Farkis Dardanos and his familiar The Word - 02youeng
Ayl - Sallera

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

Well, this ought to be fun. What is it, first to land two hits wins? :smalltongue:

Don't know when or if pifro's going to be back up, but I'll get a copy up on TTW as soon as it's back, which should be within a day or so.

Init: [roll0]

Hey hey, I'll wait till your sheet's up before deciding anything. Good luck though!

Farkis

[roll0]

Looks like their sheets are still a little... off, but it's workable.

Ayl

Purchasing Bracers of Quick Strike. Nothing else, aside from reactionary.

I will buy a scroll of Expeditious Retreat, Swift [25g]. If you have no other purchases, I will have to ask for your starting position and gear, as I will have LoS on my first turn [not giving much of my plan away there, or anything.] Spoiler it and I'll look after I post my turn.

Done.

Hah, just noticed the Steadfast Boots. That was a (probably fatal) mistake.

Heh, least they got used once, instead of just being a deterence. AoO and readied action to attack, doing double damage if hit.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[roll2]
[roll3]

You don't get an AoO, which is why I used that one in the first place, but the readied drops me to negatives unless this concealment saves me.
Concealment, miss on 1: [roll0] ...nope, that's match. Mayhaps next time I'll remember these things... comes from trying to strategize too far in advance and forgetting everything I worked out. :smalltongue:

OK, I assume the readied action thing has something to do with the boots.

So, if Sallera's saying he's deceased, then I guess it's match call time.

Farkis sprints his way to victory!

Making sure everything is covered here before starting the new match.

Sorry for the short game...how does it not trigger an AoO? You need to move through my threatened area to attack me

If I remember, that maneuver allows one to charge without incurring AoOs or something like that.

Aye, movement and the bull rush on Charging Minotaur don't provoke AoOs.
