Joshua Balukar - Master_Rahl22
Malla Yor - Gigz

All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any

Purchase power stone of Stomp: -25gp

[roll0]

Could you tell me if I start on the left or right side? I can't always tell red and green apart, so I can't tell which starting spot I should be on. Thanks.

You're on the left.

Malla Yor INitiative: [roll0]

No purchases, though I should let you know I never used the 3 scrolls from my previous round and have added them to my gear instead.

Looks like Malla is up first...

Malla Yor, Round 1

Spoiler

Show

Starting in M25 Malla will cast Expeditious Retreat, Swift then move to M16. She will then attempt to summon [roll0] Celestial Dogs in M14 (Caster level check, DC 8 to cast [roll1]

Malla will instruct both dogs in celestial to move and flank the opponent. Both dogs will then move to flank my opponent in the North and South ways (they have enough movement to do this regardless of which square he starts in) as a double move before being done.

Done. You likely hear some spellcasting, strange language and then see a couple dogs come out of the fog to flank you north and south.

Start in M-2.

Actions:
Using Withdraw action to move to L-3, then straight east, disappearing into the clouds at L-8. This provokes 1 AoO from the north dog and none from the south since the square I start in doesn't count as threatened. Rest of move is spoilered.

Rest of movement/LOS:

I provoked 2 AoOs, but unless they can manage to do 26 damage with those, I'm still on my feet to put you into the negatives.

Unfortunatly, you can't negate the hit, as you used your swift action during your move to negate the AoO damage. You can only use the ability once a turn, for one attack.

Once per round measured from the end of your turn to the end of your next, though, I believe, not beginning to beginning.

Your movement actually provokes 3 AoO (all 3 summoned creatures threaten you).

Dog A, L16
Bite: [roll0]
Damage:[roll1]
Cold: [roll2]

If it hits, waiting on you to declare if you are preventing the damage or not...

Son of a... that will teach me to read the freakin action rules I guess, cause then I would've spent 2 earlier. So now what?

So, can I negate any damage from these AoOs right now or not? Stats below are corrected since I couldn't have done it on the badger's turn.

Edit: No a 7 doesn't hit.

Miss... :(

Dog B, M16 and flanking
Bite: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
Cold: [roll2]

If it hits, again waiting to hear if you are preventing it.

13 also doesn't hit. I'm guessing from you asking that I can prevent damage from these if I choose to.

I believe you did negate the damage; what I was trying to say was that an immediate action is equivalent to the swift action for your next turn, not your previous, so you should have still been able to. You would not, however, be able to negate any damage this turn.

Sigh... it seems to be a moot point, as I am rolling decidedly poorly this round. :D Damn

Badger time...

Claw: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
Cold: [roll2]

Good match, I had a chance if a couple more of my pets landed a roll over 10. Ah well. :D

Ok so here's the for real stats according to the ref then, and apparently I can't negate any damage from the last AoO since the first 2 missed.

EDIT: I'm gonna cry if that confirms...

LOL!!! NOW I roll a crit. For grins and giggles...

Confirm: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

Edit: @refs - Does the cold damage also get doubled? I don't think so, but I've got the win in a bleed off. :D

Wow, confirms but not enough to drop me before I drop you. WOW, that was a good game. Me winning init would've made it much easier since I would've had 4 more AC. :)

Edit: Extra dice are never doubled when confirming, IIRC.

Pretty sure you're right, just tossing it out for a confirmation. Yeah, you winning init would have had me going a much different direction... Winning init gave me the chance to go on the offensive and attempt to win through multiple creatures and multiple attacks. Ah well. :) Great game, good luck in the rest of the round.

Correct, the cold damage is not affected by the crit.

Joshua Balukar is the Winner!
