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

[Trobby]

Still considering purchases. For now, initiative!

[Scorer]

Initiative

[roll0]

Still thinking purchases

[Trobby]

Ah...I was going to buy something, but I see I already have it in my inventory. So I think for now, I will save my money. :smallwink:

That Guy is Read for Battle. He will start in...the entire starting area, with MW Lance in hand.

Once Scorer is ready, we can begin the fight.

[Scorer]

I'll buy an additional potion of faith healing and a pair of Alchemists. (50+40gp)

Ready to go :smallsmile:

[TheFallenOne]

Scorer
Since you didn't say that you leave some of your equipment outside the Arena, it is I believed assumed you bring all of it, which brings you into a medium load

[Scorer]

@Fallen

I specify such in Stat block, and no, I don't go with everything.

[TheFallenOne]

Scorer
Fair enough, just wanted to mention it now to avoid a rewind

[Trobby]

Hmm...alright, well, you said you were ready, so I guess I can take my turn now.

That Guy with the Horse, Round 1

That Guy starts by quaffing a shield of faith potion (+2 to AC for 10 rounds), then drawing his lance, while his horse moves to U17/V18. At the end of this, That Guy makes a ride check to take cover from ranged attacks behind his horse.

[roll0]

If that succeeds (DC: 17) He will get +4 to AC.

End of Turn

Stats:

HP: 10/10
AC: 24 (10+5 Armor +3 Dex +2 Potion (10/10 Rounds Remaining) +4 Cover)

Horse Stats:

AC: 14 (–1 size, +1 Dex, +4 natural)

[TheFallenOne]

the DC is 15, so you succeed

*checking movement* jup, seems to be exactly 24 squares

[Trobby]

You doubt me? ;p I be hurt. *Though not surprised...horse movement is harder than I thought it was at first. ^^; But I was very careful in counting this out, and making sure I'd have enough movement to get that far*

Oh, and as a fair note to Scorer, don't forget that, with Spirited Charge, my attacks do double damage. So while it is listed as 1d8+6 (because that's the damage I would do when wielding the Lance with 2 hands), the actual damage I will do will be doubled. (Or, with the lance, tripled. Since the damage done by a lance on horseback is already doubled)

That Guy with the Horse, Round 2

Hmm...in that case, I'll move up to U13/V14, at which point you won't be able to see me as I proceed to go behind that wall.

Okay, new plan. Stop at U12/V13, where I should still be behind the wall. Ready a different action.

I think at this point, we need an LoS check.

[TheFallenOne]

Scorer
Climbing is still a kind of movement, so you can't take a 5 foot step and climb afterwards as per the usual rules for 5 foot steps

rewind to Abogralia 2 Turn 2

[Scorer]

@Fallenone

I would've sworn it works... Ok, let the turn as is, except for the 5' step...

Is it my turn again?

[TheFallenOne]

Refs
Let's see, Abogralias Move Silently is 10(modifier)+5(no roll)-5(full speed). With the -15 for the stone wall Guy can't hear that

Um, would Guy see the grappling hook on S9 when he's on ground level? :smallconfused: I assume not, though I may be wrong and we'll need a rewind

You're in S9+10 then

Ref Question

What would be the range increment to throw him alchemist Fire from where I stand?

[TheFallenOne]

Refs
Well, Guy can't make the spot, the pillar gives cover, but doesn't block LoS, so no -15 as far as I'm aware. Hm, does Abogralia even need to test move silently when he didn't move at all?
Listen for Guy [roll0]
Horse [roll1] though no idea if it would relay the information of hearing something
well, both rolls fail either way so I can go ahead without needing these questions answered

Guy
No LoS

Abogralia
as before
Distance would be 5 squares including height difference, so -4 range

carry on

Calculating mis direction of Attack 1

[roll0]

That means you take 4 damage, and your horse takes 2 damage from splash...

[Trobby]

<Waiting on the answer to a ref question.>

[Scorer]

Wait... I think the other one also hits you, as you're Flatfooted...

Then add 3 more damage...

[Trobby]

Three extra damage to me, or to the horse? Either way we'll survive, just need to check.

Anyway...

That Guy with the Horse, Round 6

You see that guy and the horse he rode in on at U9/V10.

The horse moves to U17/V18, then begins to run towards you. After a 20 ft. running start, it jumps. Keep in mind the Horse's jump check is +12 for speed, +4 for the Run feat, and +3 for strength (a total of +19), so even on a roll of 1, its peak height will be 5 ft. And since it is also impossible for it to jump over that amount, no jump check is required.

Now, once the horse reaches the peak of its jump, or at any point in which Abogralia comes into striking distance, That Guy will attack with his lance.

Attack Results:

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
Crit: [roll2]
Crit Damage: [roll3]

And horse will finally finish its move in U5/V6, with Guy making a ride check to take cover behind it at the end. (DC 15)

Ride: [roll4]

Stats:


HP: 3/10
AC: 20 (10+5 Armor +3 Dex +2 Potion (5/10 Rounds Remaining))
Current Weapon: MW Lance

Horse Stats:

AC: 14 (–1 size, +1 Dex, +4 natural)
Current Position: (U5/V6)

[TheFallenOne]

the elevation gives Abogralia cover against your attack, otherwise this would have been game.

[Trobby]

It's just as well. I wasn't sure if I would have a +8 on my attack anyway, since the mounted combat bonus comes from being on higher elevation than those not on a mounted creature (though it specifically comes from being mounted on a creature larger than the one being attacked, not by actual elevation), but I digress. With cover protection, it is definitely not enough to hit.

[TheFallenOne]

yeah and with the 2d6 ongoing fire damage you're dealt on his turn it's most likely over. Bad luck there

[Sallera]

A jump check, or rather ride check, is actually needed for that jump, since you use the lower of the mount's jump or your ride modifier.

[Trobby]

Ahh...well I'll wait for the ongoing damage to take effect, but in the meantime, where is that rule from? I don't seem to recall any such rule in the mounted combat section. Not saying it doesn't exist, I'd just like to see it myself.

[TheFallenOne]

Sallera is refering to the Ride skill


Leap

You can get your mount to leap obstacles as part of its movement. Use your Ride modifier or the mount’s Jump modifier, whichever is lower, to see how far the creature can jump. If you fail your Ride check, you fall off the mount when it leaps and take the appropriate falling damage (at least 1d6 points). This usage does not take an action, but is part of the mount’s movement.

Though I would have assumed that doesn't apply here because it's specifically about leaping over obstacles, not any jump the mount makes

[Trobby]

That's a little open to interpretation, I'm not sure myself. Though I think in this case it would make more sense, or at the very least require me to make a DC 15 Ride check to stay on the mount. Which I will do right now.

Ride: [roll0]

And the soft fall check to avoid falling damage.

Ride: [roll1]

Both of which are DC 15. If the first one fails, I fall. The second one determines if I also take 1d6 damage.

Damage: [roll2]

This would seem to make sense to me. Though I'd be alright with a ref re-interpretation.

Edit: So I didn't fall at least. And my ride result would be enough to get me that high anyway (It IS the lower of the two checks), so now it's just a matter of continual damage, which I will let Scorer roll.

Should be End of Turn

[Scorer]

The extra 3 damage is on you.

Rolling Extra damage

[roll0]

[Scorer]

I beleive that's game...

[Trobby]

Indeed it is. *Shakes hands* Good game. :smallwink:

[Scorer]

About time I could use my "Rapid-shot/PointBlankShot/Grenadier" combo :smallbiggrin:

Good game too, I thought you had me there, having such a horse speed is a great asset...

[TheFallenOne]

I'm a little doubtful if the greandier damage bonus applies to the continuing damage as well, but either way it's still enough. Go ask for a match call and round update in the Waiting Room

[Scorer]

The grenadier description says that it adds +1 to attack and ALL damages
