Grok swaps his trusty mace for a longspear he keeps around for exactly this predicament. Roderic is momentarily distracted by Grok, with a thought in his mind of "Where the heck has he been keeping that spear?". Thus distracted, his swing is not as true as it could be and is deflected by a kobold's armor.
