Its shoving arm reaches out and touches the Dargo on the chest, then pistons out.  Despite Dargo's great strength, and his dwarven stability, he is thrown back and down the stairs.  As he is pushed, Maug 2 reacts, slicing his two-bladed sword into Dargo's side as he is thrown back.InitiativeMorph: shillelaghBull: 10 damage, greater magic fang +2Rogoth: 65 damage, raging 4 roundsSolli: climbing, 10 ft up.Dargo: 43 damageDenasa: 5 damage, flying 10 ft upVuoor: 15 damageMaug 1Maug 2Maug 3 (shoving arm): 23 damage.Maug 4 (shoving arm): 25 damage.Maug 5 (stone spitter): 110 damage, deadMaug 6 (stone spitter): 79 damage, deadOOC: The stairs are very steep, and you find it impossible to charge up them.Morph misses with a 13+7-1=19.Bull misses with a 2+11+2-1=14.Rogoth power attacks for 5, and hits with a 17+15-5-1=26.  Damage 5+8+10=23.Solli successfully hides as he climbs up the wall.  He is now 10 ft up the wall.  His dart misses: 8+13-4=17Dargo hits with 14+14-1=27.
