Armas vs Iria Aurora Nova (The Crowd Calls for Blood)

[OMG PONIES]

The crowd is in an uproar as the two contestants are brought into the arena and unshackled in their opposing corners. The gigantic gates behind each of them would usually close with a deafening din of metal and stone, but any sound the gates would make is drowned out by those seeking entertainment. Both of them knew to expect this, but actually experiencing it was something else entirely. As the two fighters prepare to defend their lives, Iria is the first off the blocks!



Initiative Rolls

Okay, Gem Knight, you're up!

[Gem_Knight]

Iria takes a calming moment, opening her wings and flourishing her chain. She then leaps straight up into the air and coasts gently gliding down.

So- the chart in the PH appears to go +4DC per foot, using this logic I can be 10ft up though the chart only goes to 8ft [implied pattern, no obvious line I can see suggesting further is impossible- will check EHL in a moment]


So I'm a derp and missed that the chart below despite being all about reach is also mentioning the limiter for the height of a jump for a medium creature... bleh- kinda makes jumping up suck but whatever...

[Umbranar]

Armas, hold up his 4 claws in the air challenging his winged oppenent.
Then seems to concentrate for a second before moving forward.

[OMG PONIES]

Iria attempts to impress the crowd with an elaborate weapon drill, but she bobbles the maneuver and nearly drops her weapon on the ground. Instead of applauding, some in the crowd laugh at her failure. Others sit silently, hoping that her abilities outweigh her showmanship. With an elaborate flourish she leaps into the air and glides back to the ground. Meanwhile, her opponent draws closer without any of the same spectacle.



@Umbranar:

Spoiler

Show

Since your Totem Avatar isn't bound to your totem chakra, you don't gain the totemist's +1 meldshaper level on it. Therefore, you gain 6 HP from Totem Avatar instead of 7, bringing your current total to 72.

@Gem Knight:

Spoiler

Show

Without a running start, the DC for an 8 ft high jump is 64. You've failed the check and as such have leapt 5 ft into the air. Since you can glide 20 ft forward for every 5 ft descent, you're back on the ground in D17

Meh, guess it's only useful for horizontal movement then.

Iria frowns at her own nonplussed performance, so much for making things easy. She shrugs her shoulders and pushes with her wings flying straight up into the sky.

I've Decided, Flight Maneuverability Rules might almost me as complex as actual flight xD kidding of course; so... multiple revisions but I think I've got a valid move now... Very Sorry for much confusion, usually if I used a flying creature I was DMing and strafing, except for one game in which I beat an overpowered demon with a pair of Ray of Stupidity-s while flying and trying to stay out of reach...

[Umbranar]

Armas frowns at his opponent in the air, then takes a potion from his belt and drinks it.

If you are what I think you are, can you even fly straight up, keeping Flight Maneuverability in mind? I dont know what your Flight speed it but it must be 60 atleast to get to 60 ft height in a double move.

I apologize for the confusion.

[OMG PONIES]

Iria flaps her wings, desperately hoping to gain the loft she's looking for. She ascends as she nears the middle of the arena while her opponent stays in place and quaffs a potion of some sort.



Gem_Knight, you're up. Feel free to post unless there are questions; I'll check in occasionally to keep the map updated and such.

[Gem_Knight]

Iria drifts down gliding towards her opponent almost lazily, sizing him up as she does. She then reaches her long arms in a wide swing.

[OMG PONIES]

Iria drifts downward and toward her opponent, letting the cruel force of gravity assist with her attack. Her unnaturally long arms swing her spiked chain in an arcing downward movement, and for a moment the light of the sun twinkles off the pointed barbs along the length of the weapon. Any ability to revel in the beauty of the moment is thwarted as the blow connects with Armas' skull. It sends him reeling for a moment, but he brushes himself off and responds. The crowd goes wild, both with the winged warrior's resounding blow and her earthbound opponent's resolve.



The crowd is now friendly to Iria (+1 morale bonus on attacks and damage)!

Umbranar, you're up!

[Umbranar]

Armas grimaces as blood seeps over his face.

He then spits fire to his foe!

PS... flight movement rules are kicking my butt actually... what good is a +6 BAB when I can't use it unless I want to fall.... not that the 1 or 2 d6 falling damage is critical- but yeash...

[OMG PONIES]

It's a spectacle of misses as Armas' tanglefoot bag sails uselessly across the arena and Iria's showy flourish scrapes against nothing but stone. The crowd is still looking for something to connect, but some in the audience are getting bored with the theatrics. "This ain't the theater, it's the arena!" one shouts. "Yeah!" calls the drunken voice next to him. "Wewanna see shome fighting, not danshing!"



Umbranar, you're up!

[OMG PONIES]

Armas is up, Umbranar. Failure to post by Saturday will result in delayed initiative and Iria's turn.

Armas lets forth a blazing fire from his lungs, but his opponent lifts a wing and evades the hotter half of the blaze. Her wings are still singed, but it doesn't prevent her from gliding over Armas' head and lashing out with her chain, catching him on the arm.



Armas' firebreath deals 5 fire damage to Iria, who responds by striking Armas for 8 damage! Umbranar, you're up.

as an aside, lest I be accused of cheating- I don't need to peek at anything to get the jist- he's waiting to throw the bag based on some trigger or other- my choice to fly is based on staying out of melee reach of him. If I drop below 10ft I'm in his reach. If that triggers his move- then I'll get an AoO, if not, then his loss.

[OMG PONIES]

Both contestants begin playing a safer game, each evading the maneuvers of the other. Armas draws a tanglefoot bag and awaits a move that never comes as Iria flaps her wings and continues to ascend away from her foe.
