Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
Seeing the monk out numbered on the bridge, Shui Jin charges forward, stopping just out of reach of the firebender and lashes at him with his fire whip.
Spoiler
This'l probably kill me, but whatever. I'll go out in a far more awesome way than the guy I crit'd at the start.
charge to m12. If I have to go all the way to him with a charge, go ahead and stick me at k12 and ignore the fluff. attack with fire whip (only 15ft long, failed the check to make it 20)
atk(1d20+3)[13] (+2 for charge)
If I'm allowed to make a trip attempt with a fire whip (I don't know why not, hot feet would be as unstable as wrapped feet), here's my Strength check(1d20+1)[14]
if not;
dmg(1d6+1)[5]
confirm(1d20+3)[19]
Spoiler
damn, if only I could switch my confirm and my attack...:( should have made that an aid another

Yan strikes out at the waterbender with his weapons. (If the waterbender dies from my first attack, then my second attack will be aimed at the firebender)
Finally?Says Jin, a bit indignantly, In case you didn't remember, there were 4 enemies to start with
Spoiler
hee. banter. Also, sort of a minor thing, but in China, and I think Japan, I can't remember, a person's surname is traditionally placed before their informal, so Shui Jin's "first name" would technically be Jin. Though, I suppose they don't really do that much in the avatar world; the only one given multiple names who doesn't use all of them at once every time is Toph

Eep, I'm at one! 5-2=3, plus 6-2 equals 4, and I have 8 hp. well, one now. But I'm not dead! Also, can I charge to K12 or so? K14, if the water isn't too deep? If so, I do that, hitting whichever one is closest. (1d20+7)[20](2d4+7)[12]Elseways, Double move to threaten the pair of benders (K12)
Holding his sword in both hands, Arijin bounds across the intervening space, skidding to a halt in front of the enemy benders, brandishing his sword.

since init order would have Arijin acting before me, I'll retcon my move to L11, my whip should still be able to reach E2 from there. 'm at 3HP, by the way

....Sorant begins to get nervous of his allies' talk of 'killing' their opponents and 'finishing off' the waterbender. He had always thought that this opposing group was to be respected and competed against, not eliminated. Nevertheless, he sees that no death has taken place and realizes that these two opponents can still be very effective, as they hold a choke point in the battlefield. It's time to turn that choke point into a cage.
....With all enemies in close proximity out of the way, Sorant makes a dash to the river's shore and makes a deft leap over the waters, getting into a good position to take a shot at either of the combatants hoping to break away from his friends' frontal assault.

Basically, I take a move action to make it to I16, taking 10 on the DC 10 Jump check over the river and passing with a 14. After that, I prepare an action to attack the first opponent to get out of melee, so as not to suffer the -4 to attack roll. If neither of them breaks melee, then I'll take my shot at the waterbender to spare her the pain of lethal damage, as Sorant associates her with his sister.
Displaying an unearthly speed and grace, Sorant bounds forward and leaps across the stream, landing lightly on his toes on the other side. There he waits for an opportunity to strike.
Arijin, meanwhile, draws in a deep gasp of air as his wounds smart, but he musters up his strength and charges forward, reaching the bridge and thrusting his greatsword forward at the firebender in front of him, who gasps in pain before slumping to the ground (ouch, greatswords HURT).
Almost simultaneously, Shui Jin runs forward and takes his place behind Arijin, only to find that his intended target has already been dispatched.
The final remaining opponent, the female waterbender, sees her self completely outnumbered and out maneuvered, and raises her hands in surrender, the water she had previously readied for an attack splashing down into the stream.
I can see when I’m beaten. Well fought. Please, allow me to attend to my comrades.
She moves to each of her companions in turn, immersing her hands in water from her waterskin which glows momentarily before sinking into the wounds of the fallen warriors. They gasp as their wounds are knit back together, and sit up painfully. When this is finished, she offers similar services to those of your party who have been injured in the fighting.

And that’s the battle! Well done, one and everyone. I hope that the combat was enjoyable and illuminating, and I apologize for my tardiness in posting the results of round 1.
If anyone has any comments they need to make about the system, I’ve started a new analysis thread. Check it out!
Sorant smiles kindly. This girl is so much like his sister; the thick black curls, a skilled waterbender, she's even learning to heal! It's been almost two years since he's been home...
...Wait a moment.
"Alma?! Alma! You're here!"
Rushing forward, Sorant engulfs his younger sister in a bear hug, immensely proud of her attitude and application of her waterbending. After a long embrace, he lets her go and starts asking and answering questions on how they both got to be in the Avatar Arena Games.

You totally set this up, Meph. Nicely done.
You don't actually have to answer this post, but I'd like to make a level 10 version of Alma for later on, so might as well have some backstory.

Also, can I charge to K12 or so? K14, if the water isn't too deep? If so, I do that, hitting whichever one is closest.
