By the time he winged, scaled vermin had managed to withdraw its frail little hand back from its slice, the hunter had emerged from the mist and was upon it. Having dispensed with his bow for the time being, drawn the great blade, and angled himself in for the attack, the next thing that followed was his step in. From behind the creature the sword fell forward in the hands of Brannor, aimed squarely at its back and with its deathly, uncanny edge leading; if the dragon's follower dared not to move or failed to do so in time, it would almost surely suffer a mortal strike. The sword was not a meager thing and by the time wilder had recovered from the swing, eyes shifting to the bloodied gash in the half-blood orc, the same that filled the air with a rich iron taste, the attention swung itself to the old man turned beast.

The roiling mist, a low flying cloud stuck now within the cave, was behind the snapping jaws of the animal who seemed to have avoided the worst of the flying monster's efforts. Brannor was not sure what exactly had happened in the interim since his first arrow, having eschewed his bow once the cloud appeared, but now it seemed in far more control than it might well have been...

Brannor drops his bow and moves twenty-five feet to assist Orchid by flanking his attacker. His attack with the greatsword is a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12932]16[/url] and if it gains Advantage, the bonus roll is instead lower at an [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12933]11[/url]. Assuming the greatsword strikes, it deals 11 slashing damage ([url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12934]10[/url], plus a reroll of the 1 from Great Weapon Fighting for a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/12935]2[/url] in its place). If an enemy provokes an attack of opportunity from him, he will make it against whichever target is first.
