Fishy - Jeananne
dman11235 - Chainy

All gladiators please roll initiative

[Fishy]

Battle of the crusaders!

Jeananne will buy a Masterwork Morningstar, and whatever reactive purchases I feel like. Probably nothing.

Init: (1d20+2)[13]

[dman11235]

You have a fun time finding good maneuvers too? I like how we have near identical lists. The only difference is that instead of Vanguard's Strike you have Leading the Attack....which do the same thing: nothing.

No purchases. I'm saving up.

Init: [roll]1d20+2[/roll]

[dman11235]

EDIT in case it's confusing: My rolls were messed up until now, so I'm using this post for my actions, but my initiative roll is in the next post. The original text for this post was the next two lines. After that (starting "Here, I'll use this one") is text written after the roll in the next post./EDIT

Curses! I forgot the end tag....

[roll0]

Here, I'll use this one. Yay I go first!

Start in a square (one of the leading ones...doesn't matter which), and double move to P10, spiked chain drawn.

Wow, that's a suspicious number of misplaced rolls and edited posts. I'll believe it was just an accident, but try and be more careful next time?

Jeananne Round 1

Move action: head to Q10, taking advantage of your temporary inability to AoO. Thanks, round 1 Sanctuary!

Speaking of, can I use a Bluff check to Feint In Combat without violating the Sanctuary? If so,

Standard Action: "Halt, Evildooer! For the wrath of the Platinum Dragon is... ohnolookouthe'srightbehindyou!"
Bluff (Opposed by Sense Motive + BaB) (1d20-3)[11]

If not, I'll just stand there and proselytize for a standard action.

For refs:

Swift action: Activate Martial Spirit stance.

Maneuvers:

2: Douse The Flames
3: Stone Bones
4: Leading The Attack
5: Crusader's Strike

With 1 as Charging Minotaur, and counting down, skipping over previously granted maneuvers, (1d5)[3] and (1d4)[1] are granted.

High Ref Morbius


Well since entangle and color spray are allowed, I don't see why Feint should not be allowed, only direct attacks are banned.

So Chainy please roll you sense motive.

[dman11235]

I'm not sure that's an exactly believable bluff......but here is my roll. And it won't fail this time! Btw, did it really even matter which of us went first? I don't normally mess up on rolls....and now I know that posting too early is a bad thing. Stupid 60 second rule.....

(1d20+1)[15]

[dman11235]

I forgot BAB...sorry, that's a 16.

[Fishy]

It's a feint, not a bluff. You don't have to believe it, you just have to be distracted for a second.

Over in the waiting room, Kyeudo seems to think Feint is an attack, but I suppose it doesn't matter for this match if the Sense Motive worked out. Anyway. Your turn?

[dman11235]

Yeah. Anyways.......

Failure and I go splat, success and I can't beat a 23, so I won't even bother with the re-trip.

EDIT: Hunh. What happens on a tie, again?

[dman11235]

Often in things like this (initiative) it goes to the highest modifier, but sometimes it's a re-roll. I shall research.
