After the circling, you strike!
Oh, Fire got the timing DEAD right on that one. He rolls +9 for a 24- that is 14 damage to Azrael, SO almost wounding him. The slash goes across your chest, Azrael- he was close to running you through!
Your return stroke rolls +2- enough for a hit with your Water Weapon, but only for two damage... holding your slide, you step back, Azrael, having made another shallow cut.
Azrael: 2/24/-3
Fire: 7/6/2
Last action of the round now, folks...
I'll note you want to use Tail if you are hit!
Fire rolls -2, for a total of... 16. A direct hit on Azrael! Four damage, which Tail of the Fox reduces to... zero. Azrael slips away- damn it, you HATE it when people do that, Fire!
Your attack, Azrael! Almost certainly jsut a weapon strike I would think.
