In addition, a coarse brown fur vest is worn over my studded leather armor. It appears to shift and move on its own, and dissipates into mistyness near my waist. Finally, at the waist, there is a wide belt of purple scales around my waist.

Symbol:Detect Magic does not give you locations until the third round of concentration on a particular area. Unless Light of Lunia has some special properties I'm not remembering, it's just a normal light source with regards to hiding.

[RandomAction]

No change in turn. Continue on Candycorn.

Refs:I was thinking that since it gave off a 30' radius then 30' of shadow beyond that, if she was hiding near me there would be no darkness for her to hide in. Anyways, thanks Sallera.

[Sallera]

Symbol:Yes, that much is true.

Wendy:Symbol is in K8, and starts casting a spell.

If my calculations are correct, Q7 to K8 is 30 feet. Provided that's true:
Standard: Ready action:Attack Symbol (Dissolving Spittle) if he takes any action, ends turn, or if any creature appears.

Done.

Refs/Personal notes:
Considering Wendy has an acid attack and her tactics in prior matches(teleporting), she is probably watching me right now from atop of one of the walls. Either I need to summon a flier to scout her out or something that can take an acidic blast if I can get her on the ground. My odds for winning this match wasn't good from the start anyway so.....

A celestial giant fire bettle appears in Q-8.

-Symbol's turn-
Point eastward and order the bettle to kill anything that it finds in that direction other than me - free.
Move to P-10 - move.
Ready an action - standard.
Trigger:Shoot Wendy with a Light of Lunia bolt if she comes into LoS and LoE.

-Bettle's turn-
Double move to Z-7(?)

[Sallera]

Wendy:A Celestial Giant Fire Beetle appears in Q8, triggering your readied action. Do you take it?

[candycorn]

...damn.

Yes, Sallera, I do.

Your beetle gets an attack of opportunity.

After that:

Touch attack: [roll0] at Symbol. (if you saw me in Q7, subtract 2 from this and apply your dex. Otherwise, this is vs flat footed touch AC.)
If Hit: [roll1] Acid damage.

After that, I appear in Q6. I am wielding a heavy shield and holding a loaded sling. Also, there's a bluish-green torc around my neck. The clasp in front of my throat resembles a pair of black dragons facing one another. In addition, a coarse brown fur vest is worn over my studded leather armor. It appears to shift and move on its own, and dissipates into mistyness near my waist. Finally, at the waist, there is a wide belt of purple scales around my waist.

[candycorn]

For Clarification: This happens when the beetle appears.

EDIT:
For further clarification: Wendy is currently Tiny.

[RandomAction]

Actually, I didn't see you. I was thinking that you were on top of a wall and thought that I would have to take you out using ranged attacks. That was a hit by the way. Now to so how badly I am going to fail here.

Symbol,R-4,redux:

AoO for the beetle:
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

-Symbol-
Order beetle to kill Wendy - free.
Move to P-8 - move
Shift devotion to attack - free.
Fire Lunia bolt - standard.
Ranged touch attack: [roll2]
Damage: [roll3]
Return devotion to AC - free.

-Beetle-
5' step to Q-7 - free.
Attack: [roll4]
Damage: [roll5]

End turn.

[candycorn]

Err... I made a typo. I meant to state that I appeared in Q7 (as Q6 did not have LOS to you, nor would the beetle have been able to attack).

The original text of "if you saw me in Q7" is the correct one. That may slightly alter the beetle's action (as it won't need a 5 foot step any longer).

[candycorn]

The above was to give you opportunity to adjust your movement based on the inaccurate information. The attacks will all miss regardless (current touch AC is 17, current total AC is somewhat higher... the bug needs a nat 20 to hit me). This is merely an opportunity to adjust the movement, since it was based on inaccurate information.

Specific requiring response from you: Your beetle's 5 foot step into Q7 wasn't legal, as I was there.

[RandomAction]

Well then we simply remove the stated 5' step for the beetle and since I could see it attack something then I could know that there was someone or thing to it's north. So if this is acceptable with you, then it's your turn.

[candycorn]

Works for me. I assume when you say "Lunia bolt", you meant "Light of Lunia"...

Hm. Let's see. Base touch AC of 12, with cover (16), with law devotion (19), vs my +8 to hit. Not the best option I have... Hm.

Wendy, Round 5, First to Act:

Swift: Allocate Essentia.
Standard: Ready Action:Blink if any of the following occurs: An attack is attempted by anything other than the Celestial Fire beetle
All hostile forces attempt to leave my LOS
Any hostile force within my LOS attempts to end turn.

Done.

Stats: Location: Q7, ready action
AC: 23 (10+5 dex + 2 size + 2 armor + 2 natural armor + 2 shield), Touch 17, FF 19
HP: 12/12
In Hand: Heavy Shield, Loaded Sling (drawn in round 2, post 10. Accidentally left out of round 2 and 3 stat block)
Melds: Dissolving Spittle (Expanded)(1), Blink Shirt (1), Wormtail Belt

Temporary Effects: Reduce Person 5/10

[RandomAction]

Yes on the Lunia Bolt being the Light of Lunia. Not real confident on my chances of winning in this match, but maybe I can pull an upset. Not!

Symbol,R-5:
-Symbol-
Move to Q-6 provoking an AoO - move.
Shift devotion to attack - free.
Ready an action - standard.
Trigger:
I am a little iffy here so, attempt a grapple on Wendy if: She tries to blink/teleport away, Moves or Ends her turn. I have not tried this before, is this a legal trigger?

-Beetle-
Attack Wendy - standard.
Bite: [roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

End turn.

[candycorn]

AoO Not taken. Waiting on ref question in waiting room before I decide whether or not to take my ready action.

[candycorn]

Not taking my ready action, since I'm operating under the assumption that you've read my previous matches (based on your assessment of my proclivity for being on walls, despite the fact that I don't have blink shirt on my standard list of shaped melds)... And if you have, you have to have a good idea of what I'll do.

So I'll change up my tactics, and hope you were so focused on my probable actions (like I was yours) that you made the same mistake with your readied action that I made with mine (namely, forgot to include an option to trigger when you readied).

My Turn:

Ready action:Blink if any hostile force takes any action whatsoever, makes any non-action attack, activates a readied action, or leaves my LOS in any other way. Basically, if I detect any change other than out of turn free actions after I ready this.

Done.

Stats:Location: Q7, ready action
AC: 23 (10+5 dex + 2 size + 2 armor + 2 natural armor + 2 shield), Touch 17, FF 19
HP: 12/12
In Hand: Heavy Shield, Loaded Sling (drawn in round 2, post 10. Accidentally left out of round 2 and 3 stat block)
Melds: Dissolving Spittle (Expanded)(1), Blink Shirt (1), Wormtail Belt

Temporary Effects: Reduce Person 6/10

[RandomAction]

Well since I do not desire a duel of readied actions, I will take mine. Though this does leave me fuzzy on the results on initiative, mainly I think I still get my turn.

My readied triggers when you end turn. Attempt a grapple on you granting an AoO. Any bonuses for me since you are tiny sized?

Melee touch: [roll0]
Grapple check: [roll1] add 3 if Devotion helps with this.
Damage if needed: [roll2]

Waiting on results and to see if I triggered your readied.

[candycorn]

You did, and I will take it, although the tough attack would have missed.

My trigger was: "if any hostile force takes any action whatsoever, makes any non-action attack, activates a readied action, or leaves my LOS in any other way. Basically, if I detect any change other than out of turn free actions after I ready this."

Vanish, and appear in Q5 (+15).

Now, my turn happened.
Your ready action put you before me.
My ready action to that put me before you again.

Right?

[candycorn]

Provided that is true:

My turn:
Swift: Allocate Essentia
Attack (Symbol, Dissolving Spittle): [roll0] vs touch AC
Damage: [roll1] acid

Done.
Stats:Location: Q5(+15)

With that amount of damage I believe that's match.
