(Minotaur charge hits AC <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591256/" target="_blank">27</a>, 17 damage to Razh.)Rasereit, wild dwarf that he is, laughs even as he coughs up blood.  A crazed look in his eyes, he smashes the flask on the minotaur's head.  The force of the hit causes the liquid flame to shoot upward and mostly miss the minotaur.  In fact, Rasereit takes as much damage from the fire as the bull-man.  Rasereit plants his feet in the minotaur's face and yanks himself free of its horns.  He lands easily, and draws his waraxe. (AlchF atk hits AC <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591258/" target="_blank">20</a>, 1 damage to both Rasereit and the Minotaur.)Round 2:The minotaur, ignoring the large fire that has caught on its hairy mane (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591270/" target="_blank">Alchemist's fire</a> deals another 6 damage to Minotaur), brings its huge greataxe to bear on the smallish dwarf before it.  The first swing, Rasereit barely manages to <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591265/" target="_blank">deflect</a> with his shield, but the second has <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591265/" target="_blank">less strength</a> behind it than the first.Now it's the dwarf's turn.  His first blow is well aimed and strikes true. (Hits AC <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591268/" target="_blank">22</a>, 12 damage to Minotaur)  His next swing is <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591268/" target="_blank">weaker</a>, and the minotaur merely <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591268/" target="_blank">swats aside</a> his shield bash.Round 3:The hair on its head consumed by the fire, the minotaur can now focus entirely on its short adversary.  Again it swings twice, and again Rasereit <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591271/" target="_blank">dodges and deflects</a> the heavy blows.Rasereit fares better, hitting with his waraxe and spiked shield.  (Waraxe hits AC <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591273/" target="_blank">26</a>, shield hits AC <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591273/" target="_blank">15</a>, 8+5=13 damage to Minotaur)  The minotaur's body now bares more than a few awful looking holes and gashes; it won't last another barrage from Rasereit.Round 4:The minotaur again swipes at Rasereit, and Rasereit again deflects the attack.  The dwarf is growing in confidence, and prepares to finish off the beast.  But suddenly, as if it knew its mortality was at hand, the giant bull-man lifts its greataxe high in the air and slams it down with all the strength left in its formidable body.  Rasereit barely manages to avoid losing his left arm when he partially jumps out of the way.  A great spout of blood spurts from his shoulder where his armor is weak. (Greataxe hits AC <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591279/" target="_blank">24</a>, 21 damage to Rasereit)Unable now to even lift his left arm, Rasereit cackles insanely and charges the minotaur, his waraxe flying left and right.  His <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1591280/" target="_blank">flurry of attacks</a> cuts dozens of new gashes in the monstrous creature, and it falls over, vanquished.  Rasereit, not quite finished, swings his limp left arm up and over his head to smash in the minotaur's.  With a disgusting crunchy squish, the minotaur's head is gone.  Almost immediately, the corpse fades away from view, and all of the blood and hair disappear from Rasereit's clothes.  Only his own blood remains, and he sits down at the edge of his square, leaning up against the invisible wall, breathing heavily.  "Bah, that wasn't s'bad.  But Ah could use a bit o' that healin' magic now," he pants with a tired smile.Rasereit's HP: 34/72</blockquote>
