The paladin's trick worked.  Well, somewhat.  Of course, by the time the wounded, poisoned knight could pull it off, the ... monkey thing was already missing it's compatriot.  An arrow struck him.  Blades struck him.  He had to admit, that as a knight, Tyr was feeling a bit less than adequate.  He was succeeding best simply at bleeding for everyone else.  As he watched the orc woman rush forward, he did the same, moving forward to put himself next to the orc, next to the injured villager, and hopefully between them.  Again... the large, armored man in sword and shield... pay attention to him.<br/><br/>The distance between him and the rest seemed to take forever, his limbs aching by the time he got there.  But finally he<em>was</em>there, looking down at the started creature, and he lashed out with his sword, thrusting forward with the rest, his shield kept up, and hopefully partially over the injured woman.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>1d20a5 Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=96439) Disadvantage roll 1.  Gasp!  Good!<br/>1d20a5 Result: 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=96440) Disadvantage roll 2.  STILL GOOD!<br/>1d8a3 Result: 4 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=96441) Damage <em>That's more like my rolls... </em><br/></div></div>
