Arena Tournament, Round 30: Psychodelia vs Taleron - Page 2

I take a 5-ft step forward to W14 and let my right hand go of the glaive so it is free to punch away at close range

your turn

Bigmac · 02-19-2008, 10:58 AM

5ft step / swim to U14 and attack with steely strike

attack - (1d20+13)[21]
damage - (2d4+9)[14]

Seribro · 02-19-2008, 11:45 AM

Okay, time to finish this
Immediate action to soak all the damage dealt
I then use a move to reach you. You’re entitled to a AoO when I leave your threathened area, but not when enter your square since you have no close combat weapons deployed (cant use unarmed strike for AoO’s).
During move I drop my guisarme as a free action in V14
I then initiate a grapple so touch attack: (1d20+7)[17]
Opposed grapple: (1d20+7)[10]
If it’s a success, I may deal (1d2+3)[4] damage (I would normally deal 1d4+6, but water halves it)

sorry about that, the forum engine is getting over clogged again. To bad though, these scores were a lot more favourable

Bigmac · 02-19-2008, 01:02 PM

Here's the AoO for when you leave W14

attack - (1d20+9)[10]
damage - (2d4+9)[12]

and here's my opposed grapple

opposedgrapple - (1d20+8)[19]

Bigmac · 02-19-2008, 01:09 PM

Taleron will drop his guisarm as a free action, then draw his flail and attack using his wolf fang strike. He'll weild the flail with both hands for the first attack and then use his armor spikes with his off hand for the other attack.

attack - (1d20+7)[11]
dmage - (1d8+9)[12]

attack - (1d20+7)[15]
damage - (1d6+3)[5]

Edit: I seem to have angered the dice myself. Sheesh. We both have massive attack bonuses but can't his a barn.

Forgot: End of Turn.

Seribro · 02-19-2008, 01:44 PM

Indeed, if this were a real life fight, it probably looked pretty humorous and pathetic

5-ft step to U13
move action: draw heavy flail
standard action: knock your lights out (hopefully)
(1d20+7)[11]
(1d10+9)[14] (gets devided by 2)

Taleron drinks his potion, drops it to the ground, moves to F20 and readies his sheild as he does so.

End of Turn.

Seribro · 02-20-2008, 11:00 AM

move to P19, jump check to N20 (1d20+10)[26] vs DC 20
lets see if I make it first
that looks like a successful jump to me. Activate expansion power for 1pp
end of turn, I'm a giant again standing in L19-N20

edit: I just looked up your file and OMFG... You just took beastland ferocity, didn't you? if I hit you, you just get extra strong and have another 10hp to keep you standing... Until your timer runs out. A gamble, but an admirable one.

Bigmac · 02-20-2008, 11:25 AM

Taleron swings his flail around a bit then moves to A17.

Did that attack take into account the -2 to attacks underwater?

Bigmac · 02-20-2008, 01:06 PM

Regardless, Taleron will try to initiate a grapple with you. He'll fight defensivly as he does so.

touchattack - (1d20+4)[16]
grapple - (1d20+8)[28]

If I manage to grapple you I will move into your square and deal damage with my armor spikes
damage - (1d6+6)[10]

Also, note that only slashing / bludgeoning damage is halfed, piercing damage is uneffected.

Seribro · 02-20-2008, 01:33 PM

Ah... crap... then that was only a 20 on the to hit roll, which I'm guessing, would be a miss?
Well, I do get an AoO however

(1d20+6)[8]
(1d4+7)[9]

Bigmac · 02-20-2008, 01:35 PM

Yep, looks like both attacks missed.

Seribro · 02-20-2008, 01:48 PM

Wait a sec. Didn't you say pierce was excepted? Well the spiked gauntlet is a piercing weapon, so it doesn't get the penalty which means I most certainly did hit you! And for a wooping 8 points! I don't know by head at what that leaves you, but it can't be fancy. Also, while the beastland ferocity allows you to continue fighting without penalty, it doesn't say it stops the bleeding. So not only did I hit you, you also are now bleeding to death.

On the bright sight though, this does mean the damage you dealt wasn't 10 points but 12 thanks to your increased strength...

... which I soak for 3pp :P

And I'ld like to make an opposed grapple check to see if I can put you out of your missery

(1d20+7)[14] opposed grapple check
(1d4+7)[10] damage if I win the grapple check

Bigmac · 02-20-2008, 02:10 PM

Hmm, I thought it was -2 to all attacks (even the tail has -2 to it) but slahs / bludgeon have damage halfed. That chart is way confusing.

At any rate

opposedgrap - (1d20+10)[16]

Bigmac · 02-20-2008, 02:14 PM

Looks like Taleron is still standing. This round Taleron will be at -6hp. Time to try and finish this.

Taleron will let go of Psychodelia and attack with is wolf fang strike. He will use his armor spikes for both attacks.

attack1 - (1d20+8)[26]
attack2 - (1d20+8)[16]

damage1 - (1d6+8)[12]
damage2 - (1d6+4)[9]

Seribro · 02-20-2008, 02:14 PM

which is why I never liked water encounters. Should have placed the sinking island in a lake of lava...

Oh well, let me post my stats and then it is all yours again. Your now literally fighting the clock.

Seribro · 02-20-2008, 02:21 PM

And I think that settles this match. Though I have to say, it was a very active and intense one.

Bigmac · 02-20-2008, 02:26 PM

Yep, I guess that's it. I think I relied to heavily on my one shot win technique (if the saphire mind had connected you would be flat footed, thus unable to soak the damage.) Unfortunatly I missed on both, so I was ill prepared to slug it out (forgot to buy my quickdamages). I think the only reason this match lasted this long was due to horredous rolling on both parts. Ah well, gg.

Seribro · 02-20-2008, 02:45 PM

Just one little question out of curiosity. Where is it stated you can't take an immediate action while flat-footed? I can imagine running into this more often (invisible opponents for example) so I'ld like to know for future fights

Bigmac · 02-20-2008, 03:15 PM

SRD under the immedeate action entry.
