Here's my initiative.

Fire Fox - Round 1

@Refs
Starting in P21 with a scroll in my hand.
I will cast Mage Armor from the Scroll...drop the Scroll...
Then I will move to R17.

[roll0]
[roll1]

Good to see you...

Mr Underhill - Round 1

Start in K6, mounted on my dog, move to I6 guiding it with my knees (it succeeds automatically since I have a +5 at my ride check...). I have a sling in my hands.

Not done, need LOS.

[Bronz]

High Ref Bronz

@Underhill

No LoS


@Firefox

No LoS

[Bayar]

Fine...will continue with my actions...
IF he does not come through the left side, I think he will from the right. If he will play similarly to me when I played BAM, he will choose the fastest way to get to the top of the map, moving from tree to tree for bonuses. Also, because he has 2 scrolls for AC boost, I think he will try to cast those before reaching my location...think he will start with Mage armor because it has a high duration and shield probably near the end of cover from the barn...

He will probably not enter the cursed barn of doom, because of A) his hide skill has only +2 and B) because he probably thinks I will not enter it anyway.

he needs to get near me...25 feet is enough to fire off his Scorching ray, and if I survive that somehow, his lesser orb of fire...I know because I use the LOoF.

In conclusion, my dog will continue his move action from I6 to L6 and stop there. I will cast entangle so that it will take effect on the area R1-Z7. The spell has a spread of 40 Feet in every direction from the grid intersection, so it means the intersection of Y(-1) - Z0.

Your turn, unless the refs have any objections to what I stated above...

[theterran]

Might want to spoiler that better bayar.

I will stick to my plan...regardless of what I read there...:smallcool:

[Bayar]

OMFG !!! I just saw that....JC that sucks...

You actually read all of it ?

[theterran]

I skimmed it...until I realized it was supposed to be spoilered.
:smallfrown:

[Bayar]

ah well...hopefully I will be able to survive this round...

[theterran]

Your turn, unless the refs have any objections to what I stated above...

So do we need a ref for this? Or can I take my Turn?

[Bayar]

Meh, it was only a minor thing...think that there will be no objections...take your turn...

[theterran]

LoS is barely (as in I had to use a ruler) established between the corners of P6 (where there is a hobbit on a dog) and T12 (where there is an elf).

Terran, you may change your actions if you want.

And that will of course trigger Bayar's readied action. He may post the results.

Nevermind. You're just outside the range of his readied action. Man, thats horrible.

[Bayar]

Ouch...so...ummm...how much HP do I have...11?

[roll0] against DC 15...

Umm...dont you have to make a toch attack ? roll for it ?

K, so I take ...umm...8 damage ? I will live it...

You OTOH...
Move eastwards breaking LOS.

Double-move to I10

[theterran]

Nope...it's like Magic Missiles...accept there's a reflex save for half...which I see you made.

You're up.

[theterran]

What's an OTOH?
Didn't realize you took your move in that post...

Fire Fox - Round 4

@Refs
Move to X5. If there's no LoS, I'll cast Shield from the Scroll in hand.

If I see him and he's within 30 feet, I'll use Fiery Burst.
[roll0]

If I see him and he's over 30 feet away, I'll use my other Kelgore's Firebolt.

@theterran:
No LoS

[theterran]

Alright...Frodo...I mean...Mr. Underhill is up :smallwink:

[Bayar]

Just wonder if he followed me into the entangled area...

Mr. Underhill - Round 4

Hmm...double-move to C5

[theterran]

My turn?

10 characters...what a pain

[Bayar]

Yeah, but LOS first...

[Talic]

Initiate Ref Talic

LOS is established, between Fire Fox in X5 and Mr Underhill in G8, moving Northeast.

Bayar, you may recalculate the remainder of your move turn from that point if you wish. Otherwise, it is Firefox's turn.

[Bayar]

Ah, Firefox, I belive you have to roll against entanglement in the area of R1-Z7...go for it...then I will take the rest of my action...

[theterran]

If that's the case, I might not be in X5, but in Y7 (where I first crossed into the entangled area)...and even if I make the Ref Save, I couldn't have made it to X5 because of the moving at half speed thing...:smallannoyed:

Reflex Save - [roll0] vs DC ??


So where does this place me now?

(edit)I could only make it to Y6 if I kept moving, and I don't think I would.

[Talic]

Initiate Ref Talic

Hold please, I'll get a higher ref to rule it.

[Mavian]

High Ref Mav: Its common sense really


When Terran hit the edge of the entangled area, it would allow him to redo his movements after that point, so he could be where ever he wants to be.

[Talic]

Initiate Ref Talic
Reverse all actions after theterran's move in Round 4.

@theterran:

The entangle spell has a 40' radius. Thus, the only possible placement for spell center that comes close to meeting the area parameters given (R1-Z7) is Z1, NE corner. This places the actual effect of the spell at R1-Z8, and any square within 40' of this location is affected. This includes Y8.

You successfully saved vs. Entangle upon entering square Y8. Play continues from this point. Please finish the remainder of your turn.

Note: Even on a successful save, Entangle limits you to half movement. Thus, any move from your current square will cost 10' of movement.

This places the actual effect of the spell at R1-Z8, and any square within 40' of this location is affected. This is for your records. Your current location is I10.


LoS is not established. It is currently Theterran's turn.

[theterran]

Fire Fox - Round 4 (redux)

@refs
With the successful save, I'll move out of the entangled area back to Y8 and there I will cast shield from the scroll in hand.

End my Turn.

I would imagine there's no LoS so you're up.

[Bayar]

:smallsigh: hold up a bit...still thinking what move to take...
K.

The BAM - Round 5...i think

The mount double-moves to K21. I ready an action to start casting Summon nature's ally in P21 if LOS is established, or if I hear anything...

Also, could have sworn that I drank a potion of CLW...but cant find where...ah well...

Fire Fox - Round 5

@refs
Double move to X19.

End my Turn.

[Paladin Latham]

LoS is established between Mr. Underhill in K21 and Fire Fox in X19. This triggers a readied action by Bayar and something appears in P21 (Bayar has to choose what)

[theterran]

Bayar mislabeled his previous round as 5 when it was 4.

So he readied an action during his round 4, that takes place during my round 5.

So he takes his readied action.

Then it should be his turn first at the top of round 6...is that right?

[Bayar]

Hmm...so it was round 4...so...how will we settle this redux things...I maintain my readied action in round 5, you trigger it in your round 5 and I finish it in round 6...fine with refs?

Wolfachu, I choose you!

[theterran]

My Round 5 happens first though...

So I would be in X19 at the beginning of your turn in Round 5.

If you readied that action in Round 4 as well, then it would trigger in round 5, but if you readied it in Round 5, it would go off right away.

I'll differ to the refs though.

[Bayar]

yes, I readied it in round 4, and was gonna maintain it ready in round 5, so yeah, it triggered, so something is going to happen in my round 5...as I finish casting a spell...

[Talic]

Initiate Ref Talic

Firefox is ahead in the initiative count over The BAMMr Underhill. Thus, in post 36, The BAMMr Underhill's action was actually the end of round 4.

Firefox then took her round 5, and triggered The BAMMr Underhill's readied action in Round 4. The BAMMr Underhill took a standard action to begin casting a full round spell, and her initiative changed to just above Firefox. Thus, this is the end of round 5.

Start of Round 6, The BAMMr Underhill finishes his casting. Select options that need to be selected for the spell you cast, determine the targeted square for the spell's affect, and continue from there. You've spent a standard action to complete the spell, so you have a move action remaining.

Play proceeds from that point. After The BAMMr Underhill finishes, it will be Firefox's turn at the end of round 6.

Edit: get caught up in the crunch, mistype the name. Corrected.

[theterran]

Just as an FYI...I'm facing Mr. Underhill...not TheBAM :smallwink:

[Bayar]

Ok, so I will designate my place and thing to affect...

Mr. Underhill - Real round 5

Finishing casting his spell, a wolf appears in P21. It will charge you...in X20.

It will attack you and deal damage, if it hits that is...but I dont have my books with me because I am at school...

Not done...

[theterran]

@refs
When the wolf attacks me, as an Immediate action, I will Abrupt Jaunt to V19.

[Bayar]

Ok, so I know the wolf's stats now...

Attack: [roll0]
Damage:[roll1]

Hopefully it will bite you hard...

I will dismount in K21.

And my mount will go to W19.

edit: damn roller hates me...

[Talic]

Initiate Ref Talic

The wolf's attack prompts an immediate action by Fire Fox. She disappears from X19, and appears in V19. Mr Underhill, you may modify any actions after the wolf's attack, if you like.

[Bayar]

The wolf sucks...but the riding dog, that is in W19 gets an AOO, i think, for leaving a threaten square and appearing in another threatened square...I think...

[theterran]

Moving into a threatened square does not provoke AoO, just moving out.

And technically, I'm not moving...more like teleporting.

(edit) but I see what you're saying...

[Mavian]

Abrupt Jaunt does not provoke AoOs for leaving the threatened square, nor entering a threatened square. Also, your dog would not be in W19 until after Fire Fox had teleported.

[Bayar]

Ah, K...end my turn.

[theterran]

Fire Fox - Round 6?

5ft Step to U20.
Standard Action: Cast Kelgore's Firebolt at Mr. Underhill.

[roll0] Reflex Halves DC 15.

Move Action: Draw my Xbow.

End my Turn.

First off...can you hit me from that square?

Second...****...************...damn...

Third: Ah what the hell: [roll0]

Fourth: That spell should be banned...5d6 damage at 1st level without an attack roll/without concealment miss chance is utterly broken.

Fifth, even if I die, the dog will still attack you.
5ft step near you and attack.
Attack: [roll1]
Damage:[roll2]

[theterran]

The spell is actually only 1d6 + 1d6 for each CL, and I have a +4 CL for that spell...well more than just that spell...

Oh, and the dog misses.

[Mavian]

High Ref Mav: Blow his whistle to end the match

Fire Fox is declared the winner and receives the prizes mentioned previously

[Bayar]

Wait, I was not on the riding dog, What range does that thing have ?

[theterran]

Kelgore's Firebolt has a range of 100ft.

[Bayar]

****...good build...
