A Tremendous Pin Prick

Sorry. I didn't realize the gator was taking up that much room. Regardless, Kaspar was indeed taking only a five-foot step in an attempt to flank.

Castille watches as his friend moves further away from him, and closer to the gator's razor teeth.

"Damn it Kaspar," he shouts, "I can take care of myself. What are you doing?!"

Realizing that it's too late for a shortspear, Castille instead casts magic missile and attempts to draw the gator's attention.

Damage roll on the missile comes up as 1+1=2. I just can't win.
