Krux - Tortise262
Andek Firebeard - Dragonstar

All Combatants, please roll initiative.

[Dragonstar]

Guh? I didn't think we'd have to face off again this soon...

I'll make some purchases before I roll initiative.

[Tortoise262]

So, we meet again!
(1d20+1)[19]

Just doublechecking: you can buy stuff in between matches, right? I threw on some banded mail to replace the scale mail. And you can also purchase between initiative and the first action, right?

[Mavian]

Yep, you can purchase anything your heart desires between the last action of your last match, and the first action of your next match. Note, for arena purposes, initiative doesn't count as an action.

[Dragonstar]

Sorry, Saturday and Sunday are my main posting days, and my girlfriend wanted to go shopping yesterday. Priorities, you know.

initiative - (1d20+5)[20]

[Dragonstar]

For refs:

Spoiler

Begin in B11, moving straight forward and begin climbing the rock pillar section of G11. climb - (1d20+4)[10] and then will continue to climb up on the next round - how high are these things anyway?

Done.

[Tortoise262]

@ Refs:

Spoiler

Riding warhorse, lance, banded mail, and heavy shield are equipped.
Move to S/T 2/3 and ready a melee attack if my opponent comes within 10 feet.

HP: 14/14
AC: 19 (touch 11)

Spot: (1d20-5)[11]
Listen: (1d20-5)[9]

Is it possible to ready a standard-action charge? According to RAW, it doesn't seem possible, unless I were restricted to just a standard action. Am I to understand, then, that I could ready a charge if I drank a potion of slow?

[Morbius]

High Ref Morbius

Tortoise262

Spoiler

You can only ready standard, move and free actions and charging is normally not a standard action... however there are some magic items/feats around that might help you ready an charge
A very interesting idea indeed, I think I will consider that for a couple of my characters

[Paladin Latham]

@Tortoise:

Spoiler

Readying an action takes a standard action and can be either a standard action, a move action or a free action. Charging is a full-round action and thus cannot be readied.

Edit: Ninja'd!

[Dragonstar]

Tortoise, have you finished your turn?

[Morbius]

Ref Morbius

It's your turn Dragonstar, he just had a rules question

[Dragonstar]

Actions:

Spoiler

Attempt a climb vs. DC 15, using both move actions.
climb - (1d20+4)[14]
climb - (1d20+4)[23]

[Dragonstar]

@Refs:

Spoiler

No progress on the first climb, move one quarter my movement on the 2nd, so I'm 5ft up on the wall. How tall are these ledges? I don't see it anywhere...

Pass the turn.

[Bayar]

Ref Bayar

@Dragonstar:

Spoiler

It does not say in the map description...but it says scalable on a succesful clinb check...I could be wrong, but they could just be climbed in one go...scalable on a climb check...but again, I might be wrong...

[Tortoise262]

My Turn:

Spoiler

Waiting for LOS check. If no LOS, then I remain where I am and take Total Defense. If yes LOS, then we'll see.

[Talic]

Initiate ref Talic
Just as a point of note, it makes it easier to provide prompt LoS checks if you post location clearly on every action you take. Many players post a stat section at the bottom of each of their turns with relevant AC information, position, and other pertinent info (such as maneuvers readied, spells memorized, and the like).

Krux

Spoiler

No LOS

Andrek

Spoiler

No LOS

[Tortoise262]

@Ref:

Spoiler

Alrighty then, I take full defense as I said..

Position: S/T 2/3
HP: 14/14

@tortoise

Spoiler

no los, which you know

@dragonstar

Spoiler

no los

Dragonstar, your turn.

[Dragonstar]

Oh good, I was wondering when I could go.

Spoiler

If the bayar's ruling stands, I am standing on the top of the pillar in G11. How far above ground level am I and are you sure then that I have no LoS? I plan to ready a full round action to flurry of blows with shuriken as soon as he is within 20ft.

You may go pending Ref's reply.

[Morbius]

High Ref Morbius

Dragonstar

Spoiler

You can't ready a full round action, only standard action, move action, etc.
Also the rock pillar is 15 feet tall (someone needs to add that to the front page ¬¬)
And finally remember that if you fail a climb check by 5 or more you will fall

[Tortoise262]

My Turn:

Spoiler

If still no LoS: Move to S/T 4/5 and ready a lance attack if my opponent comes within 10 feet.

If I see him, then I will charge, if possible. If I see him and can't charge, then I'll move within 10 feet and attack.

Start Position: S/T 2/3
End Position: ??
HP: 14/14
AC: 19 (touch 11)

[Tortoise262]

Also:

Spoiler

Spot: (1d20-5)[4]
Listen: (1d20-5)[13]

[Mavian]

@Krux

Spoiler

No LoS

@Andek

Spoiler

No LoS. As was previously mentioned, they walls are 15 high, which means you have 10 feet to go to reach the top.

[Dragonstar]

Addendum to my previous round actions thanks to Mavian:

Spoiler

climb - (1d20+4)[19]
climb - (1d20+4)[9]

Aaaaannnd... failure by 6 on the 2nd stretch, which means I fall.

[Dragonstar]

Addendum continuing:

Spoiler

tumble - (1d20+5)[18] vs DC15 to avoid 10ft falling damage...
damage - (1d6)[3] if I fail.

[Dragonstar]

Okay, now my actual turn!

Spoiler

Double move to L17, dodge target my opponent. All stats per sheet except AC +1.

You may go.

[Tortoise262]

Haha, I can't wait until this match is over so I can see what the crap is going on...

Turn:

Spoiler

Start Position: S/T 4/5

If no LOS: Move to G/H 5/6 and ready a lance attack.

Again, if I see him, then I will charge, if possible. If I see him and can't charge, then I'll move within 10 feet and attack.

Start Position: S/T 4/5
End Position: G/H 5/6 ??
HP: 14/14
AC: 19 (touch 11)

[Dragonstar]

Spoiler

Move to N12 - ready a standard, if he gets within 20' of me I'll throw a shuriken.

You may go.

[Tortoise262]

Do I have LOS yet?

[Kyeudo]

GM Kyeudo

LoS is established. Krux is at G5-H6, Andek is at N12.
