I think he's asking if what he described counts as an attack...(Are you asking me permission to attack?? hee hee)
No. After this test, you go against Dr D herself, who has 50 HP and gives you -5 to your combat rolls.But... I might have been one post from victory over this possibly-final 'test'!
Oh well, it'll be worth it if I somehow manage to actually *get* that critical hit for the, as they say, win.
