LOS, limited edition.

ClaudiusYou don't see anything.

TanaricYou don't see anything. The Dragonhawk does not see anything either.

[Tanaric]

Actions:Activate True Seeing. Bird flies down the entire east side. LoS established via IM.

I activate a scroll of Bite of the Werebear, which triggers my scintillating scales contingency. Swift jump to C-8, blinking through everything in my way, then fly forward to C-2, +10 elevation, blinking through the column.

I shoot out of the column next to you, ending in C-2 +10. Same appearance as the last time you fought me (warforged, gleaming brown fur, bear's head, chain shirt, riverine spear, wings, etc, etc, let me know if you need details). You are aware that you cannot cast defensively, and that you are within my threatened area.

My spear is on fire, if it matters.

[Claudius Maximus]

You are being dispelled.

[roll0]

20% miss chance, as I can see the Ethereal. Low misses.

If it sticks, make a list of effects to dispel.

The cold strikes again, but is a bit weaker this time.

[Claudius Maximus]

I forgot some Overchannel damage rolls:

[Tanaric]

Bird lands centered on F-3 and reaches out toward your leg with a claw-tipped wing.

Pull out a scroll. Cast it.

Your oppont grows to a great height. Now over 70 feet tall, he has to hunch over to squeeze into the space he has.

He begins to laugh maniacally.

[Tanaric]

After a brief IM discussion...

Bird withdraws west, then north.

[Claudius Maximus]

Double move to F13. Draw two Scrolls of Wraithstrike on the way.

[Tanaric]

OO:Fly east, then south, checking position (verified via IM), then fly back north, ending centered on I-1.

Done.

[Claudius Maximus]

The Megapsion whistles and tries to summon the bird.

[roll0]

He also readies his bird-chokin' hand for when he sees the beast.

[Claudius Maximus]

Tanaric and I have determined via PM that I can not reach or successfully summon the bird.

Thus, it waits out my buffs, and swoops in, pecking my poor Psion into a gory mess. The match is a draw.

Let this be a lesson on the dangers of nova-ing.

[Tanaric]

My bird sells your junk and pays for a True Rez for me.

I don't know how it communicates with the local shopkeepers. Don't ask silly questions.
