Oh, wow. Okay, hopefully not too late:

[Psionic Dog]

Crazy Ed - Round 3

Again, assuming no LoS:

Move to U-18.
Ready Action:
Manifest a wild-surged energy ray if Kanoe approaches within 30 ft without cover.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[roll2]

He's out there-somewhere. For now I'll try sneaking but if that doesn't work it may be necessary to stand out in the middle taking total defense and scream "come and eat me". So, U-18 seems a pretty good spot. I think precedent says the trees don't interfere with LoS at ground level, so Ed should be able to see most of arena south of the alter.

Done.
LoS?

@Refs

Kanoe's Spot:[roll0]
Ed's Spot:[roll1]


We need to rewind slightly. The missed LoS check caused a small problem, so it is Strawberryman's turn again at the top of round 4.

Kanoe

You are back in R12.
You see Ed in U18. He doesn't see you.


Crazy Ed

You are back in U18.
No LoS, but you hear him somewhere to the northwest.

[strawberryman]

Oh, okay then~

Kanoe Naomi
Actions: Double move to X15. Hopefully I could see if he moves from there.

Crazy Ed - Round 4 (take 2)


North West. I guess that eliminates south of Ed or East behind the wall.

Assuming that there is still no LoS,

Move to R-16.

Ready Action:
Manifest a wildsurged energy ray if Kanoe approaches within 30 ft without cover

[chilepepper]

High Ref chilepepper

Backing up to the end of Kanoe's turn.

KanoeI can't get to your sheet right now, so I'll just have to ask. What is your movement? R12 to X15 is 65'. If your move is 30' then you can only get to X14 on a double move. Either let me know that your move is higher than 30' or that you are in X14.

EdYou see Kanoe cross from R12 to T10, breaking LoS.

I need a quick clarification from Kanoe, then Ed can take his turn in Round 4 (again).

Movement is 40, thanks to the Quick trait.

[Psionic Dog]

So... Is it Crazy Ed's turn?

Assuming no major changes...
Crazy Ed - Round 4 (take 3)


Move 15 ft to T-16.

Ready Action:
Manifest a wildsurged energy ray (manifested on the defensive if threatened) if Kanoe approaches within 30 ft without cover.

Kanoe Naomi
Actions: Move to S20, throw Caltrops in T19. Are there any rules on intentionally making a noise to get his attention, a la Solid Snake? ;p

Waiting on a clarification before I finalize my move, assuming that's legal. If not, I'll just stick with it.

[Talic]

Ref Talic

@Kanoe:Move silently checks while running take a -20 penalty, which would make you audible.

Talking (free action) generally carries a DC of 0.

Performing actions while explicitly not moving silently would have a similar DC.

Providing clarification. Turn is still strawberryman's.

I'm guessing I'll need to put this in a spoiler, first, so Ed can make a check...

Naomi whistles loudly.

Turn over.~

[Psionic Dog]

Crazy Ed - Round 5


Assuming no LoS, moving 20ft to S-13.

[roll0] (Including -5 for moving full speed)
[roll1] (if needed)

Will declare rest of turn once I know if LoS was established.


Not Done.
LoS check needed.

[Mavian]

@Psionic Dog

No LoS but at the beginning of your turn you hear a loud whistle from the south.


@Kanoe

No LoS

[Psionic Dog]

Ready Action,
Fire Wild-Surged energy ray at Kanoe (defensively cast if threatened) if she approaches within 30 ft without cover.

No LoS

No LoS

@Kyeudo/Refs

Are you sure? My lining up of things has Kanoe getting spotted around Q20, or wherever he comes around the rock.

[Psionic Dog]

Sooo... Crazy Ed's up?

Crazy Ed - Round 6

Free banter: "Marco!"

Free: Speak from S-13

Move 10ft (half speed) to R-12.

Naomi does not indulge in responding. :smalltongue:
Action: Can I use a Listen check to tell which general area he's in?

Waiting on clarification.

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

Hold on one sec. Looks like I may have screwed the LoS up. This is why I usually leave this to other people.

@Refs

Spot:[roll0]
Looks like Kanoe spotted Crazy Ed.


We have LoS established during Kanoe's turn in Round 5, as he moves into Q20. He successfully spots Crazy Ed in S13.

Kanoe gets to redo the rest of that turn, then Crazy Ed gets his Round 6 turn.

[strawberryman]

All right.

Kanoe Naomi
Action: Use Wind Stride (Swift), Move to S14 (Move), Attack with Blistering Flourish.

Attack Roll: [roll0]

If that hits, Damage roll: [roll1]
And, Crazy Ed needs to make a Fort save,
DC14, can clarify if I need to unspoiler this.
Or be Dazzled.

AC: 15 (+2 armor, +3 Dex), touch 13, flat-footed 12

[Psionic Dog]

Ouch...

That's a hit and if you were swinging with a scimitar probably a critical threat too.

But! Crazy Ed was holding a readied action, which you probably should have seen. Would that knowledge have changed your action?

[strawberryman]

I'm feeling lucky. Are you? :P

Crit Confirm: [roll0]

...sweet, sweet irony. -_-;
Action stays, anyway.

[Psionic Dog]

Cool.

Crazy Ed (Readied Action)

Just as Naomi reaches S-14 Ed's readied action triggers.

Free: Crazed banter: "FREEZE! Your IT! HAHAHAHA..."

Manifesting Wild-surged Energy Ray, cast defensively.
Expending Psionic focus to take 15 on the concentration check for a successful 21.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[roll2] Dazed on 1-5.

If you're still standing to make the above attack,
[roll3]
Does this save?

[Mavian]

Ref Mav:

It was DC14, although you didn't really need to spoiler it Strawberry

[strawberryman]

Argh, forget one bloody backslash and the diceroller just kicks you. >_>

Roll of 10 on Touch attack is a miss. And the save doesn't make it.

...And I forgot some extra fire damage from Desert fire. And 1 extra fire damage from Desert Wind Dodge, because I moved 10 feet and am using a Scimitar.

[roll0]

Not too late to call that, is it?

[Mavian]

High Ref Mav:

Technically Kanoe never ended his turn. As Crazy Ed's action took place before Kanoes action did.

[Psionic Dog]

I'm kind of biased here, so don't ask me, 'cause if the answer is 'yes' then that would drop Ed in one shot. :smallfrown:

Anyway, I've requested an unbiased ref opinion over in the waiting room.

While we wait, feel free to post another action. If you get the extra damage he's down, and if you don't then Ed's still dazed. Either way, he isn't doing anything this turn.

EDIT:
Then... Crazy Ed's down.
I'm not certain where half the damage is coming from, but if you are willing to post the damage break down then Crazy Ed will admit defeat.

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind, I think I know where all the damage is coming from. Good Fight.

[strawberryman]

Well, that'd be a yes. Not counting on getting much better luck than this. Same actions. *waits*

[Psionic Dog]

Double Ninja'd :smalltongue:

See edit above.

After a few googlings I think I see where everything is coming from and can find no objections.

Good Fight.

Unless another ref sees something... Kanoe wins.
They really need a :wistful: smily for occasions like this.

[arpin]

Initiate ref arpin

Psionic dog (Crazy Ed) is the winner and gets the loot.

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

Technically, initiate refs aren't allowed to call matches. Also, that's the wrong winner.

Kanoe Naomi is the Winner!
