An ogre warrior swings a rusty iron military pick at you!
AS: +155 vs DS: +115 with AvD: +34 + d100 roll: +97 = +171
... and hits for 39 points of damage!
Strike pierces gall bladder!
That's gotta hurt!
You are stunned for 3 rounds!

You are still stunned.

Everything around you turns red as you work yourself into a berserker's rage!
>
[ Berserk: +0:05:00, 0:05:00 remaining. ]
Focusing on your bloodlust, you shake yourself out of the stun!
The redness fades from the world and you begin to breathe harder.
