I'm Just Setting Myself Up for a Heroic Comeback

Kaspar is desperate. He lunges forward with his sword, attempting to take out Farvin. The bastard sword move swiftly, but without avail. The half-orc simply cannot connect despite his best efforts. The fire in his eyes is quickly turning to insecurity despite the charred remains of Vitte.

Castille continues to usurp control of the situation -- this time forgoing an attack though. As he removes the cloak from his back and the sunrod from his sash, Castille steps east five feet. Lifting his hand, he points towards the far wall and mutters to himself. His hand moves towards the ceiling and the remaining torch follows. Castille then lets his Mage Hand drop the torch to the floor with a sputter.

With his last remaining effort, Castille wraps the sunrod in his cloak and tosses it into the southeastern corner.

Kaspar continues to roll poorly: a 7 on his attack roll. Even his action point doesn't save him.

Castille, too, is a poor roller. A net of 9 on his Fort save. He'll take damage I know, but does that prompt a Concentration check on the Mage Hand spell? If so, he nets a relatively paltry 13 (if that's close I'll use another action point). I may have to adjust the above post I suppose. I'm not sure when exactly the poison effect would have kicked in. Feel free to take some liberties with your next post.

Man! The dice are friggin killing me here. However, keep in mind that Castille still has a Potion of Healing that could stave off death another round or two if necessary. It could get close depending on the poison.
