OOC: I've used the standard srd gnoll + skeleton monster entries below. Disregard this post if it is not correct. Forgot improved initiative, but Ogrin is first anyway.
Ogrin keeps his focus on the skeleton. "Hello, Boney. Care to dance?" As soon as the black king makes his move, Ogrins springs into action, charging his opponent. The blow bounces off the skeletons ribcage, and it reciprocates with a blow that the stalwart halfling easily deflects with his shield.
It might be that the halfling was overconfident, or perhaps it was just a stroke of bad luck. His next strike misses, while his boney opponents axe slices through clothes, armour and skin. Ogrin barely avoids a serious injury to his sword arm by retreating a few steps back to his own square. The halflings next attack is feeble, and the axe comes down again, cutting into his chest. His armor stops the the worst of the attack, but blood runs through the links of his chainmail. Again, he is pushed back a few steps towards the square the skeleton seeks to occupy.
A fury comes over the halfling, and he swings wildly at his opponent. A crack is heard, and pieces of the dog-like skeltons pelvis is broken loose. This does little to hinder it and the hyena-like creature slices a his miniscule opponent. Ogrin dodges the blow and lands another blow the the creatures rib cage which shatters. Boney reels from the blow and its attack misses by a mile. Ogrin takes advantage of the creatures lack of balance, and shatters its spine. Whatever magical force held it together is destroyed, and pieces of bone fly all over the square, then disappear. Ogrin bends to pick up a small, black pawn and returns to his own square, blood dripping down his arm and chest.
"They're tough as bones, they are."
HP: 35/52
