Okay you may both read any spoiler not addressed to the other person.

The map is located here. Also note either of you can update it, so please do.

Jasmine may start in any of the blue spaces. Please detail which space you choice to start in.

Tattoo starts in any of the red. Once again please say which space you start in.

Anything you do that the other may see, please post in the open. Anything you do that they can't see, please put in a spoiler. If you do something that allows a skill check to see, please put the needed DC. If you use an ability that requires a save, please put the DC. Also you may leave the DC's in a spoiler, if you wish. Thank you.

Now each of you are still considered flatfooted, and you may each roll for initiative. Good luck to each of you.

[Mysterious_A]

Okay, the bet thing was totally underhanded, but you don't strike me as the sort of person to like a fair fight anyway. So I'll play along with it, and may the best man win.

You see Tattoo on the other side of the battlefield. Arazathe is at his side, he still has his mantles and claws but instead of a glowing orb presents a pair of energy sandals. He has a new falchion sheathed, and holds a loaded crossbow in one hand.

He's also sporting twelve backpacks (eleven of which are brand new).

Actually, that wasn't intentional but you had walked off already. And how are you carrying twelve backpacks on a gnome? the DM told me I could only have one. And wasn't that snake killed? It doesn't really matter. Where are you standing?

Initiative: (1d20+13)[26]

You see Jasmine on the other side of the arena, clutching a guisarme in one hand and something in the other. She seems to be wearing heavy armor and has a bow and a greatsword as well as a backpack. She seems excited to fight someone who can't be killed.

EDIT:Initiative should be one lower, sorry.

[Mysterious_A]

Tattoo starts in I-6 with the snake in I-7.

I'm not sure on the backpacks, should probably ask the DM. Snake's a new snake, same name. I assumed I could get a new AC, though should probably ask that as well.

[Lord Ruby34]

AC is fine, I think it only takes a day to get a new one, and the fights are on different days. But how would you even wear twelve backpacks!?

We'll wait for the DM.

[Mysterious_A]

Well, one on the back, one on the front, four tied around each leg, two with their respective straps tied up and used as a belt around the waist...

And well, the final one I'm having a problem with. Could go for the head I guess, though it would be inconvenient.

[Lord Ruby34]

And to think I have trouble walking with one backpack to school, oh well I'm weak as **** so I'm really not a good baseline.

(1d20+10)[17]

Jasmine dropped the object in her hand and moved forward slowly at first, but soon wings sprouted from her back and she sprang into furious motion. She landed right in front of the snake and slashed at the snake man with her weapon. "Let's see you heal with your magic to protect you!" The strike was lightning quick, faster than the eye could possible follow.

Your move.

[Lord Ruby34]

Jasmine lets the blow bounce off her armor and smiles. "No, you didn't heal as fast that time. It is a spell. You didn't have to cast anything when that knight hit you, as this is something more indirect than a healing spell. I've picked that much up from killing mages before. Obviously you're using a spell to supplement something. It's possible it's those glowing things on your arms, but I can't do anything about them. On the other hand you're wearing two backpacks to an arena fight. Who does that without a reason. So I'm going to break those bags and you're gonna die." Her voice seems to be dripping with the excitement of the kill.

Jasmine delivers her lecture while stepping back and moving her feet slightly. With a single quick motion she flipped into the air and flew up and forward, striking from ten feet directly above Tattoo. She slashed viciously as the pouch on his chest. If you look carefully you might notice spots appear on her face.

OOC: You made a rather large fuss about grabbing as many backpacks as possible, so I'm gunning for 'em. Either this is a great distraction for you or you made too much of a fuss about them.

Sunder, I provoke, but I'm out of range. I'm out of AoO range so none for you.

Let's hope this works.
I didn't change my stance, I merely used Animal Devotion to boost my strength.

EDIT: Your Move.

[Mysterious_A]

Wait, I'm confused. Are you stepping through the snake? You said you were directly in front of it. There's no way you can get at me without using a move, and thus provoking an AoO from Arazathe.

[Lord Ruby34]

I'm five foot stepping back and flying over it. I'm in the same square you are, just far enough up to hit you.

[Mysterious_A]

But you can't five-foot step and move in the same round. Any kind of movement from one square to another at all, and it doesn't matter what sort of action it takes.

Or at least, that's the way I've always seen it used....

Edit: Anyway, your mechanical descriptions of your posts are rather incomprehensible. Maybe elaborate a little more?

[Lord Ruby34]

You're right, I just haven't used it that way before. My bad. I do eat an AoO from your snake then. Won't stop my movement though.

[Mysterious_A]

Alrighty.

Attack: (1d20+7)[17]
Damage: (1d4-1)[1]

If hit DC 13 fort or (1d6)[4] CON

[Lord Ruby34]

Okay you hit, and I take one.:

(1d20+8)[25]

EDIT: Your move then, sunder still resolves normally.

[Mysterious_A]

Waiting for a question to the DM. Round will be up shortly.

[Mysterious_A]

Ok, I'm still trying to figure out how you can sunder my backpack and slash me in half at the same time.

But anyway, backpack is killed. Tattoo hisses furiously and from it fall five acid flasks and one strange-looking vial. There are also four tiny vipers there who, upon falling to the ground, seem to converge around the odd vial, and they do really seem rather protective of it. You probably shouldn't mess with it (as in, please, please, don't mess with it pretty please?)

Anyway, Arazathe hurries to his owner's defense. He moves to put himself between Jasmine and Tattoo, and then attempts to start a grapple on Jasmine. This provokes an AoO.

Attack (touch): (1d20+7)[19]
Opposed Grapple: (1d20+2)[4]
Damage: (1d3-1)[1]

Not done with my round, need to see if Arazathe suceeds (or is killed) before I go on.

[Lord Ruby34]

How can you try and grapple me while I'm flying?

EDIT: I'll try to be more clear, on where I'm moving in the future. I'm keeping anything that you couldn't see completely bare bones.

[Mysterious_A]

Oh, alright, I think I know where you are now. Scratch Arazathe's actions.

The tiny vipers all slither through Tattoo's body, fleeing to the safety of his second backpack.

I'll use my AoO for another Sunder, this time on your potion, if I can't do that your other backpack is getting it. I do believe that either option would suck for you.

(1d20+9)[10]
(2d4+6)[12]

[Lord Ruby34]

I get to reroll that attack.

(1d20+9)[13]

Do I get a Know Dev. Roll for inanimate objects?

[Mysterious_A]

I don't know. It says you gain the bonus against the creature type, though, not his stuff.

Should probably ask the DM.

[Lord Ruby34]

I'm not really sure it matters. Potions have AC thirteen, I was remembering my group's houserule that ties go to the defender.

[Mysterious_A]

On attack rolls, no, but the potion's AC also adds Tattoo's dex. Which is a +2.

[Lord Ruby34]

Which is the exact difference in whether I hit or not. I'll ask the DM.

[Mysterious_A]

Yup. 'Tis what I meant.

[Lord Ruby34]

Well the question's posted.

If only I had managed to roll above a ten on any attack roll this encounter./whine
