I chose Dawn Arena, but I can switch it to Kyace's if you prefer.

[Lubirio]

Dawn is fine, it gives us a turn to mess around with. :smallbiggrin:

[roll0]

You see a huge humanoid standing in front of you, wearing a plate armour of a silvery kind of colour, covering his entire posture, strapping on his shield of the same almost translucent colour before picking up his sword and flipping back his vizier, and you see eyes of such an intense blue they penetrate directly to your soul.

(He's 8' 2'', so not actually huge size...)

I pick dark red. :smallamused:

[Tanaric]

Initiative: [roll0]

Your opponent for today is a kobold with platinum scales, standing about knee-high to a regular human. He's wearing a gleaming breastplate emblazoned with what you presume is a holy symbol, with a matching white cloak trimmed with gold. Four greatswords are strapped to his body, but he carries a warhammer as his weapon. The fine silks that make up his clothing look slightly out of place, but no morso than the platinum buckled belt set with three black pearls, nor the anklet sporting a silver bell.

He looks at you placidly, as if trying to decide whether you're a threat or not.

Oh, yes. He's holding a wand in his off hand as well.

The kobold will be speaking in Royal Blue, should he deign to do so. :smalltongue:

[Lubirio]

... standing about knee-high to a regular human. He's wearing a gleaming breastplate ...

Ah, but that's a regular one, what about the really short ones huh? I bet he could be one third their size!

I don't know what point I'm making, I guess I'll just go then:

Fluff:
The Heavily Armoured Person comes straight towards you, in an unerring straight line, like a spear veered in for the kill. As he comes closer you notice he has a second sword seemingly identical to the first, hanging from his belt.

Crunch:
Double move: W11 -> K11.

[Tanaric]

The kobold does some stuff that I suspect you can't fathom, and abruptly there are [roll0] more of him clustered in his square. He and all of his new buddies sprout tiger-striped fur, their mouths distending into razor-toothed maws.

He stays standing where he started, still sizing you up.

Observers:Quickened Extended Shield, Bite of the Weretiger, Greater Mirror Image

[Lubirio]

Are they all in the same square, or are they somewhere else?

Edit: sizing me up would qualify me as medium in all respects. :smallwink:

[Tanaric]

They're all in the same square. Roll 1d7 to determine which one you attack.

[Lubirio]

Aha, I see.

The armoured man taunts the little kobold before charging up to the stack of kobolds, meaning to push them far, far away. Swinging his blade wildly as he went. He attacks the [roll0]th one, attempting a bull-rush (take your AoO).
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3] :smallbiggrin:

Because he moves through the square, he will dissipate all of them unless they go with him. :smallwink:

[Lubirio]

Since the attack likely hits, the attack does another [roll0] damage, doing [roll1] damage to himself. :smalltongue:

He will push the small kobold as far as he can.

[Tanaric]

First, AoO: [roll0] [roll1]

Your attack hits, and the illusory double vanishes as it flies backward through the air. Since you're now occupying an illegal square, you'll go back to the one before it, no?

Edit: Wait, how are you intending to "dissipate all of them" with one attack? :smallconfused:

[Lubirio]

Then the AoO is useless as I fil to even enter the square, no?

If it is as you say, I move back, allowing you another AoO. :smallbiggrin:

[Tanaric]

I... huh.

I think you try to enter the square (you must, to start a bull rush), then get slapped with an AoO. Once your attack hits the illusory double, it vanishes, and you're now occupying an illegal square. You auto-adjust to the square that you tried to enter mine from, not provoking an AoO since it's the game at work and not your actual movement.

Yes?

[Lubirio]

Right, so it's your turn, I now go to volleyball, I'll be back in a couple hours (about 2.5), so you have time to think. :smallwink:

[Tanaric]

Who needs to think? :smalltongue:

The kobold steps back five feet and suddenly you're battered from all directions by invisible wings.

Force damage: [roll0] and [roll1]

Ignore that striked out bit.

Observers:Wings of Flurry, Quickened Wings of Flurry

Forgot I used my swift for this turn with my immediate last turn. :smallfrown:

[Lubirio]

I don't get to roll a save for that damage?

Anyway, the armoured knight steps forward five feet as well, and begins slashing away furiously, trying to get all the illusions away and get at the real one.

[roll0] on the [roll1]th one.
[roll2], if the previous one hit, it's on the [roll3]th one, if it didn't, on the [roll4]th one.
[roll5], if the previous two both hit, it's on the [roll6]th one, if only one hit on the [roll7]th one, and if neither hit, on the [roll8]th one.

I'll roll damage as needed. You know, it would really help out if you just told me what your AC is. :smallamused:

Also, I forgot last time, but I get a +2 to both damage and attack, that's why full BAB is now +20, rather than +18.

[Tanaric]

Oh, sorry. I forgot to mention some stuff.

It's reflex half, dazed for a round if you fail the save.

Edit: And another image popped into being on the start of my turn. Sorry, I'm not usually this absentminded. :smallfrown:

[Lubirio]

Oh [bad word], I was hoping for a Fort, oh well. Reflex here we go: [roll0]

I guess you can ignore those attacks and go now...

[Tanaric]

And yet another image pops into being, bringing the total up to 9.

All four greatswords slide out of their sheathes and begin whirling about the kobold's torso in a rapid orbit, each one slashing at you once as it passes.

[roll0] [roll1]
[roll2] [roll3]
[roll4] [roll5]
[roll6] [roll7]

Observers:Steeldance, Quickened Steeldance

[Lubirio]

Recovering quickly from his dazed state, the knight begins slashing at the images, trying to blot them out, one by one.

How is the total 9 if there were originally 7, I dissipate one, and you add 1, there should be 7...

[roll0] on the [roll1]th one.
[roll2], if the previous one hit, it's on the [roll3]th one, if it didn't, on the [roll4]h one.
[roll5], if the previous two both hit, it's on the [roll6]th one, if only one hit on the [roll7]th one, and if neither hit, on the [roll8]th one.

If there, for some reason or other, are 9 of them, replace the rolls for which I attack with these:
[roll9] for Attack 1
[roll10], [roll11] for Attack 2
[roll12], [roll13], [roll14] for Attack 3

Again, I will roll damage once needed.

[Lubirio]

crit confirm for the first attack: [roll0]
Damage from 1st attack: [roll1] + [roll2], and [roll3] backlashes.

[Tanaric]

Edit: And another image popped into being on the start of my turn. Sorry, I'm not usually this absentminded.

You shatter three images.

Is that the end of your turn?

Edit: Oh man, math fail. There should be eight kobolds before you attack. Reroll again, and I'll pay attention now. :smallredface:

[Lubirio]

Sorry, also crit confirm for the second one: [roll0]
and damage for the second attack: [roll1] + [roll2], and [roll3] backlashing.

Sorry for triple posting, but rolling needs to be done. :smallredface:

[Lubirio]

I'll roll backlashing damage for the third attack: [roll0]

and how do I make sure which one is actually you?

Yes, I'm done now.

[Tanaric]

For images, a 1 hits, the rest hit copies.

See edit concerning actual image numbers.

[Lubirio]

"Och, I'm gettin' tired o' this lad!"

since all three hit:
Target attack 1: #[roll0]
Target attack 2: #[roll1]
Target attack 3: #[roll2]

So there's now 5 left, yes?

[Tanaric]

Yes.

Six at the start of my turn.

Have some more greatswords to the face.

[roll0] [roll1]
[roll2] [roll3]
[roll4] [roll5]
[roll6] [roll7]

Then a full attack.

Hammer: [roll8] [roll9]
Hammer: [roll10] [roll11]
Bite: [roll12] [roll13]

[Tanaric]

Does hammer 1 hit?

[Lubirio]

Forgot to mention, the very first attack you made (the AoO) hit, along with the first one from the full attack, and of course the wing thingy. :smallwink:

Full attack in return:
[roll0] at the [roll1]th one.
[roll2] at either the [roll3]th one or the [roll4]th one.
[roll5] at either the [roll6]th one, the [roll7]th one, or the [roll8]th one.

This is amusing. :smalltongue:

[Lubirio]

If any of the first two hit the person, the other(s) will of course also be aimed at the person.

[Tanaric]

Naturally.

Translucent wings of force sprout from the back of the kobold in response to your first attack, completely negating your efforts, then fade away. Do you want to continue with the attack pattern?

Edit: Observers:Wings of Cover to preserve my mirror images.

Edit: Wait, no, he said they'd be attacking me, and they'd all miss. Stupid me. >.<

[Lubirio]

Wait, so when the first attack hits (the person?) I lose the rest of my turn by a supposed readied action of yours that you didn't actually ready?

Also, damage for the first attack, that presumably did damage: [roll0] + [roll1], and [roll2] backlashing.

[Tanaric]

No. I took an immediate action in response to your first attack. You can continue with the rest if you want to. The wings are no longer in your way.

Your first attack failed to connect, as the wings granted me total cover for that one swing.

[Lubirio]

And the illusory selves of you have vanished or are they still there?

Edit: going by the rolls, the second one would have then hit you as well...

[Tanaric]

They're all there. You can attack the same one that provoked the immediate action if you want to.

[Tanaric]

To be clear, I interrupted the first attack in a full attack action. You can continue with the full attack now (the wings are gone) if you like, or else do something with your move action. Your choice.

You can keep the rolls from before if you want. I was just giving you the choice you should have had. :smalltongue:

[Lubirio]

I will, and if I can just keep the rolls, I don't feel like rolling all that again.

I think both attacks would hit then, (aimed both at the same one), and do
[roll0]+[roll1], and
[roll2]+[roll3] damage.

Then for backlash damage: [roll4] and [roll5].

[Tanaric]

Both followup attacks miss.

Turn done?

Observers:My AC is 37.

[Lubirio]

Yes, I now gather the images have an AC less than the real thing...

Edit: Wait a minute, the third one was a crit!
so I think the images disappear, and you take the damage from the third attack as I rolled before.
Also: 1d20+10

[Lubirio]

Oh right, you can't edit in rolls: [roll0] only success on another crit. :smallwink:

Go ahead.

[Tanaric]

And another image springs to life.

Have some greatswords:

[roll0] [roll1]
[roll2] [roll3]
[roll4] [roll5]
[roll6] [roll7]

And a full attack:

Hammer: [roll8] [roll9]
Hammer: [roll10] [roll11]
Bite: [roll12] [roll13]

[Tanaric]

Ah, missed the crit threat. The third attack does indeed hit, but it fails to confirm.

My images stick around, though, jumbling around on the start of my turn so that you don't know which is which.

[Tanaric]

*pokes in an annoying fashion*

I'll be going to bed soon, though I suspect it's morning for you.

[Lubirio]

Yes it is, I'll post one more time, trying to hit as many as I can:

Are there 6 or 7 of them?
[roll0]: [roll1]
[roll2]: [roll3], or [roll4]
[roll5]: [roll6], or [roll7], or [roll8]

if there's only 6 to start though, then:
[roll9]
[roll10], or [roll11]
[roll12], or [roll13], or [roll14]

If there's any number oher than 6 or 7, you can roll. :smallwink:

[Lubirio]

two crits! (1 and 3)
[roll0]
[roll1] Awesome!

If needed, you can also roll damage, I'm going to school now. :smallsmile:

[Tanaric]

Your first attack shatters an image, your second attack misses, your third attack shatters an image.

Another image springs to life on my turn, bringing the number of targets back up to six.

The greatswords continue their deadly orbit around the kobold's body.

[roll0] [roll1]
[roll2] [roll3]
[roll4] [roll5]
[roll6] [roll7]

The kobold then does some stuff you probably don't understand, and you're battered by two quick flurries of invisible force-wings. Your turn.

Force damage 1: [roll8] ref half, dazed on failed save
Force damage 2: [roll9] ref half, dazed on failed save

Observers:Auto-succeed defensive casting Wings of Flurry, followed by Quickened Wings of Flurry

[Tanaric]

Crit confirm on greatsword 2: [roll0] [roll1]

Edit: Um... okay. The RNG is feeling playful today, I guess.

[Tanaric]

Observers:*headdesk forever*

First I forget about the +1 CL on WoF for being a dragon, then I forget about the +2 CL for Arcane Thesis. Those should be 16d6. Bah. Oh well.

Good thing this is only an exhibition. :smallyuk:

[Lubirio]

Sorry for the wait:

[roll0]
[roll1]

Edit: If I fail both, am I dazed for two rounds?

[Tanaric]

I don't think so.

Edit: Are these attacks doing as much damage as they should be, or are their effects being reduced?

[IthilanorStPete]

*pops in*
Nope, only dazed for 1 round.
*disappears*

[Lubirio]

I should tell you I have DR 2/-, but other than that I'm taking it all. :smallamused:

[Lubirio]

Observers:
Chance to ignore crit 25%: [roll0] Ignore on 4.

HAH! In your FACE! :smallbiggrin:

[Tanaric]

Well then.

You can just suck on some more force damage. :smallwink:

Force damage 1: [roll0] ref half, dazed for 1 round on fail
Force damage 2: [roll1] ref half, dazed for 1 round on fail

And let's not forget the whirling greatswords.

[roll2] [roll3]
[roll4] [roll5]
[roll6] [roll7]
[roll8] [roll9]

Edit: Observers:WoF and quickened WoF, obviously.

[Lubirio]

If I fail these ref saves, I'll be done for:
[roll0]
[roll1]

Yea, so he's done. FYI: I had a whopping 203HP! :smallbiggrin:

I still didn't live though, you can read the stuff meant for observers now, I'll make a more viable character...

[Tanaric]

I then CDG your corpse with a well placed Disintegrate.

Just because. :smalltongue:

[Lubirio]

I finished the character, I'm testing out something new, so don't go too wild on my opponent. :smallwink:
