All Combatants, please roll initiative.

[Talic]

Reporting in, let's see if this one is free of freak 1% chances.

Init: (1d20+2)[15]

Still thinking on purchases.

[Mavian]

I don't really have anything to purchase, unless you plan on buying stuff.

Initiative: (1d20+3)[17]

[Talic]

One Potion of Enlarge Person.

If you have a response purchase, go for it. Otherwise, feel free to kick this match off.

[Mavian]

Ack, thats too much reach... hmm, I will pick up a potion of Spider Climb, and a few more javelins.

Greenscales, Round 1 (part 2)

Starting In Y13, Guisarme in hand, gauntlet worn.

Move: from Y13 to P13.
Standard: Attack Glass, at intersection M12/N13, attempting to shatter all Glass within 5 feet.

To Hit: (1d20+7)[27]

EDIT: 1 damage shy of the shatter. That section requires 1 more damage, after hardness, to break.

[Mavian]

I'm going to need to get a ruling on the plausibility of that action... because nowhere in the description of the glass does it say that smashing an intersection breaks all the attached glass.

It's been done in previous matches, in the other glass arena. If you'd prefer, however, I'll be more than happy to restrict it to a 5x5 square (M/N 13, ground level), and we can go from there.

[Mavian]

I'd never seen it, hence why I mentioned it, but if you say its been allowed, then by all means.

Your up

[Talic]

Yeah, Paladin's done it in a couple rounds, if my memory's correct. Once I finish compiling my Rulings Archive, I'll be able to link things like this.

I do recall nobody's challenged the action, to my knowledge, so there was never any official ruling on it. Just that it's been done.

Also, this arena does use panes, whereas the other refers to glass as walls, which could mean differences in the way it's handled.

Will post move soon as I can access the arena map here. Neglected to save the pic and e-mail it to myself prior to leaving for work, sigh.

[chilepepper]

ref chilepepper

I haven't seen the previous use of shattering 4 panes, but unless this was dealt with previously, I'd say 3 of the panes shattered.

The damage should be spread as evenly as possible so if you did 8 damage, each pane would get 2 damage. As is: spread evenly 3 panes would shatter and 1 would be intact with 1 hp left. Let's say upper left is 1 and go clockwise based on attackers perspective. Indicated pane is still intact (1d4)[2].

disclaimer:I'm only an initiate ref (still), so I don't have the authority to make this official. If this doesn't make sense to either of you, you can completely ignore me, or call for a high ref to officiate.

edit: So I'm thinking, how can I get him a copy of the map...? I could drop it in my photobucket, but I bet that's blocked for him too. Hrmmm... Maybe the forum will tell me his email address, eh probably not. Oh well, I give up. Guess I'm done with all the Arena stuff for now, I'll go check my email. Hey, there's an email from Talic...

[Talic]

Personally, after looking at the map's wordings, this map treats each 5x5 section as a seperate pane (doesn't for the other map). Rules don't allow shattering multiple objects with one attack (I didn't notice the difference in wording until Mavian brought it up). I'm willing to scrub the action entirely, as it will likely not have a serious impact on the match.

Yes, I know this is arguing AGAINST my own actions. But it seems like the correct interpretation, to me.

[chilepepper]

ref chilepepper

I'll weigh in on that. I'd say since it is separate panes, you can't target an intersection unless you could normally target an intersection, like with a splash weapon.

I have 50% concealment right? Because he has to look through the wall, and then the ceiling to see me, so I should be able to move and hide. Correct?

I drew a little map in paint to maker sure my path was right. I also do not believe you get either cover or concealment from my attack. Also if my first attack misses, I will be changing my move.

Hmm, do I want to get technical and mention that you never actually placed your hand back on your guisarme, so your not actually wielding it?

Mike - Round 8

Withdraw Y12to Y11 then tumble to Y10, before moving to Q10
Tumble (1d20+7)[8]

[Talic]

You're absolutely right, which is a good thing. After all, if we're getting technical, the tumble skill is listed as only being usable as part of a move action. :)

No AoO for me. You on the top or the bottom?
