Uh, negative. I'd still like to discuss something pre-game with my teammate, sorry I've not been able to. Can I do so?
Fair enough, but to be honest, I don't know that you're saying anything so my actions won't change.

[Cadian 9th]

Ok thanks. RA and I are discussing as you read. Thanks again, we'll start as soon as possible.

Ok, I think we have everything worked out. I am ready to continue, if my partner is.

Veldryn:Blue is in H2. EV-9D9 is in L12.

Blue:Veldryn is in M13. EV-9D9 is in L12. Elsbeth is in O12. Elsbeth is also 75ft away, so your breath missed.

Elsbeth:EV-9D9 is in L12. Blue is in H2. Blue was out of range for the breath weapon, so that failed, but you still need a Fort save for the blinding.

EV-9D9:Elsbeth is in O12. Blue is in H2. Veldryn is in M13, and hits you for 14.

Elsbeth's turn.

[Dwalin]

Fort vs Blinding DC 13: +4

[Dwalin]

woops, that was stupid, lets try again.
Refs/LOS-

Fort vs Blinding DC 13: [roll0]

Waiting on result of a roll.

[Dwalin]

Alright, not sure what happened there. I guess time for one last attempt.

Refs/LOS-

Fort vs Blinding: DC13


Alright, now that I have that I can actually take my turn.

Refs/LOS-

Start of turn my casting of summon natures ally finishes, and I summon a wolf as high into the M column as possible (not sure about the three dimensional diagonals).

Realizing that I didn't mention the animal companion (medium viper) that I had or it's position or actions. Hoping that it is alright to simply claim it was in the starting area the whole time, let me know. If it has been, then I order it to attack blue, and so it double moves from Z13 to S12

My Wolf that is now summoned I order to attack blue as well, and so regardless of which particular square it ends up starting in, it is able to move to I3 and make an attack against blue.
Attack:[roll]1d20+8 (+4 strength and +3 attack from feats)
Damage: 1d6+3
Trip attempt if successful:1d20+6

I then take my turn and cast my second summon natures ally 1


Stats:

Position: O12
HP: 10/10
AC: 19 (+2 from pillar)
Spells: As sheet
Already Cast:
Summon Natures Ally 1 (currently casting second)
AnComp:
Position: S12
HP: 9
AC: 16
Summon 1:
Duration: round 1/4
HP: 17/17
AC: 14
Position: I3


Realized that the many screwed up initial posts meant that my rolls didn't go through, so I will do those again once it isn't a quadruple post (anyone know how many posts in a row before the system makes a fuss?)

[Cadian 9th]

Refs:

Wait, what? I calculated using pythag from the corner of H2 to the corner of O12, and it's less than 60ft. Am I wrong again?

[Sallera]

Blue:Well, D&D calculates distance by squares, not using Pythagorean methods. While yes, even by that method, you could reach from the near corner of H2 to the near corner of O12, it would have to reach the far corner to actually hit, since a line effect must pass through a square to affect it. But you don't even get that far once you take into account the 20ft of vertical distance.

[Dwalin]

Rolls for most recent turn:

Wolf:
Attack:[roll0] (+4 strength and +3 attack from feats)
Damage: [roll1]
Trip attempt if successful:[roll2]


And with that my turn is officially over.

[Cadian 9th]

Refs:

Woah, ok. Next time can I just ask a ref if I'm in range? I seem to screw this up alot...


Nothing to hold play.

[Sallera]

Blue:Aye, you're free to ask about things like distance and cover if you need to.

[Cadian 9th]

Refs

Sorry, but did Dwalin's AC go through and attack me? Because I'd like to revise my last turn if I was under threat from that. :smallbiggrin:

Otherwise I'd like to know if I'm in range to hit Dwalin, his summoned thing and his AC in one/multiple lines.

[Sallera]

Blue:No, the AC is not currently in your LoS. The wolf she summoned did attack you from I3, but that happened after your turn.

Currently, you are only in range of the wolf (that you know of), since you haven't moved since your last turn.

[Cadian 9th]

Okay:

Blue, R3

Just a quick query:

Refs:

Is J5, 6, or 7 close enough to hit Elspeth?

[Sallera]

Blue:All three are in range.

[Cadian 9th]

Blue, R3

Thanks.

Refs:

Wait, so is I4 in range?

[Sallera]

Blue:No, just short.

[Cadian 9th]

Kay

Blue, R3

Refs/Los:

Move around the wolf to J5, provoking an AOO. Opposed Trip if neccesasry [roll0]


Elspeth gets an interupt, then I'll end my turn.

Refs/LoS

Is J7 in range of L12?


Ref Question. I can't work out distance... :smallredface:

Blue:It is.

[Cadian 9th]

Thank you Sallera :smallsmile:

It goes off before I drop my stance and my shield so it's a miss.

So you all know, I moved and didn't have internet for longer than anticipated. I think it was the right call on the DQ. Enjoy the rest of the match.

Anything other than one, and I'm out.

Good game, but those damned stairs got me.

[Cadian 9th]

Blue

" I feel... Victorious. " She says, lamely. Packing off, she goes and sits next to Veldryn, helping the half-drow to consciousness.

Ya, good game. To be honest I have no idea how I would've won this match... This build is really kinda meh. :smallsigh:

[RandomAction]

Well at least I did some damage before I fell. Though, flashing like I did made me feel a little dirty, but thankfully no-one could see me after I done it. :smallwink:

Better summon a ref to declare victory.

Looking into our next match, unless Candycorn can pull off a 2-on-1 win we will be fighting Lyir and Anisimovna. Tactics chat?

[Cadian 9th]

Beyond hoping they can't afford a resist energy potion? :smallsigh:

Lots of scrolls of magic missile for me. Alternatively, I stand in front of you and absorb the hits while you put your better dex modifier, full base attack and lack of shaky to good use with some damage bolts.

[RandomAction]

Looking over thier sheets and round purchases, Lyir is the only one with any cash to spend. What I am trying to figure out is a way around Candy's ranged touch spell.

[Cadian 9th]

Could he buy a scroll and a potion? That would cover them. For candycorns spell, we could use a wagon/carriage for comedic value. It would make us very hard to hit.

Nerveskitter on me + high ini with move then Los? Could hit both before they get the resistance effect.

Furthermore, I might go for dragonborn, unlearning draconic something and taking a different feat to suprise them. Wild cohort might be useful, or some incarnum abilities.

[Sallera]

High Ref Sallera

Blue and Veldryn claim victory by virtue of not succumbing to terrain features.

[candycorn]

I wouldn't count me out just yet, Cadian. I do intend to give my current opponents a good fight. :)

It wouldn't be the first time I pulled off a 2 on 1. :smallbiggrin:
