Re: Chapter 8: The Road to Skull Gorge
Valthur groans in agony as the flailing owlbear somehow finds him again. Clearly the scent of blood is strong and the dwarf considers retreating to re-establish himself. But as Marklin hits and the owlbear straightens in his own version of agony, Valthur sees his chance to finish the combat. With teeth clenched, he readies his ax, charges the vile creature, and swings.
20:41, Today: Valthur Ironhelm rolled 4 using 1d20+3 with rolls of 1. Battle axe vs. 2nd owlbear.
His confidence disappears with a blast of pain from his open wound, intensified by his own back-swing. The pain paralyzes him mid-attack. Instead of landing the telling blow, the dwarf falls to a knee with a pitiful exhalation. With his advantage lost, he looks up at his foe and hopes this time it misses.
