Lighting is nice and uniform.
Walls are stone, practically impossible to destroy and go all the way to the ceiling.
The ceiling is 30' high and is made out of the same stuff as the outer walls.
Floor is packed dirt.

The outer walls of the arena are magically reinforced. They block teleportation through them and cannot be bypassed by any available means.

Roll perception, both of you

[Nohwl]

perception
[roll0]

[Claudius Maximus]

Nohwl:
With your ghostwise sight you detect a movement taking place in the southeast corner. It's harder to see than usual for some reason, but it looks to stop in U43.

[Bucky]

[roll0]

(Now that you know the formula you can do it yourself!)

[Claudius Maximus]

LoS

Bucky:
You discover nothing new, just a huge clearing in the middle I guess.

Nohwl:
The movement suddenly gets way harder to detect with your Ghostwise Sight for some reason. You think it's closer now? Still not super close though.

Turn not done, waiting on LoS

[Claudius Maximus]

LoS:

Nohwl:
Your Ghostwise Sight picks up something more clear again. Still blurry, but you make out movement from X36 to X32.
Bucky:
You do not see anybody.

[Bucky]

Standard:

Cast Resist Energy(Fire) on myself


Swift is saved for an immediate.

[Nohwl]

[roll0]

my turn

swift action to use when to fold to fly to 10, u, 5
move action, move to 19, u, 0

if i have los and loe
use all focus to reduce his ac with i am not left handed
standard action, use terror

if i don't
standard action, get focus

[Claudius Maximus]

LoS established!

Bucky:
You see a flying skeleton warrior, over six feet tall, clad in leather armor, and weilding a flaming katana in each hand. He moves from behind the columns and moves to U19, 15 feet in the air. Wait for his action.
Nohwl:
Looking where your Ghostwise Sight tells you, you definitely notice signs of a presence in X32, 10 feet up. However, your opponent is clearly invisible. You can figure him out enough to attack and target, but yeah. Invisible.

Take your action openly now.

[Nohwl]

use all focus to reduce his ac with i am not left handed reducing ac by 12
standard action, use terror, will dc of 23

[Bucky]

Will [roll0]

[Claudius Maximus]

After an extensive discussion in the #Legend chat, it has been determined that Terror is straight up bananas, and is thus banned. Nohwl is the victor because Bucky must flee forever and can not escape. In other contexts, Bucky would flee and therefore Nohwl would have "won" the encounter.

Since the borkedness of Terror has been established, the contestants have agreed to continue the fight as if it had not been used, just to have a sick Legend swordfight. The match is now an unofficial exhibition, Nohwl's action is undone (he will take another one now), and we will see who comes out on top in a real fight. :smallamused:

[Nohwl]

i'll use an immediate action to use when to run to move from 19, u, 0 to 24, x, 10

then i'll use my standard action to charge

my two fear auras activate (one activates when i get in close range, the other when i get to melee range), dc 23 will save for both.

attack
[roll0]

damage
[roll1]

[Nohwl]

ending charge at 29, x, 10.

[Bucky]

Save 1: [roll0]
Save2: [roll1]

Attack gets blocked by Kensai.

[Bucky]

Invisible 5' step (from Terrible Swift Lash)

to X33


Next, I use Devastating Barrage. An invisible force manifests itself at (X29, altitude 10') and travels to (X21, altitude 10'), carrying you along with it, before exploding with a 45' radius. If you are inside that radius, you take 13 damage and must make a DC24 Fortitude save vs. becoming prone and taking 13 additional damage.

(not done, waiting for save result.)

EDIT:Claudius Maximus ruled that the barrage must originate from my own square. The barrage only travels as far as X24 as a result.

Statblock:

X33, altitude 10'
HP:156/156
6 Focus

Spells left:
1st circle:6
2nd circle:7
3rd circle:7
4th circle:4

Other:
2 shimmering runes placed on myself

Has a 130-point Resist Fire.

[Nohwl]

fort save
[roll0]

[Bucky]

Finishing up my turn, I use a standard action to cast Acid Fog, Centered at (X24, 10' altitude). Radius is 20'. Anyone within that area takes 26 Acid damage at the start of their turn. Anyone moving through that area must make a DC24 Will save to move at half speed; otherwise, they only move 5'.

Also, having used my Move action to not move, I take an invisible 5' step to

W33


Swift reserved for an immediate action.

Statblock:


W33, altitude 10'

[Bucky]

Stealth and Perception:

[roll0] (+range, +5 vs. vision)
[roll1]

[Nohwl]

ok, perception to see you
[roll0]

waiting to find out the perception roll before finishing

[Claudius Maximus]

LoS:

Bucky:
Through the fog you feel him in X24.
Nohwl:
You are blinded by fog oh no! Also, you only detect the vaguest movement with your Ghostwise sight. You're not sure what to make of it, other than that there is some happening.

[Nohwl]

will save
[roll0]

if i pass, i'll move 25 feet forward as a move action, and then i'll use when to run to move another 30 feet forward ending at 35,x,10

if i run into anything, i'd like to use my standard action to attack

if not, i guess i'll move 5 feet to 25, x and use kensai to get focus

[Bucky]

Standard action:
I cast Wall of Thorns.
A 20' cube from X24, 0' to U27, 20' is filled with thorns. (U23, 10')-(X23,10') are also filled with thorns. These thorns deal 39 damage to everything caught inside them. The thorns stay around, too.

Move action:
Stay put.
