Black Magic - Ganurath

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

[Ganurath]

Initiative - (1d20+8)[28]

Also, I think the math is off on my opponent's AC. No purchases.

[hustlertwo]

Yep, it was. I had experimented with different attribute levels after my first check and forgot to correct it after I went with +3 to Dex, guess it got missed in the subsequent ones.

(1d20-3)[7]

No purchases.

[hustlertwo]

In retrospect, rolling initiative was probably not necessary. Unless the forum roller broke and somehow gave me a 32, I don't think it was going to matter. Anyhow, you're up.

I will start in O21, then take a move action to K21. When I'm there, I'll use a standard action to cast a Persistent Lesser Vigor using Divine Metamagic.

Mage vs. mage....I imagine the odds are against both of us rushing into battle, weapons drawn (especially since I'm a tad lacking on the weapons standpoint).

Fiorella- Round 1

Spoiler

Show

Start in L-5 with bag of caltrops in hand, move to S-4. Ready action to cast Magic Missile at him if LoS is established and he does not have total cover (since I think I remember something about how cover can make it miss, which is bad). Still waiting for a ref answer about the nature of the AC bonus given by the trees so I know how much or little I should rely on my ranged touch spells.

From K21 to J21 to I22 to H23 in a move action, if my understanding of the costs of diagonal movement is accurate. Then, as a standard action I'll cast Virtue.

Move to G-4, ready action to cast Magic Missile if LoS established and opponent does not have total cover, blah blah blah. If LoS is established while moving, I guess we'll change the turn from there.

Done. Probably a good idea to get a LoS check.

You see Fiorrella come around the corner of the barn in J3 and continue to G4

[hustlertwo]

Here's how my turn will go now:

I end my turn in H-5.

Ready action

Spoiler

Show

Cast Magic Missile as soon as my opponent has finished moving next turn, unless LoS would be broken, in which case obviously it won't trigger.

Ref question

Spoiler

Show

Since trees provide no cover, would that also mean projectiles can pass through squares with them, as they don't take up the whole square?

Casting Blade of Blood on my Light Crossbow.

Standard Action: Attack with my Light Crossbow, getting -2 from range increment, and +20 from True Strike. I'm not sure what the rules are with Blade of Blood and ranged weapons, so I'll pay the 5 HP now to be safe. Let's toss in a +1 from Guidance while we're here.

Fiorella swats the arrow away.

Fiorella- Round 4

Target Black Magic with Magic Missile.

(2d4+2)[6]

[hustlertwo]

I think with the 5 HP you so nicely put in your arrow, that should be game. I imagine you'll want a ref to make sure, though.

Oh, and after that I'll move to H-13.

If you'd be so kind as to explain to me how you're able to fire two missiles in a single casting, I'll concede. I don't see how you're caster level 3.

[hustlertwo]

Evocation Domain Wizard- +1
Spellgifted: Evocation- +1

I had to sacrifice a lot to get that kind of power, but I'm happy with it nonetheless.

[Ganurath]

Game over, you win.

Fiorella wins and gets the loot.

[hustlertwo]

A 24 hour match. I could get used to that. Of course, now I get to hurry up and wait on the other round 1 fights.
