All Gladiators, please declare final purchases (if any) and roll initiative.

[Psionic Dog]

This feels familiar.
Ready for the rematch?

No initial purchase, but as unusual reserving the right to make a counter purchase should KKR buy anything.

Initiative - (1d20+3)[5]

[Exit]

No purchases

Wow, a natural 1 on initiative and you still go first... (in case of tie person with highest modifier goes first)

[Exit]

It certainly isn't a good sign.

Another critical?
Crit Confirm - (1d20+6)[11] Bonus Damage - (1d8)[4]

[Exit]

Don't I lose my cover benefit in J14 rather than K14?

Does Dense's shot count as an attack of opportunity?

[Psionic Dog]

Hmmm... I don't think so but let me check:



Nope.

In fact, since the readied attack was triggered by Kik moving out from cover that appears to have hit back at L-15. Not that the outcome is any different.

Still your turn.

Edit: It's only an attack of opportunity if I fire from inside a square you threaten, so no, not this time.

[Exit]

Okay, I'm gonna be mad if that botched throw of Alchemist's fire has flown into the air and lands on Kik-Ka-Rik's face.

(1d8)[5]

[Psionic Dog]

So counting clockwise from back toward you that puts the spash at: C-12.
Dense takes 1 damage.

But first...

Attack - (1d20+7)[19] Damage - (1d8+1)[5]

It's not much, but spiked gauntlets do threaten, and ranged attacks do provoke, and 20's have been rolled...

Well fought.

I'm so buying a bow next time.
