All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any

[theterran]

[roll0]

[Xiagu]

Purchases:
Riding Dog
Launch Item Oil
Riding Saddle
Light crossbow
Attuned Gem of Sunstroke
10 crossbow bolts

Leaving my shield and armor outside the arena for this battle.

[roll0]

@V: It is set to trigger when a dragon (besides KMD) comes within 5 feet of it.

[Sallera]

Don't forget to specify the trigger conditions for that gem.

[theterran]

Alright, I'm contemplating my reactive buys...:smallannoyed:

(edit) and shouldn't your HP be 10 instead of 11 with the Quick Trait?

[Xiagu]

Nope, Dragontouched gives a bonus 1 hp.

[theterran]

I'll Buy an Attuned Gem of Sunstroke as well. And set its trigger as a Dragon other than Will comes within 5ft of the Gem.

And I believe you won initiative.

[Xiagu]

@KoboldMcDragon

I'm not sure you can ready such action, to me it appears that applying oil is a satndard action and throwing it is another, and you know you can't ready two actions, the only exception is the 5' step

[Xiagu]

@Scorer The way I read Launch Item was that throwing the item was part of the spell. It might be funky now because it's an oil, but when the SRD said "The potion or oil takes effect immediately," I assumed it would let me 'launch' whatever I put the oil on.

[theterran]

It's Kobolds turn if you didn't know

[Xiagu]

Sorry for the wait, I've been busy lately :smallfrown:

Kobold McDragon, round 2

Ready an action: I'm still assuming that Launch Item Oil actually lets me launch an item when I use it. Scorer was vague as to whether the action was legal or not. =/

Trigger: Will takes any action while he is within 110 feet of me and I have LoE to him.
Action: Apply Launch Item Oil to my Attuned Gem and launch it at Will's square.
Move to B9 (C17 -> B16 -> B9), controlling mount with knees.

Stats: Current location: B9

HP: 11/11
AC: 16, touch 15, flat-footed 11 (+1 size, +4 Dex, +1 natural)
Finished.

[theterran]

When you come into B10 you trigger my readied action

Which was to cast a spell.

[roll0] Reflex Halves.

[Xiagu]

Casting the spell triggers my readied action.

I apply my Oil of Launch Item to my Attuned Gem of Sunstroke and launch it at your square (N9). I'm not even sure if an attack roll is necessary, since the spell implies the item flies to wherever you want (except for people presumably actively avoiding splash weapons), but in case it is:
[roll0]
The AC of a generic 5x5 inanimate object is 3 (-5 Dex, -2 inanimate).

[roll1] nonlethal damage from Sunstroke, Fort DC 11 vs fatigue.

If that doesn't knock you unconscious or I miss, here's a Reflex save: [roll2]

Edit: NOT COOL, dice! :smallyuk:
...whose turn is it now?

[theterran]

Mine, as all that happened on your turn.

[theterran]

Will - Round 3

Cast a spell:
KFB

[roll0] Reflex Halves.

Turn not done...depends on what happens with this.

[Tanaric]

For the record, here are the readied action rules: Click. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialInitiativeActions.htm)

Of particular note is this line:
Then, any time before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition.

I bring it up because KMD readied an action and then moved on his turn 2, which would invalidate his readied action. I don't think it matters at this point, but if for some reason he is still alive, the oil was never actually applied and Will never took the damage from the Attuned Gem.

[Xiagu]

Does it perchance matter if my mount is doing the moving for me? :3

...meh, maybe I can still salvage this. I will attempt to drop behind my mount for cover and hide in response to Will's spell. *crosses fingers*
[roll0] (DC 15) and [roll1] if I succeed on that Ride check.

Edit: Nope, looks like the dice roller doesn't like me. :smallfrown:
I think that's game, then.

[Sallera]

High Ref Sallera

Will chars Kobold for the victory.

Incidentally, using your mount as cover doesn't allow you to hide.
