LOS is established.

Xerxes is in U13, with javelin and shield in hand.

MitS is in U6, greatsword in hand.

[king korath]

Cool I am in charging range. So I will charge and attack, expending my psionic focus to use Psionic weapon (2d6 extra damage).

attack (1d20+6)[12] (+4 to hit and +2 from the charge.)
damage (3d6+3)[17]

*Note to self, ask opponent to spoiler any charge attack...*
Well I was going to use counter charge but since that was a miss anyway...

Mits round 2 - 2nd to act


The shadows around Mits fades and his bright yellow eyes show only malice, he utters a couple words on an old language causing fire to surround Xerxes from behind. A cold aura surrounds Mits' sword and he moves it so quickly that it becomes as two.

meaning...


No concealment this turn. Mits uses a swift action to initiate distracting ember creating a small fire elemental on U8(assuming Xerxes is on U7) then he uses a standard action to use shadow blade technique

attack1 - (1d20+10)[16](+2 from flank added)
attack2 - (1d20+10)[15]
damage - (2d6+9)[14]

and if both attacks hit
cold damage - (1d6)[4]

your turn.

EDIT: Sigh, a very bad time for a 5 and a 6 in a row

[Morbius]

Sigh, I though you were going to die with that

Ok, I have to say that I was going to use counter charge had I not know the attack result
so roll a str check... if you win your turn happened exactly as you said, if not your attack failed and you didn't spend your psionic focus (sigh)

str check - (1d20+6)[14]

[king korath]

OK, that means my Ac goes back up to 22 and I get a chance for a one-hit kill again.

str (1d20+3)[6]

[Morbius]

Just to remember it is still your turn

[king korath]

what did the str check mean, and how does it affect me.

[Morbius]

The counter charge manuever made your charge fail (so you were never able to attack me and spend psionic focus) and Mits did not change your location after the counter-charge(even if he could).

Then Mits attacked, missed(boop)

And now it's your turn.

[king korath]

OK which means that I can try to one-hit kill you again, so I will try. Attack expending psionic focus for psionic weapon.
attack (1d20+4)[23]
damage (3d6+3)[8]

[king korath]

Potential crit.
roll to confirm (1d20+4)[20]
damage if confirmed (added to damage in post above) (1d6+3)[8]

sorry I got burned once by some one who could recover, So I played it safe, Good game though.

Xerxes is the victor. Treasure and experience are on the right. Painful death on the left. Looks like someone's already gone left.

Well, I CAN recover, but I need to be conscious
