I am in the begginning of chapter two, and I am in the orc/goblin caves trying to kill the orc leader so I can take his head to a farmer/retired adventurer. The orc Cheif keeps using a knockdown attack that almost always hits. I am usually knocked down long enough to receive around 26 damage from him. (all other orcs on this level are dead.) By the time my character is starting to get up, the orc cheif has announced another knockdown attack and I usually have around .5 seconds to:
A) run away and attempt to rest or use a potion/heal kit
B) attempt to use a potion right in front of him
C) attack and hope he misses his knockdown attack
I don't have a henchman and My character is a level seven fighter with around 75 HP. His stats are:
Half-elf
Str:16
Dex:14
Con:17
Int:10
Wis:10
Cha:9
Ac: (around)17
I don't know what his saving throws are, but his equipment is Longsword+1, half plate+1, winged helmet, tower sheild+1, and a longbow+1 with 99 arrows. Lesser belt of light? (immunity fear, lore+2, something else I can't remember), Scholar's ring, cloak of protection+1, another ring I can't remember, and some other amulet. No boots.
He is really good with the sword, and okay with the bow, but I hardly ever use that. Should I hire that clumsy cleric, or use the longbow and run from him ( this may take an hour and a hundred gold on arrows to do), or what else? hire every henchman one by one until he attacks them and knocks them down/kills them so I can attack?
