The bullshit maneuvers are driving me crazy.

Completely unencumbered... have blurs on as well as wizard strength and pheons strength.

2X dodge

Dexterity (DEX): 96 (23) ... 96 (23)
Agility (AGI): 97 (18) ... 97 (18)

You leap from hiding to attack!
You swing a blackened invar-hafted cleaver at an Illoke shaman!
AS: +454 vs DS: +244 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +79 = +318
... and hit for 77 points of damage!
Hard blow breaks the femur!
The Illoke shaman rumbles in agony as he teeters for a moment, then falls directly at you!
Your hiding spot is ruined as you try to dodge the Illoke shaman.
In a vain attempt, you leap to dodge the massive falling creature! The shaman strikes you squarely, crushing you beneath him and the ground!

... 59 points of damage!
Body pulped to a gooey mass.
You ooze to the ground.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
A faint silvery glow fades from around you.
Your SIGN OF STRIKING is no longer effective.
You feel your extra strength departing.
Your SIGN OF SHIELDS is no longer effective.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
You feel less confident.
Your SIGN OF WARDING is no longer effective.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
Your SIGN OF DEFENDING is no longer effective.
Your SIGN OF SWORDS is no longer effective.
You feel the inner strength leave you.
You become solid again.
Your SIGN OF SMITING is no longer effective.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 16 mins...
Roundtime: 30 sec.
The Illoke shaman is stunned!
Roundtime: 9 sec.
DEAD>
* Falgrin just bit the dust!

I saved his sorry ass too. Saved by a hobbit!

Thats the avoidable maneuver, you have to go for a leg first and take it down. Hunting tactics can minimize that threat. Stonefist itself is fucking bullcrap.

Kitsun.. while your advice is correct I would suggest you read the part where he ambushed it's leg before PB tears you a new one. That is also why I asked if he could sweep, since it doesn't cause the creature to fall on you like just ambushing it's leg can sometimes.

I'll be damned, I thought ambushing the leg didn't do the fall crap. My mistake.

Stronghold is just a cheap as shit place. I never cared for it at all. It was notorious for killing you even before you saw the room description. I'm sure as hell glad I'm past that place.

He can.. although not very good against the shaman.

I'm just irritated by the stupidity of that maneuver against a clearly superior fighter who is completely trained to be extremely light on his feet.
