[Sallera]

Refs:Nyar.

Sparky:When you reach J10, you see Louis in M24, holding nothing, and a ballista in K21. You may revise your turn from this point.

Louis:You see Sparky in J10, holding a powerstone, which triggers your readied action. As you can't reach any weapons with LoE to that square, however, it is wasted.

[theterran]

Sparky - Round 3 (revised)

I stop in J10 and manifest off of the powerstone!

Cold [roll0] Fort Halves DC12

Then I drop the stone and end my turn.

Stats:
Location - J10
HP: 10/5
AC: 19 Touch 15 FF 15

Vigor - (2/10)
IA - (3/10)

PP - 9/9

[Dwalin]

Alright, I admit defeat since even a successful save knocks me out. Quick check though. I wasn't sure about it, and just looked it up and I think passing through the corner of a square which blocks counts as blocked, so he shouldn't have LoS from J-10 (the only possible line is squeezed away by K-14 and L-24). I think this is my only chance to avoid instant death, so I will take it.

[Sallera]

Hrm, looks fine to me. Were you perhaps checking from centre to centre as opposed to corner to any point?

Sparky exploits the low weather tolerance of the ruling class for the victory.

[Dwalin]

Woops, figured it out, my straight edge just wasn't quite straight enough.
