Almaric’s Tale - Fighting the Kobolds
[/OOC Initiatives for Round 2: Almaric rolls (3+1)=4, Kobold #1 (1), Kobold #2 (19) and Kobold #3(13)]
This time it is the hamstring-attempting Kobold who attacks first…
[/OOC Kobold #2 attacks Almaric, rolls (19)-Almaric’s AC(7)=12. HIT
Damage from short sword, (1)]
It makes a weak strike at Almaric’s flank and chops into his side. A very minor wound but still first blood to the Kobolds. This inspires another of the little fiends to lunge in and attempt to stab the human.
[/OOC Kobold #3 attacks Almaric, rolls (1)-Almaric’s AC(7)=-6. WILD MISS!]
The creature finds only empty space as Almaric moves to one side in an easy dodge and launches his own attack at the Kobold yet to menace him this round.
[/OOC Almaric attacks Kobold #1. He needs a 7+ and rolls, (18)-**(Kobold AC)=HIT
Damage from longsword, (4)+Sword mod.(1)+STR mod.(2)+Fighter mod.(1)=8. KILLSHOT!]
Taking the small dog-man by surprise, Almaric’s longsword lashes out and neatly removes its sword-arm along with a hunk of shoulder. The creature dies with a high-pitched yelp. Almaric continues the momentum of his attack around and directs it at the Kobold who attacked him first this round…
[/OOC Almaric attempts a CLEAVE attack on Kobold #2. He needs a 7+ and rolls, (10)-**(Kobold AC)=HIT
Damage from longsword, (4)+Sword mod.(1)+STR mod.(2)+Fighter mod.(1)=8. DOUBLE-KILLSHOT!]
The sharp blade ends its journey in the side of the Kobold, almost cutting it in half. It too expires with a pained yelp.
[/OOC The remaining Kobold must make a morale check after seeing it’s companions die and being the only one left. It rolls (10)+Kobold Morale mod.(-2)=8. Fight On.]
The remaining Kobold growls at Almaric, clearly not inclined to back down.
[/OOC Initiatives for Round 3: Almaric rolls (12+1)=13, Kobold #3 (3)]
Sensing that his foe is unlikely to give up the fight, Almaric feints to one side as he lunges forward with his sword…
[/OOC Almaric attacks with his longsword. He needs a 7+ and rolls, (14)-**(Kobold AC)=HIT
Damage from longsword, (4)+Sword mod.(1)+STR mod.(2)+Fighter mod.(1)=8. KILLSHOT!]
…which completely fools his opponent who is left wide open to the attack. The sword tip lances into the Kobold’s chest and punches out of it’s back. Dropping it’s sword, the dying creature scrabbles feebly at the protruding blade, whimpering, before falling backwards, sliding off the sword and lying dead against the edge of the stone platform. The subdued sounds of the area return after the frantic noise of combat ends.
[/OOC: Almaric is lightly injured, having taken 1 HP of damage. Almaric still has MIGHT, LUCK, FINESSE and AUTOMATIC SUCCESS bonuses available for use at any time.]
