Reporting in

As told before, my connection is down, so I may be able to post once a week...not anymore, full internet again... :smallsmile:

[roll0]

EDIT: Ah yes, no purchases...

[Mysterious_A]

Should be enough to keep things moving, I think.

But anyway, may I say Mariachi is one inventive usage of both Aristocrat and Water Orc? When I saw him I immediately became a fan. :smallsmile:

[Scorer]

Nevermind the above, I have full internet again :smallcool:

[Koury]

[roll0]

No purchases

[Mysterious_A]

So Jarian hasn't logged on in a little over 3 weeks. Seeing as the other match had one of the contestants (absent for aproximately the same ammount of time) get a DQ, might I suggest we do as well?

[Sallera]

Jarian does have an absence notice in her signature, so I'm inclined to give her the standard week.

[Mysterious_A]

Ah, did not see that. In that case waiting is more than fine, of course.

[Scorer]

Seems that the week time period has elapsed...

[Sallera]

High Ref Sallera

Anarelia eats the lightning.

Carry on.

[Koury]

Aww, never like to see someone time out.

However, yay, at least 3rd. :smalltongue:

[Mysterious_A]

We can start then, yes?

Refs:Right, so, I apparently forgot these hedges are only 5ft tall... and Mariachi's 10.

Randal:At the start of the match, you see Mariachi mounted in M1/N2, wielding lance. Does this change your turn?

Mariachi:At the start of the match, you see Dartanil in Y14, holding crossbow and potion. You see Randal in his starting area, wielding spiked chain.

Dartanil:At the start of the match, you see Mariachi mounted in M1/N2, wielding lance. Does this change your turn?

Sorry for the long rewind here, but I missed something first time around. Just need a couple answers.

[Mysterious_A]

Sallera:

I thought you couldn't see through a hedge square? Either way, my actions remain.

Edit: Quick question though, would shooting at him in these exact conditions carry any penalty for cover or such? Many thanks.

[Sallera]

Dartanil:The hedges are 5ft tall, and Mariachi is 10ft tall while mounted. There would be no cover bonus, since you can choose the square to attack when attacking a large creature. Also, I apparently wasn't thinking very clearly earlier, since these conditions mean that you have LoS to Mariachi at the start of the match, not just when you enter S14, so you can revise your turn entirely if you wish.

[Koury]

Refs: Doesn't change my first round. Second MIGHT change depending on any new info. If there is none, then it remains as well.

Mariachi Orco 1st Turn redux


Im assuimg you can have crossbows loaded at beggining of match?
Yes! Im desperate! :smallbiggrin:
Another question what kind of action is to guide mount to do a move action? it doesn't say... Im assuming it is a move action...
If I make an AoO, would it drop me to -1 if Im disabled at 0hp?

End of questions...

[Sallera]

Mariachi:Yes, of course; projectile weapons are assumed to be loaded at start unless stated otherwise. The mount uses its own actions to move; just moving requires none of yours. (Unless you mean telling it to move when you're not riding it, in which case you would use the usual Handle Animal rules.) And yes, given that it calls out quickened spells as an example of strenuous action, I believe an attack would qualify regardless of the action type used to take it.

[Mysterious_A]

So... my turn again, aye? Guessing we should get some Los.

[Mysterious_A]

Hm, well, I might as well take my turn, it wouldn't change any unless I was suddenly hit by a critical crossbow bolt. And what are the chances of that happening so early in the match? :smalltongue:

Dartanil, Round 2

Refs/Los:

Free to take 5-foot step to W-23.

Full-round action to reload heavy crossbow.

Refs:2nd round stands as posted, I believe. :smallsmile:

[Sallera]

Refs:Nyar.

Randal:Sorry, looks like I read your location wrong last time; you did see Mariachi end in W2/X3. Let me know if that would change your turn, but otherwise, no LoS.

Mariachi:Dartanil is in W23. Randal moves east out of LoS.

Dartanil:Mariachi is in W2/X3.

Mariachi's turn.

Refs: No change. :smallsmile:

Still Mariachi's turn.

Edit: Hey, no crit. Still a win I guess, but not as classy one as it could have been.

Good game, Scorer, good game. I eagerly await the chance for a rematch.

[Scorer]

Unless the horse keeps fighting... Im not sure, I've been ruled different several times about animals staying alive.

[Sallera]

Oh aye, it's alive. But without any opposing gladiators remaining, the match ends anyway.

Dartanil's blade follows his bolt for an assured victory.
