Arena Tournament, Round 94: Cinder vs. Goltoth

[Master_Rahl22]

Odd, I swear I had that I shifted in there for this turn when I posted. Ok, so I'm still in R-14 and have shifted. Your turn.

Now the action begins

Climbing out of water requires a DC 10 climb check. (Does not apply for gradual slopes).

Guess this counts as gradual slope?

Readied triggers once you're out of the water

Gefährlich ist wer Schmerzen kennt,
vom Feuer das den Geist verbrennt,
gefährlich das gebrannte Kind,
mit Feuer das vom Leben trennt,
ein heisser Schrei,

FEUER FREI!

Searing Kelgores Firebolt, (4d6)[6] fire, reflex 15 halves ... the hell?

Immediate: Abrupt Jaunt away from your attack to S5

Turn coming after your save

[Sallera]

I believe we did rule a DC10 climb for getting out of the river here.

... the hell?

It's only making up for the last one.

[Master_Rahl22]

I was wondering if you'd post that song, love it.

Reflex - (1d20-1)[18]

Oh, and I hate Abrupt Jaunt. Just thought you should know. Last post for around 9 hours or so, bedtime.

[Master_Rahl22]

Ok, climb to get out of the river
Climb - (1d20+6)[15]

[TheFallenOne]

It's only making up for the last one.

Well, it's a bit more below average than the other was above( 1122 vs 5555). I just got really confused when I saw a one-digit number there, I mean Cinder calls herself nuker, 6 damage doesn't fit that reputation

I was wondering if you'd post that song, love it.

yeah, let's see if I run out of good fire-themed songs before I burned everyone... may get narrow

[Sallera]

Now that I look, you haven't actually got enough movement for that. 20ft to climb out (quarter speed), and 30ft more to reach T8.

[TheFallenOne]

and successful save, so 3 damage. Almost seppuku-worthy

Cinder Turn 6

Do you like being that... fired up?

(4d6)[11] fire, reflex 15 halves. THis is a non-searing one from the scroll

move to M3

Huh... as it turns out, I don't actually have many songs that fit the theme. Guess pyromania's less common than I thought.

[TheFallenOne]

huh, Eluveitie, nice. Quite a coincidence, only discovered the band couple weeks ago
What's the first one? Can't see it on account of being in Germany.

Well, I have some songs left, though I doubt I'll get through the Round without repetitions

[Sallera]

Oh, it's region-limited? This is the only thing I use the site for, so I don't really pay attention. Anyway, first one is Bloodbirds by Agalloch.

[TheFallenOne]

yeah, complicated. There are a lot of videos you can't see on youtube if your IP is located in Germany and you don't want to trouble yourself with a proxy because GEMA didn't give the license. For example, I can't find a non-live version of Bloodbirds or Sleep now in the Fire on youtube although I'm very sure there are some. Though I don't get the system behind what is inaccessible and what not, most songs I can find just fine(live, official video, with lyrics, AMVs...) unless it's something obscure

[Master_Rahl22]

I'll end my turn at R-11 then. Do we keep the 6 damage roll and my successful save from his readied action since it went off before I made my illegal move? Can we keep the 11 he rolled for damage this time?

[TheFallenOne]

yes the readied stays

so just ending in R11 and no further action? Well, I expected something else

not Rahl

and there I pondered how to counter a readied to move to avoid getting an AoO

[Master_Rahl22]

... and that's the second major mistake I've made this match. The stupid rewind confused me, but at least I didn't have much of a chance to begin with.

well you probably know the answer to this one yeah I know, Abrupt Jaunt is a little silly. 4 Get Out Of Jail Free cards instead of familiar? Deal

once you left the tree square, my readied triggers

It's in my hands
The sky, so bright
It's burning
It's for me to decide

Turn after I see damage and safe

[Master_Rahl22]

Reflex save - (1d20-1)[11]

Yeah, yet another example of melee can't have nice things.

[TheFallenOne]

hey, melee can have very nice things, ask Aberrant Commoner or Sturmherz. Incidentally, both can bypass Abrupt Jaunt, though Sturmherz needs an enlarge potion. If you have enough melee range that a 10 feet jaunt doesn't get the wizard out of range it's whacking time

Well, I believe I need to do 43 damage to put you out(13 base +2 rage +18 potions), that's 40 so far.

And sorry, the Jaunt was to N19, misstype

Cinder Turn 8

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and you obey

That'll do, pig. That'll do. Goltoth is one charred shifter.

I looked up immediate actions, and if I had managed to managed to catch you flat footed that would've worked as well. If I'd bothered to look that up before the match I would've purchased a potion of Invisibility. The only other thing I could've done is ready an action to attack on your turn, forcing you to use an immediate action on your turn and not being able to do so again for a turn. Anyway, good match.

[TheFallenOne]

Quite true, that are the ways to get past the Jaunt. The less cover on the map, the better for Cinder, a stealth character with blunt arrows could give her real trouble. Play against her on this open map or even worse a glass one and you're in trouble

Good game

If at first you don't succeed, burn, burn again - Cinder takes the victory.
