Going by the new posting order suggested, here's my purchases.

Buying 2 martial scripts of saphire nightmare blade. That's it.

I'll buy / roll init after you've bought your stuff.

Seribro · 02-16-2008, 07:09 AM

(1d20-3)[8] Here's my initiative. Still preserving the right to buy stuff. Haven't been able to come online much the past two or three days so my apologies for the hold up.

Bigmac · 02-16-2008, 08:29 AM

init - (1d20-4)[14]

Taleron starts in Y10 with his guisarm in one hand and a martial script in the other.

Seribro · 02-17-2008, 11:00 AM

Well, initiative is yours. Since your not going to use ranged weaponry and the blasted shield has so far been more of an annoyance then a help, I'm gonna leave my tower shield in the bank deposit.

I updated my character sheet with items bought. If your curious about what I purchased since my last match, it is listed on both the items list as the records on the bottom of the sheet.

With that said, may the best gladiator win.

Oh! Before I forget, I begin play with my guisarme in one hand and a stone in the other.

Bigmac · 02-17-2008, 06:17 PM

Taleron reads his script, drops it, and moves to T14 (swimming under the water).

End of turn

I take it since you are beneath the surface, you can't see all that far outside of the water. If you are capable of keeping an LoS, then you lose me out of sight when I move to the small bridge behind the post

Now I'm done. Your turn

Bigmac · 02-18-2008, 09:56 AM

Taleron moves to H15. I figure that should give us LoS.

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 10:34 AM

I assume that, although the post is round, it is acounted as a square building for the matter of whether of cover and moving around corners right?
If that is so, I move 5ft back to G12. Then I activate my dorje.
As a move action, I put my dorje away in the holster on the backside of my pants.
then as a free action, I put my second hand on the guisarme.
your turn

Bigmac · 02-18-2008, 10:58 AM

Taleron 5ft steps to G14 and initiates his saphire nightmare blade technique.

He'll expend his psionic focus to take 15 on it.

Concentration check = 26 > your ac, so you are flatfooted against the attack.

attack - (1d20+9)[18]
damage - (2d4+9)[15]

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 11:42 AM

You make the concentration, but you feel the blade bouncing of on some unseen force and scrape the armor harmlessly

standard action: attack
(1d20+7)[10]
(2d4+9)[16] damage if it hits

then 5-ft step back to H11

Bigmac · 02-18-2008, 12:20 PM

Your attack misses.

Taleron moves to S15 while drawing another martial script.

End Turn.

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 12:40 PM

Psychodelia scratches her head as a free action... "Did he just ran of?"

You see her concentrate real hard for a moment...

Spoiler

... and then all of a sudden run towards the bridge, leaping into the air and then suddenly stopping right there in mid-air at M12 (I ran out of movement before I could reach the end)

jump (1d20+10)[13] vs DC10

Bigmac · 02-18-2008, 03:52 PM

taleron moves to w17 and reads his script. he then drops the script and puts both hands on his guisarme.

end of turn.

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 04:49 PM

move O12-R13, then jump again
(1d20+10)[20] vs DC20

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 04:55 PM

Woohoo! I clear the distance, which means it is an uninterrupted straight line (jumping is part of movement) so that makes this a charge.

striking from U15
Now to see if it strikes home:
attack (1d20+10)[17]
damage (1d10+10)[11]

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 04:59 PM

Hell damn it! Such a cool matrix-follow up-jumping charge and the freakin thing misses! Damnation I tell you!

*sigh*

kay, let me post my stats and then it is all up to you. Right now, my AC is 2 lower then the last time you tried due to the charge attempt, but that's this round only so take your best shot.

Bigmac · 02-18-2008, 05:05 PM

I'm pretty sure that you need to move 20ft in the direction that you are jumping in order for the DC per distance to be reduced. If that's the case you probably splashed down in the water somewhere. I'll go ask another ref to check it out.

I guess that it's close enough to a straight line. To bad W17 is 15ft from U15, so unless your large I don't think you could have hit me anyway.

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 05:15 PM

Weapon reach works different then movement distance. For refference, page 308 DMG.

Bigmac · 02-18-2008, 06:02 PM

Fair enough.

I'll take my best shot. I'll use my saphire nightmare blade maneuver again.

concentration - (1d20+11)[13] Need to beat your AC
attack - (1d20+9)[28] if con check worked, this is vs your flat footed ac, otherwise it has a -2 penalty.
damage - (2d4+9)[14]

Rest of the rounds actions depend on the outcome of the attack.

So the attack hits, but your not flat footed. I guess I'll stay where I am for now.

End of Turn.

Seribro · 02-18-2008, 07:20 PM

That's a clean hit right there. I use 3pp to negate 12 points of damage so you do see the blade draw some blood, just not as much as Taleron had expected.

I attack you back, though without the charge bonus this time.
(1d20+8)[14]
(1d20+10)[20]

rest of my actions depends on whether its a hit or not

edit: wrong damage dice, but it doesn't matter. I missed anyways. 5-ft step to V14

Bigmac · 02-19-2008, 09:11 AM

When you attack Taleron 5ft steps to V18. You still have a move action if you want to take it after Taleron moves.

Seribro · 02-19-2008, 10:11 AM

I'll step to V13-W14

Bigmac · 02-19-2008, 10:22 AM

Ref question:

Does Psychodelia count as squeezing since 1/4 of his space is occupied by a water square? Does it count as difficult terrain when he moves into / out of it?

It doesn't matter right now really, but I am curious as to how it should be treated.

Taleron will charge Psycodelia with his charging minotuar maneuver. He moves to V15 and doesn't provoke AoOs for the move.

We now resolve a bull rush attempt.

bullrush - (1d20+8)[20]

If mine's higher than yours (doubtful) you take damge - (2d6+9)[16]

Seribro · 02-19-2008, 10:35 AM

allright, here comes the stand, I got 60% chance to keep myself standing but my rolls haven't exactly been favourable up to now...

(1d20+11)[30]

Seribro · 02-19-2008, 10:40 AM

yeah! Seems like I keep myself standing just perfectly!
On the brightside though, now that it is my turn again, you see me shrinking back to my old size again in W13. This is not an active termination of the spell, the duration simply runs out :P

(1d20+8)[25] attack
(2d4+10)[18] damage
