Allie's aim is good and her punch lands right on the arachnid leg joint.<br/><span style="font-size: 84%; line-height: 116%;">[Leska AC:23(-1 size, +2 Dex, +2 deflection, +6 natural armor, +4 force armor), flatfoot AC:21]</span><br/>Unfortunately, the only effect of the punch is a loud<span style="font-style: italic">Thwack!</span>noise and a stinging in Allie's knuckles.<br/><br/><span style="color: red">&lt;&lt;Round 2&gt;&gt;</span>(others are free to join the combat, but I will not wait for them)<br/><br/>[initiative no longer applies]<br/><br/>"You!" says the drider, agitated to find herself surrounded by agile combatants who insist on making things difficult.
