Gestalt Arena practice - Moby Vs Stella

[KevLar]

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.

Moby, Stella. You have been chosen to fight. Prepare yourselves!

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 (10ft, Climb DC20, blocks LoS). 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.


Positions
Moby:
Horizontal Axis: (1d40)[33]
Vertical Axis: (1d40)[25]

Stella:
Horizontal Axis: (1d40)[2]
Vertical Axis: (1d40)[35]

Surprise Round

Stella seems to pray for a moment, apparently to an unspeakably evil god, and then she shouts:
"All right, let's be quick now!"

standard action: Divine Shield

Initiative: (1d20+26)[29]

I believe I am in Y-25 and you in AG-22. How many squares do you cover, again?

[Talic]

The low rumble of a growl fills the arena, causing pebbles across the arena to rattle... Then comes the roared challenge....

IMMA EET YOO!

3x3. So I'm in AG-AI / 22-24

I begin in hybrid form (the form statted out in my char sheet).
I begin with Greataxe in hand.

Stella sees the beast in front of her and charges at it, without any foreplay.

Free action: Divine Might.
Full Round action: Battle Leader's Charge, +10 dmg, no AoO
the attack is a Charging Smite. +39 damage, with Demolishing Strike Smite (tactical option from Awesome Smite feat), ignores DR.
EDIT- With PA 1, so that Demolishing Smite applies.

Smite left: 7 (8 if I miss)
Rebuke left: 17
Divine Shield rounds left: 6

AC: 48 + 2 stance + 1 dodge +13 divine shield = 64

attack: (1d20+51)[60]
damage: (1d8+65)[70]
This attack ignores any DR up to 26, except DR/-
This movement does not provoke AoO

EDIT- I forgot my new item. If it hits, add 13 fire damage.
EDIT2- Sorry again, remove 1 from attack and add 1 to damage.

EDIT3- The dog needs walking. 20 minutes. :)

[Talic]

You triggered my readied action.

Check my "pre battle actions".

Emerald Razor:
Attack: (1d20+33)[50] This is a touch attack.
If hit: (4d6+34)[42]

[Talic]

My Turn.
Fast healing 2, I lose 2 points of damage.
Current damage taken: 82

5 foot step back.

Full round action: Full attack:

Attack 1: Sunder. No AoO (Imp sunder feat)
Opposed attack roll: (1d20+59)[61] (+8 for being 2 size categories larger, +4 for using a 2 handed weapon, +4 for Improved Sunder
If Successful: (4d6+34)[46] (Standard longsword has 10 hardness and 5 hp. A +3 longsword should have 16 hardness and 35 hp.)

Attack 2: Sunder.
Opposed attack roll: (1d20+54)[57]
If successful: (4d6+34)[53]

Further attacks forthcoming, after I see the results of these 2.

EDIT: Well, you have a shot. That's a 2 and a 3 rolled.

[KevLar]

It did hit. Since I'm not down yet, does that mean I get to finish my action?

If the triggered action is part of another character’s activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action.

EDIT- I mean before you unleashed the sundering fury. :)

[Talic]

It did hit. Since I'm not down yet, does that mean I get to finish my action?

Yes. I annotated the 84 damage, and then removed 2 with fast healing.
I followed with the start of my turn, after your charge.

[KevLar]

Basically, your first attack is an automatic success. :)
(And by that, I mean the longsword is sundered.)
You may now use the rest of them to beat me to a pulp there.

[Talic]

The 1st attack doesn't break the weapon, assuming it's +3. If it's only a +2 weapon, it choppifies it.

The 2nd attack, if it hits, will break the weapon, as long as it's less than +5 enhancement bonus.

[Talic]

Assuming the 2nd attack sunders it.

Sundering Cleave: Combat brute. I get an additional attack on you, at the same bonus as the one that cleaved. That's a +28 bonus.

Free Attack: (1d20+28)[48]
If hit: (4d6+34)[42]

Attack 3: (1d20+23)[37]
If hit: (4d6+34)[53]

Done for now.

Free attack hits on a nat 20. Other attack likely misses.

[KevLar]

The second attack is an automatic success too.
Do go on.

[KevLar]

OK, I'm down to 19 hp, less than half means fast healing kicks in so it's now 20. Unless some of that damage was from Power Attack, in which case, the extra damage doesn't apply (Elusive Target).

[Talic]

No, your AC is too high, I'm not gonna Power Attack.

[KevLar]

Round 2

OOC: I hope you will not see this as meta-gaming. You play a beast that shouts "IMMA EET YOO", after all. And I hope you will not see this as cheese. I never meant to use this unless I had no other options.
(Unless you are immune to drain, in which case, never mind. )

Now unarmed, Stella screams in fury, flies up 5 ft in apparent astonishment and dives again. She stretches her incorporeal hand to the beast as if she wants to rip its heart out. Or its ankles, at this height.

spring attack with Draining Touch (Su)
attack: 1d20 + 14 BAB + 13 Slippers + 1 weapon focus (unarmed, from Stone Dragon discipline focus

attack: (1d20+28)[42]
This is an unarmed touch attack (considered magic from slam, if I'm not mistaken).
If it hits, ability drain (1d6)[6] Intelligence.
This movement does not provoke AoO.

Then she dives to the ground, where she disappears.

[with total cover, I'm sliding inside the ground 35 ft west, ending up in AG-17. Bah, I messed up the math again. 5 ft up +10 down, so I have 25 ft left. I end up in AG-19.]

[KevLar]

Wait, important typo. It wasn't a d6, it's a d4. Again:

AC: 48 + 2 stance + 1 dodge +13 divine shield = 64

[Talic]

I do see it just a bit cheesy, but it works.

You currently do not have LOS, so there will be no charging for you.

Swift: Use Sudden Leap. (1d20+39)[52] North.
Standard: Activate Winged boots.
Move: Continue Moving, Ending at C-E/23-25.

Done.

(heal 2 hp)

[KevLar]

Round 3

OOC:
Don't think for a minute that I don't feel bad about it. I do. But without the longsword, there's absolutely nothing I can do except use ghost special attacks or surrender. And I took the two special attacks that are, in fact, attacks, (though the damage dealing one - 1d6! - is completely worthless), because I wanted them to be warrior-like. There are enervating weapons, after all. Horrific Appearance, now that would be cheesy, although entirely legal. After that, it makes perfect sense to try and drain Intelligence from a.. huge.. strangely... deformed... wolf-ogre, instead of, say, strength.
OK, I'm done apologizing. :)

Still underground, Stella moves to the relative safety of AG-17.

Round 5

I believe I can see you. Double move to R-17 (inside the pillar), still 20 ft up, lowering 5 ft (80 ft movement total), hiding half-in-the-pillar (cover, not concealment, I got it wrong again) and looking out.
(A double move doesn't count as running, does it? If so, remove another 15 from the hide check.)
hide: (1d20+38)[47] (with a -5 penalty for moving more than half-speed.)

If at any point my actions are interrupted by something that makes you undetectable (though, with Lifesense and you being Huge, I doubt it), free action to find you.
spot: (1d20+36)[39]

Note: Pillars are 10 feet tall, per Lyndworm. 20 feet up would put you outside one.

And no, double move isn't run.

[KevLar]

Sorry. Then I've been at an altitude of 10 ft all this time, and then I lowered to 5 ft (which is ground level, I guess).

[Talic]

Fair nuff. I maintain my position and readied action.

74 damage.
