Not at all sure as to what is happening.  I would guess that
something is up since the weapon lords are posting messages.  I
noticed that a PC killed in the challenge pool disapeared.  This
is unprecidented (I think).  The only other time anything like that
happened is when a character died due to an input or computer error.
He showed up in Ciston, mysteriously alive. Hugh told me he was going
to do something about low level guys getting killed in the challenge
pool.  Perhaps the PC disappearance has something to do with this.

Combat Sense (since its enhancement) adds to your chance at
about everything you do in combat such as hitting your opponent,
defending, noticing side/back attacks, etc.  The higher the level, the
greater the increase.

The riposite attack you are referring to occurs when your parrying
weapon controls your opponents weapon after an attack.
You will see a message to that
affect.  The weapon in the hand not performing the parry will then follow
up with an attack with a pretty decent bonus to hit.
