Purchases so far:
Potion of Resist Energy(Fire) from a Duskblade: -50gp

Not done making purchases. Where are Sticky Floor and Blockade found?

[TheFallenOne]

Complete Scoundrel and Races of the Dragon, as per my sheet

you are aware what Searing Spell + Metamagic School Focus does, right?

[Master_Rahl22]

...

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]

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]

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]

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

[hustlertwo]

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

[TheFallenOne]

yeah, fire is the most common elemental damage. Dragonsbreath arrows, the ever-popular kelgores, alchemist fires...

[hustlertwo]

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.

[TheFallenOne]

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

Cinder:Goltoth triggers your readied action from H15. Do you take it?

[TheFallenOne]

on the assumption you still hold a potion in one hand, I take my readied action when you enter H15. Cinder appears in W8 and there's a big block of wood in V8

Non-Searing Kelgores

Komm mir nicht zu nah, sonst kann's geschehen
Daß wir beide lichterloh in Flammen stehen

Ich will brennen, ich will brennen

Doesn't look like that breaks LoS.

[TheFallenOne]

so, may he revise on account of noticing that he still sees me or is it my turn and I can view the spoiler?

[Sallera]

Your turn; he drinks the potion and rages.

[TheFallenOne]

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

Just realized I wasn't factoring in my Strength bonus from raging into those Swim checks. Doesn't matter since I made them, but just wanted to mention why this one is a higher modifier.

Goltoth, Round 5 amended

Since first check failed and I have another move action, Move: Swim to T-15
[roll0]

[TheFallenOne]

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


Check

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

[Master_Rahl22]

Odd, I swear I had that I shifted in there for this turn when I posted. Ok, so I'm still in R-14 and have shifted. Your turn.

[TheFallenOne]

the block of wood I conjured is gone

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?

Readied triggers once you're out of the water

Searing Kelgores Firebolt, [roll0] fire, reflex 15 halves ... the hell?

Turn coming after your save

[Sallera]

I believe we did rule a DC10 climb for getting out of the river here.
... the hell?It's only making up for the last one. :smalltongue:

[Master_Rahl22]

I was wondering if you'd post that song, love it.

[roll0]

Oh, and I hate Abrupt Jaunt. Just thought you should know. Last post for around 9 hours or so, bedtime. :smallsmile:

[Master_Rahl22]

Ok, climb to get out of the river
[roll0]

[TheFallenOne]

It's only making up for the last one. :smalltongue:

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]

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.

[TheFallenOne]

and successful save, so 3 damage. Almost seppuku-worthy

Cinder Turn 6

Do you like being that... fired up? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4oli4_cSY4)

Huh... as it turns out, I don't actually have many (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1aJPEFtoNg) songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF7qQR7-dY4) that (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS9M1niqiY8) fit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tft1RCIVlcI) the (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g63jgTRyDDY) theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wik-Xv9uD7I). Guess pyromania's less common than I thought. :smalltongue:

[TheFallenOne]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

Yeah, yet another example of melee can't have nice things.

[TheFallenOne]

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.

And sorry, the Jaunt was to N19, misstype

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]

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
