Mad Al (http://www.coyotecode.net/profiler/view.php?id=6774) - Psionic Dog
Musical Simba (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=131705) - Ganurath

All Gladiators, please declare final purchases (if any) and roll for initiative.

[Ganurath]

No purchases, reserve right to reaction. "There can be only one!"

[roll0]

[Psionic Dog]

"May the best Dromite Win."

Purchasing:
2x powerstones vigor [50]
2x powerstones deflection field [50]
spiked gauntlet [5]

[roll0]

[Ganurath]

No reactive purchases. Go nuts! Not that you haven't already thinking your dromite can win this.

[Psionic Dog]

Mad Al

Al would have to be a compete idiot to not use all those juicy buffs he bought, right? Well they don't call him 'Mad' for nothing.

Anyway, leaving the 7 normal bolts outside of the arena to stay within weight.

Move: Sneak to M-8
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

From there Al should have LoS to K-12, L-13, and most other likely spots for Simba to end his turn.

Standard: Ready Action
Wild-surged energy ray(fire) w/ psionic shot if Musical:
+ Leaves Cover/Concealment (and is within 30ft)
+ Ends turn in LoS (and is within 30ft)
+ Starts to leave LoS (and is within 30ft)


Done.

Stats
HP: 7/7
AC: 19 (+1size +4dex +3armor +1natural)
PP: 4/4
Psionic Focus: Yes

[Ganurath]

Musical Simba

He didn't take any movement buffs, so he still has the same L8-O8 range. He won't want a repeat of last time, though, so we can rule out L8. The other three are functionally identical in coverage, so I just need to avoid being seen by that region. Ergo...

Double move, with shield and ax but without armor, to O14.

[roll3]

Stats:HP: 14/14
AC: 16 Full, 13 FF, 13 Touch, +3 Shield, +3 Armor
Saves: Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +1
Special: Pounce, Whirling Frenzy 1/day

Turn Complete.

[Sallera]

Refs:Listen for Al: [roll0]

Mad Al:You hear movement to the southeast.

Musical Simba:No LoS.

[Psionic Dog]

Mad Al - Round 2
So much for plan 'A'. Musical must be behind at least 5ft of mist... somewhere. I have my guesses but taking full concealment pot shots with murky-eyed vision is pointless. I guess this will be plan 'B' after all.

Ref Question: Can one retrieve multiple scrolls/powerstones with one action?

Move: Draw Powerstone<Vigor>. If legal also retrieve a Powerstone<Deflection Field> as well.

Standard: Manifest Vigor quietly.

Free: 5-ft step south to N-8

[Ganurath]

Musical Simba

He'd have to be deaf not to have heard me after that. Given my initial hypothesis, that means he knows I'm somewhere to the east. Given that the best options that he couldn't see are along the narrow pass south of me, he'll have either maintained position or moved to where he has a better view of that passage, depending on his original location. As such, my best option is to manuever north, getting closer to him while remaining out of LoS. Ergo:

Double move at half speed, from O14 to L14(20) to K13(25) to K10(40.)

Turn Complete.

[Psionic Dog]

Could we get a LoS check?

[Sallera]

Mad Al:Musical is in K10.

Musical:No LoS.

[Psionic Dog]

Ah, back to our traditional Zap-Slash-Throttle tactics.
Or maybe not. Well find out soon enough.

Mad Al - Round 3

FOOSH!
A bolt of fire races out to give Musical the traditional greeting.

[roll2] [roll3]

If you didn't see Mad Al before it's against flat foot AC and the Dromite is reveled to be in N-8.

Not Done...

[Psionic Dog]

Oh. Oh my.

Yes, that was an excellent time to not post "miss low"

[roll0]
[roll1]

If Simba happens to still live Al tumbles back into the clouds and out of LoS.

[roll2] DC 15
Move to O-7 and back to O-8

Musical is smoldering, Mad Al is victorious.
