Artfael is surprised to see that the samurai is both able to sense where he is and also for fact that he managed move and do full attack on him just brief moment. But he smirks when finally when samurai is not self-pitying cutting himself up he manages block every blow skillfully with his dagger and make quick counter stabs each time his foe struck him! However instead trying hit his foe he instead spends each and every attack bolstering up for his next attack, building aggressive dancing tempo and with grin he looked on the writhing soulmass of the samurai and he says to him;<strong>"My, my, what lovely bunch of dark and contempted souls you have there. I think I shall devour them as I take your swords to my collection!"<br/></strong><br/>Arthfael then makes a sudden flip towards his foe! Slipping behind his foe and when his foe turns around to try face him he grins as he with sudden deft move strikes on his bewildered foe with brutal powerful thrusts which would shatter foundation of great ancient mountains! Arthfael favors aerial acrobatics but he is also deadly when his feet meet the ground. All while his storm of blades continue assault the dark samurai and leech off his unholy life source more loose and flickering each passing moment!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I again gain attacks of opportunity vs dark samurai but I spend each and every AoO to use aid another action....this case aid another for my own benefit as it's a AoO and the bonus of aid another lasts a round (there is feat which does this in PHB II but it targets allies who are attacked by enemies, but I let you decide would you allow perform aid another as part of AoO to boost own single attack roll). I rolled attack rolls to see did I roll nat 1.<br/><br/>Roll Result: Zaer Darkwail rolled: 5d20<br/>Comment: Arthfaels AoO<br/>Result: 16, 8, 8, 10, 14, <br/><br/>Arthfael will perform Acrobatic Backstab skilltrick; it renders my foe flat-footed for my next attack and takes a move action. I auto pass succeed to tumble through my opponent's square (a rather interesting trick consider I am bigger than him). Then I use quickened true strike on myself and then perform attack which has 76 chance to hit vs flat-footed AC (Hoping he looses Dex bonus from AC but he does not loose it if he has uncanny dodge from any source). Then I perform Ancient Mountain Hammer, +12d6 extra dmg besides dagger normal dmg and it ignores a DR. Again remember if the dagger kills the guy I suck him and all souls connected to him inside my weapon (and guess what demon prince does to souls inside the dagger  &gt;:) ).<br/><br/>Attack roll: 95 (if aid another via AoO does not apply result is: 85, still a hit) (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=37446)<br/>DMG roll: 74pts dmg (ignores all DR) (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=37447)<br/>Blade Barrier dmg: 49 (ref save for half) (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=37448)<br/></div></div>
