Retaliatory attack

A ghostly pooka tries to bite you!
As you parry a ghostly pooka's attack, you see an opportunity for immediate retaliation!
You swing a vultite flamberge at a ghostly pooka!
  AS: +317 vs DS: +139 with AvD: +41 + d100 roll: +76 = +295
   ... and hit for 115 points of damage!
   A strong blow cleaves the left wrist!
   The hand dangles, spinning slowly, and then snaps back in place!
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the ghostly pooka's body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.
The ghostly pooka ceases all attempts at movement.
The dim aura fades from around a ghostly pooka.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
