Actually, the damage you took already factored in the cover of the table.  The mook managed to roll REALLY lucky and shred your cover.<br/><br/>After Thraxius posts, the battle will probably be over, since there's no other assassins going after you.  Fighting at 1:1 odds against an ambush, you guys managed to win with only minor wounds and the destruction of every piece of furniture in the room.  Not a bad result at all!
