No, but the direction of the sound is noted. Wish I would have bought a script of hunter's sesnse, but too late for that. For now I'll remain here. If that's the case, what do I hear before I need to make a will save? I'm just looking to see if it is a full round spell (SLEEP) or color spray.

You faintly hear spellcasting coming from somewhere in the West. It seems to be lasting longer than most (ie full round cast). You need to make that Will save now.

BM needs to make his Will save.

[Bigmac]

Will Save (not sure if Elethomiel is able to detect if I save or not)

Spoiler

So the sounds are from the west, but the noise was from the north. Fishy.
willsave - (1d20-2)[13]

I pray I didn't just lose this match

The will save indicates that Elethiomel has begun reciting the scroll of SMII. Is he able to complete the action? Does he perceive any action or reaction from Taleron? reactive listen - (1d20+3)[9], reactive spot - (1d20+3)[9]

Heh, some fast postings.

@BM

Spoiler

You recognize the sounds you heard from the west as illusionary, and because of that also recognize the true casting is coming from somewhere in the north.
You may react on your round 6 if you wish.

@Maurkov

Spoiler

BM has his round 6 first, if he chooses to do anything, and then we continue with your round 7, where you will finish your casting.
Speaking of which, you need a caster level check, DC4, in order to use that second level spell. A 1 automatically fails. If you do fail, you need to make a DC5 wisdom check to prevent a mishap.

Taleron gets to act on his turn in round 6, if he wishes.

[Bigmac]

Taleron's round 6 actions:

Taleron remains in R11, waiting for something.

Spoiler

Keep the same ready action as before. Take a 5ft step (if necessay) to attack anything that moves or appears withing 15ft of Taleron

End of Turn

Oops. For some reason I thought it was a CL check, and that a 1 wasn't an auto-fail.
Round 1 Invisibility DC4 - (1d20+2)[19]
Round 6 SMII DC4 - (1d20+2)[19]

If the first fails, we'll need to roll back, I think.
Assuming the second succeeds,

Elethiomel will summon (1d3)[1] small monstrous spiders, to Q8, Q9, and P9. The first one will move up the pillar (R8, 10' up) and sling web. Spider1 web attack - (1d20+2)[20]

The other two (if they exist), will move in and attack:
Q9->R10 Spider2 attack - (1d20+4)[5] Spider2 damage - (1d4-2)[2]
P9->Q10 Spider3 attack - (1d20+4)[6] Spider3 damage - (1d4-2)[0]
I'd like to know if this triggers any readied actions before Elethiomel starts taking his round 7.

Edit: 1 spider.

[Bigmac]

When the spider appears in Q8, it triggers Taleron's readied action. He takes a 5ft step to Q10 and attacks the spider with his guisarme.

Taleron will initiate his steely strike maneuver.
attack - (1d20+13)[18] +2BaB, +1WF, +6str, +4 Steely Strike
damage - (2d4+9)[15]

Since that was a readied action that moves him up to the top of the initiative order, but he loses his move action for the round.

You hear spellcasting again, illusionary from the west and real to the north somewhere.

Taleron, Round 8 continued

Taleron moves back to R11 and continues to wait for his opponent to show himself.

Ready an action to move if he senses Elethomiel cast a spell within 15ft of him.

Elethiomel round 9

Spoiler

Show

Target the intersection at P10-Q11 Will save DC17. Move to Q5. Not done; I suspect Elethiomel will be interrupted.

I believe that's another Will save. Then Elethiomel steps into Q5. Not done, but does that trigger a readied action?

[Bigmac]

Using my moment of perfect mind maneuver to roll a concentration check instead of a will save.

Also, going to expend my psionic focus to take 15 on my concentration check.

so will save = 15+11 = 26.

No, you haven't triggered my ready action yet.

[Maurkov]

Elethiomel round 9 (continued)

Elethiomel nods and steps back behind the post.

Spoiler

Show

Move Q5->S5, then sneak ->R5->Q6 (30'). Move Silently - (1d20+4)[8], Hide - (1d20+6)[11]. Cast Daze, using Ventriloquism.

Elethiomel (hiding, I think the spot DC is 13) casts Daze (DC 16), the sound of which seems to originate from C10.

Done.

[Bigmac]

Daze, nice.

willsave - (1d20-2)[11]

[Maurkov]

Elethiomel round 10

Sensing that his spell has taken hold, Elethomel moves in Q6->Q8 and unleashes a blast of color (Will DC17).

Duration if save is failed:
(2d4)[5] unconscious
(1d4)[3] blind

[Bigmac]

well, lets see if i can get a nat 20

will - (1d20-2)[10]

Edit: GG. I made a mistake this time, but I promise if I see you again, you will go down. Hard.

[Bigmac]

Not that it matters most of the time, but I prefer that a spellcaster NOT know the specific durations of color spray. If you know you have 8 rounds of unconcious vs 2, it makes a big differnce.

[Maurkov]

gg. I better figure out a new tactic for next time.

Which was the mistake?

[Paladin Latham]

High Ref Paladin Latham

Elethiomel is declared the winner and recieves the listed prizes.

[Bigmac]

Assuming you would use color spray. I was very specific about the conditions for my ready triger becuase I figured you would cast sleep and then color spray. I completely forgot about daze.
