Hi folks. Dartanil's finances:

question how much exp/money did second get with 1 dq? Also due to some circumstances at work (my boss quitting) I may not be able to post much over the next few weeks until they can get a new manager in my store with that being said if you guys feel I may not be able to post as much as required go ahead and dq me now.

[theterran]

Purchases Coming..

...and wow...you don't see them because I forgot to put them on there...surprised it got this far...:smalleek:

[Sallera]

DQs don't affect the rewards of the non-DQed gladiators, so you get the same as usual.

[theterran]

Alright, I have no purchases, but I reserve the right for reactionary buys.

[Scorer]

Well, seems we're rdy to go

[Mysterious_A]

Sanity has not yet declared purchases (or a lack thereof). Should we wait for him to do so?

[Scorer]

True, we should see what he says

[hustlertwo]

No, we shouldn't, because Sanity is disqualified!

Incidentally, going by his post history and what he said in this thread it looks like he's been having tough times, so good luck to him. I imagine he would have DQ'd himself if he'd remembered, looks like he did in other matches.

[Mysterious_A]

Think we can start.

Dartanil the Swashbuckler, Round 1

Refs/Los:

Start on Y-14, holding crossbow two-handed, rapier on belt, potion on belt, concentration tool in use and bolts handy.

If LoS to Mariachi is estabilished, speak: "I'll go south, you go north, and we'll catch 'er between us. Just whatever you do, watch out for her magic. There isn't enough of her last match to determine a style, but there are a lot of tricks she could pull. Anyway, once you've engaged I'll move in and help you flank, hopefully keeping her from running. Sound good?".

Whether LoS was estabilished or not round continues:

Double move hiding at -5 to P-19 (+5 negating the penalty once that square is achieved)

Hide: [roll0] (edit: well, with that terran still has to roll a 12 to spot, meaning chances are slightly on my favor. Of course drama almost requires that the villain catch Dartanil in the act, so that he can then heroically survive the villain's first attack, and then duke it out with him in an exciting fight, Dartanil winning said fight of course through sheer dumb luck as all good heroes do. So I guess the chances are about even?)

Swift action to activate Air Devotion.

I think that gives theterran a rewind to his turn then, correct?

Edit: We should get LoS either way though, I think, as Dartanil and Michelle don't yet have LoS.

[Scorer]

Yeah maybe, well, just FYI terran, Im mounting a 10x10x10 creature, so everyone sees me, and I see everyone.

[Mysterious_A]

Mariachi's turn, I believe.

[Scorer]

my readied action triggered with Michelle's actions, so it is your turn, then Mariachi

[Mysterious_A]

But that readied was from Round 1. Initiative goes Dartanil, Michelle and Mariachi. On Round 2 Dartanil went, then Michelle went and triggered a readied, but we're still missing Mariachi's 2nd turn, which comes after Michelle.

Or, at least, I think so...

[Sallera]

No, initiative isn't round-to-round, it's a single cycle. As soon as the readied action triggers, Mariachi's initiative count moves before Michelle's, making the next count Dartanil's.

[Mysterious_A]

Ohhh, well that's something I never learned on the 1x1 matches. One turn coming up. :smalltongue:

Dartanil, Round 3

Refs/Los:

Alright, looks like as good an opportunity as any to strike (she either used one move and a ready or two moves, if the first she could be either D-11 or C-11, if the second probably D-6). Either way I'll be prepared.

Free to transfer crossbow to mouth.

Yep, I'm down unless I'm missing something :smalleek:

[Sallera]

That would be touché in the Thurberian sense, I take it?

Hedge doesn't affect it, no; it's just concealment, not cover.

Currently in the shooting of a short film, will post till thrusday or friday. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Dartanil (does not hold up play, not that it matters with Scorer gone)

It's always miss low. And if your AC is 23, why didn't you take the 8 damage for Mariachi's Round 8 attack that was a roll of 23? Keep in mind if an attack roll equals the defender's AC, it is a hit.

Because he rolled 11 for the miss chance, which you just said would be a miss...am I missing something here?
