checking in

[ZaneLaCoix]

Will roll when opponents come.

[hustlertwo]

I believe The Terran posted in another thread about an upcoming absence, so he'll get a grace period. Just have to wait on Killerloop, then.

(edit) my absense was over the weekend :smallsmile:

initiative
[roll0]

potion of invisibility as well

[Killerloop]

Initiative: [roll0]

buying scroll of See Invisibility

[theterran]

Looks like I'm up first...

Will post a bit later...

[theterran]

Assuming there are no more purchases...

Burnz - Round 1

Starting in Y10 w/ a scroll in hand.

Activate Arcanist's Gloves.

Cast a Kelgore's Firebolt at Chrono.

[roll0] - Reflex Halves DC16

Move to Y6.

End my Turn.

Stats:
Location: Y6
HP: 5/5
AC: 15 Touch: 15 FF: 11
Arcanists Gloves Left (1/2)

[madtinker]

Actually, by all the initiative rolls I see here, Killerloop is next, and up for DQ. :smallamused:

[ZaneLaCoix]

Quite so. I'm patiently waiting for his post so I may go.

14 is greater than 11, after all.

[Killerloop]

Sure, 14 is greater than 11, but buying a scroll of see invisibility is different than buying nothing so I expected an answer like "no reactionary purchases" or "I buy this". :smallsmile:

Furthermore, I can't really make a move until Chrono makes his reflex save because that will change my plans. :smallsmile:

[ZaneLaCoix]

[roll0] vs 16

If pass then 1 point goes to my HP, and the other 5 goes to Steely Resolve.
Which would mean: HP: 9/10, Steely Resolve: 5/5

If fail then 5 points still go to Steely Resolve, and 7 points go to HP
Which would mean: HP: 3/10, Steely Resole: 5/5

In either case, he's still alive and kicking.

EDIT: We're also fresh from our only win... So we only had the 300g to pour in at that point in time... So I don't think either of us have any reactionary buys... Just a team-wide "boop"

[Killerloop]

Ema - Round 1

Starting in Y11 w/ a scroll in hand.

Cast Invisibility, need to beat DC8: [roll0]

Not for opponent eyes


The scroll is of See Invisibility

Move action: Y11 to V15


End my Turn.

Stats:

Location: V15
HP: 5/5
AC: 13 Touch: 13 FF: 10
Invisibility time left: 10/10 rounds

[redmagus]

Doesnt precocious apprentice require a caster level check? im not sure where the +6 comes in. Correct me if im missing something.

[Killerloop]

Yes, it is caster level. But I cannot change it to +1 without messing the forum roller and I don't want to.

Anyway +1 instead of +6 is still passed, the roll is a 17 and 18 beats DC8 :)

[redmagus]

ah that makes sense, carry on

[Killerloop]

My turn is over, Chrono is up :smallsmile:

[ZaneLaCoix]

Chrono

Start: B-11
Move: G-13

End

Steely Resolve's 5 points pours into his HP, turning his 2HP into a negative... Removing his chance from even getting a single strike off.

Frustrating. But so goes it.
/shrugs

[redmagus]

hmm that is unfortunate, i start in B10 potion in hand and sword in the other,

i down the potion dissapearing from veiw (unless you can see invisible people:smallwink:)

for those who might be able to see me

after i down the potion i move to G-13
now refs only

could i use sound to determine if someone starts casting a spell? Assuming the spell has a verbal component this would be for the purposes of readying an action with the casting of a spell as a trigger

[theterran]

what kind of action would it take to take the invisiblity potion from my dying partner? assuming he offers no resistance to the act?


not done yet

[ZaneLaCoix]

Refs/redmagus

I hold no argument against helping my ally by letting said being use the aforementioned item were he to retrieve it from said dying body.

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

@redmagus

Picking up an item is a move action unless it is stored somewhere particularly hard to get to.

[redmagus]

for those who can see me



i bend over and take a bottle from zanes body
then i ready and action

refs only

i take zane's potion as a move action (im assuming its not in a hard to get to place seeing as he just bought it and had intended on using it) and then i ready and action to move if i detect someone starting to cast a spell at me or with and area of effect that would include me.



done

[theterran]

Los check plz.

[Psionic Dog]

High Ref PsiDog

Illegal action detected. Rewind.

Burnz
Despite your partners "not for opponent eyes" titles you can't see Ema either to read them.

Ema
That scroll you were holding, like the rest of your gear, is invisible and thus resistant to being read.

Precedent says you can't cast from a scroll you can't read or see.


Also not that if you are invisible your partner can't see you either as your "not for opponent eyes" titles might not imply.

flaler
Earlier you asked about listen checks to identify spell casting.

Spells with vocal components have a base DC 0 to hear.
Beating the DC by 10 or more allows you to recognize it as a spell and allows a spell-craft check to identify the specific spell.

Match rewinds to Ema's turn, Round 2

[Killerloop]

Ema - Round 2

Refs only


Move action Y11->U8
Free action: Drop scroll of See Invisibility
Move Action U8->P9


End my turn

[redmagus]

For those who can see me

readied action is to move if i detect someone casting a spell at me or that would affect me



done

[theterran]

Burnz - Round 3 (again)

Ready an Action:

[hustlertwo]

Edited away!

[Killerloop]

Excuse me? I am checking this post every day and asked for a LOS check 2 times in the waiting room.

[hustlertwo]

Hmm. First, when you're asking for LoS, you need to make note of that in a post here, as everyone else does. Waiting Room moves fast, just doing it there is not sufficient. Your opponent was likely unaware of this when he requested your DQ. Second, you haven't asked for LoS in several days. You've got to be persistent if you want to actually get someone to do it. Obviously those are just suggestions, however, not things you would get DQ'ed over. But follow them in the future and you shouldn't have this problem again.

High Ref Hust
Ema is un-DQ'd. Go forth and request LoS!

[Killerloop]

Can you just do it now plz?

[hustlertwo]

Eh, I tried, but I have no idea what's going on. None of you seem to be keeping anything in the way of stat blocks, and there's too much invisibility shenanigans, which I clearly don't understand much about, because I wouldn't have picked up on the thing Psionic mentioned.

[Killerloop]

I'll ask again then

[redmagus]

current location for refs

currently invisible in B10

[Killerloop]

I don't know what to do, they don't answer to my requests :smallsigh:

[Psionic Dog]

High Ref PsiDog

Ref notes
Two of the three combatants are invisible, and the third is out of LoS from his opponent. Could be interesting.

Rewind to Burnz, round 2
LoS (As of end of Chrono's round 2 turn.)

Chrono Ema
You started your turn with LoS to flaler in T-7, but break LoS as you leave R-9.

No LoS currently.

Burnz
You hear approaching footsteps from the south, and see a scroll drop in U-8 as the footsteps fade of to your west.

No LoS to anyone however.

Does this change to your actions?

flaler
You see a scroll drop out of the air and land in U-8.

No LoS to anyone however.

Does this change your actions?

Quick questions for both flaler and Burnz.

[redmagus]

quick question for refs only

chrono is currently dying at this point and never took a round two action, did you mean emma? also with the rewind i think i became confused is my current turn before or after i took the invisibility potion from chronos body?


waiting

[Psionic Dog]

Whoops. I can't believe I scrambled the names and LoS result like that.

Anyway, corrected now.

@redmangus
You are correct, there was a rewind, and it is now your turn.

This was your most resent action:

hmm that is unfortunate, i start in B10 potion in hand and sword in the other,

i down the potion dissapearing from veiw (unless you can see invisible people:smallwink:)

for those who might be able to see me

after i down the potion i move to G-13
now refs only

could i use sound to determine if someone starts casting a spell? Assuming the spell has a verbal component this would be for the purposes of readying an action with the casting of a spell as a trigger

[theterran]

So we rewinded again, and it's my turn in Round 2?

[redmagus]

im being told its my turn in round 2, you can open the first spoiler in PsionicDog's most recent post.
Flaler round 2
refs only

i use a move action to retrieve the chronos's invisibility potion and another to move to C7

currently invisible at C7


finished

[theterran]

@Refs
If I can see a scroll drop, I would like to change my actions.

[Psionic Dog]

Looks Like nothing's happening fast here.

As a reminder, it is now Burnz's Round 3 turn, (take 3)

And a complimentary LoS check too.

Burnz
Same as Last LoS check.

The match was rewound back to the point the scroll dropped, so there is no problem with taking a different round 3 action.

Ema
Same as Last LoS check.

Flaler
Same as Last LoS check.

[Mavian]

High Ref Mav:

Burnz is disqualified due to lack of posting.

[redmagus]

so it should be ema's turn now correct?

[Killerloop]

Sorry, I lost interest in the whole thing.

I concede the game, high ref plz remove me from the players list too.

Thank you for your time.

[Scorer]

I guess, this is over then...

Hi Ref Scorer

Chrono and Flaler are victorious!
