Pete gets confused on the base 6 system as he normally uses a base 8 system, and therefor defers this round to the others.

Melkor's Ghost catches thefive in his net.
Pete releases his four. It rolls back as a five, failing to harm him.
Pete captures the two that rolled after McGill.
McGill, having no die in his net, attains a better defensive standing.

Eight dice run off in bewilderment. The party can now count the number of dice remaining: 95 (someone's pretty good at counting). Looks like there's still much work to be done.
Another pack charges forth to attack!

Addendum: At this point, don't worry about the vast amounts of pain everyone's enduring from the prolonged battle. I'm dissatisfied with the arbitrary numbers I made up to determine that particular aspect of the game and plan to create a new system that scales more closely to the life loss for future battles. Unfortunately, I can't retroactively apply the numbers I plan to use and don't want to start a new system mid-battle, so everyone will continue to bleed out until the Yahtzee dice are eliminated. Sorry for the inconvenience.
