Lucian would easily be able to get a jump on the blind Imp as he charged forward, able to use the reach of his staff to his advantage to get a better attack on the Imp despite the short distance he was away from the Imp. The Skill Staff Mastery seemed to be doing justice here, making Lucian a little more proficient with the staff he was wielding at the current moment. --- Lucian Staff Attack: 79 - 25 (Distance) - 4 Melee Weaponry - 5 (Skill Bonus) = 44 Imp Dodge: 97 (Fumble) Critical Strike Damage Dealt: 22 --- In its blind stumbling it managed to expose its weaker neck, which was right where the blow struck. The Imp fell backwards onto the ground, still clutching its hands to its face in pain from both the pepper spray and the very strong Critical Strike. Two windows appeared in front of Lucian stating that his Critical Strike and Staff Mastery skills had gone up a level by 1. The Imp was down on the ground now though allowing Lucian to get in a strike thanks to this opening and hopefully finishing the beast off. --- Lucian Free Strike: 11 + 25 (Free Strike) - 4 Melee Weaponry - 6 (Skill Bonus) = 26 Imp Dodge: 27 Hit Damage Dealt: 5 --- Thanks to its sudden thrashes of pain Lucian's attack almost missed. Luckily it did not though, the staff blow being able to strike true (in whatever awesome fashion you see fit Ominal). With that last strike the Imp let out one more loud screech of pain before it disappeared into thin air, implying that the beast had been defeated. There were only five more Imps now, two of them looking quite beat up and some of them seeming a little unnerved by the party of humans, but since their numbers were still equal they were still ready to fight the good fight.
