Shattered Lands (IC)

[russdm]

So here is the IC thread for Dark Sun Shattered Lands.

"By order of the Mighty and Omnipotent King Tectuktitlay, all slaves fit to carry a sword shall fight in the arena. Death shall be the gladiators' payment for weakness.

Let the games begin!"

The stone door opens. You walk out onto the arena floor encaged within a bone fence. A bone door blocks your entry into the arena.

Behind you, an announcer speaks. "All hail King Tectuktitlay! Today this slaves shall do battle in the arena for the glory of our king! But first, the mage Profion shall battle!"

You watch the mage Profion fight a rampager and two sligs. Profion kills the sligs but is killed by the rampager.

The door blocking your way into the arena opens.

The announcer speaks again. "All hail our king! Gladiators! It is your turn to fight in the arena!"

The sligs move to attack S. Two will flank while the third will just attack. They use bone longswords. If either of you two have opportunity attacks you make them as follows:

S: The 1st slig will move out of a square you threaten, so you may make an AoO.

1st slig, 1 with green letter, (1d20+8)[17]

Damage if hit (1d8+1)[3]

2nd slig, other 1 in flank on S, (1d20+8)[24]

If I trip the slig then attack roll: (d20+12)[3](15) and damage: (4d6+7)[2][3][2][5](19) (I think that 2d8 grows to 4d6 but I'm not sure. If I made a mistake feel free to re roll for me this time).

Cog, Ignore the green l slig's attacks. and the other flanking slig's attack roll is dropped down by 2. So it would be a 22 to hit, not 24.
