(OOC: Jayne, I think the bird landed on ship in time so that your not<strong>yet</strong>in the ship. But can see the bird is there and figthing with Will)<br/><br/>Will shouted his god's name when bird started dive and attack; "Bahamuth's grace your champion with your protection!" He raises his shield and in distance Jayne could see brilliant blue glow cover his shield! Will is using his one blessing prayers to empower his shield with extra divine power to guard him and make his shield a more lethal weapon than before! Will stares on beasts eyes, which call for challenge him and fight. And damn he will accept that challenge!<br/><br/>However others act quicker, sending webs and magical effects on the creature. Will slams his katana inviting manner towards the beast and shouts; "Come and strike me beast, if you can!" Altough grappled and pinned down, Will did not exploit bird's vulnerable position. His knightly code forbids him to do it. Doing so would dishonor him! But he holds his blade ready in his hand and he had shouted his challenge to the bird, so if bird gets free he got all attention of the bird and ready strike once it's free from bindings.<br/><br/>OOC: As readied action Will used Divine Shield. So +3 to AC and attack/dmg rolls with shield for 6 rounds. In his own turn he uses Knight's challenge (swift action) vs the bird. I think it qualifies so Will gains +1 attack, dmg and will saves. He uses standard action to use for Test of Mettle (takes second knight challenge off). Meaning if bird fails will save DC 16 it's forced to attack Will despite other targets available in range. Also as free action Will indicates bird for Shield Block. Meaning he has now 29 AC vs the bird. Also if bird is in melee range and so Will could be count figthing vs the bird he uses move action to fight defensively to add +2 dodge bonus to AC for total 31 AC vs bird's attacks.
