Battle Royale #3

[Calamity]

Yes, that's right. Having 7 weeks of free time available means that I am finally doing a third version of Battle Royale. Corridors was a big no unfortunately, since I suffer from writer's block too much, as evidenced the last two times I tried to host it...

But anyway, I digress, it's back and so are it's rules, now with significantly less typos!:

1) Every player starts with 40HP
2) Everyone will roll a d20 for initiative at the start of each round. I'll be using http://www.invisiblecastle.com for all the dice rolls.
3) Every player will have a normal attack that deals 1d20 damage (Yep, more luck than skill is needed!)
4) There are currently 10 classes (if you have suggestions for others I will be willing to hear them!).
5) The classes each have their own special ability, which will be listed below. The ablities can only be used every 3 rounds! (So if you use it in round #1 you can't use it until round #4.) The Monk, Ninja and Barbarian abilities are exceptions and can only be used every 5 rounds.
6) The classes will be distributed around players randomly and as evenly possible. If you would like a particular class then please say so in a PM or in this thread. If everyone wants a particular class then I am sorry but some of you will be disappointed.
7) You choose your action each round, whether you're just gonna attack or use your special ability, please send these actions in PM's.
8) Have fun!
9) If you don't send in an action during a round, the inactivity demon will come in and deal 1d10 damage to you
10) You will have 2 days to pm your actions, choose them wisely!

You read them? Good.

Here are the classes:
Swordsman/woman: Swordsmanship: Do 1d20+8 damage to any target
Wizard: Barrier: 1d10 damage to anyone who attacks the casting mage. Their attack is still executed but halved
Rogue: Hide: Can't be attacked until the next round.
Archer: Rapid Shot: Deals 1d12+3 damage to two targets.
Monk: Pray: Damage done to the praying monk is halved, damage dealt by the praying monk is also halved (rounded down). This lasts for 3 rounds.
Cleric: Heal: 1d10 HP is granted to target
Ninja: Ninja's Speed: +5 to initiative for 3 rounds
Sorceror/Sorceress:Fireball: Select an initiative value. Everyone within 2 initiative of that value takes 1d10 damage.
Barbarian:Rage: For the next three rounds the babarian gets +5 damage to all attacks, but all attacks against him/her get +3 damage.
Negotiator:Convince: Choose a target of your choice's next action.

3 new classes this time around, I must have been feeling generous.

Less than 5 hours left, still missing 4 actions.

[Calamity]

Ok, well, I'm no longer taking actions, Round 1 will be posted soon.

[Calamity]

Here it is, Round 1:

Initiative 17
billtodamax starts with an attack on Kyouhen for 19 damage!
Opeth_Freak sends a fireball to initiative 14. The blast causes mayhem: Fleeing Coward takes 2 damage, The Bookworm takes 4 damage, Dirk Kris takes the full 10 damage, Kyouhen takes 4 damage and Hero 1.0 takes 2 damage.

Initiative 16
Fleeing Coward launches an attack on Hero 1.0. The Swordsman takes 8 damage
The Bookworm decides he doesn't like the negotiating type and attacks Reinholdt. Reinholdt takes 10 damage
Dirk Kris also starts with an attack. His target is Fin, and he takes 18 damage

Initiative 13
The punishment towards Hero 1.0 continues as Kyouhen deals 17 damage to him

Initiative 12
Battered and bruised, Hero 1.0 appears to have already given up as he allows himself to get hurt even more by the inactivity demon. 4 damage

Initiative 9
Having already felt some pain, Fin decides he doesn't like it and hides away.

Initiative 7
Aemoh goes into a rage. Rawrgh!

Initiative 6
Reinholdt manages to convince The Bookworm to heal him next round despite the fact that the cleric had already attacked him.

Initiative 1
And it looks like Reinholdt will probably need that heal as Lord Fullbladder attacks him for 12 damage

-------

At the end of the round, things look like this:

Unfortunately, I have to dash off. But when I am back I feel a few clarifications need to be made. Meanwhile, you can send in your next actions, the deadline is Tuesday 28th July, 4:00PM GMT

[Reinholdt]

Owwwies...

[The Bookworm]

Bah, Reinholdt! Are you the seer?

[Reinholdt]

Hmph. YOU attacked ME, remember?

[The Bookworm]

But you're making me waste my heal!

[Reinholdt]

Waste it?
Hardly. It's going to a very good cause.

[Fin]

Dirk Kris.... Dude!!!

What did I ever do to you?

*looks at sig*

Oh that, yeah...

[Kyouhen]

What did I do to attract the wrath of the wizards?

[Calamity]

I'm late, sorry.
Round 2 will be up soon.

[Calamity]

Here it is, the second round!:

Initiative 16
Fleeing Coward prays, and receives a blessing.

Initiative 13
Dirk Kris starts the violence for this round, with an attack to billtodamax. It only deals a meager 2 damage though

Initiative 10
Opeth_Freak attacks Kyouhen. The dice seem cruel today, as Opeth_Freak also only manages 2 damage

Initiative 7
But Kyouhen is not safe yet as he suffers another attack, this time from billtodamax. He manages to do more harm than the previous attacker: 7 damage

Initiative 6
Lord Fullbladder decides to attack Fleeing Coward. However, due to Fleeing Coward's prayer, he is only able to deal half damage. 2 damage

Initiative 5
The barbarian Aemoh attacks billtodamax, still in his rage. He deals 11 damage.
Reinholdt attacks Lord Fullbladder. He deals quite a bit of damage, at least, by this round's standards, 13 damage, in fact.

Initiative 4
Kyouhen decides to take advantage of the raging barbarian's open defences. He deals 13 damage.
Hero 1.0 decides he's going to do something this round, and boy, does he have a big effect. He uses his Swordsmanship to deliver a lethal attack to Kyouhen. A massive 19 damage is dealt. Kyouhen becomes the first casualty.

Initiative 2
Fin could've provided us with our second casualty, but he only manages to deal 6 damage to Hero 1.0, who still clings on to life.

Initiative 1
The Bookworm doesn't have much of a choice, so he heals Reinholdt. Reinholdt gains 6 HP

-----------------

Round 2 is over; here is how things stand:

{table]Player | Role | HP | Status
Kyouhen |Archer|DEAD|
Fleeing Coward |Monk|36|(Pray: 3)

---------

Well, what a round. After the first round, it looked like Hero 1.0 would be our first casualty for sure, but ironically, it was him who delivered the first lethal blow. So there you have it, folks. There's one down, but nine still need to fall, so send in your actions by Thursday 30th July, 7:00 PM GMT

EDIT: I also think you are probably the unluckiest group ever, based on your dice rolls this round. >.>
