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.

[vollmond]

Jack here

[roll0]

PsiDog

Well, this one's going to be interesting. I can do the scattering thing and hold off the summons for a bit, but now we have ranged to deal with.

edit: also, I can now (just barely) afford Arcanist's Gloves for CL3 KFB, in a pinch. Won't have any effect on Swift Expeditious Retreat, unfortunately. For future reference, do they apply to scrolls?

[Master_Rahl22]

So, we meet again!

[roll0]

@Aguacatl:
Hmm, so we were fairly lucky last time. I think we ought to consider some way to get concealment since Twang has absurd attack modifiers. Any other ideas?

[Scorer]

Init
[roll0]

@Shooter

Well, I still have hat scroll of heat and chill, they may not be aware of that as I reported that purchase in the other match....

Also, I'm out of money, and they come from winning, they've got money now...

LEt's hope they don't buy anything to counter my summons...

Let me go check their sheets to see if I can think of something

[Psionic Dog]

Hello again.

I'm still in Final's Week + Apartment Hunting + Moving so just a heads up that my posting will be a little slower than normal with a possible chance of no internet access days. I think I'll still be able to get posts in within the normal 2-day (at least most of the time), but I'd appreciate it if no one DQs me should I go over.


[roll0]
EDIT: Wow, the 23 goes last...

vollmond
I don't know what exactly it is that Arcanist's Gloves do. If they increase the caster level of a spell they'd probably apply to scrolls, but if they increase your caster level then it wouldn't change a scroll's caster level since that's determined by the crafter.

I suppose we could try the scatter tactic, but since Aguacatl can potentially summon from across the sands it may only slow the pet. Attack Actions would be more effective methinks.

I'm planning on buying Twang either another AC buff for more "Make a nat 20 or miss" fun or else a Hide-from-Animals / Protection-From-X to completely ignore the summons.

Should we try doing this about the same way as our last face off against this group and hope our luck is better or is there some other tactic we should try?

[Scorer]

@Shooter

I think this time we go for the heavy undergrowth, I would have a +17 Hide bonus there, and I can even try sniping with a -3 mod...

and there we can take advantage of Jack's Murky eyed...

What do you think?

[vollmond]

Initiative:
Aguacatl
Shooter
Twang
Jack

This is very nearly the same init order for our last bout... *sigh*

PsiDog

The exact wording is thus:

you add 2 to the caster level of the next 1st level arcane spell you cast

(hopefully I pared that text down enough that it doesn't violate the IP-police)

It works twice a day, no action to activate. Still trying to decide if it's worth the 500 GP...

Alternatively, I could always use some armor (mundane studded leather at the moment). A masterwork bow would probably not be a horrible idea.

Ohh... I just had a thought. Jack gets Silence as a 1/day SLA. Summon Nature's Ally has a verbal component. Though, Aguacatl has a +6 Will save... does that apply even if I just catch him in the area? Or would he only get a save if I directly targeted him? Reference (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/silence.htm)

edit: meh. I think i'm going to pass on the gloves. They'll be great once/if I hit 3rd level and get Arcane Channeling, but I think they may be overpriced for the benefit I'll get right now.

[Psionic Dog]

@vollmond
The will save only applies if directly targeted, but I think the Whisper Gnome's Silence has to be centered on himself, forcing Jack to have to personally move within 20ft of Aguacatl to shut down a summon.

If it wasn't for that I'd have said we had a winning tactic.


A few Crazy Ideas that might work:

Crazy Idea #1:
Kelgore's Fire Bolt -> Aguacatl casting
With only a +2 Concentration modifier even minimal damage gives a 45% chance of disrupting a spell.

Crazy Idea #2:
Twang leaves his leather armor at home and we declare as mundane preparations that Jack starts carrying Twang for a heavy load. Twang delays, Jack Swift Retreats to take both of us to W where Jack then drops Twang into V before moving to T himself. Why? Because it lets Twang also get to T on his first move so on round #1 both of us can shoot from hiding anyone/thing in LoS topside.

Crazy Idea #3:
We use a smoke stick to fog up T13/U14 and stand side by side at T so nothing can flank us.

Crazy Idea #4:
We don't run topside at all, but instead stay in the start zone with ready actions to shoot the first non-summon we see.

Just some thoughts.

[vollmond]

PsiDog
D'oh, I missed that caveat about the SLA. Too bad.

I think we'll have a lot of luck with #2 and a bit of #1 thrown in. #3 is tempting... if we do it that way, are we susceptible to the miss chance? Jack is Murky-Eyed. I don't think #4 gives us much benefit, since we can't use the time to buff. Also, for #2, is it legal to perform a free action in the middle of a move?

Other thoughts: Shooter has a composite longbow (+1 str) -- I could drop 25 GP on a scroll of Ray of Enfeeblement and remove him from the picture for ranged (no save, though he'll probably guess the plan right away. not sure if he can counter it without dropping 300 gp on a potion of Bull's Strength).

[Psionic Dog]

@vollmond
Ok, fresh from the waiting room. Dropping an 'object' may be done in the middle of a move action. Sound's like we have a plan. I'll probably buy a psionic tatoo of force screen incase they're slow moving topside to help cover the AC loss.

As for miss chance, only creatures inside the smoke/cloud have concealment. So if we're in a cloud but they aren't then they have to roll a miss chance but we won't.

I'm not sure if Ray of Enfeeblement is worth it. The 1 minute duration and the 25 ft range might be a problem.

Any finally thoughts?

[vollmond]

PsiDog

Yeah, looks good. I guess I'll get a MW bow, then.

[Psionic Dog]

Purchasing one Psionic Tatoo of Inertial Armor. 50gp

No other purchases planed, although a reactionary buy is possible if applicable.

[Scorer]

Reactionary? You're laughing at us? :smalltongue:

[vollmond]

Selling my bow and buying a masterwork composite bow (+37.5, -400 gp)

PsiDog
So, should I start holding my bow, or the smokestick + tindertwig? I can't decide if I think the smokestick is worth it. If I get to the top and they're visible, I should take a shot. If they're not visible, shouldn't I ready an action for a shot?

Here's where I go into frozen-strategy mode :smallsmile: indecision...

[Master_Rahl22]

Aguacatl:
Sounds good. I think I'll have you cast that Cat's Grace on me, if you don't think it will kill you this time. :smalltongue: I will also get a potion of Shield of Faith, and at least one Cure potion to pour down your throat.

[Psionic Dog]

Idle Chatter...

@ vollmond
I'll most certainly want you to start holding me and the bow. If it's possible to carry the smoke stick/ tinder twig around without it interfering with your shooting or casting you may as well hold it, but if holding an extra item would make your casting or archery less effective you'd probably be better off keeping it packed up.


Scorer:
So... you're not planing on buying a bag of caltrops and a wedge of apocalyptic cheese? :smallconfused:

I suppose in hindsight it seems unlikely, but this being the arena one never knows. So if y'all are ready to start without a purchase then feel free to get the first round started. :smallcool:

[Scorer]

Before I buy a bread loaf...

@Shooter

But... Aren't scrolls wasted when failing Caster check?

As far as I remember I ruined yours scroll :smallredface:

one thing before LoS check

Scorer
How are you holding a scroll and a heavy shield in the same hand? That only works with bucklers and light shields

Also, Heat and Chill Metal are two separate spells, so you have to choose which of the two to carry

[Scorer]

@Refs

Oh right... got used to Oro's buckler. Let's say I have it on mouth...

And I bought Heat and Chill on the same scroll.

[TheFallenOne]

Jack/Twang/Refs
Y13 to T13 are 9 squares, 45 feet.
Swift Expedious Retreat changes your base speed to 60, with medium/heavy load that's reduced to 40. It seems your plan was to drop Twang along the way to get some extra movement for being in a light load again. You move 3 3 squares with the heavy load, then 6 with light load again. Since the load reduces your speed to 2/3, this may work out, though I'm really not sure on it. I'll just go ahead with it for now and leave it to a High Ref to intervene if it doesn't work that way

Now it gets interesting. Precedent says

Cliff squares slope directly from the highest elevation they are adjacent to down to +0ft.
That should mean that there's LoS between Jack and the opposing team on the first line; he has cover thanks to the elevation, they don't, but the undergrowth gives concealment, so both sides can hide
Team Red fails to beat his Hide because of Distance penalty. Tunatl is too far away for Scent. They beat his MS of 11(Shooter by 1 because of distance as far as I can tell, Aguacatl by 4). Generic direction should be east
Jacks spot fails, as does Listen because there's nothing to hear for now. But he sees the scroll on the ground in H1


Aguacatl
Shooter is in G1. You hear movement to the east


Shooter

Far as I can tell P3 to H1 is 11 squares(8 horizontal, 2 vertical, 4 down), so Jacks spot fails vs Hide 17 and Aguacatls Spot draws with Jacks hide(22 vs 27-5 distance). Jack wins the draw because of higher modifier, so no LoS on Scorers turn

Isn't "Out of range" considered as illegal action?

I think I have seen precedent of an out of range spell simply failing, but tracking that one down would be some work. If you think it is an illegal action(can't blame you, 150 GP down the drain for nothing is harsh) take it to a High Ref, I can't make final rulecalls on something like that myself

Catching On Fire

Characters exposed to burning oil, bonfires, and noninstantaneous magic fires might find their clothes, hair, or equipment on fire. Spells with an instantaneous duration don’t normally set a character on fire, since the heat and flame from these come and go in a flash.

Characters at risk of catching fire are allowed a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid this fate. If a character’s clothes or hair catch fire, he takes 1d6 points of damage immediately. In each subsequent round, the burning character must make another Reflex saving throw. Failure means he takes another 1d6 points of damage that round. Success means that the fire has gone out. (That is, once he succeeds on his saving throw, he’s no longer on fire.)

A character on fire may automatically extinguish the flames by jumping into enough water to douse himself. If no body of water is at hand, rolling on the ground or smothering the fire with cloaks or the like permits the character another save with a +4 bonus.

Those unlucky enough to have their clothes or equipment catch fire must make DC 15 Reflex saves for each item. Flammable items that fail take the same amount of damage as the character.

So d6 damage immediately after you were hit, another d6 next round if you fail the save again

Rahl/Vollmond
You forgot to roll the initial d6 fire damage, do so now please

Two things:
If people are observing you, even casually, you can’t hide Or maybe it just means you couldn't hide from Jack, but it would work on anyone else without LoS right now

Last turn your animal companion left your LoS, so you can't control him anymore, he won't hear your commands. You wrote "Tunatl goes to attack", I take that to mean you instructed him to engage the enemy, upon which he moved towards to stairs to reach the location where he saw Jack, though he may attack Twang if he finds him first. You want to go with that?

How do the cliffs affect cover? My assumption is that I have cover from Shooter and Aguacatl, but that they do not have cover from me. Is that accurate? Why or why not? (if that last question isn't too impertinent :smallwink:) Just making sure I'm making the right assumptions.

well, the AC can reach you with a double move. I'm torn if an Int 2 creature would stop at O4 once it reaches an enemy or continue to P4 where it would threaten both of you. I'll go with the latter for now, if you think that's too smart for animal intelligence we'll ask another High Ref to give his opinion.

I'm a fan that animal companions, summons, etc close with and attack the closest creature unless instructed otherwise... but I can't where my hat for this match.

[TheFallenOne]

sorry everyone, seems I missed a turn revision from Jack. He indeed is in S3, not P3 like he initially planned to. Far as I can see right now this didn't make any difference for any attacks thus far, they'd still hit/miss no matter if he's in P or S3. But if anyone demands a rewind I guess you have the right to it from the moment I gave the false information regarding Jacks location

Jack/Twang
well, given Jacks location Tunatl will move to P4

[vollmond]

Ooops, missed the rewind. Hoping to have a turn up at some point today, but please don't DQ me if circumstances intervene.

[TheFallenOne]

Ooops, missed the rewind. Hoping to have a turn up at some point today, but please don't DQ me if circumstances intervene.

well, I guess that counts as a notification of absence as the Arena Manager guidelines, so no DQ for now

[vollmond]

Ok, I am back. Sorry for the length of absence (lots of circumstances intervened in annoying ways).

Having reviewed the information, my turn 9 stands. I wouldn't have done anything different given the new information.

Rahls HP total is off, looking over the match it seems he missed the 4 fire damage
So far he took
2(1 fire), no crit (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8539365&postcount=65)
4 initial fire after failed save (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8551111&postcount=77)
2(1 fire) (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8596417&postcount=105)
2(1 fire), another 1 fire (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8672358&postcount=135)
3 fire for failing Reflex again on his turn
I'm not sure when exactly the fire damage is taken(End of Shooters turn?), but he goes down with -2 HP unless I missed something

this DOES hold up play

down and bleeding. Roll stabilization beginning next turn

Jack
Shooter goes down. You see Tunatl and your teammate

Twang
LoS on Tunatl, Jack and Shooter. Shooter goes down to fire damage and is unconscious. You may revise, though I guess you won't

Shooter/Jack/Twang
so what happens to an unconscious character who is on fire?

[vollmond]

Refs/Shooter/Twang
I would assume he auto-fails his each-round reflex save. Perhaps a teammate could sub for the full-round action to put it out?

[Psionic Dog]

Nothing invalidated the out of order turn, so I guess this still stands. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8684550&postcount=140)

I can't tumble and need to reload anyway, so I'm planing to just ready myself to step out of reach and reload against it attacking.

However if you think you can tumble past it then go for it: the beast will probably make it's next attack against me if you stay out of reach.

I was in S3, correct. If he ended his turn in LoS, then yes I would like a rewind. Thanks!

on Aguacatls turn, the wolf attacks
I think the thought here is that the readied 5 foot step makes the attack wasted and you get a free shot, right?

[Psionic Dog]

Refs/LoS
Pretty much.

Readied action triggers. Twang steps to R-3 out of reach and reloads his crossbow (with masterwork).

What does that make the new initiative count?

[TheFallenOne]

Twang
hm, interesting question in fact, depends on if the summon or Aguacatl is supposed to act first or if they share an initiative. I'd go with the latter, meaning your place is right ahead of Aguacatl/summon, so in fact no change in initiative

[TheFallenOne]

:smallsigh: I really should pay more attention, I misread Twangs movement. On Aguacatls turn, he 5 foot steps to R3 and reloads his crossbow, so every player sees every other player. Twang R3, Jack S3, Aguacatl F1. This may give Aguacatl a rewind

Jack/Twang
the reason for this confusion is that you said you step out of the wolfs reach, so I thought you back off 5 feet, but in fact you stepped to R3, which is still in the reach of the wolf in Q4

So you get the attack of the wolf
Attack [roll0]
Damage [roll1]+ [roll2] cold
Trip if hit [roll3]

and an AoO for reloading
Attack [roll4]
Damage [roll5]+ [roll6] cold
Trip if hit [roll7]

[Scorer]

I keep turn as stated...

[TheFallenOne]

In that case Jack hits you with a Dragonsbreath arrow in his turn for 3 damage(1 fire), Reflex DC 15 to avoid catching fire for another 3 damage and game

oh great... now that i have no more healing...

[TheFallenOne]

well I told you as soon as you saw him, not that it helped

Oh, when does a character stabilize on the d100, high or low roll? I just rolled it without defining when it would happen...

[Scorer]

just a comment :smalltongue: don't take it to heart.

Actually this game is mostly done for...

And I also use low on my RL table, but that's me...

[Psionic Dog]

Refs/Jack/
*face palm* Oh. Oh wow, I completely forgot where I and the wolf were and where I was going. Maybe I meant to move to S-3, maybe I thought I was in Q-3, I don't know.

Well, luckily it was a lot less fatal than stepping into lava would have been.

So, question: Is the wolf still around or has it now vanished?

[TheFallenOne]

well, it had 2 actions, so it will vanish at the start of Aguacatls next turn, according to what you told me regarding summons in our Round 89 match

not Aguacatl
and yes, you really got off lucky there :smallbiggrin:
