Dropping Cause Fear and 5 turn attempts to cast a Heightened (5th level) Sleep at Tordek. Will Save DC 18.

Tordek, you'll need to make a will save.

End of Turn

[Mushroom Ninja]

By the way, I forgot to mention, I meant to have my morningstar and shield out. If it's too late to have them out for free, that's okay, but if I can start with them out, that would be great.

[Dr Bwaa]

Tordek the Bloody

OOC (anyone may read)

Spoiler

Show

By Moradin's Hammer, Tordek was not born to make Will saves! This is going to go very bad very fast =D

Will Save - (1d20+1)[13]

I'll wait until I find out what's happened to me or not to take my turn.

[Mushroom Ninja]

DC Was 18, Now you're asleep.

[Dr Bwaa]

Mmm, unfortunate. Let me know if I wake up

[Mushroom Ninja]

Sleep lasts 1min/level so it should be in 10 rounds

okay, since you probably can't do anything else this turn, i'll take mine.

Frank the Tank

Free Action: Silly little fleshman, sleep in bed, not in arena

Full Round: Run to R1

End turn

[Dr Bwaa]

Tordek the Bloody

I snore profusely.
Perform: Snore - (1d20-2)[9]

End of turn.

[SamTheCleric]

High Ref Sam

Sleep has a casting time of 1 round, which means the spell did not go off immediately. Tordek would've gotten a round to act before your spell "goes off." Let's rewind this back to that turn where you cast a spell in post #9, you can change your intended actions or keep them as is.

[Dr Bwaa]

Whee! Tordek gets another chance!

[Mushroom Ninja]

okay, then it's tordek's turn... Right?

yeah, i keep my actions the same

[Dr Bwaa]

So you're still in F1? I'll proceed assuming you are.
Tordek the Bloody

Free Action:
Why the holdup? I can lollygag too, ya know!

Swift Action:
Tordek drops into a low stance, focused entirely on his opponent.

Rest of turn:
Double-move to R2.

Free Action:
I'll wait righ' here for ya!

Spoiler

Show

Tordek adopts the Stance of Clarity, granting him +2 AC against Frank. He is also now Dodging Frank, making his AC 19.

End of Turn.

[Mushroom Ninja]

So now, on my turn, I don't have a Line of effect on him, do I?

[SamTheCleric]

Correct, you do not have line of effect to him. Sleep is a 10' radius burst, however.

Take that however you will.

[Mushroom Ninja]

Frank the Tank

Free action: Lollygag... that's a pretty big word for a little guy

Standard Full Round Action:
Casting a spell with a burst radius centered on R1.

Spoiler

Show

Sleep, dropping shield of faith and 5 turn attempts to cast as a 5th level spell

Okay, unless I've got somthing wrong on how the burst works, make a will save (DC 18),.

[Dr Bwaa]

here goes nothing.
Will Save - (1d20+1)[18]

[Dr Bwaa]

Tordek the Bloody

Unless I am much mistaken, Tordek remains standing (assuming that was still sleep, right?).
