Yes, he can try to break the hold--it would initiate the first round of combat, and of course both orcs are ready (though one doesn't have a weapon out) so there would be no surprise.AleBelly wrote:They've been in play for sleep spells since the beginning. I just forgot.
Does Varas have any chance of breaking the orcs' holds?
To break the grab would take Varas succeeding on a melee attack (unarmed) against the orc while the orc tries to keep the hold also with a melee attack.
Alternately, if Varas has a knife or something he could try and stab the orc while he's being held (longer weapons would have a penalty).
