Arena Tournament, Round 49: Kor Battleborn and MitS vs Leaf and Cyn

[Maurkov]

So a standard action by the taker? Alright. Looks like the giver doesn't have to spend an action to take the item in hand, since disarm can grab unsecured items, too.

Looks like Leaf could start with his shield slung and make two disarms to seize the scrolls. The twf penalties don't mean anything, unopposed.

Leaf begins in square Z13 with the scroll of ESNAII in hand, shield on the other. Max (Animal Companion) is in Y13. Bud (mount) is staying home.

Leaf uses Handle Animal to give Max the 'Guard' command (free action; auto success). He begins casting the scroll (full round). Caster Level Check DC6 CLC - (1d20+2)[3]. Possible Wisdom Check DC5 to avoid mishap Wis - (1d20+3)[20]. Possible Mishap damage damage - (2d6)[6]*

*Hopefully it won't matter, but the metamagic doesn't increase the spell level, so I maintain it's only 2 dice.

Cyn has beaten my hide check? Since alterform is saying that he has to resolve something I guess whatever ready action he had triggered

Cyn spot - (1d20-6)[7] against DC 12 (+1 skill, -7 for 70-ft range penalty)
I originally lost track of whose checks were what and wound up assigning Leaf's spot check to Cyn as well.

Issue resolved. See post 40.

[Morbius]

hummmm. done ... next!

[Maurkov]

Morbius, did you take actions after the LoS or is that position still valid?

@cyn (whispered)

Spoiler

Show

I see MitS at the top level of the ziggurat, at the SW pillar. If you can spare the attention, please drop that ESNAII scroll over here. (I think a move action from each of us is cheaper than Leaf spending a whole standard.) I'm going to speak with Max (the dog) so that we know if Kor is using invisibility in an attempt to get first blood.

Action

Spoiler

Show

Delay. (Until Cyn acts, or speaks such that it changes Leaf's mind.)

Stat block

Spoiler

Show

I don't think they change from here until Leaf takes an action. But since his delay rolls over to the new round, I could be wrong. Refs, let me know if you need me to re-roll passive sense checks.

[Morbius]

it's valid...

what about your actions?


EDIT: This is to help any ref with LOS checks:

[Maurkov]

Leaf may have said something, but he took no visible actions.

Nodding towards his teamate, he draws out the scrolls at his side and then drops them at leaf's feet.

Mits -between rounds

Free action to look back and say:
"They are right where they started, they have not moved so far"

[Maurkov]

Hang on, Morbius. Leaf will stop delaying when Cyn acts. His Init changes from 8 to 15.

@cyn

Spoiler

Show

Oh. Oops. In that case I don't need the scroll yet.

I was hoping you'd just drop the one and keep your readied action. I thought Leaf would have this turn to pick up(move action) and cast speak with animals (standard), then use his next full round to summon the mount. Instead, I'll just try this scroll again. If the casting is successful, you may need to delay until the mount appears (acting before Leaf on Init 15), grab a scroll (move) and mount up (move). Leaf will grab a scroll (move) mount up (move) and the mount's action will wisk us to safety... If Leaf doesn't blow another caster level check.

I'm guessing that MitS saying 'over his shoulder' is misdirection. Kor is probably right there, invisible. I'm just hoping he's not close enough to disrupt the spell.

Delay? You said nothing about delay

Isn't that a visible action? Like reading?

But that is a moot point now... only difference is that the Mits speaking part will take place after Leaf's action with whatever adjustment needed

[Maurkov]

Being inaction, I hadn't thought of delay being a visible action. Could you tell if someone was delaying vs. making active listen checks? Manifesting psionically? Sorry if you were mislead.

[Morbius]

The same is valid for ready action :P you do nothing until the trigger happens but for some reason people say that it's visible here. (actually I always had a problem with this rule)

[stupnick]

i agree with you as well about that mobius.. i don't know how it's visible either....

[Maurkov]

Either way, your initiative didn't come up between when Leaf started his delay and when he took his action, so lets move on. I'll be explicit next time.

Kor's turn, right?

[Morbius]

Yes it is...

[Talic]

High Ref Talic

I 'think' that this gives away Mits position or at least entitles anyone to make a listen check to know that he is at.

Note that A successful listen check allows you to hear a sound, not to pinpoint it. In order to look in Morbius's spoiler block from this post due to a listen check, players must beat the listen DC by 20, which will pinpoint the sound.

Refs can determine whether you've done so, based on relevant match factors.

My turn ?
