[Morbius]

here goes init
[roll0]

refs only

Spells:
Shield of faith, magic weapon (domain), Entropic Shield

[KCiemir]

Init[roll0]

So I will just be buying 10 more crossbow bolts. If you have reactive buying to that, go for it.

[KCiemir]

I'll Just start, because nothing you buy will change my actions.


Start in N26, with knotted rope in hand, but crossbow loaded. Attempt to [roll0] (DC: 14) to attach the hook to the top of the wall in O26. Assuming that is successful, attempt to accelerated climb [roll1] (DC: 0). Attempt to hide and move silently through all of this, just in case.
[roll2] (-5 included)
[roll3]

If any of those rolls are unsuccessful, I will edit this post


Not quite done, need to see teh results of rolls.

[Morbius]

I am going to assume that you are doing the same thing you did last match and that you forgot to remove the Not quite done part.
Anyway no matter what you do, it won't change my actions so I am posting them now

Morbius 2nd to act - round 3

Morbius casts shield of faith and uses a swift action to activate hawk's flight(animal devotion) spending 3 turn attempts. Then he uses a move action to move up 10 feet and looks for Drex (Morbius is still behind the doors, but if Drex is on the walls he should be able to see him now, I think)

[SamTheCleric]

@Morbius:

The doors height actually match the adjacent walls, putting them at 20'. I forgot to put that on the map itself, but I mentioned it elsewhere. For now, no line of sight.

@KC
No line of sight, his doors still closed.

[Morbius]

SamTheCleric and other refs

Morbius is now enlarged, he is 10 feet high, by moving exactly 10 feet more his head will be on the same height as the doors (20 feet) so he could try to peek what is on the wall, also the doors will grant Morbius cover if Drex is on the walls, so he will also need to make a spot check to see Morbius

[SamTheCleric]

@Morbius:
Oops. I didn't see that you were enlarged, my apologies. As you raise your head over the doorway, you can see him alllll the way over on the other side of map on top of the wall, in O24

@Drex Milo
Scratch that last line of sight... you see a very big head poke up above the door across the battlefield. You may take your readied action to fire at it.

@Refs
As there is no cover or concealment between them, their hide checks are negligible.

[KCiemir]

OK- readied attack:

[roll0]
[roll1]

lets see how that goes

EDIT: damn, I rolled a 3.

[Morbius]

FYI it's still your turn, that was the end of my move.

I made a question in the waiting room and shall post my move as soon as I have an answer, I need to know if concealment and the entropic shield spell stack (causing you to roll for concealmdent twice) or if entropic shield is considered concealment and thus does not stack.

Anyway on any attack you make from now on you will need to roll for concealment so have fun :smallbiggrin:

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

Entropic Shield is concealment. They don't stack.

[Morbius]

Morbius 2nd to act - round 4

swift action to allocate essentia into rageclaws

Morbius moves up another 10 feet (20 ft move) and you now realize that he is way taller than he was before, a real giant. Then he continues to fly to Q/R 7/8(more 40 feet move) remaining 20 feet above the ground

Reactive rolls:




PS2: The non-combatant flaw doesn't apply to grapple checks? The SRD at least says that "A grapple check is like a melee attack roll."

PS3: Please don't forfeit this match until the end.

EDIT: Ok... I am starting to think that there is really something wrong with these dice ¬¬

[KCiemir]

Before I make my move, I need to know if you are wielding a weapon.

[Morbius]

I didn't mention? My bad, Morbius is wielding a greataxe and is enlarged, so he also has a 10 feet reach.

EDIT: Ack, I don't believe I missed this:

"First, you must move to the closest space from which you can attack the opponent"

So due to reach my move was illegal, if you agree let's just say that Morbius is on P/Q 21/22

[KCiemir]

That rules correction is fine.

Five foot step back to O25

Reactive rolls:



EDIT: Man, I get a max grapple and damage result but don't hit you.

[KCiemir]

Before my action, I need an answer from the refs:

Because he is, by his own admission, still floating, does he count as occupying the spaces that I would need to move thought? I guess my question really boils down to:
to move by him, would the tumble check be 15 or 25?

[The_Chilli_God]

Chilli Mod: Heh heh heh...

Drex He doesn't count as occupying your space, no, but he would count as threatening it, so the base DC for tumbling is 15.

[Morbius]

"Chilli Mod: Heh heh heh..."

I am not liking that...

[KCiemir]

Well, I will move to S26, attempting to tumble. I will then reload my crossbow as a second move action.

[roll0] DC 15

FYI, the question was about the DC for the check, you can look now if you want.

EDIT: and with the successful tumble check, it is your turn.

Stats
AC:19
HP:7/7
Current Buffs: none

[Morbius]

I think you made a mistake, from the SRD:

Tumble

DC 25
"Tumble at one-half speed through an area occupied by an enemy (over, under, or around the opponent) as part of normal movement, provoking no attacks of opportunity while doing so. Failure means you stop before entering the enemy-occupied area and provoke an attack of opportunity from that enemy"

that 21 means I get an AOO

[roll0] 3 str +0 size + 1 ape str + 3 law + 1 weapon focus
[roll1]

EDIT: Now I need to know where you ended (O26 probably) and if you really are going to reload as your second move action

[SamTheCleric]

High Ref Sam

As you are currently floating 20' in the air and he is on the ground, he is not tumbling through the area you occupy, merely going under you. The DC would be 15 for that, as you still threaten that area but are not occupying it.

[Morbius]

But he is not on the ground, he is on the wall, 20 feet above the ground, the same as me, so he has to move by my squares.

Another thing I don't think he added PBS on his last attack on me.


And to make this a greater mess I discovered that overland flight is not fly. So a couple of my moves were illegal and I am not hovering, I am likely squezzing on the wall. Thankfully I don't think a rewind is needed as it would hardly change anything back :P

[SamTheCleric]

Sam the High Ref

Based on your previous location information, you stated you were Floating 20' above Q/R 25/26. KC asked a question regarding the tumble DC based on your locale... seeing as you intended to be ground level (which is 20' up from the ground, which is where the confusion comes in), the DC would have been 25.

I would say that KC can change his action, seeing as he made it on false pretenses.

That ok with you?

[Morbius]

Yeah, I have no problem with that, I just really don't understand why all the confusion

[The_Chilli_God]

Oh, this was my fault. I thought the wall was only 10 feet high.

My bad. :smallredface:

[SamTheCleric]

High Ref Sam

KCMier is currently away, but when he returns we can rewind to just before the tumble.

[Talic]

Ref Talic

Morbius wins, by virtue of attendance!

Talic is defeated, by being too hasty with match calling!

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

Ignore Talic's premature calling of the match. Carry on.

[KCiemir]

Hey, I'm back. Let me review the discussion on the tumble, and re-think my actions. I'll post soon tonight.

[KCiemir]

Alright, lets take a gamble...

reload and attack defensively. If your AoO doesn't kill me,

[roll0]
[roll1]

and, if Im not dead, it will be your go

Wow... that was a hit... and a painful one but Morbius is still in one piece, I take you don't have Magic of Incarnum right?, Because no, Morbius is not dead... yet. Because that little soulmeld "rage claws" kind of gives him an extra 10 HP, and another 3 for each point of essentia I use on it, as any azurim starts with at least 1 point of essentia, Morbius started the match with 22 HP :smallbiggrin:


Morbius 2nd to act - round 9

Morbius' face shows much pain as a bolt pierces his chest, and a lot of blood spills as Morbius takes the bolt out, but despise his wounds and to your surprise instead of dying he flies over the large doors out of your view, taking your rope and grappling hook with him. A moment later you hear him landing on the other side of the door and casting a spell.

Morbius flies to M/N 22/23 and glides down to the floor (25 feet move) and drops the grappling hook, then he spend his magic weapon slot to cast Cure Light Wounds on himself

OK... i will post this up just to speed things up chile said that it is possible but I know Kyuedo has already ruled about this on another match, I just don't remember what he said.

The idea is that if he can pick up an object on your square this is a disarm attempt and he will pick your x-bow from the floor, if not this is a sunder attempt ><
