Gestalt Arena Match 15

[playswithfire]

A towering figure in a dark robe enters the room where you have been milling around sizing up the competition. His face is completely obscured by his hood. He raises both hands to get your attention and speaks in a deep voice.
Wild Wing, Korbesh
With that he brings his hands down and the two of you find yourself transported to the arena

OOC:
You've got time for one swift action and one standard action before you get transported in case you need to adopt a stance or activate an item.

On the map, green is open terrain, yellow is difficult terrain, red/brown is the cliffs. Arena has a 60 foot ceiling.

Opening post should have an initiative roll, anything you said after he called your name and what, if anything you did with the 'surprise round' before being transported. After that, start fighting in initiative order.

Some distance away stands Kortesh, an auburn-haired human armed with a gleaming falchion. His form is disguised by a deep green shawl with an intricate vine pattern.

After hearing his name called, Kortesh focuses his senses. Drawing in a breath, his form shimmers and contracts. Suddenly, Kortesh is a man no longer. Now a Will-o Wisp, he blinks into obscurity.

The twisted bat-thing known as Wildwing takes to the air with a feral howl, muttering incomprehensible syllables of power to activate his combat gear.

Free action: Activate Feral Trance.
Swift action: Activate Winged Vest.
Standard action: Activate 3 charges of Scout's Headband for true seeing effect.

Kortesh rushes toward his foe and speaks. "Come to me, little bat. I've a game to play."

"With pleasure!" Wildwing bolts forward with alarming ferocity, stretching out into a shadowy blur and vanishing as he pounces on the will-o-wisp.

Free action: Activate Rage, Shifting
Swift action: Initiate Cloak of Deception
Full-round action: Pouncing Charge to Q-R 18-19; full attack with 15' reach

Unarmed Strike #1: (1d20+39)[56] for (3d6+34)[47]
Unarmed Strike #2: (1d20+34)[45] for (3d6+34)[43]
Unarmed Strike #3: (1d20+29)[40] for (3d6+34)[42]

Cold Iron Dagger #1: (1d20+32)[48] for (1d6+32)[33]
Cold Iron Dagger #2: (1d20+27)[38] for (1d6+32)[37]
Cold Iron Dagger #1: (1d20+22)[28] for (1d6+32)[35]

Claw: (1d20+28)[42] for (1d6+14)[16]
Bite: (1d20+27)[40] for (1d8+9)[12]

Wildwing is invisible, so add +2 to all attacks if Kortesh does not have Blind-Fight or the ability to see invisibility.

[Lyndworm]

All but one of the attacks hit, dealing 223 damage. In Kortesh's current form, that would kill him. Good job.

So you know, you can't use a Swift action the same round as a Full-Round action, so I didn't factor in the invisibility. Not that it changed much.

[TeeEl]

So just out of curiosity, what kind of nastiness do you have on hand to dish out if Wildwing hadn't taken you down?

[Lyndworm]

Pretty standard Wildshape breaks. I was thinking cryohydra, 'cause of the regeneration, breath weapon, and multi-headed goodness. Nothing outstanding, really.
