[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5588723, member: 16069"] Len's axe cuts under the Ogre's guard, which is beginning to lose its edge, the great creature is sliced across its belly which produces a ribbon of red in the water. The beast is fading fast, but still has a little left in store- particularly as its icy limbs have since thawed. The creature shuffles and it's feet and attempts to steady its balance, fighting against the current, before launching another Greatclub attack- a thrusting smack towards Len. Len, alas, has no more to avoid the blow and takes it full force, his back and head are smashed in to the wall behind, for a second his limbs go limp, his eyes droop and he struggles to keep in his breath (Len makes an Immediate Endurance check), it's not enough- a stream of bubbles follow. Len's eyes blink open as he watches his air supply race to the surface- he must surface as soon as or he will begin to drowned. The Ogre maintains it's position, unaffected by the current. [sblock=Ogre Combat] Free: Recharge Angry Smash (two attacks- take best). Standard: Angry Smash- Greatclub Len- Hit 20 damage. Move: Athletics check to stay in position.
