All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any starting combatants.

Prior to the match start you may privately plan by spoiler or PM with your partner, but after the start any communications will need to be done in character inside the arena as rules allow.

[Lubirio]

[roll0]

No purchases.

BlackGodofHeat:
I think if you are first in init order again, you should make a 5ft step in front of me, preventing the insta-kill from last match. :smallbiggrin:

Also, both of them are Elan clerics, (:smallsigh:) so with ranged and cunning we should be able to take them out. I suggest you try to stay out of range from their spells whilst shooting at them, drawing most of their attention. I'll take care of the rest. :smallwink:

[Sallera]

Init: [roll0]

Purchasing two more scrolls of Light of Lunia, reserving right for reactive etc.

Tanaric:Alright, well, there's a decent chance Arie will fall to one Light, and the only ranged spells he has are cantrips, so he'll probably try to get close for the Color Spray. I think I might pull out the scroll of Hold Person for Kup.

[BlackGodofHeat]

Initiative: [roll0]

Today Kup has manifested nature's might with Aspect of the Hunter, like last match. This provised a +2 bonus on listen, move silently, spot, hide, and initiative, this bonus is included in the initiative above. No purchases.

Lubirio:
Sounds like a plan, but what exactly will you do, you have no combat spells except colour spray, which is only at close range, you make me curious. :smallconfused:

[Tanaric]

[roll0]

Purchase list coming soonish.

Purchasing a Scroll of Light of Lunia.

[Lubirio]

Don;t mind me, just discussing tactics. :smallbiggrin:

BlackGodofHeat:
I have my tridents, won't so much, but don't underestimate them. plus I have mage armor to be able to get close, I can cast that on you as well, as you used your potion last game. :smallcool:

[BlackGodofHeat]

I buy a Greataxe for 20gp.

Lubirio:
So on your first turn you cast mage armor on me, then dive for the river? If that's the case I''ll go for a tree to get my AC higher still and shoot them from there, making myself the most obvious target. If they get close I'll activate rage and attack them with my newly bought Greataxe. during this whole time you can do your ghost sound to make it look like you appear behind a tree or something, then appear somewhere else (or not at all) and either attack them with color spray or your tridents. Is that what you had in mind?

I can't help but notice me jumping on front of you is no longer needed, as you go before me. :smallwink:

you can go on ahead Tanaric, we'll finish this with you guys listening. :smallbiggrin:

[Tanaric]

Wrong. You take your readied action, then I continue my turn. You act immediately before my initiative count from now on.

So your readied action was the shot, I presume? I fail at reading. Your shot misses, and I choose to revise my turn from the point that your action triggers. Revision coming shortly.

[Tanaric]

I should be able to see you if you're anywhere in the river from J to W squares, by the way. If you are, tell me the square please.

Edit: With some exceptions, assuming you're at the bottom.

[BlackGodofHeat]

I believe he said he was when he first went into the water...

anyway, my turn:

Kup Everyoung R3:

Drop bow in R11, move to Y6, drawing greataxe as part of the move, and activate Rage.

stats:
HP: 14/14
AC: 19, FF: 16, T: 15 (+3 Dex, +4 Mage Armour, +2 Tree)
Rage: 1 left, not active

And since I now act before you in initiative order:

Kup Everyoung R4:

Charge and try to Bull-rush puny lil' smasher. Pushing you as far as you'll go.

Rolls:
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
Strength: [roll2]
If crit:
Confirm: [roll3]
Extra Damage: [roll4]
Damage: [roll5]

stats:
HP: 16/16
AC: 13, FF: 10, T: 9 (+3 Dex, +4 Mage Armour, -2 Charge, -2 Rage)
Rage: 8 rounds left

[Sallera]

Initiative doesn't work like that. You move your place in the order immediately, not at the beginning of the next round. No free turns for you. <<;;

[Tanaric]

Again, that's not how it works.

The initiative order is thus, as of the moment your readied action triggered: Kup -> Smasher -> Arie. We act in that order. If I trigger one of Arie's readied actions, for instance, we would act in the order of Kup -> Arie -> Smasher. Readying an action doesn't allow you to take a second turn.

Edit: As of the turn you need to be taking, you start in I-10, not R-11. That's where you were at the end of your last turn. Kindly revise your turn from that starting location.

Edit2: And I need to know if I can see Mr. Fishman from my location in W-17 or not.

[Lubirio]

You cannot see Mr. Fishman, he's 10ft down into the river, he could be anywhere...

[Tanaric]

And for some reason I can't see 10ft into clear, calm water?

[BlackGodofHeat]

About the initiative:

Before my readied action the initiative order was: Smasher, Arie, Kup, Quork, then at turn #3, I readied an action, which was activated, changing the initiative order to: Kup, Smasher, Arie, Quork. Unless I actually lose an entire turn by having the readied action-merely a standard action-activated, I'm positive I get both my round 3 turn, and my round 4 turn, albeit one right after another.

I'm aware that if I do lose my round 3 turn, my readied action in this case is near useless... And if I in fact, lost my turn, it's Smasher up to go now.

[Lubirio]

You do see me, my bad, but I have total cover unless you have freedom of movement. :smallwink:

You can read the last spoiler as my depth blocked view before, I'm now in L13.

[Tanaric]

You readied an action on round 2, not round 3. You took your readied action on my initiative count on turn 3, which makes your turn 3, happen immediately before my turn 4. As Arie already acted before you in the initiative count, nothing changed the turn order. You don't magically get your round 3 and round 4 turns at the same time.

Before your readied action, the order was this: Smasher, Arie, Kup.

After your readied action, the order is this: Kup, Smasher, Arie.

There's really no change in the turn order, as we are still acting from my turn 3 point. After I finished, Arie took his round 3 turn. You now need to take your round 3 turn, starting from I-10, which is where you ended your round 2 turn.

[BlackGodofHeat]

So in short my turn 3 was the readied action, and I take my turn 4 now, then we proceed with turn 4?

If that's the case:

Kup Everyoung R4:

Move to R11, making the jump from L12 to O12, auto-succeeding on the check, with 45ft of movement used total.

I then Shoot Smasher.

Rolls:
Jump: [roll0] (+2 Str, +4 ranks, +8 for 20ft higher movement speed than 30ft)
Attack: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]
If crit:
Confirm: [roll3]
Extra Damage: [roll4]

Done, stats:
HP: 14/14
AC: 19, FF: 16, T: 15 (+3 Dex, +4 Mage Armour, +2 Tree)
Rage: 1 left, not active

If I don't get a standard action for any reason, I don't shoot...

((These readied-action rules have me confused big-time, I used to play it the way I originally played it out, finishing your turn when it triggers. I guess I used to play it all wrong then. :smallredface:))

[Tanaric]

Smasher, round 4

Attempt to cast a spell from the scroll.

CL check vs DC 4: [roll0]

DC 13 Will Save, please.

[BlackGodofHeat]

Will save: [roll0]

Or else what?

[Tanaric]

Paralyzed for 3 rounds. :smallwink:

Smasher, round 4 continued

Free action to drop used scroll.

Move to X-9.

Done.

Edit: You get a new saving throw each round as a full-round action on your turn, if you so choose.

[Lubirio]

Arie Na - Round 4

Assuming I can make a move action with a combination of on land and in water, my turn is as follows:

move to P10 (moving up the river included in movement), then ready an action
Cast Color Spray on Smasher once he comes within 20ft of Arie, making a 5ft step before casting.

Done, stats:

If that movement is still bodged, let me know.

[BlackGodofHeat]

Paralyzed lets me take a purely mental action, is activating a rage a mental action?

[Tanaric]

Entering a rage takes no time itself, but a barbarian can do it only during his action*snip*

So no, not that I can see.

Edit: From what I can see, Lubirio, it looks like you're trying to climb out of the river under the bridge, which you kind of... can't do. If I'm wrong, could you tell me how else you get there in 30 ft of movement (including 5 for moving up from the bottom).

[Lubirio]

from L13, swim to M10 (surface heiht) on a straight diagonal, then walk to P10, in a regular line, taking 30ft of movement, right?

[Sallera]

I don't think you can walk up onto the bridge from the river. That would presumably require the usual move action and DC15 climb check.

[Tanaric]

Uh, as far as I know, you're going to need a climb check to pull yourself up on to the bridge. :smallconfused: Go ahead and ask a ref if you don't think that's right.

Ninjas, ninjas, everywhere and not a drop to spare. :smallyuk:

[Lubirio]

Well the bridge is AT surface level of the river, I think I would just need a DC10 or 15 climb or balance check to make it from the river (with the momentum that doesn't do me any good in D&D) onto the bridge. But I'm just the player controlling the character in question, what do I know?

[BlackGodofHeat]

I know activating a rage can only be done in my action, but can I activate rage (as an immediate action), then spend a full-round action trying to break the paralisis? Making the activation of rage a mental action...

[Tanaric]

Rage isn't an immediate action. It's part of another action, which you're currently incapable of performing, unless you have some other mental action you can take.

[Sallera]

Rage has been ruled to be a free action. As far as I can tell, it is mental, so raging (on your turn) and then trying to break the paralysis should be possible.

[Tanaric]

But it.. doesn't say... that. :smallconfused:

Oh well. Sallera likely knows more of Arena precedent than I, so go with what s/he said.

[Sallera]

Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6940410&postcount=14)'s the ruling on Rage's action type. The only thing in question would seem to be whether it's a purely mental action, and that I'm not sure on (affects physical stats, so iunno.)

[Lubirio]

So my turn stands? And on whether or not activating a rage is a mental action, I'd say it is because you become enraged with your mind, mentally, there's no physical movement or anything involved. :smallwink:

[Sallera]

Waiting on a ruling for your turn.

[BlackGodofHeat]

I'll assume activating rage is a mental action until told otherwise:

Kup Everyoung R5:

Activate rage, then try to shake of paralysis as a full-round action.

Will save: [roll0] (2more than last time because of rage. :smallwink

In this case it is of little difference if my rage is active, just for the duration really...

[Sallera]

We're still waiting to know whether Arie's movement was legal, by the way.

[Psionic Dog]

High Ref PsiDog


...Entering a rage takes no time itself, but a barbarian can do it only on his action...

I fail to see why a rage must be a mental action, as far as I can see from the discussion it need only not by a physical action.

Rage requires no time to enter. It is the freest of free actions. Thus the barbarian need not perform a whooping war dance, shake a weapon, or even move a finger. I am not prepared to declare rage to be a mental action rather than simply a non-action (sometimes there is a distinction), but there is certainly no requirement for physical action of any sort.

This ref finds nothing wrong with Arie's action and declares it valid.

[Tanaric]

Just to clarify, you find both the rage valid and moving on to the bridge from the water valid?

[Lubirio]

It seems so, your turn then. :smallbiggrin:

[Tanaric]

From the way it was worded, it sounds like he was confusing Arie with Kup. He made no mention of the water or the bridge, just the rage. Waiting for clarification before I take my turn.

[Lubirio]

Or commenting on Kup's action without a definite ruling, then declaring Arie's movement legal?

[Psionic Dog]

...
apparently I failed a research check. One moment.

Edit: OK

Kup: Rage legal

Arie: Missing Climb Check
((Precedent has said that a climb check is required to exit the water, but because of the grass, boyant water, etc, this check is only a DC 10))

[Tanaric]

Regarding the above: His movement still wouldn't be quite legal, as he only moves at half speed one-quarter speed on a successful climb check, yes?

[Psionic Dog]

I count 25 ft of linear distance (assuming I had the correct starting location) so an accelerated climb check (half speed: +5ft to path) would just be possible.

Reminder: Normal climbing is 1/4th speed and that would be impossible.

[Lubirio]

So I make this DC 10 climb check (do I?) and my movement will be completely legal?

[roll0] DC10

[Tanaric]

You had to do it as an accelerated climb (-5 penalty), so you fail by 1. You didn't have enough movement to it as a normal climb.

[Lubirio]

So instead can I move 5ft less and not make the accelerated climb? (I think not because it is legal and I've already rolled...)

[BlackGodofHeat]

...
apparently I failed a research check. One moment.

Edit: OK

Kup: Rage legal

Arie: Missing Climb Check
((Precedent has said that a climb check is required to exit the water, but because of the grass, boyant water, etc, this check is only a DC 10))

Hurray! :smallbiggrin:

it's too bad for your movement though, really. :smallfrown:

[Sallera]

I believe the end result is Arie at surface level in M10 (presumably with the same readied action?).

[Tanaric]

Your movement to M-10 was legal, as was your attempt to climb out. You can ask a ref if you like, but my understanding is that legal actions stand, even if, in hindsight, other choices would have been better.

Once this is all cleared up, I'll take my turn.

Edit: Yes, presumably.

[Lubirio]

Go ahead, I've had precedent with 'what's legal stands' and I'm not going to argue it any further. :smallwink:

Edit: Yes, I keep the same readied action.

[Tanaric]

Smasher, round 5

[BlackGodofHeat]

Fortunately, Kup just survives all that damage, with 1HP left. Now I'm really glad I decided to acivate rage, otherwise I'd be done for.

Nooow you can go, I think you'd keep the same rolls no?

You still need a climb check to get out of the water, per what PsiDog said.

[Lubirio]

So I make this DC 10 climb check (do I?) and my movement will be completely legal?

[roll0] DC10

I certainly do not.

[Tanaric]

*facepalm* That roll had to be an accelerated climb, otherwise you didn't have enough movement to move (1/4 speed = 20 ft to move 5 ft). So either you failed it, or you couldn't have done it in the first place, or you took another move action (which you couldn't have, since you stated you were readying an action).

Unless you're somehow reusing the roll from your last turn?

[Lubirio]

Right after I realized an accelerated climb was necessary to make the appropriate movement I steted I'll use the roll to make movement using 5ft less, making the roll a sucess.

[Sallera]

Except that you can't just change your intended action because you happened to fail the roll. Didn't we just go over this? You attempted an accelerated climb, it didn't work, so you didn't go anywhere and you're still in M10.

[Lubirio]

yes, and from M10, I make the legal move to Q12...

But now I see I do need a climb check, not accelerated this time: [roll0]

[Lubirio]

Arie Na - Round 5 redox

I failed my first climb check, now I try again, in case I succeed, I finish movement to Q12...

So Arie is in Q12 without a readied action then, and my turn.

Kup Everyoung - R6:

(New and refurbished!)
First of all I still drop my bow where I'm standing, in R11, then I tumble at half speed to R9, then back to R11, hoping to provoke no AoO from Smasher, drawing greataxe as part of the action. I then smash Lil' (cuddly, puny) Smasher's head in with my Great Axe. :smallbiggrin:

Your last version of that turn was completely legal. What grounds do you have for changing it? :smallconfused: (Obviously you still missed, but that's not really the point.)

[BlackGodofHeat]

My excuses, I was not aware that I could not change it after it was established I moved before I was due to go. I will then keep my older version, missing still, and you keep your AoO, missing also?

[Tanaric]

Whoops. Just noticed something. Smasher didn't have enough movement to make it to S-12. He's actually standing in S-10. Apologies. If this would have changed Arie's turn, feel free to ask for a rewind.

[Lubirio]

I will instead move to Q9, thanks. :smallwink:

[Tanaric]

Smasher, round 6

Full round action: Withdraw to W-17.

Done.

[BlackGodofHeat]

Neither update on movement will change my originally posted turn, as I didn't move... Your go Tanaric.

Oh, I took my while reading, nevermind...

[Tanaric]

Immediate action: Spend 2 pp to negate the damage.

Smasher, round 7

Double move to L-17.

Done.

[Lubirio]

You can only spend 1 pp at character lvl 1, so you still take 2 damage

[Tanaric]

Wrong. You're thinking of manifesting powers. Resilience is a racial ability with no such restriction.

[Lubirio]

I see.

[Tanaric]

Smasher, round 8

Move to G-15. Cast a spell

Start glowing huh?

... I don't have the source for that spell. :smallredface:
Could you please tell me what source it's from then?

[Lubirio]

I'm assuming the range for the spell is more than 15ft?

Arie Na - Round 8:

Move to K15 for 30ft of movement (with [roll0]DC10), then cast a spell in Smasher's direction:

You do realize that Smasher is 20 ft away from K-15, right? :smallconfused: (I don't need spellcraft to know that you're trying to color spray me.)

Not important anymore. Yay strength penalties. :smallbiggrin:

[Lubirio]

from G15 to K15 is 15ft, no? (oh wait, no nvm)

Anyway, I'm not on land...

[BlackGodofHeat]

Can I make a 2-handed unarmed strike? Since D&D isn't logical I thought maybe...

[Tanaric]

It really isn't. :smallconfused:

Let's see how that works out before I decide where the second ray goes.

[Tanaric]

Pfft.

Smasher, round 9 continued

continued standard: release second ray of light at Arie.

Attack vs Touch AC: [roll0]

Damage: [roll1]

Will finish turn once I see the results.

Oh come on. I couldn't get one lucky break? :smallfrown:

Not that it matters this time, as the second ray missed, but I think you have to release them simultaneously.

[Lubirio]

Arie takes 1 total damage, and it's my turn again. :smallbiggrin:

Arie Na - Round 9

Try to climb up again (2 climbs if needed, go with first one first: [roll0], [roll1]) then finish movement in J15, and if the first climb succeeded, cast spell at Smasher. (yes, I'm that predictable...)

Okay... so you color sprayed in my general direction and hit the post? :smallconfused:

Hey man, I won't argue. It's legal. :smallwink:

You maybe should have waited for me to finish my turn?

[Lubirio]

I thought the 'partial standard' action meant you could do two at a time, instead of it being HALF a standard... I guess I now lose the spell, Kup's turn. :smallfrown:

[Tanaric]

As Kyeudo informed me, the school of hard knocks teaches an accelerated curriculum. Tough break, Lubirio. :smallfrown: For what it's worth, I'd let you take that action back if not for cemented arena rulings.

[Lubirio]

"Life's hard, and then you die..."

It's still a 2v1. :smalltongue: I have every confidence in my ability to lose this round. :smallwink:

"SMASHER SMAAAAASH!"

[Sallera]

That was impressive. Especially since my only contribution to the fight was a scroll of Hold Person. :smallbiggrin:

[Tanaric]

Which I really must thank you for bringing. So useful. :smallbiggrin:

[Lubirio]

The scroll was indeed very useful, otherwise Kup might not have activated his rage, and he would have had a turn extra, a whole turn.

I can't say much else besides "well played," and "good game," really... :smallannoyed:

[Tanaric]

I'd go with "amazing luck", myself. Smasher only survived because of several rolls in his favor. First the easy will save, then dodging several potentially lethal arrows...

But yes, good game.

Also: "SMASHER SMASH!" :smalltongue:

[Lubirio]

that works, and luck did play a major factor, there was an adequate chance (I think 40%) that Kup would've killed you in the charge, but he smashes into the tree instead...
