OOP: Horek, I totally understand your IC actions, and I have no personal problem with it. Im not, and wont be, angry with you player-to-player.

As a player, I should have known of the rule about normal weapons and subdual damage. I think my character, as a fighter would know the ins & outs of using an axe to do subdual damage enough to know he wouldn't want to use that option.

Since Anavren has initiative, he'll do the total defense (he'll have AC 23).

IP: Anavren, fully expecting the barbarian to fly into a rage at mere words, laughs at the barbarian as he readies for his attack. You prove my case for me, monkey! Anavren taunts. You let mere words provoke you to violence!

After the dust clears from the first exchanges, Anavren says with a deadly gleam in his eyes as he places a hand warningly on his handaxe. Prove me wrong. Show intelligence. Use reason. Stop attacking me now and well bury the hatchet, Anavren quickly laughs at his own joke. Stupidly attack me again, and Ill defend myself with deadly force. I wont brook being physically attacked by a party member.
Anavren is a tall high elf with typical black hair & green eyes. He stands 5' 5" tall & weighs about 135 lbs. Anavren is dressed in forest colors and leather armor. He is never without his composite shortbow and a sheaf of arrows!
