All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any final purchases

Prior to the match start you may privately plan by spoiler or PM with your partner, but after the start any communications will need to be done in character inside the arena as rules allow.

[Sallera]

Init: [roll0]

Purchases to come.

[hustlertwo]

Init: [roll0]

I must admit, of the three rounds I've been waiting on to get a match in, this was the last one I expected to get there first. A testament to the slog that is a Clouds map round.

Buying a grappling hook and silk rope, might be more, we'll have to see.

[Sallera]

Purchasing a grappling hook and 50ft of silk rope, reserve right to reactive, etc.

[Scorer]

Init
[roll0]


Now I need to set up strategy with Random before purchases, you guys are gonna be very tough, and if we think of winning the Round, we need to beat you twice, so we gotta think this through.

@Golem

So... what do you make of it? Same strategy of invisible? but this time PLEASE do your move silently checks :smalltongue:

Or any other idea?

I'll go recheck their sheets and see what I can think

EDIT: I've been analyzing it and well, Squirrel is the dangerous one... I think we have a chance at them if we toss them some tanglefoots and a pair of alchemists fire... what do you think? If I had better mod to Use Magic device I could use scrolls of Color Spray :smalltongue:

EDIT2: Right now the best strategy would be to not get DQed hehehehehe. I remember you said you had Computer problems, I hope you can sort them out in time.

[Scorer]

Wait a second... So this means this is the match for our wager... Is that true Hustler?

[hustlertwo]

Yep, this is the first official match I've had since we said that. Of course, if it ends in a DQ, would that mean not only do we win the round, but I win the bet? I would have gone the whole fight without a big attack roll, after all... :smallbiggrin:

[Scorer]

I won't get DQed, never been, so if you want to win the Round you MUST roll, unless you leave all the work to Squirrel... that is.

[Sallera]

Well, Firebolts don't have an attack roll. :smalltongue:

[Scorer]

aarrg... leave me alone :smalltongue:

[RandomAction]

Ok, I am here, sort-of.

Golem, Ini:[roll0]

Undecided on purchases.

@AbograliaSorry for the lack of help I have been giving. Seems like they hit me with a Color Spray then get DQ'd or lose. HA, maybe that should be our strategy here too? :smallbiggrin:
Let's try the invisible Golem trick again, this time I will target Squirrel. Any Ideas?

[Scorer]

@Golem

Invisible sounds good, they both buy Grappling hook so no climbing this time, I beleive I rather buy another resist fire thingy and target Mr Solus with Tanglefoots and Alchemists.

But pleaaaaaseeee do your Movements silently hehehehehe.

What do think?

[hustlertwo]

Yee-haw, we get to have a fight. OK, I think that barring more buys from ym opponents, I'm good to go.

[hustlertwo]

OK, I know Random's going to be our slow one, so everyone else go ahead and confirm your buys, that way next time he shows up he can do that as well, and take his first turn.

[Scorer]

He's got purchases to do as well. I have my purchases, but anyway Myth-weavers is down. We really need to wait up for it, I need to know how much of stuff I've got right now.

And yes, I can hear Sallera saying how MW is inferior :smalltongue:

Maybe I'll get a pifro account as a backup for this cases... After all, pifro is the very first sheet page I found, I think I have an account there, cause I have my Level 10 Abogralia there...

EDIT: Indeed, I have my pifro account. Curious, it says "Opened for OOTS". The first time I got there I didn't even know what OOTS was... Oh... time flies

[Scorer]

Ok, making my purchases, finally, sorry to keep you waiting...

2x Tanglefoot Bag 50 gp
5x Alchemist Fire 100 gp
2x Cure Light Wounds 100 gp
1x Potion Jump 50 gp

[hustlertwo]

Well, those are good ideas. 2 tanglefoot bags and 1 alchemist fire for myself as well.

[RandomAction]

Thanks for waiting everyone. I would like to say that I am now able to resume my regular posting schedule. (My computer finally came out of the shop.)

Golem buys a potion of Invisibility, -300gp.

Ready to go.

[hustlertwo]

Groan! LoS checks galore!

But whatever, I don't have cash enough to buy more random crap. I'm good to go. Scorer seems to be as well, so I guess we wait for Sallera to confirm the same, and then you can go, Random.

[Sallera]

Purchasing a tanglepatch, and ready to go.

[RandomAction]

Ok then if everyone is ready.............good luck

Golem,R-1:

Start in D-10, with shield readied and potion in hand.
Drink potion and vanish.... - standard action.

Whisper to partner.Now, I can cause havok. Still sorry for the delays though.

Let's gamble a little, shall we?

Squirrel, Round 1

Starting in W10, holding bow and tanglepatch.
Move to O10.
Standard: Throw tanglepatch at D10/E11. 40ft radius spread from that point is now entangled.
Attack: [roll0] vs. AC5.

[hustlertwo]

Oooh, neat. Shame the DC is low, but still a nice item. That would be saves from Scorer, and possibly Random, and then Scorer's turn.

Initiative order (just for added reference):

Golem 18
Squirrel! 16
Abogralia 11.1
Mr. Solus 11

[RandomAction]

Nice tactic! Doesn't that count as an attack and is prohibited from being done in the first round?

Here is the save anyway: [roll0]

[Sallera]

Sanctuary has no effect on area effects, and the map description says it works exactly like a Sanctuary with no save.

[hustlertwo]

Wow, major loophole. Although I guess it isn't that exploitable at low levels, there's not a ton of worthwhile level 1 area effect spells.

[Scorer]

Save

[roll0]

How does this work? like entangle spell, that you need to make saves every round? or is it one time? or how does it work?

[Sallera]

It's identical to an Entangle spell.

[Scorer]

1 sec...

Ref question:
I passed the save for the spell effect. Golem can move only 15' while in the affected area. I can move out of the area with 10' of movement. Do I get to use the rest of my movement or am I limited to just the 15'?

[hustlertwo]

Herein we see the problem; hard to get an answer to a ref question when your match is full of the refs who most often respond to ref requests. And also me.

[Tanaric]

Random:A Tanglepatch creates an area identical to Entangle. Entangle does not set your speed to 15 feet, but rather makes movement take double cost. Assuming you have a speed of 30 feet, you would be able to make it to the edge in 20 ft of movement (if your calculations are correct; I haven't looked at the map, nor calculated the area of the effect), which would leave you with 10 ft of normal movement to do what you like with. Only movement in the affected area counts, not your whole turn.

[RandomAction]

Strange that the big metal head goes first.

DRAW!!

[hustlertwo]

Good plan, but crap luck. Once this round is over and we level, do you want to continue our team in the 2v2 level 2 round, assuming it's still open, Sallera?

And I guess that'd be a new save for at least Abogralia, and then Scorer's turn. If no one else does, I'll get LoS after mine, since someone had to be difficult. Not that we're naming names or anything.

Refs/LoS
It's Random.

[RandomAction]

I suggest a LoS check now, before a bigger rewind is needed.

[hustlertwo]

Oh, Scorer, feel lucky this match was the one for our bet. Just finished my round 79 match, which I did win, but my attack rolls were 15, 8, 6, and 3. No big nat 20 to be found (I just was up against a foe who had many strengths, but an abysmally low AC, so all of those were hits).

[Scorer]

I also prefer to wait for a LoS check here now before any rewinds.

Those are MISS! :smallbiggrin: I'm assuming you attacked me with your bow Sallera.

And let's see how wager comes...

Abogralia's Reflex Save
[roll0]

[hustlertwo]

You can only fail on a 1 or 2 anyhow, so that wasn't a major surprise. You and your ridiculous Reflex save mod. I imagine it was effective in a round full of Kelgore's Fire Bolt users, though.

[Scorer]

Yeah it was useful, you saw last match, 18 damage and I took none. Just wait till I have Evasion :smallwink:

[RandomAction]

Evasion is soo powerful, but I also like the variant in CM. Spell reflection.

[Psionic Dog]

High Ref PsiDog

LoS Check

*Poof*
Golum becomes visible in N-11 after smacking Squirrel with his maul.
(I believe a swing of 20 for 10 damage from an invisible foe connects)

Everyone can see everyone.
Rewind to start of Squirrel's turn, round 2.

[hustlertwo]

Geez....yeah, I'm pretty sure that was a hit without the invisibility. No fair fighting back!

Also, Random, you could have just posted that out in the open, since you knew you'd be visible after your attack.

[Scorer]

You'll have to do better than that!

Accelerated climb auto-success up my rope in Y-7. I assume I can't use up remaining move after a climb, so if that's the case, end turn. If you can, I'll move to Y-5 and draw my bow in my off-hand along the way.

Move to S-6, drawing bow as I go (assuming I didn't before, doesn't much matter now). Shift grip on bow to 2-handed. Ready action to fire bow with a masterwork arrow if I get LoS or LoE to either opponent without them being behind cover or concealment, or if they end their turn within LoS or LoE, even if they do have cover or concealment.

Done. Posted a LoS request, but we may want to keep going without it, unless you anticipate reacquiring LoS with someone. We can always rewind later.

Position: S-6

[RandomAction]

Ref question: Actually a few of them.
1.) What are the buildings made of: wood or stone?
2.) Is it safe to assume that these buildings have doors?
3.) I am confused on this one, I have my shield equiped and readied. Is it a free action to drop it, or a move action to remove and then a free to drop?

[Psionic Dog]

High Ref PsiDog

There are two events which may or may not cause a rewind. Let's get them resolved before moving on with LoS.

@Squirrel: Just to confirm, is there something specific about the Chronocharm that negates AoO? Just asking since movement, even swift action movement, usually provokes.

If there was an AoO which hits Squirrel may revise following actions.

Next:
@Golem
For you Squirrel never left your LoS until moving East out of R-1.
If that knowledge would have changed your turn you may request a rewind.


Need clarification first from Squirrel then from Golem.

@Random Action
1) The buildings are made of an unspecified material, which probably makes it invulnerable.
2) Nope. Any doors the buildings may or may not have would be purely cosmetic. Since the map shows no functioning doors or windows the buildings have no functioning doors or windows. It's even debatable if the buildings even have an interior or are solid.
3) Shields are not a held item and can not be dropped as a free action. The move action to equip or unequipped a shield includes any effort to also retrieve or store the shield by precedent. You could choose to drop a loosed shield rather than stow it, but it would take the same move action.

[Sallera]

Aye, the Chronocharm specifically states that the movement does not provoke AoOs.

[hustlertwo]

Still no LoS, eh? I guess I'll toss another ref query on the pile since we're still stuck spinning our wheels.

Refs

What sort of action is required to dislodge a grappling hook? I'm thinking move, like scattering planks, but that's naught but a hunch. Also, would it be the usual move to pick it up, and move again to store it, if I was so inclined?

[Psionic Dog]

High Ref PsiDog

Squirrel has satisfied the AoO question, but I still need a clarification from Golem about a separate potential rewind before LoS can be posted.

@hustlerTwo
It is indeed a move action to pick up a grapple and a separate move action to stow the grapple. Precedent holds that since a held grapple is not by definition set the act of taking a move action to pick up a set grapple automatically dislodges it. Other actions / methods of dislodge a grapple may be considered if there is RAW/Mechanical support.

[hustlertwo]

OK then, Random, give 'em what he needs so we can get LoS'd and try to get in round 4.

[RandomAction]

@Refs: Yes, this would have changed my turn. I would like to humblely request a rewind.

[Psionic Dog]

Not bad, another whole round. Probably a good time to get LoS, though.

Whisper to Squirrel:

No problem. But both of our opponents have a good deal of healing as well, so we need to pick one and focus on them. If Golem is still in the area, maybe him, just because with Point Blank Shot and all that we might be able to turn him into a pincushion before he can clank away.

I am going to assume no LoS.

[hustlertwo]

Guys....I didn't actually take my turn yet. I'm waiting on LoS beforehand, both because I might need it for what I have in mind and because if we go too long without it we'll just end up having a lengthy rewind again.

So, to clarify for any refs looking, it's Solus's turn at the end of round 5.

@Refs/hustlertwo/Scorer
Vials have a hardness of 1 and 1 HP. Therefore it takes 2 points of damage to break one. Falling objects/creatures only take damage if they fall 10 ft or more, so a drop of less than 10 ft will never break a vial, and a drop of 20+ ft is required to be certain of a vial breaking.

Current Initiative looks something like this, I think.
Golem
Squirrel
Abogralia
Mr. Solus < Currently up, round 5



Golem
No LoS

Squirrel
You see Mr. Solus in W-2
Golem moves east to Z1 and south out of LoS (still holding the maul)

Abogralia
No LoS

Mr. Solus
You see Squirrel currently in X-2, and saw Golem holding a maul move east to Z1 and then south out of LoS.

You lost LoS to Abogralia as you moved north out of row 4

[hustlertwo]

Solus, Round 5

Crap in a hat, I thought I'd still see him. Well, we're moving to Y-3, I think I can see him from there no matter how far he went. Then shifting bow to both hands and firing a masterwork shot. If he's not around then I just ready an action to shoot upon LoS gainage, same rolls apply. If I do see him, I then shift my bow back to off hand before turn end. [roll0] [roll1] +1 to both of those if he's within 30 feet.

Done. I kinda wanted LoS again, but I think we can go without it, getting it twice in a turn will just artificially extend this thing.

Mr. Solus
You do indeed see Golem. He's in Z-2.

LoS at start of Golem, Round 7

Golem
Abogralia appears in K-15 to shoot squirrel, the moves back out of LoS.

Mr. Solus then appears at X-6 and attack (and misses) you as well.

Squirrel
Abogralia fires at you from K-15 (miss) before moving back out of LoS.

You have full LoS to Golem and Mr. Solus

Abogralia
In round 6 Mr. Solus moves up to X-6 to join Squirrel(Y-6) in attacking Golem. (they miss)

You now have LoS to everyone.

Mr. Solus
You gain LoS to Golem (in Y-7 at time).

Possible rewind back to Golem, round 7.

[Scorer]

If it is Flatfooted, I get the Crit confirmed :smallbiggrin:

[Psionic Dog]

For a moment after Abogralia attacks everyone has LoS to everyone else.

Squirrel is in Y-6, Mr Solus is in X-6, Golem is in S-7, and Abogralia shoot from K-15. (Abogralia of course promptly moves south breaking LoS, but for a while everyone had it)

Yes Mr. Solus was flatfooted, but I'm skeptical if choosing to shoot Mr. Solus instead of Squirrel is sufficiently different to require rerolling when everything else about the turn is identical to your last post when everyone else declined a rewind.

Comments anyone? Does seeing a different a second enimy and choosing to change targets enough to get a dice reroll?

If you need to keep the original rolls, the attack misses.
If you are entitled to new rolls the attack hits, but does not confirm. (Those on the roof have cover against those on the ground)

[hustlertwo]

Ayuh, I figured we had cover, since that's why I hadn't tried to attack Abogralia before, knew that with cover her AC was almost insurmountably high. As for the reroll thing, it's always seemed like a poorly defined element of the Arena precedent. I'll probably avoid weighing in on the matter; I can't really be objective about it when it's my butt on the line (even if it is just one point of damage). I don't know if it's a Summon Kyeudo situation or not.

[RandomAction]

Well, I declined the rewind cause there is nothing I can do to affect them. Squirrel choose not to rewind. Abogralia did.
From my understanding doesn't a rewind negate the orignial turn allowing for a new one? This is mainly since she/he/it didn't know Mr. Solus was there until the rewind happened.
Also I am a little iffy on the cover. They are standing at the edge of the roof/building. Wouldn't this put them in plain sight, since the roof is at an angle(from the looks of the map it is a typical A frame model) and Abogralia is of sufficent distance away to see them perfectly?

[hustlertwo]

Roof aside, there's a part of Abogralia's square that does not have unhindered LoS/LoE to my own, thanks to the wall she was apparently hiding behind. That's cover. If she weren't behind the cover, then I'd see her, and I wouldn't be flat-footed. I'm fine if that's the ruling too, frankly.

[RandomAction]

I can see your point, Hustler. She is hiding behind the corner, but doesn't that give her cover from you and not you from her?

[Sallera]

That's not it, it's the lower back corners of the roof squares. You can't see those from the ground, so anyone on the roof has cover.

[hustlertwo]

You're right, Random. I misunderstood the rules for cover. Although from what Sallera's saying, I guess it doesn't matter. I hadn't really thought about cover from that angle, but I guess it makes sense. The situation does become more complex when you have to think about the corners of a person's square in a three-dimensional frame of mind (which really makes it a cube instead of a square, of course). None of this majorly matters, unless the crit gets confirmed (which is starting to look unlikely, since that would require both a no on the roof providing cover and a no on needing different rolls for a different turn), but I guess it all needs to go through for the sake of precedent establishment. Basically, we argue now so people don't have to later, they can just whip out our ruling and say "Suck it!"

[RandomAction]

I see what you are saying, Sallera, but it is the distance between her and you two and the map image that is my problem. I can fully see having cover to Golem.
I am trying very hard not to use RL physics to this. However, from prior notices, the highest point of the roof is 20', correct? The map shows that from S-4 to X-4 is the center beam of the roof, with both northern and southern sides slooping downward. It is just the fact that after so far of a distance away, I would think that the cover would slowly be negated.
Mainly what I am trying to say is:
You are standing on a 20' high ledge. At 10' away from the edge, I can barely see you, but at 40' away I can see you better and at 60' away I can see you completely.

[Sallera]

No, the whole roof is treated as 20' high. By RAW, there is no slope on the roof.

[RandomAction]

By RAW, I agree, but the map shows this slope although it is not specified in the description. The only thing I can do is let the higher ups decide this and await my turn.

[Psionic Dog]

Actually it was specified in the supplemental description, its just that the supplemental somehow wasn't copied over.


9. Dawn Arena
Extra notes: Houses are on average 20 feet high (just use that average figure all over the house), hay piles are up to 10 feet high against the walls. And, I don't care whether you're immune to sanctuary effects, you are not immune to the arena's sanctuary effect. Creatures summoned during the 1st round are also affected by the sanctuary effect.

[hustlertwo]

Yeah, I had noticed that when I was looking to see whether I could accelerated climb it in one move action. Apparently this means that the slope on the map is just for show. As far as the mechanics of Dawn Arena are concerned, every house here has a roof as flat as a pancake, 20 feet off the ground.

[Scorer]

Ooo wow! My turn did quite a discussion I see :smallredface:

I actually didn't think about the rerolling, I just want to get rid of Mr Solus first... But as a Hi Ref myself I think you're right, I should not reroll, I should keep original rolls, which miss btw...

[Sallera]

Whisper to Solus:"I'd suggest burning the warforged at this point, if you haven't already..."

[hustlertwo]

Whisper back:

Was already my plan, actually. I'd hoped to soften him up with arrows first, but we see how that turned out. Be ready to try and peg him after, he'll likely survive but hopefully be within one attack of death.

So, where are we at, then?

[Scorer]

Your go...

[hustlertwo]

I guess I don't really need to spoiler this; I know Sallera and Random can see me, and odds are Scorer's just hiding again like the last three turns.

Activate Arcanist's Gloves, fire off a Kelgore's Fire Bolt at Golem.

Oh, I guess it is your turn. Didn't know you still had LoS to him. Obviously kinda wishing you didn't now.

[RandomAction]

Quick question Hustler, you took a knee earlier, getting up from that is a free or move action?

[hustlertwo]

I'll keep my readied, and stay where I am. It's a move action; I said that and then deleted it in an edit. Works like prone, but you get more attack options in exchange for less ranged AC.

[Sallera]

I believe he's referring to the fact that you knelt in round 7, so you wouldn't have an action left to ready after standing up and moving in round 8.

[Scorer]

Hold on, Mr Solus triggers my readied action

The trigger was his ending turn, so I guess initiative is:

Squirrel
Golem
Abogralia
Mr Solus

My readied action is attack Mr. Solus, maybe with Flatfooted AC

[roll0]
[roll1]

[hustlertwo]

I believe he's referring to the fact that you knelt in round 7, so you wouldn't have an action left to ready after standing up and moving in round 8.

I know. So I'm saying I didn't move after all, since I couldn't do so unless I didn't want my readied action. I'm assuming the turn was a rewind since I forgot about my kneeling, and thus it wasn't possible as posted. I have no idea what impact this has on Random's readied action going off.

Oh, and I think that's a hit. Assuming it's flatfooted, even with cover and the kneeling I believe it would stick me.

[RandomAction]

Now I am even more confused. :smalleek:

To get this straight, Hustler you didn't move in round 8, staying where you were, correct? If so, then my readied action is for naught and I am still in the Ini order from the prior round. Also, you kneeled in R7, then kneeled again in R-8 does this mean you are now prone or blah?

So the Ini order is:
Golem
Squirrel
Abogralia
Mr Solus

Is this right, or am I still confused? If it is my turn, I will take it as soon as this is confirmed.

[Scorer]

my readied action still goes, however it doesn't change init.

[hustlertwo]

I was already kneeled in X-6 after firing my KFB in round 7. Now I am still there, still kneeling, with a readied action. Presumably the initiative order stays the same now, which means you go, then Sallera, and so on. Before that we have Scorer's attack on me, which would almost certainly be a hit unless it is both not flatfooted AND I have cover (not likely, I think I put more ranks in Listen than Spot). But that doesn't change the order, as he said.

So, to sum up, it's Random's turn, at the top of round 8, wherever he was before he turned rabbit at the sight of my mighty halfling. Then Sallera goes after, then Scorer, then me. Sorry, my bad, and after all that the kneeling AC bonus didn't help in the slightest.

[hustlertwo]

One can only hope.

And Scorer, not sure what happens with our bet. I did roll a nat 20, but I believe your stipulation was it would be for something important, and since that attack did a whopping 0 damage, it would not really qualify. Or maybe it did. I forget.

My turn is to keep my same readied action from before. End.

Well, I guess I need to do my readied action attack against Golem from the LoS check. Fortunately, it doesn't screw up initiative any, since I already go before him.

[roll0]
[roll1]


Going to see what happens here before I continue my turn.

Whisper to Squirrel:

If I manage to bring him down or stagger him, you need to get over to his body as fast as you can to keep Abogralia from bringing him back with a potion. With any luck, it might draw her out of hiding.

[hustlertwo]

Turn continues

OK, no dice there. Time to go for broke:

Shift bow to off hand, boosted KFB at Golem. [roll0] damage, DC 14 to halve. Move action to draw my grappling hook and rope.

Done.

Ref query (does not immediately hold up play, keep going, Sallera can also look and answer)

How does one fix a grappling hook so they can go down (meaning to anchor it at my feet so I can climb back down the building)? Is it even possible, and does it require a skill check?

And lastly, more whisper whisper for Squirrel:

Seriously. This luck is just hard to believe. Having used up most of my magical potency, I'm going to go down and face the music. Hopefully I can lure Golem in for a Color Spray or something. I'm sure it won't work, but it beats sitting up here waiting for Abogralia to finally whittle our HP down to nothing.

[Sallera]

Solus:"Suicidal charge? Sounds fun, I'm in."

Believe it's technically the same action and skill check as tossing it.

[hustlertwo]

Squirrel

"Yeah, let's do the Thelma and Louise ending. At least if we can get Golem down, Abogralia will become less of a threat by far. You can use your superior move to end the game of hide and go seek. And even without level 1 spells, I can use Ray of Frost to blast small bits off of whoever, so long as they aren't far. Had I known the nature of my rolls, I would have been doing that against Golem when he was closer."

Really? That's highly illogical for it to be the same as from the ground. Which means it is almost certainly true.

[RandomAction]

My turn again? This has been the longest match I have been in so far.

Rewind to Mr. Solus's turn (Mr. Solus may of course decline revision if nothing would have changed in which case it would be Squirrels turn.

Sorry about that :smallredface:

Abogralia:It would also be nice to know where you're attacking from.

[Scorer]

@MrSolus/Squirrel

I attack from K15

Again sorry :smallredface:

Abogralia:Attack still misses, then, with armor + cover. I only jumped 4 feet high, and naturally fell back down again.

[hustlertwo]

I dearly want a rewind, of course, given my crummy luck. But nah, that'd be cheap. If I didn't know the rolls beforehand, Scorer's miss wouldn't have changed what I did. A hit, maybe, but not a miss.

So turn stands, basically.

OK, since I didn't revise, it's your turn, Sallera.

That's an... interesting plan. But Alchemist's Fire has a maximum range of 50ft, and it's 65 to R6, so it doesn't even make it that far.

[Scorer]

It is 55' actually and I beleive thats the limit of 5 range increments. At least how you explained once.

[Sallera]

You're forgetting the vertical distance. And I certainly don't recall ever implying that the maximum range of a weapon has a random +5ft tacked onto it...

[Scorer]

Vertical... right... I thought you said 10' in a 10' increment has already a -2, so I guessed that... Ok, revising

Oh, OK, I didn't realize Scorer got a turn revision. Doesn't change mine, though.

[Sallera]

Yes, the first 10ft on a weapon with a 10ft increment does give -2, but I'm not sure how you get extra range out of that. At any rate, relevant text: "each full range increment imposes a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll. A thrown weapon has a maximum range of five range increments." And that probably wasn't worthy of a turn revision, but no matter, I suppose.

[RandomAction]

I think we could use a LoS check to go any further. I know I would like one before my turn.

[Sallera]

Pretty sure everyone has LoS, judging from your last post. Edit: Except Solus, after his latest turn, of course.

[hustlertwo]

Yeah, but I can tell you already that you don't see me. As for whether that's because I'm far gone or simply rolled a very high Hide check is up for you to guess. But either way, I don't think we need LoS yet.
