Gladiator 3 has started!

[Khaldan]

huh. Drop juggernaut stance then, and lets run this.

[Mustiado]

Yikes, sorry guys... I'd forgotten I signed up for this. ?:/

Have fun, everybody!

[Abardam]

@Jagg: But then you'd have one extra skill point. If you're cool with that, than okay.

[Jagg]

Razza Frazza here we go sorry to hold up the process

Shield other 1
Energy wave 1
PSI+ 2
Wisdom +1 Chaos Hammer, Raise Dead
Quicken stance 1

[Abardam]

Game start!

You are behind metal bars, in pitch darkness, along with your parter. After what seems like an hour, the announcer's voice booms out, "Ladies and gentlemen, we now open the gates for the gladiators! They will fight for your entertainment, to the death! Raise the gates!"

----

The audience roars.
The ten or so steel gates around the coliseum slowly rise, and the gladiators (and Inactivity Lions) step out. The announcer says, "Begin the killing!"

Round 1 ends on Friday!

[GoC]

Hey Streakster did you change your build when I wasn't looking?
I would think it would have been a good idea to at least keep Shield Other...

Unless of course you're planning on going solo due to me being ripped to shreds in two rounds?

[streakster]

Aww, crap. Miscommunication. Looks like Abardam used my old build, from before we teamed. EDIT: My fault really, I never changed my old post to reflect that...

If I have to use that thing, I think I'm dead in the water....

[GoC]

Also I'm pretty sure I said I was using the first build in post #13 but got given the second.
Let's just pretend you're using build #2 in post 13 and I'll use build #1. Ok?

Noone's posted any actions yet so no harm done.

EDIT:
I use:
Shield Other, Metaphysical Weapon on myself

[streakster]

Righty-ho!

[Dr. Bath]

Aaaaannnd in the Pink Corner! Dr. Baaaalamaty!!!

"After a true res spell, Dr. Bath is looking better than ever Des!"
"That's right Les, mabye this time he'll be less woefully innefficient....."

Dr. Bath readies his shield and razor-scrubbing brush for the oncoming battle.

Whirlwind attack, shield other: Calamity

[Fleeing Coward]

((Need some rules calrification. How would Metaphysical Weapon work if you use Iron Palm afterwards? Would it just disappear or does it remain until the next successful non Iron Palm attack?
Also, does sprint avoid the wave?))

[Jagg]

Jagg steps out, nods to his teammate, and proceeds to run like a madman around the arena screaming like a banshee. He waits until he's near the most of his fellow gladiators before screaching to a halt and saying deep and meaningful words of power. "Whoops, crackle the chicken gibblets, it's time for soup Mr Pie."


Quicken Stance
Energy Wave

[Dr. Bath]

In light of recent actions:

"CHAAAARGE!!(for me and Calamity, and Almighty Salmon and Fleeing Coward if possible)"

"RUN AWAAAY!!!"(sprint)(trying again, check later post)

@v Curse you Jagged Raiser! Curse yoooou!! *shakes fist from the other side of the arena*

Also, how many points of psi are you putting into the wave Jagg? I think you have to specify.

[Raiser Blade]

In light of recent actions:

"CHAAAARGE!!(for me and Calamity)"

"RUN AWAAAY!!!"(sprint)

I wonder how many other pople have a way of improving their initiative.

[heretic]

One shadowy combatant turns to his counterpart, whispering "Go for the Eyes" before disappearing into the darkness.

(Shout targeting me and Castaras)

[Fleeing Coward]

A slender, black haired elf who appear oddly out of place in a combat arena roars loudly before melting back into the shadows again.
((The Power is Yours! targetting Almighty Salmon, Dr. Bath, Calamity, Heretic
and Castaras.
Sprint if Jagg casting at max/near max power and it can be avoided with sprint.
Shield other: Salmon, Metaphysical Weapon: Salmon otherwise))

Sadly no since jagg has improved initiative just sprinting won't stop it. Also he is going to use max psi=10.

[GoC]

Me and Streakster (assuming he doesn't post before the deadline) both Sprint.
If needed to escape the Energy Wave Streakster will also shout "Charge!!!!" to everyone in the silver and orange teams (subject to change on promises of NAP).

FC: That's a pretty big group you've got there.

Raiser_B1ade: I think you're playing you're trump card a little too early.

EDIT: Streakster uses Shield of Law on himself (unless he says otherwise of course).

[Fleeing Coward]

Sadly no since jagg has improved initiative just sprinting won't stop it. Also he is going to use max psi=10.

But since I do as well, it's just a question of if sprinting only avoids physical or all.

EDIT:
@Raiser_Blade: With quicken stance max Jagg can spend is 9 psi.
@GoC: Just trying to survive.

[Orzel]

"Got you next round. Thanks for lowering your Psi. Me and my 1d10 base vitality should be good. But it's d12 now"

Orzel, boosted with speed, focuses his mind and strikes with assurance (Biofeedback, Iron Palm, Lucky Vitality+)

[GoC]

We're all lucky that Raiser_B1ade forgot to give himself the Charge! shout.

EDIT: What do we do next round when Raiser_B1ade hits us with a 20hp Energy Wave?
Shall we all hit him this turn to prevent that?

Raiser: Kinda sad that your team went all-or-nothing in the first round...

EDIT2: Dibs on his corpse!

EDIT3: Hmm... 36 damage to everyone on the first round while using Quicken Power to make people think that Sprint is useless.
The pure brilliance of it deserves 5 stars!
btw:Should definitely have included Charge! as a backup plan. That was a grevious (possibly fatal?) error.

[Jagg]

Indeed I am going to be using 8 PSI!!! because I used 1 point for quicken and I'm saving 1 point for something.

Fear the strategy!!!!!!!

[Raiser Blade]

Almost but not quite you can't hit and flee. Also 24 hp energy wave?


Oh and we came prepared for the long haul not just all or nothing.

[Orzel]

How much damage is that.

He used 1 psi on Quicken

[GoC]

How much damage is that.

He used 1 psi on Quicken

(10-2)*2=16 damage from Jagg
(8-3)*2*2=20 damage from Raiser_B1ade

Total=36
*edits previous post to reflect this.

[Orzel]

Good thing I have d12 Vitalilty.

Now I can mind thrust them all day

1) Jagg motions to his stealthy partner - maybe he will and maybe he won't - builds the psychological warfare hype - fear the strategy!!!

2) Hey no dibs on corpses - We kill 'em WE raise 'em

3) Woot 5 star strategy - brilliance woot! hey that's my line.

[GoC]

Note: If too many people Sprint+Charge this round then Raiser_B1ade will probably wait til the next one before attacking. That's why I reccommend we kill him this turn.

Orzel: But what about poor me and my d6 vitality (and you actualy have d10+1 vitality)?
That's 3 lives even if I Sprint this round!

[Raiser Blade]

Orzel: But what about poor me and my d6 vitality (and you actualy have d10+1 vitality)?
That's 3 lives even if I Sprint this round!

No matter what you and your d6 are gonna get owned hard.

[streakster]

"And now, the best of what was left, the mad master of mediocrity, the sultan of so-so:

Streeeeeeeeek-Stah!



Shield Other stance, "Charge" shout on my team and the silver team and Orzel (if they don't already have +1 to init), and attack Jagg.
