Varon saw the rushing spiders and eyed the situation. He could try and get behind the large spider. That would let him flank it and do some serious harm. In the meanwhile, he would be giving it a moment to attack his allies while he would look like he was running away. Given the positions of the spiders, that was a harder trick to pull off as well.<br/><br/>So with that thought in mind, he moved ahead a 5 foot step to the presence of the spiders, looking at Elisia. The spider between them was likely to hurt her in a moment, and it was in his way on the way to the bigger spider, so he frowned and shouted.<br/><br/>"For Lovely Ladies!" While the whole battlecry might come off as a joke, in a way he was serious. He wanted to protect Elisia, she had just showed him a bit of kindness giving him water too, and he was not one to forget such a niceness for a while. She didn't get anything from doing it, but she helped a bit of a bastard like him. She didn't seem the manipulative sort either. So, in a way, he was seriously doing it for the lovely ladies in the group.<br/><br/>Not that they probably would've believed he thought it through that far while thrusting a rapier forth.<br/><br/>His aim was for the spider's head, intent on pushing through the spider's very head and twisting the handle around a half circle before drawing it out with a harsh pull, intent on trying to put the thing down in one harsh thrust of the blade.<br/><br/>Of course that meant he'd have to aim the strike past the rest of its body, and so he wasn't sure if he could pull that off, or if he'd have to aim for the neck, or even the side to rip in at the legs. He'd have a split second view on where he could attack...<br/><br/>((OOC: Rolls below<br/>At 2011-06-08 14:29:06, Varon (uid: 16754) rolls: 1d20a10 Result: 28 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27336)<br/>So, d20 + 8 normally, with masterwork rapier and the weapon expertise, and +2 from flanking, and 18 is -critical- with a rapier, so threat next.<br/>At 2011-06-08 14:30:57, Varon (uid: 16754) rolls: 1d20a10 Result: 29 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27337)<br/>Looks like it will be a critical too, if it hit. Damn I like the rapier threat range of 18-20. Just x2 damage, but still.<br/>At 2011-06-08 14:32:09, Varon (uid: 16754) rolls: 1d6a2 Result: 4 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27338)<br/>Damage of 4, critical turns that into 8. Now, the thing I like about flanking.. Rogues can add their sneak attack to it. I don't think your sneak attack gets multiplied with a critical hit though. Still, that adds a bit more damage.<br/>At 2011-06-08 14:33:21, Varon (uid: 16754) rolls: 1d6 Result: 6 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27339)<br/>So, 8 before, and 6 from sneak, that's a total of 14 damage to spider #2. EDIT: Damnit, I forgot the Sneak attack should have been 2d6, not 1d6. Rolling the extra d6 still.<br/>At 2011-06-08 15:16:02, Varon (uid: 16754) rolls: 1d6 Result: 3 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27341)<br/>Additional 3 damage, then. Total of 17 damage to spider #2.))
