Questions:
1) are the starting platforms lit? IE, do we have starting LoS of any sort?
2) how soon do the green square disintegrate after an action? immediately? one round later?
3) how does the lighting work from a distance? if someone is standing near a light source on the other side of the map, can i see them?

[V for Victory]

Initative: [roll0]

[Sallera]

No, as soon as the action is complete, and yes.

So the order is

Am I correct on that?

[vollmond]

Looks right to me

((Any way to use a public source to post like a library or something?))

((Local sources also lack power. We have a generator running, but only for important things. I'm sneaking in on my mom's computer at the moment, and I don't really want to risk looking up DnD rules until I get my own computer back. Though I guess I can post a move, and add my stat block later. Yeah, I think I'll do that so we can get this moving.))

Thag, Round 1

Note: I have a pending ref question regarding the jump check modifier (posted in the waiting room with full details). I'm going ahead and posting my turn to move the round along, but if it turns out the dog's jump check is only +8 (and not +12 as I believe), I would like to revise my turn.

Starting in B-13, mounted and wielding a lance two-handed.
Immediate: enter Ferocity.
Full-Round: Charge at Aeochromine, ending in I6.

Autosucceed on Guide With Knees check.
[roll0] DC15 edit: ok, so the ref question above is momentarily unimportant :smallwink:

[IncarnumJunkie]

*sigh...*
I hope I never have to fight another Gnomish Gnight ever again...

Aeochromine = DEAD.

[Sallera]

Erm, wait up a moment. I believe that damage is supposed to be +12, not +21, which I think leaves you conscious.

Right, ferocity. Ne'er mind then.

[vollmond]

+5 STR (from Ferocity) x 1.5 for two-handed, x3 for charging

edit: if it helps, i totally would have gone for the warlock if i could see him :smallsmile:

Dexter, Round 2

Hmm...Dexter may need to change strategy.

Okay, dropping my Heavy Flail and drawing his bow, Dexter is going to draw his longbow and fire on Thag. Since I'm firing into shadowy illumination, that's a 20% miss chance, so...

Miss chance: [roll0] (Calling anything above a 20 as a hit)

Attack: [roll1]
Critical: [roll2]
Damage: [roll3]
Crit Damage: [roll4]

Still in square X12

Stat Block
HP: 11/11
AC: 17 (10 + 4 Armor + 3 Dex)
In Square: X12

[vollmond]

V: do I get to see where that eldritch blast came from? Or at least what lights are doused by your invocation currently? (not 100% sure how Warlocks work) never mind, i'm stupid

Int: ouch, nice rolling

turn to come in a while (about to leave work)

[vollmond]

Actually, wait... nooooooooo I forgot Thag doesn't have Rageclaws :smallfrown: he's at -1 and out of the running. Stupid critical.

[Trobby]

((Y'know, I hate to point something out that could ruin an awesome critical, but you COULD try to take cover behind your riding dog. Granted, it would mean your riding dog got shot, but it could save you.))

[vollmond]

Unfortunately, the +4 to AC won't be enough to save me -- the crit would still confirm. But thanks for the reminder :smallsmile: I had completely forgotten about that option.

edit: actually, hang on, let me make sure it wouldn't be good cover confirmed, would only be +4

[Trobby]

Ah, well don't worry about it. ^^; I'm a human, so there's a good chance I'm going to lose anyway.

Speaking of which, V, it's your turn!

[V for Victory]

Arena Character #1, Round 3


Arena Character #1 attacks Dexter with an eldrich blast

Attack Roll(touch attack- AC due to concealment): [roll0]

Damage: [roll1]

Stats:




Hp: 6/6
AC: Full AC: 18, Flat-Footed AC: 14, Touch AC:14 (+4 armor, +4 dex)



Turn over

[V for Victory]

I hate my attack rolls....

[Trobby]

Yeah, though on the bright side, at least we have about an equal chance of hitting each other...though incidentally, for your next eldrich blast, don't forget that you have a -2 penalty for shooting from beyond 60 feet, and that your darkvision only extends 60 feet out from you.

That in mind...

Dexter, Round 3

First of all, I'm going to start putting my hide skill to use. So unless your spot beats my hide, or you're within 60 ft. of me, no peeking. ;p

Forget all that. I can't hide without moving into darkness. ^^; But anyway,
I'm going to pick up my Heavy Flail, put it away, and five-foot-step into X11.

Stat Block:
HP: 11/11
AC: 17 (10 + 4 Armor + 3 Dex)

Arena Character #1, Round 4


Arena Character #1 attacks Dexter with an eldrich blast

Attack Roll(touch attack- AC due to concealment): [roll0] (this time I included the minus 2)

Damage: [roll1]

Stats:





Hp: 6/6
AC: Full AC: 18, Flat-Footed AC: 14, Touch AC:14 (+4 armor, +4 dex)



Turn over

[Sallera]

Eldritch Blast has a range of 60ft, not a range increment of 60ft. It doesn't extend beyond the 60ft range.

[Trobby]

Ah, that would actually be MY mistake then, since I was the one who misinterpreted the rule.

Though honestly, you should have enough movement ability to get to a spot where you CAN hit me from, V. So I suggest we just rewind your turn and have you try it again.

[V for Victory]

Arena Character #1, Round 4 REDO

Arena Character #1 grabs the lantern and throws it off of the edge of the platform, targeting K 25

Attack:[roll0]
I need to hit an AC of 5

If I hit this AC I am now in total darkness and cannot be seen unless dexter has darkvision
Stats:


Hp: 6/6
AC: Full AC: 18, Flat-Footed AC: 14, Touch AC:14 (+4 armor, +4 dex)



Turn over

[Trobby]

((I feel that I should mention that you already have Darkness centered around yourself...unless that wore off at some point without me noticing. If not, then you might want to reconsider your action for that round. I'll let you reconsider, since it' makes a good deal of difference.))

[V for Victory]

((I am aware of this, I probably should have thrown the lamp first but I didn't think of that. Darkness the invocation gives me concealment. But throwing the lantern off would give me total concealment, allowing me to have a 50% miss chance only when you guess which square I am in))

EDIT: ((Just leave the turn as it is please))

[Sallera]

I should probably also point out that Darkness actually generates shadowy illumination, so if you've got it up, you're not in total darkness.

[V for Victory]

Thats why I threw the lamp off of the edge

[Sallera]

Right, but you've still got Darkness up, so you're still visible.

[Trobby]

((He is? Huh..in that case, I think he should re-reconsider his action, again.

*continues to wait patiently* Hmm...this has become an interesting exercise in visibility rules.))

[V for Victory]

Right, but you've still got Darkness up, so you're still visible.

All right, next turn can I dispel it somehow?

[Sallera]

Failing to foresee the consequences of your actions isn't grounds for a rewind. Only doing something that's actually illegal. I let it slide the first time because you suggested and agreed to it, but let's not do it again. Go ahead and take your turn.

Edit: Ninja'd. It's dismissible, so you can dismiss it as a standard action.

[V for Victory]

im not asking for a rewind. I'm asking to keep my actions and in a future turn I would like too dispel the darkness invocation.
Allright, read your edit. My turn is unchanged

[Trobby]

Ah...alright then Sallera. And yeah V, I'm pretty sure you can dispel magical effects that you create yourself on your turn as a free action, but you might want to check with the refs on that, as you may actually need to either cast dispel on yourself, or just live with shadowy illumination.

And now...

Dexter, Round 4

Firing an arrow at V into the shadows...

Miss Chance: [roll0] Calling anything above a 20.

Attack: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]

Turn over

[Trobby]

((...I suspect that you haven't done anything that would warrant an LoS check, so...should I just take my turn?))

Edit: Yeah, I think I'll just take my turn...it's not like it's going to change the course of the battle much...

Dexter, Round 6

Turn over

[V for Victory]

Also, for you spot checks you need to factor in a -1 per 10 feet of distance.

And since I am treated an invisible right now in this situation, then you CAN may a dc 20 spot check to see me. that is your only chance.

[Trobby]

((This is true. I ask this because you might willingly choose to leave the area of darkness, but attempt to stay hidden.))

Dexter, Round 7

Still holding my readied action...

Stat Block: Still the same as before.

Dexter, Round 9

...No, actually, that's a stupid idea. I pull out the alchemy fire, and put it back.

Status: An Idiot.

End of Turn

[V for Victory]

Arena Character #1, Round 9

Arena Character 1 attempts to jump the pit. Moving from K 21 to I 21 and jumping

Refllex Save:[roll1]


Stats:

Hp: 6/6

[V for Victory]

Since I failed the jump but hit the reflex I use my standard as a move and make a DC 15 Climb Check to pull myself up
[roll0]

Turn over

[V for Victory]

((And I failed by exactly 4 so I don't fall but I make no progress))

[vollmond]

Thag was jumping diagonally, for 15 instead of 10

[Trobby]

Hmm...okay...

Dexter, Round 10

Dexter moves into W10 to get a proper running start, then takes a leap, jumping for R10.

Jump Check: [roll0] [DC 10]
Reflex if fail: [roll1] [DC 15]
Climb Check if fail and succeed on reflex: [roll2] [DC 15]

And if I do succeed on my check, I ready an action...

Readied action:
...to shoot at my foe when he climbs up to the platform (because I'm assuming I could see him making the jump, since he didn't explicitly try to hide during the jump.

[V for Victory]

I failed, so I fall.

[Trobby]

((Ah...that's...actually kind of disappointing. I was hoping we could finish this with a good old-fashioned shoot-out. You falling is...kind of anti-climactic. :smallfrown: Well...I'll go get the refs then.))

[V for Victory]

Yeah, what happens now?
I get the xp and gp awards for second place and I am put into another match?

[Trobby]

Yeah, I think so. But first we need to wait for a Ref to get around here and call the match.

[V for Victory]

allright. cool

[Scorer]

High Ref Scorer

And so, Arena Character #1 forgot to bring his grip gloves and he falls to a delayed fire death, making Dexter the winner!

1st: Dexter - Introbulus
2nd: Arena Character #1 - V for Victory
3rd: Thag - vollmond
4th: Aeochromine - IncarnumJunkie

[V for Victory]

HOLD ON!!!! THEY MAKE GRIP GLOVES!?!?!?!?!?

Also, now i am automatically assigned to a new fight, correct?

And I add the GP and XP for being#2 to my character right?

[Trobby]

Ooo~! Nice! 600 XP and 550 GP. Oh the things I could spend it on...

...Except now I'm not sure what to spend it on. :smalleek:

[V for Victory]

Ooo~! Nice! 600 XP and 550 GP. Oh the things I could spend it on...

...Except now I'm not sure what to spend it on. :smalleek:

Based on this last match I am waiting till I know my next map. I am NOT forgetting to buy grip gloves

[Scorer]

Actually the grip gloves was something I said to make it sound fun (which is the Hi Ref habit) I'm not sure if they actually exist, and what would they do...

[Sallera]

Masterwork Climb tool, presumably. :smalltongue:

[Trobby]

What you should really be after are some slippers of spider climbing (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Slippers_of_Spider_Climbing). Though by then, you might as well just buy something that makes you fly. :smalltongue:

Alternatively, you could buy a potion of enlarge person, and since you only fall at your speed every round (For...some reason), you could drink it, and then brace yourself against the walls.

[Scorer]

It's cheaper to buy a potion of Jump in the first place :smalltongue:

[V for Victory]

Or a grappling hook with a knoted rope
