attack against the elf archer. 19 to hit, 10 damage. The drakes, the gnome, and the archer are all marked.
