The driver reaches the rothé and whips him with his driving whip With a sweeping motion the driver's mastery of the whip becomes evident. Through years of correcting his beloved team, he has gained mastery on top of his proficiency. [He has advantage on attack, +3 to hit and +1 to damage in addition to his strength modifier which is pathetically +0. Note: most non-adventurer NPCs have average stats hovering around 10 (+0) unless their job gives them a reasonable boost such as a circus performer would have high dexterity and a farmhand would be stronger than most having to do manual labor all day.] [1d20+3=19 vs the rothe's 15AC, dealing slashing damage but is halved due to the rothé's thick fur, 1d4+1=5 however it is a critical hit so the rothé takes full damage!] The rothé stumbles under the might of his master's whip but remains focused on Cat.
... The gate guards finally reach the rothé and stab at it mercilessly with their long swords. [1d20+2+2=17 the guard's attack succeeds vs rothé's AC15 for 1d6+2=3 piercing damage] The rothé is near his breaking point and flails violently but isn't finished yet! [1d20+2+2=11 the guard's attack fails vs rothé's AC15] The second guard's sword contacts but catches only fur as the rothé flails in agony.
... Against his better interests, the rothé chases Cat.
