All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any. Remember that this is a single elimination Endurance tournament; all damage and effects carry over, with one hour between matches.

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0] -PAHAHAHAHAHA

Good luck to you. No further Purchases.

[Corsair420]

wow that init brings new meaning to clerical speed

i'm gonna pick up a sling and 100 bullets, take 20 with me into the arena

Init:[roll0]

i'll post my action tonight, gotta get ready for work

[Corsair420]

damn i didn't see that the round maker rolled for ours and then for the next round so i thought this was on sambusei oh well.

quick question about your char, persist spell and DMM what book are those in?

Gorgimera R1:

I think we have LoS from start so i wont post in spoilers

Start in A12, double move to H16

done

[Tanaric]

Persistent Spell is in the SRD.

A persistent spell has a duration of 24 hours. The persistent spell must have a personal range or a fixed range. Spells of instantaneous duration cannot be affected by this feat, nor can spells whose effects are discharged. You need not concentrate on spells such as detect magic or detect thoughts to be aware of the mere presence of absence of the things detected, but you must still concentrate to gain additional information as normal. Concentration on such a spell is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A persistent spell uses up a spell slot six levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

Divine Metamagic is in Complete Divine. It allows you to use turning attempts instead of normal spell level adjustment +1 when applying a certain metamagic feat to a divine spell. In the case of Persistent Spell, for example, it would cost 7 turning attempts to use.

[term1nally s1ck]

Starting with a flask of alchemist's fire in one hand, and my shield in the other.

I'll cast a Persisted Lesser Vigor. Not sure on the spellcraft DC, and not really bothered anyway. Easy to figure out.

How on EARTH did you move 140' in one turn??

Or have you not noticed the walls of ice?

[Corsair420]

i didn't move 140 i started in A12, as I said

[Sallera]

I don't know where that 140 comes from, but A12's not a valid starting location regardless.

[Corsair420]

B12 then, my bad

[term1nally s1ck]

Still seems to be 45, but it's not too big a deal. I'll head up from Y9 to W6, and end my turn.

[Corsair420]

diagonals take 5 feet the first time and 10' the 2nd time so they can get confusing.

Gorg R2:

Double move to K11

i'm done

[term1nally s1ck]

Can you move diagonally around the corner of these pillars? If so, it makes sense.

Move to S5, and ready an action:

5' step and throw the alchemist's fire if he takes an action within LoS

[Corsair420]

Gorg R3:

double move to P7

done

[term1nally s1ck]

Maintain my Readied action.

[Corsair420]

move to O5

done

[term1nally s1ck]

Maintain my readied action.

[Corsair420]

ok time for something that requires a ref

Gorg R4: full round to charge

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

i'll get a ref

[term1nally s1ck]

No point. I can't 5' in a way that stops you hitting me, so I take that hit and go down. Your match.

[Sallera]

Unless you have something that prevents you from needing to make balance checks, you'll have to do that. As balancing also affects your movement speed, rewind to Gorgimera round 2.

[Corsair420]

wow damn never even looked at that, haven't played this map before

so balance check for accelerated movement to K11

Balance(DC=10):[roll0]

[Sallera]

That would be a fall prone in K15, then.

[term1nally s1ck]

Drop the Alchemist's Fire, and move to S5, drawing my sling as I move, and loading it.

[Sallera]

You can't draw a weapon as you move without at least BAB 1.

[term1nally s1ck]

*learns a new rule*

In that case, No movement, and just draw and load my sling.

[Corsair420]

so where did i fall prone?

[term1nally s1ck]

K15 I think...

[RandomAction]

Ini Ref, RandomAction:

Sallera stated this earlier. Gorgimera is prone in K-15.

[Corsair420]

guess i missed it,

Gorg R3:

Move action to stand back up
2nd move action ot move further along the bridge

Balance check DC 10: [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

You..don't have much luck with those, do ya?

Move to V 10 and ready an action:

shoot him if he stands up:

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Corsair420]

i'll stand up and try again

Balance:[roll0]

balance is not my strong suit, but based on the laws of rolling by the time i reach you i should get all high rolls

[term1nally s1ck]

Well, I think you're at least moving 5' each time, putting you in K13 now.

My readied action went off, and I missed you with my sling.

On my turn, reload, and Ready an action:

If he stands up, shoot him:
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Sallera]

No, actually, he doesn't move anywhere if he fails the check.

Edit: Also, we prefer you don't roll readied actions until they're triggered.

[term1nally s1ck]

Fair enough, I'll not do that in the future.

[Corsair420]

not to mention that slings have a range of 50 feet and i'm 55 away

stand up and try again

balance: [roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

That's range increments, and I've taken the -2 into account.

As you stand up, I miss you again.

I reload and shoot you again.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Corsair420]

i'll stand up and try yet again, and i could be confused but you cant use a ready action adn then reload and shoot again thats 3 actions in 1 round

Balance:[roll0]

i'm starting to think that the world doesn't want me to cross this bridge

[term1nally s1ck]

My readied action was triggered on your go. By the rules of readied actions, my initiative count is now just before yours, so I got another round to act in after you fell over.

And again, reload and fire.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Corsair420]

Time for a new tactic

screw the bridge, move action to M17 then str check to break the ice wall

Str check:[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

hmm...

drop my sling, and draw a flask of alchemist's fire, then ready an action:

Throw it at him if he ends his turn within LoS.

[Sallera]

You still have to stand up before moving, so you can't attempt to break it this turn.

[Corsair420]

right always forget something... so i moved where I am now this round i'll break the ice


Str check:[roll0]
then move to P19

[term1nally s1ck]

I'll pass on taking my readied action for that, move to W14, and ready the same action as last turn.

[Corsair420]

double move to W19 where I leave your LoS
@refs:end in X19 with pillar between him and me

done

[term1nally s1ck]

Huh? You're hiding? There's no square back there that I don't have LoS to...a few with cover, but unless you actively hide, I can see you.

[Corsair420]

theres a pillar between me and you

[Sallera]

Not enough of one. There's still LoS between X19 and W14.

[term1nally s1ck]

I still can see you...you have Cover AND concealment, but not total concealment.

Either way, I can't do anything much, so I'll continue to have a readied action:

If I am attacked, take a 5' step and throw the alchemist's fire at him.

[Corsair420]

move to W18 and then charge(can charge up to my move speed not double as a standard)

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[Sallera]

You can only do a partial charge if you're restricted to a single move or standard action in a turn. That's not the case here, so you'll have to revise that.

[Corsair420]

god dammit, thats stupid just the move to W18 then

[term1nally s1ck]

Maintain my readied action.

[Corsair420]

ok, NOW i charge

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

As you make your attack, I 5' step back and throw the alchemist's fire at you.

[roll0] vs Touch AC.
[roll1]

For my turn, I draw another flask of alchemist's fire, and ready another action:

5' step away and Throw the flask at him if he attacks me or takes a standard action within 20'

[Sallera]

Not that it mattered, but that should be -1, not +1. 10ft range increment.

[term1nally s1ck]

I factored that in when I was working it out, but failed to hit the right key...:smallannoyed:

[Corsair420]

this is gonna get real annoying real fast

i'll make a 5 foot step towards him and attack

Attack:[roll0]
Damge:[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

Yeah, same move..5' back, throw.

[roll0] Touch attack
[roll1] fire damage.



For my turn, I draw another flask of alchemist's fire, and ready another action:

5' step away and Throw the flask at him if he attacks me or takes a standard action within 20'

EDIT: Just realised you have a move action left..

[Corsair420]

thought you couldn't take 5 ft step and a move and standard? what square are you in now?

[Sallera]

Well, you have a move action, you just can't use it for moving.

[Corsair420]

nothihng i want to do with it so i'll just end my turn

[Sallera]

Noticed no one rolled miss direction for those tosses.
[roll0]
[roll1]
Both land in between the two of you, so you've each taken 2 fire damage.

Also, if both of you could include stat blocks with your posts, it would be helpful.

[Corsair420]

so whats the verdict for those?

[term1nally s1ck]

Ooh, I forgot that rule..

Anyway, my action is as stated in my last post.

[Corsair420]

i'm gonna wait to see what happens it may rewind us back some turns

[term1nally s1ck]

The missed tosses do 1 damage to each of us, from splash damage, on both turns, as Sallera posted.

[Corsair420]

oh I missed the edit I saw it before she posted the damage

ok, so we're both down 2 hp and what not so i'll step forward and attack again because i can't think of anything else effective to do. also what squares are we in now?

Attack: [roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

You're in W13, I'm in W12, until:

I do the same thing again, dodging your attack and throwing the flask at you:

[roll0] touch attack
[roll1]

If a miss: [roll2]
You take 1 damage, if it's an 8, 1, or 2, I take 1 damage as well.

For my turn, draw my longsword, and ready an action:

attack and 5' step back if he attacks me, or takes a standard or full-round action within reach.

you should probably change your stat block to reflect the 2 damage you took as well

and i'll move and attack again

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

Persisted lesser vigor is healing me every turn anyway.

My char hits you then steps back to avoid your blow:

[roll0]
[roll1]


On my turn, ready an action:

Same as before, only let's make the 5' step to V9 if possible.

[Corsair420]

bah none of the tatics i could think of will work so i'll just go with the only viable option

i'm going to take a 5 foot step towards you adn then ready an action

Ready action:ready action to attack if he takes any action standard, move, full or otherwise

ok i'm done lets see how this works

[term1nally s1ck]

Unfortunately, the action of readying an action triggers my readied action.

[roll0]
[roll1]

and 5' step to V10.

On my turn, ready an action:

Attack and 5' step to V8 if he attacks me, or takes a standard or full-round action within reach.

[Corsair420]

F**K this is getting soo retarded..

i'm going to move to W15, free action to drop my battleaxe, and then draw my sling

i'm done now also i hate you

[term1nally s1ck]

Cool.

I charge you.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Corsair420]

good, finally something i can work with

free action, drop sling, move action, pick up battle axe, standard action, attack, you get an AoO

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

and of course this is the first of what 7 attacks and i missed

[term1nally s1ck]

Yup, that's a miss...by 1.

[roll0]
[roll1]

If a nat 20:
[roll2]
[roll3]

Guess what? I ready an action:

If he takes a standard or full-round action within reach, or attacks me, I attack and 5' step back.

[Corsair420]

your making me cry on the inside just so you know

ok you've driven me to the only option that isn't subject to your ridiculous ready action

i'm going to take a 5 foot step back and i'm going to hurl my axe at you, -4 to attack for an improvised thrown weapon, can only hit you on a nat 20

attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

Free action to shift grip on sword to other hand, Move action to pick up your weapon, standard action to throw it into the water, and free action to shift my grip back.

You turn :smallbiggrin:

[Corsair420]

dont you have to make some kind of roll for that? i dunno

ok standard action to bull rush you, you get an AoO then we need opposed str checks

Str check:[roll0]

and then i need to wait and see what happens before i finish my action

[term1nally s1ck]

It's an AC 5 touch attack to hit any given square, and if I miss, it only moves 10' in a random direction. I can aim it so 10' will always be in the water, say at S13.

AoO:

[roll0]
[roll1]

If nat 20:

[roll2]
[roll3]

Opposed strength: [roll4]

[Corsair420]

well you finally hit me, but you missed my str check by 12 so you get pushed back 15 feet, and i need to know where the axe is so I can go get it

also 10 feet form W15 would have to be U15 not S13

[term1nally s1ck]

again, that's range category.

Let's see...modifiers..I was in W15, so

[roll0] vs AC 5. EDIT: It's in S13.

If a miss, it's 10' in [roll1] direction.

You push me back to W12. Still a move action to take I think.

[Corsair420]

yep and i'm gonna move to S16

[term1nally s1ck]

You move with me when you bull-rush, by the way. Putting you in W13, until you move.

Oh, and if you do move away:

AoO:
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Corsair420]

right forgot that, makes it a bit easier I think maybe

move to V14 dive into the water and swim down to the bottom dont need a check cause i'm a water orc so now i'm in U14 15 feet down

[term1nally s1ck]

You still only have a single move action to make, so can only just get into the water.

I move to X7, and ready an action attack an enemy that attacks me, or that takes a standard or full-round action within reach

[Corsair420]

yea 5 foot to the edge of the wter and 15 down = 20

[Corsair420]

I will continue to swim to S13 and pick up my axe

[term1nally s1ck]

Ready an action: attack him and 5' step back iif he attacks me or takes a standard/fulll-round action within reach

[Corsair420]

i'll swim to U13 -5 and end my turn

[term1nally s1ck]

Maintain my readied action.

[Corsair420]

move down to U16 out of the water

[term1nally s1ck]

Still got a Readied action...

[Corsair420]

ok, 1 move action, to pull out my rope and the other to pull out my battleaxe

your up

[term1nally s1ck]

Move to V9, Ready an action:

Move if he takes any action within LoS

[Corsair420]

i'm gonna take a full round action to tie my rope to the handle of my axe

use rope:[roll0]

[term1nally s1ck]

Well, my readied action is triggered, and I move to V14 in response.

On my turn, ready an action:

attack and 5' step if he takes any action within LoS

[Corsair420]

i'll throw my axe at you again

attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

and i'm not done yet i need to confrim what type of action pulling it back is since someone amde a case to it being a move aciton

[AlterForm]

Init Ref AlterForm

Gentlemen, although not exactly necessary in this match, it assists refs and spectators greatly if you post a statblock with each post. HP, AC, and position are usually plenty unless you have something weird/temporary going on.

[Corsair420]

we're keeping a pretty good handle on things, only time we've needed refs so far is for actions we(I) couldn't perform, but when we do need a ref we'll be sure to include stat blocks

[term1nally s1ck]

For the sake of spectators:

Stats:
HP:9/9
AC: 21/11/20
Location: V4

[Corsair420]

k me to

stats:hp:5/13 (i think i've taken 8 so far), AC: 21, Loc:U16


Also i'll just go off what kyuedo said until theres a more concrete answer and say that pulling it back is a standard so go ahead and go

[term1nally s1ck]

Well, for my turn, I'm going to take a full-round to attack your rope.

[roll0]

It breaks.

Stats:
HP:9/9
AC: 21/11/20
Location: V4

[Corsair420]

i'm pretty sure you have to make some kind of attack roll for that and throwing my axe you cant just deal damage and throw things exactly where you want without some kind of roll

[vollmond]

Initiate Ref vollmond

It's kosher. Doing it as a full-round action obviates the need for an attack roll. source (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/exploration.htm#armorClass)

[term1nally s1ck]

I made the attack roll for throwing your axe, with appropriate penalties, once you said it did matter where it landed. I didn't realise you had a swim speed.

As for this one...SRD:

An object’s Armor Class is equal to 10 + its size modifier + its Dexterity modifier. An inanimate object has not only a Dexterity of 0 (-5 penalty to AC), but also an additional -2 penalty to its AC. Furthermore, if you take a full-round action to line up a shot, you get an automatic hit with a melee weapon and a +5 bonus on attack rolls with a ranged weapon.

EDIT: Ref Ninjas!!

[Corsair420]

ok I didn't know that's why I asked

Move action to V15 then standard action to bull rush make your AoO and an opposed str check please

Str check:[roll0]

I pick up my axe and you get another AoO before i finish my turn

[roll1]

Maintain my readied action.

[Corsair420]

and then i'll ready an action of my own

Ready action: attack and then 5 foot step if he makes any action within reach

[term1nally s1ck]

Readying an action triggers my readied action...I attack then 5' step away..

[roll0]
[roll1]

My turn will be to ready an action:

5' step then attack if he attacks me or takes any action within 10'

[Corsair420]

i'm just going to maintain my action

[term1nally s1ck]

Readying your action triggers my readied action. I 5' step, and attack:

[roll0]
[roll1]

On my turn, 5' step back, Ready an action:

Attack him if he comes within reach

[Corsair420]

i'm dead, and i ****ing hate you

[Corsair420]

woohoo no i'm not i took diehard

you 5 foot step back triggers my ready action

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

and then a 5 foot step back away from you

at -4 HP

[term1nally s1ck]

A 5' step is a non-action...unless your trigger was against me moving, it wouldn't trigger your readied action.

Stats:
HP: 9/9
AC: 21/10/20
Location: V12.

[Corsair420]

the trigger was any action and a 5 foot step is a misc action which is an action nonetheless

[term1nally s1ck]

Actually, looking here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsincombat.htm) at the bottom, misc actions are separated into 'varies' and 'no action', which is what 5' steps are under.

[Corsair420]

ok fine then i'll maintain my ready action your 5 feet away and i'm at -3 hp, your move

[term1nally s1ck]

Maintaining your readied action is a standard action, just so you remember to keep subtracting it from your health.

I ready an action:
attack and 5' step back if he attacks me or takes a standard/full-round action within my reach

[Corsair420]

ug this is ****ing stupid now, i'm gonna throw my axe one more time

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

and then cause i'm tired of this stupid freaking round i'll 5 foot step next to you

[term1nally s1ck]

May as well just attack you:

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Corsair420]

yep and i'll pick up my axe again, provoking an AoO and attack you, and providing your attack misses i'll be at -6 hp

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

[roll0]
[roll1]

I ready an action:

Attack and 5' step back if he attacks me or takes a standard/full round action within range, or ends his turn within range.

[Corsair420]

5 foot step back and huck my axe again i'm bound to get a nat 20 one of these times

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

maintain my readied action.

And just realised, you can't take more than one action in a turn, so you couldn't both pick your axe up and attack. I'll say you just picked up the axe, so you're actually on -6, not -7.

[Corsair420]

crap your right, can i take a 5 foot step and a standard?

[term1nally s1ck]

Yeah, that's fine.

Basically, you just didn't attack that turn you picked the axe up, so you gain an HP out of it.

And your axe is in my square, and you have to come get it.

Your turn.

[Corsair420]

well now i'm confused, based on my calculations the last time i made 2 actions at once was me picking up my axe where you missed an AoO and then I attacked, so I would have my axe in my hand nad be standing next to you

[term1nally s1ck]

Oh, if you want to rewind, that's fine, I was happy to carry on from where we were, and just have you lose the attack that missed anyway.

If you'd rather carry on from there, I'm just gonna ready the same action as above.

[Corsair420]

i'm just confused as to where you think we are and where I think we are

[term1nally s1ck]

I thought we'd just have all the actions as we'd posted, but skip the attack you made in the turn you picked up your weapon.

I think you wanted to rewind to that turn, so you lose both your attack and your throw. I said I'd just ready an action in that case, so it's your turn.

[Corsair420]

so either way my axe is in hand, so i'll just 5 foot step back and huck my axe... again

[roll0]
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

Just ready an action

attack and take a 5' step back if he takes any action within reach.

[Corsair420]

well, the only thing i can really do is cause you to get 2 attacks, what fun

5 foot step towards you adn pick up my axe, AoO and your gay ass ready action

[term1nally s1ck]

Yup:

[roll0]
[roll1]


[roll2]
[roll3]

Guess what? I ready an action:

5' step towards him and attack if he takes any action

[Corsair420]

what squares are we in now?

[term1nally s1ck]

I'm in V11, you're in V13.

[Corsair420]

not much i can do so i'm taking a 5 foot step back and throwing my axe again, i'm gonna get this nat 20 eventually and that will be the one time i dont do enough damage to kill you

[roll0]
[roll1]

[term1nally s1ck]

I'll charge you for fun:

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Corsair420]

yea ok i'm done with this round, I 3 hp left and it's an endurance round, on the off chance i somehow manage to get past you and to my axe it'll just all over fro the millionth time so i'm just conceding the fight and going to find another round.
