Fingers (http://www.coyotecode.net/profiler/view.php?id=8802) - Psionic Dog
Gullfaxi (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=220121) - TheFallenOne

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

[Psionic Dog]

What's a Celestial like you doing with a Cha of 4?

Here's my initiative while I consider purchases.
[roll0]

[TheFallenOne]

he may be Celestial, but the foam in his mouth when he gets angry is a slight turn-off for some

I noticed my tower shield never entered my purchase log, so I overspent. I guess I have to retroactively sell the shield again and one of my faith healings

Initiative [roll0]

[Psionic Dog]

Hmm. A very very fast Law-Devotiong Whirling-Frenzy Barbarian quadruped.

Currency: 477 after last win.
I'm feeling an armor upgrade.

Purchasing:
A Masterwork Breastplate with Armor Spikes. [400 gp]
And... Hmm.

And an Alchemist Fire.
That "2x cost for personal powers" really does put a cramp in the psionic tatoo market. :smallfrown:

Reserve right to any reactionary buys.

[TheFallenOne]

no reactionaries

Start in M23, greatsword in hands, ranseur in mouth

looks like I'll get a taste of my personal favourite, the Aberrant Blood feats :smalltongue:

[Psionic Dog]

Starting in M4 in the shiny new breastplate with Glave in hands and my own ranseur between Finger's Teeth.

Other Preparations
Old scale mail left at home.

Your go.

[TheFallenOne]

how long does that work at most?

[Psionic Dog]

CL3 invisibility lasts up to 3 minutes.

[hustlertwo]

Well, at least you didn't activate your rage yet, Fallen. But looks like Travel Devotion and Law are going to fall by the wayside.

[TheFallenOne]

which was actually the plan to get him to expend his invisibility. Worst case for me was a readied invisibility+5 foot step triggered by me provoking an AoO, I charge, he gets a free attack, my action is wasted and he gets a full attack on top. Now I just need to tank his one free attack from invisibility

[TheFallenOne]

my readied action triggers when you become invisible, I move to M13. You can revise your turn from there

[Psionic Dog]

Ok.
No Change

I guess it's your go.

Fingers - Round 3

... All things considered that's a pretty sweet spot to stand when facing an invisible foe.

Last roll neglected the -2 enlarged Dex, but he still doesn't hear me.

Well, no real incentive to go up after him just yet.

Sneak to E8/F9
[roll0] Includes -5 speed
Standard:Fighting Defensively Ready Action
Fighting Defensively strike the first glass pane within reach and LoE that Gullfaxi moves adjacent to.

Bonus points: Since that's indirect harm it won't break invisibility.

Want me to read the passive spoilers after each turn and comment if you heard anything, or would you rather leave that to a ref?

Fingers:Gullfaxi is in M13.

Gullfaxi:You hear movement to the north and detect the presence of an invisible creature.

[TheFallenOne]

probably because you already keep watch over a good pile of matches as is. I did ask if any match needs a LoS provider some days ago in the Waiting Room, you could just've given me one of yours to take over

turn may change depending on listen successes of any kind

[Psionic Dog]

Your listen heard movement to the East.
That change anything?

[TheFallenOne]

is that the active or passive listen?

[Psionic Dog]

Passive.

If you keep the same active Listen:
Still just movement to the east: no additional information

[TheFallenOne]

hm...

no change

[Psionic Dog]

Readied Action triggers when Gullfaxi readies an action.

[roll0] (include +2 unseen)
[roll1]

Afterward Fingers is visible in P13/Q14.

I'm guessing your readied action then triggers too, but I can't remember if it's on your turn or at the start of Finger's next turn.

[TheFallenOne]

"Ouchie in my brain."

looks like game. Here going for Mad Foam Rager instead of the ever-popular Rageclaws bites me in the back

I knew you were close when a listen 12 was a success. I contemplated a blind rage charge, but I would've needed good guesswork on where you are... Pity I had no money left for See Invisibility
