So am I just out that 50gp cause I hadn't looked up one of my opponent's feats?
Purchases: 2x Potion of Faith Healing (Sam Jones, Jr.) -100 GP
I'm done with purchases, pending the response to my question.
TheFallenOne
2010-08-16, 04:47 PM
well, the potion can come in useful if I run out of Searing firebolts before you go down. That is, if you survive 12d6 fire with -1 reflex...
I will add more to the scroll, need to ask something in the Waiting Room first. What question are you waiting on?
Master_Rahl22
2010-08-16, 05:00 PM
That question I asked in my last post. I'm assuming yes I'm out the 50gp since the arena tends to let you do stupid things unless they are instantly suicidal.
I'm ready to begin when you are, although I reserve the right to react if you make further purchases.
TheFallenOne
2010-08-16, 05:13 PM
I'll add a CL4 Searing Kelgores to my existing scroll, assuming my assumptions in the Waiting Room are right. If not, just scratch that one and I'm good to go
Start in Y11, holding scroll and nothing else. Your go
edit: and yeah, I think you can't take the purchase back because of an oversight. Though I'd actually prefer it if you could, there is a chance I get unlucky enough with my searing spells

Yeah, sorry. Although on the plus side, odds are good you'll find someone to use that potion on.

2010-08-16, 07:47 PM
yeah, fire is the most common elemental damage. Dragonsbreath arrows, the ever-popular kelgores, alchemist fires...

Yep. And as a bonus, in whatever fight you do use it, there's a chance your opponent won't even know you have it since you bought it earlier.

2010-08-16, 08:00 PM
of course, that isn't much help right now against resistance-bypassing nukes when you have a negative reflex save :smallbiggrin: I guess that's what the faith healings are for, though even with them a battle of attrition won't hold for him I fear

2010-08-17, 03:26 PM
wait a second, N13 is water. Maybe the intention was to go underwater and so get total cover? Though then he'd have to swim down instead of staying at the surface.
But even at the surface he get's +4 on Reflex saves... Guess he wants to stall and drink the second potion before engaging

shouldn't it be +5 then with rage or did you shift?

Make a Swim check once per round while you are in the water.
one swim check per turn, so no progress. Though you may have the second move action left

Now the action begins :smallamused:
Climbing out of water requires a DC 10 climb check. (Does not apply for gradual slopes).
Guess this counts as gradual slope?

Well, it's a bit more below average than the other was above( 1122 vs 5555). I just got really confused when I saw a one-digit number there, I mean Cinder calls herself nuker, 6 damage doesn't fit that reputation :smallbiggrin:
I was wondering if you'd post that song, love it.
yeah, let's see if I run out of good fire-themed songs before I burned everyone... may get narrow
Sallera
2010-08-17, 10:18 PM
Now that I look, you haven't actually got enough movement for that. 20ft to climb out (quarter speed), and 30ft more to reach T8.

huh, Eluveitie, nice. Quite a coincidence, only discovered the band couple weeks ago
What's the first one? Can't see it on account of being in Germany.
Well, I have some songs left, though I doubt I'll get through the Round without repetitions
Sallera
2010-08-17, 11:35 PM
Oh, it's region-limited? This is the only thing I use the site for, so I don't really pay attention. Anyway, first one is Bloodbirds by Agalloch.
TheFallenOne
2010-08-17, 11:45 PM
yeah, complicated. There are a lot of videos you can't see on youtube if your IP is located in Germany and you don't want to trouble yourself with a proxy because GEMA didn't give the license. For example, I can't find a non-live version of Bloodbirds or Sleep now in the Fire on youtube although I'm very sure there are some. Though I don't get the system behind what is inaccessible and what not, most songs I can find just fine(live, official video, with lyrics, AMVs...) unless it's something obscure
Master_Rahl22
2010-08-18, 07:00 AM
I'll end my turn at R-11 then. Do we keep the 6 damage roll and my successful save from his readied action since it went off before I made my illegal move? Can we keep the 11 he rolled for damage this time? :smallbiggrin:
TheFallenOne
2010-08-18, 12:13 PM
yes the readied stays
so just ending in R11 and no further action? Well, I expected something else :smallconfused:
not Rahl
and there I pondered how to counter a readied to move to avoid getting an AoO

2010-08-19, 03:40 PM
hey, melee can have very nice things, ask Aberrant Commoner or Sturmherz. Incidentally, both can bypass Abrupt Jaunt, though Sturmherz needs an enlarge potion. If you have enough melee range that a 10 feet jaunt doesn't get the wizard out of range it's whacking time
Well, I believe I need to do 43 damage to put you out(13 base +2 rage +18 potions), that's 40 so far.

That'll do, pig. That'll do. Goltoth is one charred shifter.
I looked up immediate actions, and if I had managed to managed to catch you flat footed that would've worked as well. If I'd bothered to look that up before the match I would've purchased a potion of Invisibility. The only other thing I could've done is ready an action to attack on your turn, forcing you to use an immediate action on your turn and not being able to do so again for a turn. Anyway, good match.
TheFallenOne
2010-08-19, 04:48 PM
Quite true, that are the ways to get past the Jaunt. The less cover on the map, the better for Cinder, a stealth character with blunt arrows could give her real trouble. Play against her on this open map or even worse a glass one and you're in trouble
Good game
