Hack & errr... Miss?

Kaspar continues to stab at the monster, letting one swipe lead into the next. With both his hands and all of his strength he brings the blade up and down repeatedly.

More importatnly perhaps, he has unwittingly maneuvered around the gator in an attempt to lure the beast away from Castille. Kapar continues to fight the gator and work his way back to the south.

Another two-handed attack with the rapier. Rolled a 3 (ARRRGH) +3=6. If that doesn't get Castille to cast a spell I don't know what will.
