[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3687870, member: 29014"] (OOC: I will assume that 'yay socks' means 'I would like to attack and Cleave' ;)) *Zaeryl facepalms.* "Damn it!

Hulgyr's lucky socks protect him from all harm, as Eternity suffers the blow head-on and drops.* (OOC: Against Hulgyr, it got two 4s on the two primary attacks :( Against Eternity, a natural 18.
