Round 12

Owing to the irregular scheduling of the round, the Inactivity Lions will not strike this round.

Main Phase
Inky Nets Zar Peter ([roll0]vs[roll1]) and if he hits, he strikes for [roll2] damage and Zar Peter will be Netted.
Zar Peter Frenzies and attacks Inky ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5] damage.
Someone attacks Castaras, who is totally not using Combat Expertise ([roll6]vs[roll7]) for [roll8] damage.
Slow Person Phase
Eldritch Knight attacks Inky ([roll9]vs[roll10]) for [roll11] damage.

[Abardam]

Vitality Rolls:
Zar Peter: 6 vs [roll0] (WILL HE SURVIVE?!)
Inky: 6 vs [roll1] (SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME)
Castaras: 3 vs [roll2] (okay not so much here)

[Abardam]

In contrast to the previous rounds, something actually happened this round! Zar Peter dies (to Inky's net), Inky is attacked from behind by Eldritch Knight, and someone manages to bypass the normally alert Castaras' defenses.

[Castaras]

Ahh! I didn't know it was the next round! Dangit!

Combat Expertise and attack Heretic!

[Eldritch Knight]

I'll finish off Inky. Attack!

[inky13112]

Power attack back. We shall see, knight. The Inky warrior says as he steps away from his second kill, holding his sword at the ready, slowly circling his opponent. But I notice that net seems to be slowing you down, he says as he sees what he thinks is a weakness in The Eldritch Knights defense, and charges forwards, striking hard and fast in an attempt to slash him down before he has a chance to react.

[Abardam]

Round 13
Main Phase
Inky attempts to stop Eldritch Knight in his tracks with a Power Attack ([roll0]vs[roll1]) for [roll2].
Someone attacks Castaras ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5].
Castaras attempts to block, and counters ([roll6]vs[roll7]) for [roll8].
Netted Phase
If he survives with his [roll9] vitality, Eldritch Knight attacks Inky ([roll10]vs[roll11]) for [roll]1d10[roll].

[Abardam]

Inky steamrollers through Eldritch Knight, stunning him! However, Eldritch Knight still has more health, and therefore, a chance to survive. If Inky slips up once, it could be the end of him.

[Eldritch Knight]

Attack Inky

[Castaras]

Heretic...why pick on me?

Combat Expertise and attack Heretic.

[inky13112]

Not so confident now, are we knight? The inky warrior says as he whirls away from The Eldritch Knight, fresh blood spatter adding to the old ones of Zar Peter and Silkenfist. He regains his composure, falling back into his comfortable attack position, designed to maximize damage should he hit. You see, The Silken Warrior was likewise confident, but I am more deadly than many seem to think, he says, as he flies at The Knight bringing his sword down with practiced strength, attempting to slash him away and whirl past before the burdened Knight has a chance to retaliate.

(Power Attack EK)

[Abardam]

Well, nothing happens again.

[inky13112]

The Inky Warrior charged forward, swinging his sword down upon the Knight, but just as he was about to strike the Knights sword swung up to counter the Inky one. Blow after blow was traded, the knight parrying The Inky warriors blows easily, and Inky just barely keeping away the powerful slashes of the Eldritch Knight. Before his foe could find a break in his defenses, he spun away, leaving both unscathed. Not bad. He said as he regained his composure and prepared to attack yet again. But are you ready to do it again? He asked, as he waited for a lapse in the Knights defenses.

(Power attack Eldritch Knight)

Seeing the Knight get ready to strike attack at him the moment he attacks, the Inky warrior considers a new target. He realizes the battlefield has been mostly cleared though, and remembers his wounds from the lions. He'll just have to depend on getting the first hit in if he plans to win this battle.

[Eldritch Knight]

Counterattack

[Castaras]

Someone help me kill heretic please? He's trying to kill me...

*Decides not to do the damsel in distress act*

Combat Expertise Heretic.

[inky13112]

The Inky warrior turns as he hears a request for help. Realizing the Knight is hanging back, waiting for a charge, the Inky warrior decides an ally could be useful. Very well then Drow. He says as he turns away from the Knight and charges forward at Heretic, sword powerfully slashing down at him.

(Changing to power attacking Heretic)

[Abardam]

Round 15
Main Phase
Someone turns to attack Castaras ([roll0]vs[roll1]), [roll2]...
But finds that both his target ([roll3]vs[roll4]), [roll5] and Inky ([roll6]vs[roll7]), [roll8] are waiting for him!
Slowed Phase
Eldritch Knight uses his Counterattack to drive off the Inactivity Lions.

[Abardam]

Bah. Inky and Castaras tag-team Heretic, but nobody hits, again.

[Castaras]

Heretic! You will die!

Combat Expertise and attack Heretic.

[Eldritch Knight]

Counterattack

[inky13112]

Power net attack Heretic, to avoid the sla****y death that awaits me if I run into EK's counter attack.

[Abardam]

Round 16
Main Phase
Inky is attacked! ([roll0]vs[roll1]) If he is hit, he takes [roll2] damage.
But he is waiting, and he manages to get off an attack ([roll3]vs[roll4]), for [roll5].
Castaras, too, joins in ([roll6]vs[roll7]), striking for [roll8].
Post-Main Phase Phase
Eldritch Knight stands around.

[Abardam]

Vitality rolls
Inky: 5 vs [roll0]
Heretic: 6 vs [roll1]

Remember, folks, both of these guys are at 1 life!

[Abardam]

Defying the odds, Heretic survives the dual onslaught and manages to take down Inky, who is-or was-the biggest damage dealer (after Lucid Archon), as well as having the net. What will happen next? Will the battle be reduced to Heretic and Castaras trying to hit each other, again? Will someone attack Eldritch Knight? Stay tuned!

Combat expertise and attack EK.

[Abardam]

Well, I wish I had a good excuse for why the update is late, other than 'I forgot.' Anyway...

Round 16
Main Phase
Someone attacks Castaras (sigh, [roll0]vs[roll1]) for [roll2].
Castaras in turn uses CE and attacks EK ([roll3]vs[roll4]) for [roll5].
Mauled Phase
EK is mauled by lions for just standing there. -1 life.

[Abardam]

Damage roll:
Eldritch Knight: 4 vs [roll0]

[Abardam]

So apparently Eldritch Knight loses the will to keep fighting, and takes double damage from Castaras and the lions. And is killed. Also Heretic is mega-blocked.

The odds are stacked against Heretic, the dark horse of this match! Will Castaras walk out victorious? Or will they both keep flailing ineffectually at each other? Find out next round, on Saturday, 1:00 PM GMT!
