(Auralia Initiative: d20(14)+2=16, goes before Leska)<br/><br/>Auralia spots the drider begin to moves in, but preempts her with a couple of swings of her sword. The blade glows white as it flies through the air, but instead of hitting Leska instead wildly misses her.<br/><br/>(Both attacks resulted in a Natural 1 attack roll... I hate this roller already... Praexon, I'm not sure what I have to do about fumbling twice since I'm not sure what your house rule for fumbling is, but assuming it doesn't incapacitate her and make her unable to perform an AoO, I'll continue what happens as Leska attacks.)<br/><br/>(Auralia has Close Quarters Combat, which should give her an AoO against Leska's bite and add any damage dealt to her grapple check, unless I'm horribly mistaken.)<br/><br/>(AoO Attack: 1d20(11)+16=27; Damage 4d6(5,3,5,4)+13=30; 21 Damage if Leska is somehow not Evil)<br/>(Grapple #1 if AoO hits: 1d20(5)+15+30=45 w/ Damage from Close Quarters Combat vs DC 22; Pass)<br/>(Grapple #2 if AoO fails: 1d20(5)+15=20 vs DC 22; Fail)<br/>Grapple #2: 1d20(20)+15=35 vs. DC 33; Pass)<br/><br/>(Sorry if all those complications were really complicated, there's a lot of what-ifs going on. Assuming the AoO works and 27 hits, here's what happens. If it doesn't, I'll make the required edits.)<br/><br/>Auralia eyes widen with the beginnings of fear as Leska's maw descends upon her. However, her flailing with the greatsword finally makes contact and slashes across the drider. The cut causes the bite to go wide, missing Auralia by a long shot as she begins to realize that maybe she bit off a bit more than she could chew. However, for the sake of setting an example and filling her role as a celestial, she tries to look strong, resolving to finish the fight.
