Huh, good point. We’ve never seen person to person combat up to this point, so maybe we are dealing with a “Harry Potter and the Natural 20” style situation, where the main character works according to different rules than the other characters?
Alternatively: If a single hit does 5 damage and normal characters only have 15 health, then two people could defeat you in 2 combat rounds, though that should mean Murphy should have had time to respond at least once. It seems a bit weird for normal characters to deal 8 damage, which would be necessary for them to defeat him in a single combat round, but that might also be the case.
I would suggest not reading too much into plot holes; I’m writing these chapters 1 or 2 a day with almost zero planning.
In this particular case I’m leaving what happened intentionally vague, and it’s not clear if Crabbe and Goyle have leveled up yet (they might have mostly slacked and still got to level 2).
If Crabbe and Goyle weren’t training, shouldn’t they be lower level than Murphy? And wouldn’t that be a factor in the fight?
