Yrik - Gigz
Mr. Solus - Hustlertwo


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

[hustlertwo]

Init: (1d20+4)[23]

Buys after I see if my opponent will buy anything. Certainly not a new bow.

[gigz]

Good luck! No purchases, but he did buy a masterwork weapon between rounds.

Initiative: (1d20+1)[17]

[hustlertwo]

I appreciate the heads-up. I'll just get a Shield of Faith potion and six more masterwork arrows.

Solus, Round 1:

I start with my bow in my off hand, and I move north from Z-13, breaking LoS

As you had LoS with Solus before you would ready your action, you may revise your turn from that point.

Corrected by Sallera.

Once LoS is established you don't have to spoiler your actions, only a possible readied action/potion you drink/spell you cast, with the appriopriate DC of a skill to identify if needed.

[Sallera]

Ignore Lubirio's LoS, it's missing turns.

Solus:

Straight line from S24 to B26 passes through the glass, so I don't think running there is possible.

Yrik, round 5

Yrik moves to S24, then readies an action to move if Los is established and his opponent casts a spell, readies an action or moves more than 30 feet.

I can draw a straight line from a corner of S-24 to one on B-26 without touching glass. Is that not sufficient? I'm still trying to figure out this running thing ever since y'all told me in my last fight that straight lines are not actually straight lines at all.

[Sallera]

Solus:

Spoiler

Show

In movement, the line is centre to centre, rather than corner to corner, I believe. Unnecessarily complicated, yes, but this is D&D.

[hustlertwo]

Sallera

Spoiler

Where's the SRD entry or whatever that goes with that? I'm just going to go ahead and read up on all the angles to keep from this being a problem every match. Especially since I'm getting somewhat mixed signals from this post:

If you can draw a straight line from the corners of your starting square, to the corner of your ending square, its a straight line. At least thats how I always interpret it.

[Sallera]

Solus:

Spoiler

Show

Hmm, I can't seem to find it. I was sure it was in the RC, but apparently not. At any rate, if Mav says it works that way, we'll take that.

LoS established as Yrik moves to S24 and readies an action. Solus in in B26.

[hustlertwo]

Edit: Never mind, I get it now. Didn't realize the turn got approved, thought somehow he was in my square. But obviously it ceases to be mine when i leave it.

[hustlertwo]

Now I know how Bakkan felt against Fiorella. I'm not sure Rapid Shot was worth everything I gave up. Especially since I could have just had it at third level. If Solus flunks out here, I might make him a Fire Hobgoblin like I originally intended. I wanted to have a Small for the added AC and attack bonus, but stubby legs suck ass.

I think it's time to actually have something happen. Dying is one thing but dying after running for several rounds is just crap.

Free: Shift bow back to both hands.
Standard: Fire masterwork arrow! (1d20+3)[21] (-4 for Yrik's cover) Damage: (1d6)[4]
Move: To A-20
Free: Shift bow back to off-hand.

Yrik, round 6

Yrik will drop his falchion in S24, rage and move to I25/J26 drawing his masterwork greatsword as he moves, then ready an action.

Spoiler

Yrik will move if his opponent attempts to shoot him, begins casting a spell, or moves more than 30 feet.

Your readying an action triggers Yrik's. He moves to A19/B20. Does that trigger yours afterwards?

[Sallera]

Correction: The way your readied action is worded, it is not triggered by Solus readying an action.
