Sheesh, two opponents now with insanely high touch AC's. This makes the grapple beatdown hard.

Touch AC and DR baby, your Elementals shouldn't be a problem :smallcool:

Shuriken: 18

[Talic]

I'll assume you meant Y14, as I'm in B14... Well, that and the total distance between B14 and Q14 is roughly 85 feet, compared to the 40 you moved now. After reviewing your last match, I'm relatively sure of how you're getting that bonus, at least. As for not being able to touch you? All they need to do is hold you still while I beat you from outside the grapple. Heh.

Opponent in Q14.

Round 1, part 2

My actions (this spoiler readable by you, once you let me know what I can see in your hands):

Start in B14. In hand: Buckler and water flask in one hand. Other hand, water Flask.
Standard: Pour out some water, creating an elemental in C15.
Free: Speak (Aquan)Follow me, we're biding time. Stay between me and him.Free: Drop empty waterskin.
Swift: Activate a devotion. TravelMove: From B14 to B21, by way of A15.

Elemental 1:
Move: From C15 to C19.
Standard: Ready an action.Move, if opponent approaches to a distance of 20 feet or less from Aquamanny. (I'll probably keep this readied action for the next several turns, while I evade my opponent and do my thing.)

Turn is done. If you're anything like my last opponent, you just wasted a ready action on the hope that I'm brave and like entering within range of your sharp pokey things.

EDIT: Well, poop. I was guessin' you had shuriken. Ah well, let's see how it goes. That probably wasn't a readied action to attack then. Grr.

Stats:Me:My Location: B21.
In hand: One waterskin (same arm as buckler).

Attack: [roll0] I believe its a -8 for range, to be added
Damage: 1+[roll1]

[Talic]

May I get precisely when the readied action was triggered, and you interrupted my move?

[Mavian]

My readied action was triggered by your elementals move. Which was at the end of your turn.

[Talic]

Fair enough.

Aquamanny, Round 2. . . Well, the -8 penalty will make that miss, but I'm not especially brave...

My actions: (in B21)

Now, let's see. You can't draw shurikens as part of a readied action, so you've likely not got an attack action readied. Well, Bull Rush, but I fail to see how a non-ToB halfling can gain a thing from THAT attack. So, you're moving somewhere. And you've got a trigger either for being attacked, proximity, or me casting... Let's try to narrow that down.

Aquamanny, Round 6.

"Go to the Justice League and tell them. Oh right, you don't have a key."

My action:
Standard: Use Nobility Domain's Granted power. Begin speaking morale-ish words of encouragement in Aquan.
Swift: Activate a Devotion. Protection Devotion, 30ft radius, centered on me. That hits all elementals.
Free: Speak (Aquan) Get him. Slow and steady, be ready if he bolts.

Readied Action. Going off your last elementals movement.

Move from X24 to Y23 to Z23 to Z17.

Seeing as you have a whole list of readied actions there, I'll wait to post my turn.

[Talic]

Elementals are all acting on same initiative count (mine). Movement on my turn cannot trigger readied actions. Proceed.

EDIT: Even if it is the case that they can, I'll elect to not use my readied actions, in response to the readied action movement.

You like to trigger on actions eh, so lets see what happens.

Yoshi - Round 8

You would do that on the round I switch from proximity to action. Sigh. Well, I planned for this anyway. Elementals trigger.

Elemental 1: Move from V17 to to Z16.

Elemental 2: Move from W16 to Z18. This provokes an attack of opportunity. (when moving out of Y18)

Me: (not triggered) Free: speak (aquan)Grab him!

[Mavian]

You had them on Prox triggers?

Yoshi - Round 8 con't

Full Round Action: Withdraw Z17 to Y16 to X17 to X4.

This triggers an AoO for me leaving Y16, but not for leaving Z17, which means I should avoid giving you flanking bonuses.

[Talic]

Your first 5 foot step moves you into a square with 4 feet of pillar in the middle of it, leaving you approximately 6 inches of room on any one side. I do believe this Qualifies as "squeezed". Per SRD for squeezed:


Squeezing
In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn’t as wide as the space you take up. You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC.

When a Large creature (which normally takes up four squares) squeezes into a space that’s one square wide, the creature’s miniature figure occupies two squares, centered on the line between the two squares. For a bigger creature, center the creature likewise in the area it squeezes into.

A creature can squeeze past an opponent while moving but it can’t end its movement in an occupied square.

To squeeze through or into a space less than half your space’s width, you must use the Escape Artist skill. You can’t attack while using Escape Artist to squeeze through or into a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty to AC, and you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC.

If you'd like to edit your action based on this, I have no problem with that.

EDIT: And yes, I had them on, more or less, "If you perform any movement while at a distance of 25 feet or less"

[Mavian]

I got directionally challenged for a moment, was supposed to be Y18. Since I don't think I fit in Y16.

[Talic]

Figured as much. Woulda been a heck of an escape artist check. Heh.

Elemental AoO:

Attack:[roll0]
Damage:[roll1]
If threat:[roll2]
If Crit: [roll3]

Further, I elect to take my ready action in response to you leaving X17.

Me: Move from X24 to X18.

Now you may continue your action, and leave X17, provoking my AoO.

Attack: [roll4]
Damage: [roll5] -3 for your DR
If threat: [roll6]
If Crit: [roll7]

Continue your withdraw action from X16, adjust remaining movement as you like.

EDIT: Crit from the elemental, 6 damage, after DR, if I'm not mistaken. If you'd like to alter the remainder of your move, you're welcome to. In either case, if you move while in my LOE, I will use my readied action, and use the roll above (which is a miss, I believe).

[Mavian]

And you win

[Talic]

That was a hell of a bad beat, man. You pulled that move well, I was shocked to see the crit.

[Mavian]

It was like a 1% chance, so you just got damn lucky :smallsigh:

[Talic]

Just over 0.5%, when you calculate the odds of getting 9 or more damage too.
