All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any

[madtinker]

Okay, the maiden voyage of the fair ship Ginger is about to set forth. It will not be for the feint of heart!

Init: [roll0]

No purchases, but maybe a reactive purchase.

Edit: Question: What is the range of Kelgore's Firebolt? It is a reflex save, yes?

[Ganurath]

[roll0]

No purchases, Medium range, Reflex half. Given that, any purchases?

[madtinker]

No, still nothing.
CTJ, Rd 1

Start in W10 with shortbow in off hand and wielding rapier. Run to C10 (stopping early if he is in my way).

Well, seeing as to how you're making a tribute to Musical Simba's style...

1. C10
2. D10
3. C11
4. D11

[roll0]

[Ganurath]

Kelgore Junior

I'll make a 5ft step to D12, which doesn't provoke AoOs. Then, I'll pop the Captain's Arena cherry with a CL4 Firebolt.

[roll0]

Reflex 17 for half.

INI Ref, RandomAction:
Ganurath - For the first round both combatants are under the influence of a sancutary spell and are unable to attack. You need to redo your turn.

[madtinker]

Well, actually the sanctuary spell says that he can try to attack but must first make a will save. If he fails, the spell/action is lost.

True for the spell, but the map states no save allowed.

[Ganurath]

INI Ref, RandomAction:
Ganurath - For the first round both combatants are under the influence of a sancutary spell and are unable to attack. You need to redo your turn.Upon review of the Arena thread's standard opening posts, I found no evidence of such a rule. Citation?

[RandomAction]

Look at the bottom of the map. It is under the arena description. It clearly states that for the first round of combat both gladiators are under the effect of a Sanctuary Spell, with no save allowed.

[Ganurath]

In that case...

Kelgore Junior

KJ will move to A14 before ducking south out of sight.Upon arriving in A16, he will ready an action to cast Kelgore's Firebolt triggered by establishing LoS on the target.

Stats:HP: 6/6
AC: 14 Full, 14 Touch, 10 FF, +4 Dex

[madtinker]

DRAW

CTJ Rd 2
Hhm...If I were him, I would only run far enough to break LoS then ready an action to blast me if I come get him. He's not stupid enough to go toe to toe. If I hide out, this will take forever, but if I chase him, I'll die. Wish I could cast darkness.

Declare dodge against Kelgore Junior

Run to Y14

Hello refs


@Captain

No LoS


@Kelgore

No LoS, but you hear footsteps going east.

[Ganurath]

Kelgore Junior

Tumble at half speed from A16 to A13.

Stats:HP: 6/6
AC: 14 Full, 14 Touch, 10 FF, +4 Dex

Awaiting LoS before further action.

[Sallera]

LoS established as Kelgore enters A15. Bluejay is in Y14. Kelgore may revise movement from this point.

[Ganurath]

Kelgore Junior

In that case, the half-speed Tumble will end in B13 rather than the original A13. KJ will then blast his opponent with his father's famous fire spell, thanks to those increases in caster level improving range as well as damage. Reflex DC 17 for half damage.

[madtinker]

Reflex save: [roll0]

I'm dead.

[Sallera]

Well, it seems the Captain gets a second chance at life. Now that we've gotten a ruling on the legality of attempting to attack on the first turn, we'll have to rewind. Kelgore's original Round 1 stands, although the spell naturally fails. Rewind to the beginning of Tom's Round 2 turn.

[Tanaric]

Your original turn was legal, but your spell failed when you tried to cast it under the effect of the Arena Sanctuary spell. Thus, the rewind requested by Random was not required, and your first turn stands.

[madtinker]

Captain Tom Bluejay, Rd 2 again

Let's try this again, then. Reflex 17 for half against Kelgore's Firebolt!
