And now Durin is alone, confused and with a spike of ice impaling him.

Durin side-stepped the ice spikes, feeling a bit self-satisfied that his bad idea actually paid off a bit. Unfortunately, he was now out of both a spear and his knife. Durin liked that knife. Well at least he still had his hatchet handy. Durin draws his axe and looks over towards the bar. Was it still on fire? Then he looked around at the town in general. Were there still flaming skeletons attacking everyone? He got a bit overly absorbed in the hunt and fight. It got his blood pumping again, he felt more alive than he had for awhile. The past couple of years had been too sedentary.

Durin did his best to avoid the ice spikes, but one managed to peg him in his chest, directly to the right of his left shoulder. An unfortunate shot in the weakspot of his armor, but Durin probably wouldn't be using his left arm too much without any medical attention in the near future. The dwarf spotted the portal opening and figured that the demon would be able to escape before he could make it to him, especially with the now almost-dead weight of his left arm and shield. Well, there was one thing he could do, it would be a long shot, but better than to let the thing get away scot-free. Durin draws his knife from his left hip in one clean movement and throws it at the grounded demon. It wasn't a knife designed for throwing, but hopefully it would find its mark. Leave the bastard with a good scar to remember Durin by.

No, none of Durin's weapons are enchanted. Enchanted weapons cheat. They make a sword sharper than it was made. And getting your weapons enchanted requires consorting with magic users.

And there we go. Now the demon had moved into Durin's effective range. He let go of the spear when Artholath grabbed for it, he didn't need it for what he was planning. At the same time he stepped in and towards the magic user, swinging his shield to deflect the ice spike and balling his hand into a fist with his middle finger's knuckle stuck out punching right at Artholath's throat, the other major weak spot. As he punched, Durin pivoted his right foot inward and twisted his right hip in the same direction, putting the whole force of his bodyweight behind that punch.

The great weakness of thrusting weapons, other than meeting a surface it couldn't pierce, was that they were easily deflected by force applied in a direction perpendicular to their path and Durin's preference for centergrip shields was the surprising amount of agility and maneuverability one could get out of them. strap shields were harder to lose and sturdier, but Durin found them less useful overall for defense and offense. Sticking out the knuckle on his fist gave his armored hand a single point for the force of his weight to focus on. Doing this could be a good way to get your finger broken; however, when aimed at a soft fleshy bit and covered in tempered iron, Durin was more confident that his hand would remain intact.

Yeah, which is why I would have caught up eventually. Hence the riding dog.

@ArenaSnow Is Artholath stepping to the right or left (from the demon's perspective)?

I was very far away. And 10 feet a round is 1/3 of your average move speed.

Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

I'm wearing heavy armor. It slows down your move speed by 10 feet per round. Unless you're a dwarf. But then your move speed is 20 feet per round anyways.

I'm the one chasing her. She owes me $5.
