GM Kyeudo

Deathbringer dies by ref lightning due to DQ.

Carry on.

[Lubirio]

How is Deathbringer DQ'ed, when it's Kil'ak's turn?

[hustlertwo]

This does pose an interesting quandary. Technically, Lubirio's DQ is valid, as it was his turn. However, going just by the rolls, it appeared to be Kil'ak's. Only by reading Tanaric's post was it apparent that he mistyped his Init modifier, putting him last instead of third in the turn order. I think I'll overturn this one, and say play continues, and it's Deathbringer's turn. Lubirio being knocked out due to Tanaric's mistake seems a bit off.

[Tanaric]

Well, I did post the correction right out in the open, but I don't want any DQs if we don't need them. *shrug*

I don't see what else I could have done short of rerolling, which wouldn't have been very fair, yeah?

[hustlertwo]

I'm not blaming you, Tanaric. Mistakes happen, wrong rolls are made all the time. I just don't think someone else should have to pay for it.

[Lubirio]

Sorry, I didn't notice the Edit part in his post, just went by the actual rolls, I'll go now, turn in next post. :smallredface:

[Tanaric]

To be clear, I wasn't asking for Lubirio to be re-DQed. I don't like winning by TKOs.

Let's go Lubirio, let's go! *waves pom poms in annoying cheerleader fashion*

[Lubirio]

*shakes head at cheerleaders*

Kil'ak, round 1

Starting in M-2, riding animal companion, holding a metric ton of scrolls in one hand. (Don't ask how.) Standard riding dog is in M-1, not wearing a saddle or its barding this time. Animal companion is wearing its saddle, but nothing else.

Move: Handle riding dog to seek southwest around the center platform, then south toward Chile's starting position, barking if it finds anything. [roll0] vs DC 10

Standard: Find a scroll of invisibility from somewhere in the pile and attempt to read it, failing on a 1: [roll1] vs DC 4. If successful, share spell with animal companion.

Not done.

[Tanaric]

Kil'ak, round 1 cont.

Kil'ak and AC becomes invisible, riding dog begins to carry out its orders. Per the debacle of the last match Kil'ak was in, a ref should determine exact squares since Kil'ak isn't around to guide it.

Refs:Spot for Deathbringer: [roll0]

Deathbringer:You see Chile in I22 when you reach C9. Does this change your action?

Clarification needed.

[Lubirio]

Refs:
Since I can make it in one move from C9 to C3, I stop my first move action in C9, then use a free action to do the following: (you can give him this copy-and-pasted :smallwink:)
"Deathbringer looks Chile in the eye and makes sure he's watching, then motions to him with his right hand, then to himself with his right hand. He then proceeds to 'behead' himself with his left hand, and make a clear cross with both arms in front of him. Finally, he gives Chile the thumbs up sign questioningly."

I will obviously wait for a reply if at all remotely possible.

[Sallera]

Chile:You see Deathbringer as he enters C9. He does the following:
"Deathbringer looks Chile in the eye and makes sure he's watching, then motions to him with his right hand, then to himself with his right hand. He then proceeds to 'behead' himself with his left hand, and make a clear cross with both arms in front of him. Finally, he gives Chile the thumbs up sign questioningly." Do you offer any sort of reply?

Yet more clarification needed.

[chilepepper]

refsChile VIII gives an affirmative. (if we get all technical, I suppose I can mouth "yes" when it's not my turn, since it's talking without vocalizing)

[Tanaric]

Are we waiting for LoS or ref clarification still?

[hustlertwo]

Yeah, I can look in the spoilers and I still can't quite figure out how things are going. Does still seem to be Chile's turn, though.

[Lubirio]

As far as I can tell, Sallera was in the process of giving us LoS, but required clarification from two players (myself being one of them), and then never finished the LoS. But correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have all the information.

[chilepepper]

I have not yet recieved LoS, I have reason to believe Lubirio isn't done yet, but I don't know if (s)he's waiting on ref action or not. Either way, I still need a LoS check before I take my turn.

[Sallera]

Chile:After giving you the signal, Deathbringer moves north out of sight. You see a riding dog in K13. You see Farfelkugel in W18.

Kil'ak:You see your riding dog in K13. Your AC seems to have spotted something to the south.

Farfelkugel:No LoS.

Deathbringer:You get an affirmative from Chile, then lose sight of him as you continue to C3. No LoS.

There is a ridding dog still in K-13

EDIT: LoS Revised. Apparently this ref needs more sleep.

[Tanaric]

Refs:A little clarification needed. The previous LoS check said my dog moved to K-13. As far as I'm aware, Deathbringer and my dog can't be in the same square currently.

This last bit could be interesting.
Ref Edit Stamp.


Kil'ak
No LoS, and I believe your mount is still invisible.
Your ridding dog continues south to K-17 where it begins barking again.

Chile VIII
You see the ridding dog continue south to K-17 where it begins barking again.

A kobold materializes in I-5 as it casts a spell of some sort, followed by the arena announcement that another gladiator has fallen.

Kil'ak seems to be mounted on something invisible.

[Tanaric]

Refs:My dog is indeed still invisible, as it hasn't done anything to break its invisibility.

Refs/LoS:Kil'ak attempts a fast dismount into J-4. Ride: [roll0]

Not done.

[Tanaric]

Refs/LoS:Whisper some stuff (Spot checks to read lips if you can see me and speak Draconic):Handle animal on the invisible mount, auto-pass DC, instructing it to seek South and attack Chile, using Scent to find him.

Kil'ak drops all but one of his held scrolls, then moves into the hedges in O-5.

Refs:Scroll is Invisibility.

Hide: [roll0]
Move Silently: [roll1]

Done. Edit: One moment. Done after minor ref question gets answered.

Edit: Refs:Dog's invisibility breaks as Kil'ak moves away, obviously. Ref adjucation as to exact movement path required.

[chilepepper]

So, waiting on whatever your last ref spoiler is, and LoS check for me.

[Psionic Dog]

@Refs
The dog's orders are to find and attack anything unfamiliar to the south, emphasis on scent.

I suppose that could mean "run around blindly until you pinpoint" but I'll guess its more likely that the dog will take move action to note a scents direction whenever it has no other clues.

As such the dog takes a double move south to I-17 (5 ft into scent range) and stops. It would have used a move action to note direction at this point, but since it took a double move to get that far it will have to wait until the next turn to check for the scent's direction.

Kil'ak
Your AC moved south to I-17 this turn, you loose LoS to it as you move east toward O-5.

No LoS

Chile VIII
Kil'ak dismounts and whispers to his mount, which turns into a visible riding dog as it moves south toward you.

Riding Dog #2 ends in I-17.

Meanwhile Kil'ak moves east, breaking LoS as he leaves K-6.

LoS to Barking Riding Dog in K-17 and Riding Dog #2 in I-17

[chilepepper]

@refs
Where did the other riding dog come from? I only see one total from everyone's sheets.

@Refs/Chile
It is a little confusing the way Tanaric worded his character sheet, but his current animal companion is listed up in the "Feats and Specal Abuilities" section where it states:

Wilderness Companion
-Lose Familiar, gain Animal Companion
- Riding Dog


The Swindlespitter is but one of his AC options, and was last used at the start of Round 73. Taneric added the stats to Kil'ak's character sheet at the request of one of his past opponents who didn't know what a Swindlespitter was.

[chilepepper]

refs
Ah, okay. Thank you.

So, just so I'm clear, what are each of the dogs wearing / carrying?

[Tanaric]

Are we still waiting on a ref question to be answered?

[chilepepper]

Yeppers. Sorry.

[Sallera]

Chile:Barking dog isn't wearing anything. Other dog has a saddle, but nothing else.

[chilepepper]

Chile - Round 3


Baleful Utterance on the saddle.
The saddle makes a DC 19 Will save or is destroyed

The spell can be cast on objects, which receive saving throws only if they are magical or if they are attended (held, worn, grasped, or the like) by a creature resisting the spell, in which case the object uses the creature’s saving throw bonus unless its own bonus is greater.
If that fails, then the dog makes a DC 19 Fort save or is Dazed 1 round and Deafened 10 rounds.

Please note: a ref needs to roll these saves. Kil'ak wouldn't know of my Baleful Utterance and since I'm targeting the saddle, the dog wouldn't either unless the saddle fails it save. Then the dog would know it's making a fort save, but Kil'ak still wouldn't know.

Then I'll rehide [roll0]

[Mavian]

That was me answering his question, not a LoS check.

[Tanaric]

Oh. Well. Can I get one while you're at it? :smallbiggrin:

[chilepepper]

It's possible that my ref discussion pushed location information too far up for refs to want to dig back to find it. I'm reposting my location to help with the LoS check for my opponent.

Meanwhile Kil'ak moves east, breaking LoS as he leaves K-6.

And the dog that had the riding saddle no longer has a riding saddle. I Shattered it, so make note on your sheet.

[chilepepper]

So, I just noticed a ref mistake. I'm not going to ask for a rewind because my chance of winning is so very slim and I don't want to stretch this out further than it's already gone.

The dog that was attacking me never rolled a spot check and therefore should have had a 50% miss chance instead of 20%. That's why I specifically asked if the dog was looking at me or sniffing at me. Scent pinpoints me but without a Spot success, it's like attacking an invisible creature. It would have made a difference because he also wouldn't have gotten an AoO from my movement.

[Sallera]

[roll0]

Hmm... does the use of the SLA not break hide due to lack of components? I assumed by the fact that you bothered to re-hide afterward that using the Shatter would have broken it.

[chilepepper]

Oh yeah, my mistake.

All warlock invocations have somatic components. I forgot to break LoS after using it to re-establish hide. So everything was correct. Good game everyone.

Tanaric, don't forget about the saddle.
