Is this what a successful deflection looks like, or is it just a normal attack blocking result? I thought deflection was supposed to direct the attack back at the critter, so this may not be a real example of that skill. Hmm, I wasn't aware stone giants did this sort of thing; maybe I'll keep the skill. Also wasn't aware it could work lying down, if this actually is an example. Looks pretty cool actually. Again, might just be a normal block of a hurled weapon attack; They don't do this sort of thing all that often, so I am uncertain.

You tumble to the side and block the missile with your sea-blue buckler!
The war mattock flies past you, disappearing into the local environs.

You stand back up.<<
