Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
Alright, if there's going to be a surprise it'll probably be now. With Leila gone, any traitor or assassin won't get a better chance. God, please let Lucas come up here for some reason. I could use help if there's a trap.

Lucas
"Uh huh. I see that The Big Fight is coming! Okay, I need to find a place in the audience, so I don't miss the moment when Leila wipes the floor with you.
... Man, I would really like to have a camera here..."
He says to Zachary when he hears the news... and yes, he is making fun of him...
To Lee "Well, in our world it's like a place from our time sent few hundreds years into the past... now sorry, but my friend has a fight and I wouldn't like to miss it, so I guess we will continue this conversation another time..." He says and turns to walk away, but stops after few steps to add "Could you tell Mori about the fight? He wouldn't like to miss it."
After saying all of this he walks towards arena and tries to find a free place to sit and notices Danil.
"Hello m'lord, wanna share comments on the big fight with an old friend?" He asks with a wide smile on his face.

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"Lord be praised! I was hoping you'd come up!" (whispers) "I'm afraid someone will try to assassinate the princess while Leila's sparring with Zach, so be ready to act fast if something does happen. Can you do anything with your awesome brain to help in battle?"

"Umm... Don't you think you are acting just a little bit paranoid?
... That and, you know, in every setting the rulers are quite high level NPC, usually with PC classes... In other words, if her guards couldn't do anything, we would be too weak too..." He says, first in reassuring voice, later matter-of-factly.

"It's clear that at least some of my fellow nobles are backstabbing snakes, some of them hinted at things during brunch, I have no memory, and the princess's best bodyguard is missing. This seems like a textbook time for Improved Paranoia. Plus, I've got nothing better to do. And we're the heroes, so saving the day is our job."

"Ahh, we are heroes now. I see. Okay then. Just tell me when the assassination- saving part starts and I will unleash all my power upon the ones who dare to interrupt my chance to see a girl... sorry a lady, handing Zachary his own ass..." He answers with only a slightest hint of irony... but tells Loiosh to observe the Princess just in case...

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
Well this isn't good. Okay John damage control time.
Mana listen, I know I've been acting strange lately and I know you want an explinatition but just trust me for now and I'll explain everything when we get hack to the guild. It just not something I want to discuss in such a crowded place.
There. That should buy me a few hours to come up with a reason. And if I can't then hell I'll tell her the truth Insane Asylums can't be that bad can they?

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
Most of the fights have already passed. You're given some basic reminders of the rules.
(All damage is non-lethal, you take a -4 to your attacks due to attempting to do non-lethal damage).
Leila stands on the other side of the arena, the crowd cheers and the stadium is fairly packed. Out of the correct of your eyes you see signs made with illusion magic supporting your both.
Leila readies her defensive pose.
"Do your worst" She taunts you.
You get to go first.

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"This is going to be a long fight. Leila is able to take a ton of damage, and she's slow to injure her opponents. It's what makes her such a good bodyguard, she can block off a doorway and no one can break through her...except for Aisha obviously."
He gives you what looks like a cheap ale, but judging from the smell, "Strong" is the proper word to describe it.Last edited by Morithias; 2012-11-13 at 05:36 PM.

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
Zachary studies his opponent before the match begins, his eyes glowing a faint silver....
When the match is sounded Zachary crosses his arms defensivy and mutters in Draconic weaving arcane protections around himself... His silvered Greatsword is held at the ready...
Let's hope I didn't show her all my tricks yesterday....err...

As we are waiting I'm detecting magic on her... How is she equipped?

Rupert
He smelled the liquor cautiously then he took a sip...
"COUGH COUGH... Holy dwarf in a barrel, that's something"
He drank the remaining ale in a single long gulp, almost suffocating himself for the fire in his throat, then sprawled himself in a chair, yes he was making a scene, but at the moment it didn't mattered too muck.

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
You pass your save.
The bartender laughs. "Skullwhomper ale is the strongest stuff there is, it was invented by a dragon. So that should tell you about it's kick right there. It's free ale though, the dragon just gives the stuff away, apparently he invents stuff for fun."

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
Zachary eyes the bulwark of a girl and looks to penetrate her defenses, he moves in slowly at first, then it clicks... And Zachary charges bringing his mighty Greatsword to bear with all his might, infuses with his innate arcane strength...but not against her, against her long sword...
It's not magical and I've got a two handed weapon... Here goes nothing!
Spoiler
I take an AoO. I have AC22(20 on the Charge)
Charging Sunder(d20+13)[29] vs her CMD(10+BAB+StrMod+DexMod(Limited by armor))
Damage(2d6+10)[16] vs Longsword (Hardness 10, HP 5)
Edit: Barring anything crazy, that should win the fight, or at least make it easier!

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
You shatter her sword. She looks at you shocked. "Well that's painful, but I don't need the sword to beat you!"
She gets into a fighting defensive pose and attempts to punch you. Due to her using gauntlet she is considered armed so no AOO.

(1d3+2)[3]
Edit: I forgot the -4 for fighting defensively. That should be 14 not 18

Poor girl, needs a 20 to hit me when she is fighting defensively.
And a miss at minimum damage....this could take a while. Good thing I have 28 rounds of shield left!

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
Zachary keeps fighting, trying to penetrate the bulwark of an opponent... But again, her defenses are too strong..

Can we just roll multiple rounds at once?

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
After this next round will we start to roll 3 rounds at a time.
(1d20)[15]
Her defensive style is slowly draining your energy.
Make two fortitude saves, both DC 15.
If you fail the first, you are fatigued until the end of the fight.
If you fail the second you take 1d6 non-lethal damage.
Edit: From now on her style no longer relies on you being hit.
Every round the second fortitude save (to resist 1d6 damage) increases by one.
Once you fail the fatigued roll, once 3 more rounds pass, start making a DC 15 rolls as exhaustion.
To drain you she doesn't even need to hit you. Just start rolling saves and try to take her down before you collapse.Last edited by Morithias; 2012-11-13 at 09:42 PM.

(9d20)[14][6][5][13][15][16][4][10][8](91)
(9d3)[3][1][1][2][2][3][3][1][3](19)
Edit: no hits for the next 9 rounds.
Remember
Fort save DC 15 every round against fatigue until fails, 3 rounds after fails roll DC 15 for exhausted.
Every round she attacks you roll a fortitude save versus 1d6 non-lethal damage, the save goes up by 1 every round.Last edited by Morithias; 2012-11-13 at 09:46 PM.

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"HEY!" Leila yells at you. "This isn't about you or me, it's about the princess!"
She turns towards the noble box, and sighs. "I'm going to be in so much trouble..."
You pass someone on the way out then she runs into the arena. It's a young woman who seems to be a monk. "Leila! I will face you!"
The crowd looks shocked.
The two of them then proceed to take over for the fight.
You're met by your squire. "But...why sir?"
