Can you beat them?
Dial in your own weapon and gear. Every connecting swing deals weapon + attribute minus the matching protection - an exact figure, verified against live in-game combat - so both sides show their true per-hit damage.
You drop Melvin in 2 hits; they drop you in 4.

Club (25 Strength) drops you in 4 hits through your armour.
Swings in their attack chain vary by attack type; plan on the full hit.
Their confirmed signature weapon.
Every connecting swing deals weapon damage + attribute (Strength for melee, Dexterity for ranged) minus the matching protection, never below 1 - verified hit-for-hit against live combat. On top of that baseline: a charged heavy strike doubles the net hit, a fully drawn bow lands about a quarter higher, blocked swings drop to 1, and individual swings in an attack chain vary by attack type.
All stats shown are the Gothic baseline. Difficulty rescales enemies per archetype: on Hard they swing with half again the attributes and carry 20% more health; on Novice their protections drop. The numbers above already apply the selected difficulty.

These are the items Melvin actually carries, with their stack counts. Values are the item's base worth in ore, the lumps of magic ore that are the Colony's only currency. Worn armour is never dropped.
