OOC: Was Dirnhael able to close the gap between Koskas and himself? No more of that magical, ranged combat **** ?

Sagath run after Durgil:
TN 8 Run +1
-------------------------
Full-round Action: Roll(2d6)+1: 6,4,+1 Total:11 SUCCESS [The Sagath close the distance by 1 length (Durgil is now only 1 length ahead)]

[OOC:] Hey Shawn, there was no great distance between you guys, so you can melee anytime... as Koskas is about to do now. I just need to take care of a few things before I can finish this post, so check back. 

[Palandil]

OOC: Sorry, forgot to roll initiative again.

Roll(2d6)+3: 5,3,+3 Total:11

As the warg fell heavy on the saturated earth, Fengel made haste to Edrahil's aid.  He figured Dirnhael could handle the foul creature for a few more moments, however Edrahil was not much of a fighter against one assailant, let alone two.  His strength and powers were needed more against the foul magic of the wolf man.

Angered by the Dúnadan's luck in evading his arcane attacks, Koskas rushes in for a more primal means to dispatch his enemy.

Roll(2d6)+2: 2,1,+2 Total:5  FAILED

Fengel's feet slipped in the mud and he could not muster enough momentum to charge the unblinded warrior.  Nevertheless the gap between them was closed quickly, and with a flash of steel Cerduil found its target.

Action 2: Attack S5
AC+8; nim+1; Specialty+2; Cerduil+1; Warwise+3; darkness Penalty-5
Roll(2d6)+10: 6,6,+10 Total:22+Roll(1d6)+0: 5,+22 Total:27 SUCCESS

Action 4: Delayed For the sake of moving along Fengel will attack the sagath warrior again instead of delaying.

Roll(2d6)+10: 1,1,+10 Total:12 Roll(1d6)+0: 3, 12-3 Total:9 well that was probably useless.

OOC: I can't remember if Dirnhael had his shield. I assume he always carries it with him, but I didn't know if Middle-earth folk often carried shields into pubs with them. Unless you tell me otherwise, Tomcat, I'll assume he doesn't have it. It has a +3 parry bonus if he does.

ACTION 1: Parry (TN 12)
AC (Longsword) plus bonuses +19, Misc. penalties -7, Total +12
Roll(2d6)+12:5,6,+12 Total:23 - SUCCESS

ACTION 2: Parry (TN 11)
Roll(2d6)+12:2,2,+12 Total:16 - SUCCESS

ACTION 3 (no penalty due to Swift Strike 2): Parry (TN 11)
Roll(2d6)+12:5,3,+12 Total:20 - SUCCESS

***

The man-wolf's furious attacks were driven by his rage, and easily deflected by Dirnhael. Perhaps Koskas' anger was making him vulnerable, he thought. He drew Vorandur back, intending to find out.

ACTION 4 (no penalty due to Swift Strike 2): Attack Koskas
AC (Longsword) plus bonuses +19, Misc. penalties -7, Total +12
Roll(2d6)+12:5,1,+12 Total:18
Damage if successful: Roll(2d6)+7:1,4,+7 Total:12

Next Round Initiative: Roll(2d6)+2:3,3,+2 Total:8

S5 attempts to parry Fengel

Sagath 4 can still do nothing.

Edrahil attacks the unprotected S4

-------------------------
Roll(2d6)+0: 5,6,+0 Total:11 SUCCESS [S4 cannot defend, he takes 1 HITS]



The Sagath was unable to defend himself due to the horrible weather conditions and he fell quickly to the series of swift strokes from Fengel. Edrahil also slashed his sword into the other, blinded, Easterling warrior.

Unfortunately for Dirnhael, his attack was batted away. Still, Koskas looked about and saw that whatever advantage of numbers he had was now gone.

[Palandil]

As the warrior fell Fengel turned in the direction of Dirnhael and the beast.  While the blood of Koskas's two minions dripped from Cerduil, Fengel began to move to aid Dirnhael.  The feeling of retribution being resolved coursed through his veins and he only hoped that he would get the chance to plunge his sword into this beast of Harizan's.
