Why not proverbally hug the pillars? His huge sword must be more difficult to swing if he risks running it into a wall.

He'd probably just awesomely carve right through it.

A sword's swing packs less of a punch at the beginning of its arc, so he'd have trouble swinging his sword back through the stone. He could go for an above head swing in the follow up, but that's easier to dodge and leaves him open for longer.

He's also a gigantic fucking knight.

On that note, should we even try to block him?

[WillowLuman]

Bear in mind that you are a dwarf.

What do you mean?

And I wasn't suggesting we stand there and absorb his blows, but there's no reason not to have our shield up as we do this.

ptw

Nothing about that, just putting "gigantic fucking knight" in perspective.

Oh. I thought you were trying to say that dorfs were super stronk or something. :p

So he's just an average sized dude?

[WillowLuman]

Boss Knight is a larger than average for a human, but not superhumanly large.

[AfellowDwarf]

Hmm. That gives me an idea. Tell boss knight to call in allies(because we wouldn't want this fight to be boring). The extra foes will allow us to enter martial trance.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Welp, I'd prefer we parried him like a badass, but if we /do/ engage him as before, we might want to shift+Aim for his upper arms. Looks like he's wearing an iron/steel breastplate but no mail shirt- leaving weakspots for our copper/bronze pick. Would not be surprised if he loses the arm to a solid hit.

They might allow us to enter a martial trance. Relying on it has gotten many an adventurer killed.

If we don't enter martial trance, it'd be quite the death sentence. However, Boss knight is somewhat of a badass, if he's like the one in the comics. Can we even defeat him without martial trance, I wonder?

[Parsely]

Okay. So you're going to get him to call allies.. How, exactly?

[GrizzlyAdamz]

...we could taunt him.
