Wibert will drop the short sword (unless he has time to throw it at the attacker to gain time) and grap the torch and poke/throw it into the vampires eyes. In that split second he will yell out "run" to confuse, and dart into the shadows and hide as he has never hid before. For Wibert's name is The Shadow and for a good reason.
(The above is quite enough for one round; the rest will have to wait for the next.
The referee deems that dazzling the thing's eyes with the torch and instantly thereafter attempting to hide
in shadows is a spectacularly daring plan, worthy of a "long shot". As Wibert is Wibert the Shadow I'll allow him a 2 chance in 6 to apparently vanish mid melee! Of course, it will help if he wins the initiative too...)
Wibert swoops toward the guttering torch even as initiative is rolled (1d6; Wibert=5+1, enemy=1) and is he ever fast?! With frost cracking off his wounded shoulder
Wibert has the torch in a flash and flicks it up toward the ghastly dead eyes of the icy fiend as it leans down to catch him in its dread claws and... (1d6=2 DOOOWWWWHHHH! ) he skittles between its withered stick legs into the darkness behind it, but it isn't fooled and turns light lightning slashing its bone sword after the nimble Halfling (1d20=7) cutting the air not half an inch over Wibert's head as he tumbles into a poised position facing the wroth enemy.
Wibert survives another round!
What next?
