in any round of combat you may [parry] (/parry) or [dodge] (/dodge) to attempt to avoid blows. they both allow you to reroll a d20 to block in your opposition. this effectively doubles your chance of avoiding a blow. the difference is that dodge uses your dex. modifier for both rolls. parry will use your str. modifier for your second, and only your second, roll to block. Also, parry is more effective in melee and dodge is more effective at ranged. choose your defence wisely.

i'm keeping an overall tally, but if you want individual stats its going to be kinda hard. :/ like, watching the matrix revolutions and fuiguring out who gets the most kills during the battle for the docks hard. that is sorta the idea i had going into this side-quest. i'm not even rolling to hits, theres just too many of them to miss.

<span style='color:black'> [a blacklash of draug ripple into you, causing incidental damage]</span>
roughly? couple hundred. medievail army sized. smaller then your standard roman legion. enough to come at you as a living wall. more then you could handel if they didnt have to come at you almost one at a time. you've killed 20ish so far. good luck.
