[RPGAgmJAY]

I'll wait on LoS check before taking my turn.

[Sallera]

Since you cannot hide while being observed, LoS is not actually lost on Max's first turn, as he ends in Y15. Kelgore may revise his first turn if he wishes.

[Ganurath]

I would indeed like to revise. But first, a Ref question:

Spoiler

Show

I saw in Max's last game that he was able to delay into the next round and thus bypass the DRAW, can I do that here?

[Sallera]

Kelgore:

Spoiler

Show

I'd consider that highly questionable and likely impossible. Seems it got overlooked when he tried it, but as initiative counts don't run on a fixed numerical basis, there's no way to delay into the next round without delaying past your opponent, since the next round doesn't start until their initiative count.

[Ganurath]

Kelgore Junior

I'll take a move action to I8 for a better view, then, and I'll ready an action.

Spoiler

Show

The action is blasting my opponent with Kelgore's Firebolt, and the trigger is seeing my opponent moving one of his limbs.

[Ganurath]

I do believe that that move action triggered my readied action, which takes effect before the triggering action, so you're still in LoS. Kelgore's Firebolt!

Fire - (4d6)[22]
Reflex DC 17 for half.

Edit: Not that it matters, evidently.

[RPGAgmJAY]

Done.

Won't make that mistake twice. I'll see you in the finals. =)

Well played.

[Sallera]

High Ref Sallera

Max doesn't run quite far enough, and Kelgore takes the victory.
