Arena Tournament, Round 35: Krux vs. Bobo

Map:http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z123/TheChilliGod/Giantitp/Arena4ii.gif

Extra notes: Houses are on average 20 feet high (just use that average figure all over the house), hay piles are up to 10 feet high against the walls. And, I don't care whether you're immune to sanctuary effects, you are not immune to the arena's sanctuary effect. Creatures summoned during the 1st round are also affected by the sanctuary effect.

XP Award: 300 XP

All Combatants, please roll initiative.

[Talic]

Checking in.

Initiative: [roll0]

I'll be buying 4 little thingies of Sleep-smoke. That should be it for my purchases. If you buy anything really crazy, I may have a response purchase though.

When we do start this thing, I'll be in C10. My elemental, Gail, will be in D11.

[Tortoise262]

Initiative: [roll0]
Hm, I tought additional purchases could be kept secret. At any rate, I spent most of my money on a brand-spankin' new lance!

EDIT: Water Orc?! What a cheap race!

[Talic]

Believe me, if we could keep purchases secret, I'd be keeping my sleep-smoke secret. All purchases must be announced if they are made after the creation of the match thread.

That said, shouldn't matter too much. Please announce your starting Location, and I'll be happy to begin. :) I assume mounted, in all 4 squares?

[Talic]

This is assuming you are in all 4 starting squares, and mounted. If you are not, this move will need to be redone.

I still can't believe I won initiative.

Round 1 Part 1

I start in C10, with my club in hand, and that's it.
Gail starts in D11, with 2 flasks in hand.

Free: Speak (Auran)Just like practice. Get him if move.
Move: I move north, to C7.
Standard: I ready an action: Move if my opponent moves

Gail's actions:
Move: Forward to U12.
Standard: Ready an action.Throw sleep-smoke if opponent moves.

Your turn.

[Talic]

Your movement triggers both my and my elemental's readied actions.

My action: Move. I run up the wall to my north (using my Up the Walls feat), and, after reaching the top of the building, continue across the roof to H6.

My elemental's action. Throw sleep-smoke. Aimed at the intersection between U10-V11. Attack roll, vs AC5. [roll0]

Assuming it hits, it will expand to cover U10-V11.

You will then continue your action, which must include the 5 foot movement into the smoke. When you do, both you and your horse will need to make DC15 Fort saves.

Now, both of you have a +6 fort save, which means a good chance of passing. But chances aren't good of both of you passing.

[Tortoise262]

Krux: [roll0]
Horse: [roll1]

[Talic]

Nice. Now, for my:

Round 2, Part 1

Move: Back to F7, then 20 feet forward to the east edge of the building, Jumping to the next building. (+8 for high movement)
[roll0]
Finishing move at N6, atop the building.
Move: Draw a flask.

Elemental's Action:
Move: North to U9. Using Flyby attack feat:
Standard: Throw sleep-smoke at your intersection (P8-Q9). 20 feet range, -2 to hit. Vs. Square AC of 5.
[roll1]
If it hits, another save for you and your mount.
Move (continued): North, and up, ending move atop building at U5.

End turn.

Stats:
Location: N6
AC: 14, Touch 12, FF 12
HP: 10/10
Status effects: Psionically Focused.
In hand: Club, flask of sleep-smoke

Gail:
Location:
AC: 17, Touch 14, FF 14
HP: 9/9
In hand: Nothing.

Opponent status effects, given by me: Poisoned, 2nd save, round 11, possibly poisoned, 2nd save, round 12

Provided I didn't trigger your ready action, it's your turn, after making the saves.

Smoke at U10-V11 expands out 5 feet on all sides, to occupy T9-W12 (corners excluded).

[Tortoise262]

Krux: [roll0]
Horse: [roll1]

Question: Does either of you have cover relative to me.

[Talic]

Nah, other than the 20 feet up thing, we're pretty well open targets.

[Tortoise262]

Move Action sheathe lance, combine with draw spear
Attack throw spear at Bobo
Attack Roll: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

EDIT: oops, that should be -2 on the attack... still missed!
EDIT2: You may go.

Round 3, Part 1

Crap, that thing woulda dropped me in one hit. I'm getting careless.

From my position in N6, Move west taking my running jump again, moving west.
Jump: [roll0]
Should auto succeed. Finish move at G5, drop out of sight as I go prone.
Rest of actions:I ready an action: stand up if opponent gets atop a building.

Gail's actions:
Move to: L10, Altitude +90 feet from ground level.
Gail readies an action:
Move if opponent is about to break LOS
End turn.

On my action, gas in P8-Q9 expands to O7-R10 (corners excluded). If you're still in the area of the gas, you need to make DC 15 fort saves for you and mount again. Gas in T9-W12 (corners excluded) dissipates harmlessly.

I intend to maintain this position until the end of round 13, unless my elemental reports you've fallen asleep, when you and your horse must make 3 more saves versus the sleep smoke poison (one on round 11, one on round 12, and one on round 13). I have a readied action for if you manage to make it up to where I'm at. If you do, actions from that point on will change. If not, go ahead and take actions for rounds 3-13.

Gail's gonna have a continuous readied action to move if you break LOS. All she'll be doing is moving to keep LOS of you. Whenever you attempt to break LOS, she'll move to the square you're about to enter, at altitude 90 ft. If Gail doesn't have LOS to you at the end of any turn, I'll manually control her movement in the following turn. Otherwise, go right ahead.

[Tortoise262]

First thing's first (Will saves):
Krux: [roll0]
Horse: [roll1]

[Talic]

Hmm. Based on military saddle, you've got a 75% chance to stay in saddle. Go ahead and roll that. If you stay in, you're asleep for 1 minute. Falling will, unfortunately, wake you with 1d6 damage.

[Tortoise262]

Rolling d%: [roll0]

[Talic]

Still in saddle, then. Per mounted combat sections, if a rider's unconscious, the mount will attempt to avoid any threats. Thus, I'll keep nice and far away until he has to make saves.

You're asleep for 10 rounds, which means you'll wake up at the start of your round 13. Make horse movements as you like, until round 10.

[Tortoise262]

What kind of actions am I limited to? I can't very well control the horse, can I?

[Talic]

Nah, but it's your horse. As I'm out of range of any offensive action, any movement is as likely as any other. Do what you like with the horse, within reason.

Actually, tell ya what. Let's handle this round by round, I have a different way I wanna take this. It's round 3, your move, move horse as you like. I'll perform actions in round 4.

EDIT: Just to reiterate, you do control your mount. It's been ruled that as long as a player controls his mount by the rules (mounts that are not guided by riders avoid combat), there's no reason not to allow the player to continue to control it.

REFS: Please start the 2 day countdown for my opponent from the date this post was edited.

[Talic]

Still your turn. Posting this in case you've got it subscribed.

ref chilepepper

I can officially vouch for that. It was Kyeudo's ruling. The mount must avoid combat, but can't actually leave the arena unless it can somehow open a door. So long as you follow those guidelines, move the mount as you wish.

[Tortoise262]

Double Move to J17-K18... I'm assuming your elemental maintains LOS the whole time.

EDIT: Oops, that's only one move... I'll end on O18-P19

[Talic]

KK.

[Talic]

Provided you don't wish to move your mount any more, my following action will be:

[Provisional Round 5)
My movement:Double move to O14

Elemental will stay in location and maintain the same readied action as in the previous round.

That will be my next turn, if you have no movement. If you do, I'll amend this as necessary.
