    I use cover ! (1d20+7)[21] VS DC 15. If succeeds, I negate all your damage.

    Now, because I triggered your readied action, I can modify my actions after your action.

    So, I stop in Z3. I cant cast spells while I use my mount for cover. But after that, as I just got out of combat, I think I can. If a ref says otherwise, I do the following:

    Start casting a spell from the scroll. The one that I readied in my previos spoilers.

    Caster check ! (1d20)[6] VS DC 4.

    If succeeds, Ranged touch! : (1d20-1)[8] VS your touch (11 I belive)

    Nice. I move there, You takes cover. This calls into play "you cannot take AoO's on opponents with cover relative to you". Now, the entire attack is negated, because it never even happened. Nice rules-fu. I bow to you.

    But your mount still provokes also. And, as it IS your cover, it can't benefit from cover.

    AoO on Mount (breaking Hide from Animals after attack):
    (1d20+9)[27] vs Flat footed AC 17/
    If hit: (2d4+7)[11]
    If threat: (1d20+9)[10]
    If crit: (2d4+9)[14]

    Also, as a side note:

    So, my dog almost kicked the bucket. And I have to redo my turn again.

    So, dog double-moves to O1 then. Your move.

    I'll go ahead and give you the ride to change the animal's move, but bear in mind it was given the order to move to Z1. To change it, you'd normally need a 2nd ride check (it's a free action, so not that big a deal there either). Your ride is pretty good, so I'm not all that worried about it.

    Now my turn:

    Move: From Y7 to R1
    Standard: Ready an Action:

    Move if my opponent attempts to move in any way, or attempts to Cast.

    If you readied an action to move near me if I do anything, then I will surrender. Because there is no ****ing way I can win under these conditions.

    Although I doubt that readying an action to move/attack someone if he does anything should be an invalid trigger from now on. Or at least not allow you to take an AOO since you moved in the threaten square or something.

    Based on the timings of readied actions, it's legal to move in response to another player's action, and, as that happens immediately before the action is taken, AoO's are allowed to be taken based on that.

    You have my readied action fairly closely estimated, but my trigger isn't set to any action you perform. There are many things you can do without triggering it. I just cover the actions that I find to give you the best chance of winning.

    Hm... 15 Feet away, and no movement.

    Your readied action can't be to move, because it's so tactically unsound that it's not funny. As I have greater movement by 10, I can just close to 10 and swing. You're better than that.

    I can only assume then, that it's to cast something. I've got 17 HP, so Splinterbolt could kill me, though I think you'll try to get me under 13 HP before you use that one, for a good shot at a decisive finishing move. Produce Flame and Magic Stone wouldn't do much, so I can rule them out. Blinding spittle is likely, or a memorized spell. Now, I can't predict a memorized spell, but it couldn't do more potential harm to my chances than Blinding spittle. The only thing that could come close is entangle... And I'm not sure if you'd memorize that. My odds aren't much above 50/50 to hit you, and you can wait me out on this ready action thing until my rage ends... Decisions...

    Sigh, this would be a lot easier if you'd just stay still so I could hit you. One more round, I guess, see if I can pull something off here. Change up my readied action a bit, maybe you won't be able to guess it.

    Greenscales, Round 6.

    No Move action taken.

    Wait, 15 feet away? My readied action becomes illegal. Oh well...

    And the distance between us made my instints to kick in.


    Mr Underhill - Round 6

    My dog will move from O1 to N1.

    Standard action: Cast spell from scroll.

    Caster check: (1d20)[19] DC 4.
    Touch attack: (1d20-1)[16]

    If succeeds, you go blind.

    I'll make my turn once I return to books. However, Readied action did not trigger...

    Hmm.

    Timing of washing eyes out, please.

    Question for refs:
    Spoiler
    Show
    I have a potion still. The specific text of the spell lists as follows:
    The subject is blinded until it can wash its eyes with water or some other rinsing fluid, which requires a standard action.
    As potions are inert unless drank (unlike poisons or acids, which have negative effects), would they qualify as a rinsing fluid? If so, I just bought the realm's most expensive eyedrops.

    Well, they are a fluid. Sometimes the solvent is bodak spittle or nasty things for potions, so maybe you don't want to put that in your eyes? Beats me, really. What the hell. Go for it. It makes sense to me.

    K, Just wanted to get an Idea.


    Move: to O1.
    Free: Switch to 1 handed grip on guisarme.
    Standard: Melee touch attack against N1 (grapple).

    Now, assuming you're both in the square, I have a 50/50 shot to be aiming for you, and a 50/50 to be aiming for your mount. (2 invis opponents in same square, effectively)

    (You=1, mount=2) (1d2)[1]
    Melee Touch attack: (1d20+9)[29]
    if Threat: (1d20+9)[20]
    Miss Chance (1-50 misses): (1d100)[84]
    Opposed Grapple Check: 1d20+13[/roll]
    Damage if successful: (1d3+8)[9]
    Can't move into target's space (mount present, or PC present), grapple can't be maintained from this point.

    Nono, you have to roll miss chances normally, regardless of how many creatures are in a square.

    Nice. But this isn't an AoO. This is an actual attack. No using cover to negate it this time. And even if you get +4 AC from cover, I still hit your touch AC+4 on the threat confirmation, so cover wouldn't have helped anyway.

    Ah, I am such a moron...you trigger an AOO from the dog or do you ? I mean, yeah, I cant AOO you, but the dog might, since you are blind and are in his threaten square...

    Dog AOO attack: (1d20+3)[4] VS your AC...of 9 I belive.
    Dog AOO damage: (1d6+3)[5]

    If this hits, grapple fails.

    Unless anyone can see a reason why the insanely improbable series of rolls above should result in anything other than a win for me, then yes.

    Sorry, Bayar. You suckered me on that spittle spell good. You honestly should've won. That one post had every single roll go my way, though.
