Arena Tournament, Round 35: Llince vs Grushnak

[FlyMolo]

1 mile telepathy. Always on.

So where you at?

[LtKeen]

He's at H5.

[FlyMolo]

H5. Okay then.

I, llince himself, hide as I sneaky sneak sneak east. G1-J1, if no LoS(there won't be) to K2-L3, stopping if LoS is established. In theory, I'll still have cover in that first peeking, and still be able to hide. and my emberling moves to G1.

My emberling rushes off east(after standing up, of course). I'm not sure exactly where you lose LoS, but he passes it.

That's all, I'm done. Might need won't need LoS. I know where I am, I know where you are, and you can't see me. Great. Your go.

[LtKeen]

Seeing as Grushnak was affected by entangling ectoplasm originally in turn 2, the duration of entangling ectoplasm expires.
Grushnak's Turn 7
oh yeah, outta LoS again, to the spoilers!

Spoiler

Show

Grushnak, no longer entangled, will take a move action to move to I2
If I see Llince or the emberling, I will make an attack with my crossbow(priority si in listed order).
If I see neither of them, I will ready an action. Whenever one of them comes into LoS, I will shoot them. Anywho, here's the attack roll for either condition.
+1 to hit and dmg if within 30 ft
Atk (1d20+10)[17]
Dmg (1d6+3)[7]
Atk if it hits (1d20+10)[14]
Dmg if it crits (1d6+3)[6]

Need a ref/LoS check for my final action, then my turn will end.

As you get to I2, you can see him in L3

@Flymolo

Spoiler

Show

You see him come to the ledge at I2 and looks down at you (no longer have cover or concealment vs him)

[LtKeen]

Well then a bolt fires at Llince: if 17 hits your AC you take 7 damage. And it's now your turn.

[FlyMolo]

It does. I burn some pp to make it hurt less.

Spoiler

Show

5/8pp now, after mind thrust. 3/6 health.

I move to I1, you can still see me. My emberling loads his bow, F5S to H1, fires it at you. Then he and I fall prone, and I manifest at you.

DC 15 will save or take (1d10)[4] Damage.

(1d20+5)[10] (1d10)[7] No idea what your AC is.

[LtKeen]

Will save (1d20+1)[17]
If Grushnak makes the save then
Grushnak's Turn 8
Cursing to himself as he sees Llince fall onto the ground again, Grushnak tests his luck by shooting a crossbow bolt at him
Atk: (1d20+11)[29]
Dmg:(1d6+4)[6]
Atk if threat:(1d20+11)[25]
Dmg if crit: (1d6+4)[10]

He moves then out of LoS, disappearing at H3 (based on previous rulings)

Spoiler

Show

He moves to G6

End of turn

if he doesn't succeed the save, I'll make a different post for the turn Wow, 1 point away from a critical. that's 6 damage then >_> On a final note, my AC's the standard 18 right now.

[FlyMolo]

Ow. Wait, how are you loading your bow?

That's a move action, right? Yeah, you have an xbow. So if you fired last turn, and moved, and fired and moved again this turn, you're missing a move action in there somewhere.

Must be. I swear. *gibber*

[SamTheCleric]

His move was legal. He has Rapid Reload, lowering it from a move action to a free action.

[FlyMolo]

I knew I was missing something. I have no idea what to do now, other than burn another pp.

Spoiler

pp4/8, hp 1/5

[FlyMolo]

Spoiler

Show

Hiding, me and my emberling move to J3/J2. I'm in J3. We both ready an action. The action is to manifest a power(on grushnak), mind thrust for me, Psionic Daze for him. As a connected free action, we both will drop prone. The trigger for both actions is LoS on Grushnak firing at us.

[FlyMolo]

Stuff I forgot:

Spoiler

Show

Hide me(1d20+3)[11] Emberling (1d20+2)[21] By my reading of the cover rules, I have cover to Grushnak standing atop the building. strictest RAW, I'm afraid.

[SamTheCleric]

@Flymolo:

Does that complete your turn? No line of sight.

No line of sight for you!

fun!

[FlyMolo]

That would be the thing I forgot to include in my forgotten things post.

I'm all done.

[LtKeen]

Grushnak's Turn 9

Spoiler

Show

Grushnak imbibes his other potion of Cure Light Wounds that was in his backpack, preparing for another assault.
Cure Light Wounds (1d8+1)[8]
Current HP: 11/11

That'll be all.

[FlyMolo]

LLince Round 9+-1

Spoiler

Show

My emberling and I move to L/K9, and my emberling reloads the bow. I prepare an action to manifest mind thrust on Grushnak if he shows up within range of it. LoS trigger, 25 feet.

Done.

[LtKeen]

Grushnak's Turn 10

Spoiler

Show

Grushnak will activate his tattoo of Metaphysical weapon on his crossbow, increasing its damage by 1. He will then take a 5 ft step to H6. He will ready the action of falling prone under the condition that either Llince or the emberling regain LoS before his next turn.

Need another LoS check. Also, this is a pretty interesting match even if it is long

[SamTheCleric]

High Ref Sam

Line of Sight established!

Grushnak steps to the ledge at H6. Llince and his Emberling are in L/K 9 (which one is you, flymolo?)

Llince had a readied action on the establishment of LoS... as did Grushnak. Llince's resolves first....

Llince?

[FlyMolo]

Wait... I was in J3, so I'm in *alphabetical counting...* L9.

I mainfest mind thrust! Phzow! (1d10)[6] DC 15, as always.

Wait, I am within 25 feet, right?

[LtKeen]

Well Grushnak is 20 feet up. That would likely make you you more than 30 feet away.
As for the Will Save: (1d20+1)[17]
Watch this one fail. Grushnak seems pretty much immune to Mind Thrust

Also, Grushnak's readied action was to fall prone.

Oh, sorry. It's your turn now.

[FlyMolo]

It's actually impossible for me to be in L/k 9. More like L/k 7. In any case, it matters not at all.

I manifest. Roll another DC 15 will save.

Spoiler

Show

But this time It's for Psionic Charm! Bwahahahaha.

Rest of actions predicated on your save.

[LtKeen]

Well let's hope the almighty forum rollers are not angered by my Levitation symantecs discussion. Add +1 to the result if it is a compulsion.
Grushnak's Will Save (1d20+1)[13]
*crosses fingers* either way, I fail. Do you ever run out of PP?

[FlyMolo]

I have like 8. And I only have to spend one to take much less damage. I'm down to... something. 3 or 4.

You're charmed, bru. I shout up that we should go get a drink, on me, in honor of it being saturday. I recommend jumping off into the haystack. Since you're my best friend now, you jump off, and we go get a drink in the Arena bar. I insist that you exit first. "No really, after you." I win on a technicality, and we both go get totally sloshed.

[Bayar]

Ref Bayar

Going out of the arena would tehnically be something against the nature of a gladiator, since it results in a DQ. So I think that a charsma check would be in order.

Precedent:

GM Kyeudo

Someone just had to pull the Charm spells out of the box, didn't they.

Alright, since this is going to be setting precedent, might as well be me doing it.

Since your request is such a large one, Blaize will have to win an opposed Charisma check against Frizz to get him to surrender. Getting someone to agree to such a request seems like it would be a the very edges of the spell's power.

If that fails, Frizz will just try to be fairly helpful for the duration of the spell, meaning he'll do things like vouch for you, give help with a task, etc., but not something like giving you his stock of potions or gear.

[FlyMolo]

(1d20-1)[13]

Here goes nothing. I have another 600 rounds of charmed time. Can I keep trying?

[LtKeen]

Charisma check (1d20-1)[16]

as it reads here
Charm Person, since they are both effectively the same ability.

Spoiler

Show

This charm makes a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally (treat the target’s attitude as friendly). If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.

The spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn’t ordinarily do. (Retries are NOT allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. You must speak the person’s language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.

Retries aren't allowed, though he may still fail. *gulp* Well, let's hope he gets it.

[LtKeen]

Well he won the Charisma check, somehow. Assuming that is his final action in his turn:
Grushnak's Turn 11
Grushnak will continue lying prone, watching Llince. "It sure is great to be up so high. This must be how the tall folk feel."
That'll be all.

[FlyMolo]

"Aren't you going to come down? How are you going to get down, anyway? You had that tattoo to get up, but now what?"

Oooh, idea. I'll go and get backup. Backup inconclusive. Carry on.

[LtKeen]

Assuming that's your actions on your turn...
Grushnak's Turn 12
"Well, If I win, then I'll just get someone to fetch me a potion of Levitate. If I don't win... well... getting down shouldn't be a problem."
