In between rounds all I bought was a potion of SoF and a potion of CLW

[Dr Bwaa]

Tordek the Bloody, round 1

Tordek drops into a ready stance in Y13, quaffing a potion and grabbing another, but he stays firmly where he is. He's also holding a greatsword.

Hold for 2 seconds. LoS is established, just need a clarification.

Tordek

When you enter N19/O20, that is when LoS is established. You see Dusker in A2. If you want to change the last portion of your move, you are entitled.

Dusker is in A2

Tordek is first seen in N19/O20, but still has move left.

Tordek needs to state where he finishes his move, then the turn will pass to Dusker.

Tordek ends his movement in K/L 17/18.

Inside your spoiler what does SNB stands for?

Just a minor clarification, no need to step the match(yet)

[Dr Bwaa]

Tordek the Bloody

Refs

Spoiler

Show

SNB is Sapphire Nightmare Blade; I abbreviated it because I'd already written it once and it's an unreasonably long name

My move stays the same, but by casting a spell you trigger an immediate action for Tordek to shout, What is it with ye cowards an' yer spellcastin'?!

I always thought that readying maneuvers worked like prepping spells, you could ready the same maneuver ten times if you were really in love with it. Upon looking around in the TOB for confirmation, though, I can't find any good definitive evidence either way. So, though I'd appreciate it if you found something concrete, I'll just believe you for now anyway, and either delete that maneuver or ready Stone Bones instead, whichever you wish.

All right then...
1st

Correct. You can only ready each Maneuver once.

2nd TOB page 40

When you initiate a manuever, it is expended- you cannot use it again until you recover it..

I hope that is enough, and yes, just add another manuever

[expirement10K14]

Tordek stands in D/E 3/4, while Dusker stands in J1, giving each of you LoS.

Continue your fight to the death.

Actually since my readied action went off before the end of your turn, it places me just ahead of you in the initiative count, but that readied action was the only action I got in round 5. Thus I act just before you in Round 6. But anyway, it makes little difference

Probably wouldn't have bought the potion of enlarge at all if I'd remembered at the time how much it kills your AC. That swing would have missed me at normal size :) Good fight.
