He moves in, reaching for the leopard.<br/><br/>[[Touch (with flurry) attack: 15+7=22, hit, Golden Ice, 5-1=4 Dex damage if DC failed.  Grapple check: 2+8=10, 2nd attack (to try again) before he can escape (with Action point): 4+8+6=18.  Hopefully that'll be enough]]<br/><br/>Well, the distance wasn't much to cross, as he reached for the leopard, and so pulled him towards him.
