*sigh* yeah that's what happens when you check your turn after coming home from the bar.
I missed the +3 berserk bonus which made quite a difference in this case. Given my defense and protection that +3 to you attack and strength made it about 3 times more likely to hit (from ~20% to ~60%) and your average damage dealt go from -6, -6, 5, 5 to -3, -3, 8, 8. Still a pretty lucky couple rolls, but up in the realm of unlikely rather than ludicrous to deal > 42 damage in one turn.
