Ayl, Round 3

Refs/LoS:Ok, scattering time. 30ft move speed, probably would have wanted to drink a potion first turn, so he's in either L10 or M10. Provided he hasn't anticipated this and done something less obvious, at least.

[Psionic Dog]

High Ref PsiDog

Rewind to start of VR's round 3 action.

First VR hears a shout: "Left! Left! No, your other left, you rock-eater!"

Moments later LoS is established as Ayl ends in U-10.
VR is in N-6.

The combatants have cover against each other.

Edit:
I believe Ayl is holding a greatsword in one hand and as short bow in the other.
VR is holding a potion in one hand, and a bastard sword in the other with a shield on one arm.

[Sallera]

Ah, I only used one move action to reach U10, that wasn't the end of my turn. I'll end in T6.

[Psionic Dog]

Oh, that wasn't a half-speed double move? :smallconfused:

Sallera is correct. My bad.

[madtinker]

VR, Round 3 rewind

If I draw a potion at this point, will that incur an AoO, since you don't have a melee weapon? If I don't provoke an AoO, I draw a potion CLW. If I would incur an AoO, I do not draw the potion.

[Sallera]

Ah, sorry, thought you were done since you posted a statblock. No, it wouldn't have provoked, but since you did that, I won't 5ft step back at the end of my turn. No other change.

[madtinker]

That was supposed to be the end of my last turn, but since you missed, it doesn't matter. Edit: as long as it gets done, doesn't matter.

[madtinker]

That's game. Nice one.

[Sallera]

Aye, a good match; lot closer than I'd expected. And my Force Screen just wore off, too. It's fun being able to completely negate the average crit, though. :smalltongue:

[madtinker]

Those maneuvers...are they standard actions or melee attacks that could be used with a charge?

[Sallera]

Most are standard actions. A few, like Charging Minotaur, are specifically used with a charge, but the rest can't be.

[madtinker]

So, if I had withdrawn yo couldn't have used a fancy maneuver unless you had that prepared more than once?

[Sallera]

Well, essentially yes, except that Crusader maneuvers refresh every four turns, granting you two at first and then one each round. So there's a decent chance that if you'd done that, I'd have had Charging Minotaur available at the time, which is actually easier for me to hit with and only does 1 less damage. >>;;

[madtinker]

That's pretty much what I figured, so I stood my ground. My crit made me nervous though; You had so many bad rolls, even though each roll i independent of the others, you were due for some good ones and I knew i was in trouble. Now I'll just put Violent in the next round and get a whole bunch more gold before I level him.

[Mavian]

Ayl gets the win and the loot

[ArenaManager]

Ayl was in the loser's bracket going in, so I believe there needs to be another match, right?

No, this was an Endurance round, there was no loser's bracket.
