All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any final purchases

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.

[hustlertwo]

Darn, up against two of the most likable and helpful users in the Arena ranks. But I suppose it was likely to happen sooner or later.

Init: [roll0]

No buys right yet, but the night is young. We'll see what the rest of you snag.

[Sallera]

Init: [roll0]

Purchased a composite+2 longbow and 40 arrows since the last match.

Mr. Solus:If previous experience is any indication, Abogralia's going to run around a corner and head for the roof. I'd ignore her and focus on hitting Golem as hard as we can, since composite longbow + 1d6 firebolts will be more than enough to deal with Abogralia's crossbow sniping.

Squirrel! /Christmas Vacation reference
Make that 3d6 firebolts, as long as I'm not firing them from a readied action. Arcanist's Gloves allow 2 level 1 spells per day to be cast at a +2 caster level. And I've no need to use it on the Color Sprays, as those are basically the same at any level. Plus, I also have a powered up composite bow, so I can do 1d6+1 per arrow, and fire two arrows per turn with Rapid Shot.

[Sallera]

Solus:Right, I just meant use the 3d6 bolts on Golem, since you probably won't need to save any for Abogralia.

[hustlertwo]

Squirrel

Hopefully we'll only need one souped-up KFB for him. Odds are against him making the reflex save with only a +1 mod, so a high enough damage roll could one-shot him.

[RandomAction]

Hustler - Thanks for the helpful vote. Sadly, I haven't been too much here of late.

Abogralia:Hmm...my main role is tanking. You seem to be a cabale sniper. Here is my plan. Since the caster will be more than likely boosting his spell against me, I will go North, behind the buildings and you go south, doing the same. Try to take yours out if/when they come behind the building to look for you.
I will be moving behind my buildings' row, hopefully the caster will come after me. If I can get in close for a charge, then I may be able to 1 shot him. This is the best idea I can come up with.

Golem, Ini roll:[roll0]
I will be making some purchases.
2 potions of repair light damage, 50gp each
1 potion of Sanctuary. 50gp

[hustlertwo]

I went ahead and bought 6 more masterwork arrows.

[Scorer]

Reporting in

Of all the people it had to be you! Well... If my minions don't get you in the draconic, I will!!!! *makes a funny angry face*

@Golem

I need to analize things to see if it serves, or if it is better for me to climb a building, I've got a grappling hook, rope etc etc....

I will buy some time to analize while I think my purchases


Rolling init
[roll0]

Still need to think if need purchases

[hustlertwo]

So init order after some very subpar rolls:

Abogralia
Golem
Mr. Solus
Squirrel

[Scorer]

@Golem

After a through evaluation, we're depending on rolls mostly, it's going to be a toughy...

I will buy a Drow posion bolt and see what happens...

I will follow your plan.

Good luck matey


I sell my mount (75gp) and buy Drow Poison Bolt with it (76gp)

Ready to Go!

(everyone else ready?)

[Sallera]

Aye, ready.

[RandomAction]

Abogralia:Ok. Have you climb atop a building before or here recently? I am trying to decide here. Should you climb anyway, or stay on the ground? Your turn, since you are first, I think you should shoot Squirrel(Lower AC, but need to remove his high Hp) and go behind the building. The next turn, I suggest climbing. Could give some good recon up there, Pop head up, make LoS, yell at me, Fire, drop prone.
My first turn, I will drink my potion(Sanctuary) and then move forward towards the smaller building. If they attack me, then a wil save or lose action, I choose this method dealing with Solus and his spells(since his wil save is low) and my DR wil handle an attack from Squirrel.
If either one or both, attack and fail the save, then my guess is they will split. If they stay together, that is were your high point of view will come in handy.
This is just my theories, but it does seem most likely to happen. BTW, did I mention I love to play chess and strategy games, LOL!

No futher purchases.

Ready to go.

[hustlertwo]

Can you buy a bolt with the poison already applied? I thought you had to apply it yourself in the battle. Please let me know either way; I like Drow Poison too, and I'll have to start buying some arrows of it to keep around.

Oh, and I'm ready to go.

[Sallera]

As far as I know, you do indeed need to spend the action to apply it. Especially since there's that chance of poisoning yourself while doing so.

[hustlertwo]

Yeah, 5%. I forgot it in the one match I used the stuff, but I lost, so it didn't really matter. Standard action to apply it, I think.

[Scorer]

Abogralia 1st Turn

Whisper to Golem

We'll go by the north south plan... I forgot Sallera reffed me and knows I will try to climb... let's make them think that...

[hustlertwo]

Still wondering about those Drow Poison bolts, Scorer, if you can fill me in on them so I might procure some for future battles.

Solus, Round 1

Solus starts in X-10 with a bottle in the main hand and a bow in the other.

Free: Whisper to Squirrel: Looks like the warforged is going all-out. Stay out of his charging range; we can't stop him from reaching one of us on a run, but if he does, we have a fairly good shot at killing him before he can do anything else.

Standard: drink from bottle.

Free: chuck empty container.

Move: To Z-6.

End turn.

Stats:

HP: 9/9
AC: 21
Shield of Faith 10/10
Equipped: Bow (off hand)
Spells remaining: All

[Scorer]

It is just that I buy the bolt and the poison, just to round up numbers to gold pieces, I still apply it normally...

[hustlertwo]

Crap. I thought I'd found something to boost up Solus when he leveled, to keep him from being outclassed due to his lack of spell variety. Nasty-ass poison long distance seemed like the way to go.

[Sallera]

Squirrel, Round 1

Starting in X11, wielding bow.
Move to Z13.

[hustlertwo]

Couple of shy sorts, eh? Hopefully that doesn't last.

I will do something I don't think I have yet in my 18 or so matches: hide, since I believe the corner of the building would provide cover. [roll0] factoring in -2 for armor check and +4 for being Small. I will then use Ghost Sound as a standard action, creating the sound of footsteps heading to Z-2.

Done.

[Sallera]

Oh, and it's Abogralia's turn now; that was a readied action of mine, if it wasn't clear, so I act before Golem now.

[RandomAction]

Refs only:Just to be sure on my part, I can use a delay action during my next turn to instead act after Solus right?

[Sallera]

Refs/Golem:Hmm, just realized, that was probably a Sanctuary potion you drank. Will save, if that's so: [roll0] against DC11, yes?

[RandomAction]

Refs/Squirrel:Yes, it was. Good guess by the way.

@Refs
There are currently only two isssues: hustler's hide & ghost sound.

Abogralia
You see Squirrel in Z13
Edit: correction, you don't see Golem.

Golem
EDIT: My bad. I mistakenly had you in J6.

No LoS.

Squirrel
Abogralia moved north int A-14, and Mr. Solus is in Z-6.

Correction: You do not see Golem

Mr. Solus
You see Abogralia move north into A-14.
Squirrel is in Z-13

Edit: LoS mistake revised.

[RandomAction]

Ref question:How is it possible that I have LoS to both Squirrel and Abogralia? Looking at my position in Q-3, versuses theirs in A-14/Z-13 respectively, it seems that I have corners of two buildings blocking LoS. Am I right or wrong on this one?

Fort save? I can guess what that was, given the earlier conversations. Cut it a little close, but I'm not complaining. Good thing it wasn't that sassone leaf stuff you tried to use on me in round 58, Sallera. Guess it's your go.

[RandomAction]

Ok, about the LoS check earlier. Ignore having LoS with Golem, cause you don't. I have asked a ref about this.

Second, I am going to use a delay action to act after Mr. Solus. So your up Hustlertwo.

[hustlertwo]

Well, *** ought to be reeling, since by the sheet the first arrow should have hit. Let's try for a finisher and hope there's no epic fail.

Mr. Solus moves to Y-12, and activates his Arcanist's Gloves to cast a boosted Kelgore's Fire Bolt on Abogralia. [roll0] Reflex for half, minimum of 1 damage.

Done.

Ref Save
[roll0]

And Squirrel attack didn't hit me, as I was far from 110'

[hustlertwo]

Poop, you're right. He wasn't that far from it, but enough to incur a -2 penalty on each shot. 4 damage to you, then, and the battle continues (DC was 14, not that it matters even slightly)

Also, why did the board censor the first three letters of Abogralia when I used them before in the last post to refer to the character? Weird.

[RandomAction]

Since it was posted openly. If I am right, Squirrel missed because of the -2 ranged penalty.

Now my turn.

Golem,R-3,last:

Ouch, nat 20 in the wrong place. Know how that feels. Sallera's up. Nice to have the match move this fast. Shame it probably won't again though, since we'll have to allow a few more days for another LoS check.

And wouldn't that be +5 instead of +7 due to range? Not that it matters, of course.

[RandomAction]

LOL, true. But I will be on for a while longer, so if everyone else is, then maybe we can get a round or two over quick?

Just thought of it, but we already know there is no LoS right now. Your up Sallera.

Ini order:
Abogralia
Squirrel
Mr Solus
Golem

[hustlertwo]

I'm game, got questions to write anyhow. But like I said, LoS is a major issue when you're talking 2v2 or FFA. No one wants to do the checks. Not that they can be blamed; clearly ours wasn't an easy one.

[Sallera]

Squirrel, Round 4

Well, I don't know how, since both my opponents have decided to run away and make things difficult... :smalltongue:

Refs/LoS:Whisper to Solus:I'm going south, around the buildings. The squishy probably won't be expecting me to pop up right next to her. Also, might I recommend saving your second boosted spell for the one with the poor reflex save?

My turn stays as it was previously, except I whisper to Squirrel before I move: Good to know. I think he should be our primary target, I noticed Abogralia has a pile of cure potions, so unless we kill her all at once, she can win through attrition. Hopefully I can lure the Warforged into a Color Spray. If I do, we need to kill him very dead, so she can't take one of his potions and bring him back. Not just 0, -10. And on that note, if I fall, I'm packing 1 CLW, so you can use it to bring me back, or keep it for yourself if you'd rather.

Some clarification needed:

Squirrel:
How do you 'switch bow to two-handed grip' when you dropped it in M20 in round 4?

Nvm, that happened in the not-revised turn, in the revised turn you didn't do that, all cleared up. :smallwink:

[Tanaric]

Refs:The bow drop happened after the activation of the Chronocharm, and Squirrel's turn was revised before that event. I don't see any mention of dropping the bow in the revised turn.

[Lubirio]

Refs:
I see, mistakes happen. :smallwink:
Golem can listen to Mr Solus approaching, but there's two 'doors' in between them (2 wooden walls), or a 'stone wall' increasing the listen dc by 10 and 15 respectively, that and distance all accounted for Golem can't hear Mr. Solus.

LoS:

Squirrel:
You see Mr. Solus move to G12.

Mr. Solus:
Squirrel is still in Z13, as you pass through K12, you see Golem standing in L18 with cover from you. You may revise your turn from there if you like.

Golem:
You see Mr. Solus moving into K12, you have cover from him.

Abogralia:
No LoS.

Hold up.

[RandomAction]

Refs/LoS:
Ok, my readied action goes off. Golem moves to K-16 as stated earlier. I will wait for him to revise his turn before I make my move.

[Lubirio]

Mr. Solus:
Golem's readied action goes off and he moves to K16, do you keep your move as posted or finish your move somewhere else?

[hustlertwo]

Refs/LoS

I'm actually in K-11, not K-12; my move plan was originally straight until the last square. I doubt that matters, though. I will move west, breaking LoS as I go to M-11, I think, and ending at O-10

[RandomAction]

Not done, needing LoS.

[Sallera]

Er, if you just took a readied action, it's Abogralia's turn.

[hustlertwo]

Since your readied action went off, you don't go after me; as soon as I finished my altered turn, it became ***'s, then Squirrel, then you, then me. Same way it was earlier with Squirrel's readied. So you appear to be going out of order.

And yes, I'm running. But not hiding...yet. :smallamused:

[HCL]

Random side note, I think "***" might be a racial slur for Aborigines (I am not australian, merely hypothesizing), hence why the forum is censoring you.

[RandomAction]

Ooppps! Sorry about that. I was thinking that I still had a 5th round turn, since the readied action was made during the 4th round.

[hustlertwo]

Nah, readied actions can't let you have two turns before the triggering person takes one. Otherwise we'd never see any other kind of action (of course, we barely do anyhow, Arena runs on readied actions). But no worries Random, easy mistake. Now we just wait for Scorer. And interesting, I would not have made that connection with the name, but it's as good of an explanation as any. Definitely not a slur in America, unless I'm just really out of the loop.

[RandomAction]

First I heard of that slur. Guess that makes two of us Hustler.

I have you listed as in O-10. Shout out if that isn't where you are/where.

You have LoS to every one.
Squirrel is in Z-13
Abogralia moves to A-14 and shoots you, the closest target. (you may read post 75)
Golem is in K-16. You have cover from each other, but LoS was never quite broken when I draw the lines.

Abogralia
Starting in A-15 you have LoS to both your opponents: Mr Solus is in O-10, Squirrel is in K-13.

I believe you target Mr. Solus (who I believe is close enough to be within your first range increment) as opposed to Squirrel (who is far enough away to have forced a -2 range penalty)

Golem
I have you listed as still in K-16 as of post #75-77, shout out if that's incorrect.

I believe you never lost sight to Mr. Solus. Mr. Solus is in O-10 and has cover relative to you. No other LoS

[hustlertwo]

OK, Sallera, you're up again apparently. No idea what the initiative order is anymore. I'm waiting for confirmation from Scorer that I was the one hit with the attack before I update my stat block.

[Sallera]

Squirrel

I'm actually in O-10 already. Just make it O-9 or something.

[Scorer]

yes you were the one hit...

who's next? I'm lost on initiative order as well...

[hustlertwo]

Just making sure, so I can say this...

Mr. Solus swats the bolt away, like a bothersome fly.

((Don't feel bad. You're now the fourth person to not notice I had this. And one of them even injured himself for Blade of Blood and put it on a True Strike'd bolt which I knocked back. Originally I had thought the point of Deflect Arrows was deterrence, that it would force ranged fighters to rethink their strategies. But apparently most of the time it simply isn't noticed, which is even better. And yes, this is part of the reason I wanted Squirrel for a partner; he was already wise to this, as he was the third who attacked one of my guys with a ranged weapon and got nothing for his efforts.))

[Sallera]

Should be Golem's turn. Did that shot hit you, Abogralia?

[Scorer]

yup, that was a hit

[hustlertwo]

Since as far as I know there haven't been any readied actions triggered, initiative should still be same. Random next, then me, then Abogralia (accursed inability to abbreviate!), then Squirrel again.

[RandomAction]

I made a horrible mistake earlier, I posted in the wrong room, LOL.

Golem,R-6,3rd to act:
Move to N-11.
Scream aloud: "GOLEM!"
Attack Mr. Solus - standard action.
Attack:
Damage: [roll]1d10+4
Crit check: [roll1]
Crit damage: [roll2]

End turn.

Stats:
Location N-11
Hp: 15/15
AC:21(10+8armor+2shield+1dex);T-11;F-20
Saves: F +6; R +1; W -1
Attacks: +6 Maul, dmg 1d10+4str, crit x3, Blunt
Spot/Listen: -1/-1

[RandomAction]

Not needed but here is the damage roll.
Damage:[roll0]

[hustlertwo]

Wow, this is a really tough call. On one hand, I have an opportunity to hit the Warforged with a Color Spray. However, I don't really know how to maneuver it so I don't tag Squirrel with it as well, given I only have a 5 foot step to work with. On the other hand, I could try a jazzed-up Firebolt or Rapid Shot barrage to end the injured Abogralia and turn this into a handicap match. Neither are guaranteed; got to have better than six damage on the bolt, or hit with one arrow for at least three damage.

Well, what the heck. It seems like the best choice statistically, hopefully it does not bite me in the end.

5-foot step to O-9, activate Arcanist's Gloves, target Abogralia with a Kelgore's Fire Bolt. Reflex to halve, DC 14: [roll0]

Say to Squirrel (and presumably Golem, since he's right there): Hopefully this is not a horrendous mistake. If I can take out the archer, even if the big galoot kills me, you should be able to take him out by keeping away with your high move and pegging him with arrows. Be sure to go finish off Abogralia before you do anything else, don't let him have a chance to revive her.

After this, I'm pretty much out of tricks.

Stats:

HP: 9
AC: 21
Position: O-9
Equipped: Bow (off hand)
Spells remaining: All 0 level, 1 level 1.

[Sallera]

Squirrel, Round 7

5ft step to P12.

Full-round: Attack.
Attack Golem: [roll0]

Stats:HP 15/18, AC18 (14, 14)

[hustlertwo]

Since Abogralia is down regardless of the reflex save result (though obviously we will still need it at some point for stabilization purposes and whatnot), I guess it's Golem's turn.

[RandomAction]

Golem,R-7,2nd to act:
5' step to O-11.
Attack Squirrel, standard action.
Attack: [roll0]
Crit check: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]

[Sallera]

Hit, still up though.

"Well, he's wide open for the shiny colours now..."

[RandomAction]

Well, this is gonna go fast now, LOL.

[Scorer]

Abogralia 7th and 8th Turn (I guess)

Reflex Save
[roll]1d20+8[/spoiler]
(this is when I hate not having evasion yet)

Stabilization (1-10 = stable)
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Scorer]

spoiler.. sure :smallannoyed:

[roll0]

[Sallera]

I think that means you're down, then, since when you're helpless, even a 9 hits. Although I suppose it isn't likely to matter.

[hustlertwo]

One way or the other, I guess we have a chance at ending this match soon. Sweet!

Unless we lose, of course.

Solus moves to L-11, avoiding threatened squares, and casts Color Spray. Golem is in the 15 foot range, Squirrel ain't. Will Save DC 14 or go unconscious, I'll roll that if it works (not that it matters; one round of unconsciousness will lead to your demise through CdG doulbeup).

Free: Speak to Squirrel: "If this fails, withdraw! I do not stand much of a chance of beating him if you perish. But if I fall, victory is still within your grasp."

[RandomAction]

Of all the times I need a good roll, now is it.

Golem Wil save vs DC 14: [roll0]

[Sallera]

... nice job cursing yourself.

CdG for [roll0].

[hustlertwo]

That...was not a good roll. It was in fact the opposite. We can go through the motions if you want, but even with your DR I don't think you could survive two rounds of CdG. Great game, guys. Just a slight nudge on the rolls could have switched the outcome. Hopefully you take it as a compliment when I say I hope you lose again before the finals.

[hustlertwo]

Well, if you're going to do it, I guess I will too.

Tiny fist coup-de-grace!

[roll0]

Somehow, I just knew that would happen, since it didn't matter in the slightest.

[RandomAction]

I admit that was the worst roll in history, but hopefully I will be seeing you both in the finals

[Scorer]

Oh yes we will :smallamused:

[RandomAction]

Sorry we lost partner.

[RandomAction]

Just for a lark, the light fortification of a warforged negates criticals hits 25% of the time.
First attack: 1-25 regular hit. [roll0]
Second attack: 1-25 regular hit. [roll1]

It probably won't help, but just in case, LOL!

[RandomAction]

Anyways dead is dead. Good match you two.

[hustlertwo]

Agh, my CdG failed! I guess it would just be 4 damage, and thus only 2 with your DR. Golem is definitely a disturbing fellow.

[Scorer]

I will be LoA until friday... it won't affect this match, and if a new update comes I think I may be in time... but it doesn't hurt to tell anyway...

and don't worry Random, we will get them at the final... twice :smallamused:

[hustlertwo]

Since the other match in our round is still on its first page, I'd be shocked if a new one was made by then, much less in time for you to be a DQ risk (which would pretty much require the match to be made about now, since you get three days grace at the start of a match, and that's all the longer you're gone). Odds are we won't be fighting again in this round until well into November, with the finals around early December.

Mr. Solus and Squirrel triumph!
