Grimgor Ghoulsbane, Dwarven Warder

Grimgor watched as the spider rushed forward. He thrust his pike at the beast, but it slipped to the side at the last minute and lashed out at Lara. Grimgor shouted out, ”Watch it, lass!", then thrust with is weapon with all the power of a giant tortoise chomping down. As he thrust, Grimgor growled aloud, “Watch yerself, beasti! Ah'll have one o'those fangs afore we're done!” His tone was insulting and taunting, even for a giant spider

---

OOC - As an immediate action, when the spider attacks Lara, Grimgor expends his counter, Warning Roar (Diplomacy check vs attack roll to negate attack). It gives up his swift action this round, but here's hoping! Dip vs 29 - (1d20+13)[27]
EDIT: So close! Sorry, RCG ... I tried!

Standard attack w/+1 pike using Giant Snapping Turtle maneuver (add 3d6 damage, ignore damage resistance) and power attack. Still benefiting from +4 AC [morale] to allies w/in 60', but it doesn't stack with the Aegis!
Attack/Dam Attack - (1d20+6)[21], Damage - (5d6+12)[33]. If attack is successful, Grimgor will mark the spider with the Armiger's Mark, which reduces attack rolls against anyone else by 4 (normal vs Grimgor)
