A Hit!

As the lights sputter down into a mere glow, it's relief that Kaspar feels more than encouragement. But he's not one to let an opportunity pass him by. He takes a deep and silent breath. He manages to catch the faint scent of mildew on his opponent. He can see Farvin tentative and grasping for light, grasping for the door handle. Kaspar takes his sword back and then thrusts it forward.

The blade sinks deep, deep into the chest of Farvin. Blood works its way to the human's mouth and drips first onto the bastard sword and then onto the floor. The only sound is that which Farvin's weapon makes against the cool stone floor. Farvin's body quickly follows as Kaspar allows him to slide off the blade.

Finally! I said FINALLY! Kaspar rolls a 19 with a chance for crit. Modified, the total rises to 24. On the threat check, Kaspar comes up with a net of 13. So no crit, but the damage is harsh nonetheless. 17 points. And that's just his attack of opportunity.

Surveying the room once again, Kaspar is crouched, in a position to lunge. And lunge he does, at Pled. This time swinging his sword from right to left at the human's chest, the half-orc misses. It seems that with confidence comes failure. His blade is too big, or the effort was too hurried. Either way, the job passes to Castille.

A roll of 4 is much more familiar.

Castille is dry heaving, leaning against the wall. He tries to ready his crossbow, but the annoying ping of weakness is much too infuriating. At first, all he can manage is a five-foot step away from Baily. Raising his free hand, he chants loud enough for the humans to hear. His fingertips begin to glow and then two magic missiles erupt towards Pled.

If he needs light, the sunrod can always make an appearance (I'm a bit unsure just how much light is available). Regardless, damage comes up at 6 points total. I don't know if Pled has spell resistance, but I rolled an 8, unmodified.
