Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 12:58 AM	Before you stands massive walls of stone. Carved from the very mountain itself, this place is large enough to fit battling wyrms. Within, the walls are lined with the banners of the various guilds. A seat carved of black stone sits in the center of the far arena wall. In this seat, The Green Wonder himself has sat himself. A lover of combat, he will watch over the fights that take place here. The arena itself is a large area, seats lining it's walls. A beautifully crafted building. As legend goes, the top of this mountain was sliced apart and hurled to the earth below by The Green Wonder. From then, Orcy had an arena carved out of its top, helping with the work himself. Now it stands atop the very same mountain. It is still used today to solve differences between guilds and other groups that do not wish to go to war. The old arena lies desolate these days. The dust gathers upon the stadium seats, and the arena remains locked. A lone figure walks up the long and winding path to the arena doors. Slowly he comes to a stop before the massive building. Running a cold metal hand over the carvings upon the door he nods. Pulling forth a key from his cloak he brings it to the arena door. Red light flows through the carved door. A glowing eye symbol flashes bright before the doors creak and their stone mass slides itself open. Quickly the arena is cleaned by something unseen. The arena floor becomes lit, but the light has no source. The man enters, walking up the stairs and taking a seat upon the arena's throne. Removing his hood, Orcy looks out across the arena and nods to himself. It was time once again for combatants to enter these walls and do battle. Honor, pride, courage and strength would once more be show within these towering walls. It was time, once more. Rising from the throne Orcy's hands stretched out, his voice echoing through the halls and the surrounding lands and countryside. "Brothers and Sisters. Warriors, mages, priests and all others who would seek to test themselves. I, known to you as Orcy the Green Wonder, call you forth. These Arena walls are once again ready to recieve you. Come forth! All ye who wish to prove your strength, your courage, your bravery and honor. Come to this place, for I open the floors. Those of you who wish the title of Gladiator here in this arena, come forth to do battle. The winner of this combat shall be given such a title, and all benefits that go along with it." ((OOC: Orcy is re-opening the arena as the Games are supposedly started now... There are 6 slots for combatants to sign up in. The first 6 people to come and post seeking to take part in the battle will be given a slot. Once the slots are full, Orcy will set a date for the battle. The winner of the battle will be the first Gladiator of the arena. The benefits involved are not yet decided on as far as Orcy knows. He has requested any information on what they'll choose to give. So lets kick this thing off with a nice big battle. Orcy will be posting the rule in the following post.))
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 12:58 AM	The Mountain Top Arena Rules: General Rules: Any item resulting in the instant death or the instant subdual of an opponent is not allowed in combat until 8 rounds have passed. Any spell or ability resulting in the instant death or the instant subdual of an opponent is not allowed in combat until 6 rounds have passed (this includes any spells that force an opponent to surrender). Combat begins with no weapons, wands, staves, and other such items drawn. No spells may be active on a character before combat begins. This includes magic item abilities that are not permanent. The combatants must agree on the number of combatants to take part in the battle. If a number cannot be agreed upon, no combat will take place. Interruptions in combat will not be allowed. Any who interrupts a battle will be asked to leave the arena. If they fail to comply they will be forcibly removed. Combatants may not take part in two consecutive battles, however special acceptions may be made during events. Any combatant who surrenders during a knock-out battle must be granted mercy. In a battle to the death, 1/4 of the losers wealth in GP shall be given to the winner. The other 3/4ths shall be given to the guild of his choice. This guild must be decided before the battle. At any one time there will be 4-6 gladiators employed by the Arena. (Still trying to decide wether their payment will come only from the battles they fight or if they'll get pay based on turns.) Battle will be by standard dungeons and dragons rules. Rolls will be made using Invisible Castle (http://invisiblecastle.com/index.php) using the character's name and his/her actions under the notes section (along with the date perhaps). Movement upon the battlefield will be done using the grids listed below. Each square represents five feet on the battlefield. For example, a character standing in square C3 moves 30ft to the east and the opposite end of the arena. They would end their move in square C9. This should be placed at the end of the players movment section of their post. Characters using a fly spell or a natural ability to fly may only move upt to 100ft above the arena floor. Battle Types: Knock out: A battle that continues until one combatant (or team) is left standing. Death: A battle that continues until one combatant (or team) is left alive. Physical Combat: Only physical attacks may be made in this type of battle. Magic or spell 'creating' items (Wands, Scrolls, Staves, etc.) are not allowed. The opponents begin 60ft apart. Mage Duel: Only magical attacks are allowed in this type of battle. Physical combat is not allowed. If a combatant runs out of spells, they must wait until their opponent is out, then they will both be granted their full range of spells. The opponents begin 100ft apart. Anything Goes: Magical and Physical attacks are allowed in this type of battle. The opponents begin 80ft apart. Gladitorial Combat: Gladitorial Challenge: A combatant challenges a gladiator to a duel. The gladiator decides the field of battle. The fight continues until one of the combatants is unconcious. The reward to the winner is (500 x challenger's ECL)gp. Last Man Standing: Combatants join in numbers, any number (up to 6) may participate in these battles. One third of these combatants must be gladiators. The reward to the winner is (2000 x number of combatants)gp. Sentencing Match: Courts that decide to throw a criminal into an arena match choose these types of matches. Depending on the severity of the crime, 1-3 gladiators will be pitted against the one who has comitted the crime. The sentancing court is responsible for paying the gladiators who participate. Experience: Knock out Battles: The experience for a knock out battle is 3/4ths of the normal experience for a challege of the loser's ECL. Death: The experience for a death match is the full normal experience for a challenge of the losers ECL. Gladitorial Challenge: Same as knock out battles. Last Man Standing: The experience awarded for a last man standing match is calculated by the number of combatants. The total exp for defeating all of the combatants divided by the number of combatants -1. For example: with 6 level 15 combatants the total for the winner would come out to be 4500 ((4500 x 5)/5). This calculation is more important for characters of varying levels. Sentancing Match: This match is much like either a knock out fight or death match, but is divided by among the gladiators (or the sentanced if he/she wins). ((Note: GP and Experience amounts subject to change at the discression of the GMs))

bgt 08-10-05, 11:08 AM	I have a question. What's a gladiator? You mentioned the possibilities of benifits, and you asked for information on what the gladiators will give. So what is a gladiator exactly? Is it just a title, or are they going to be expected to help around the Mountain Top Arena or something?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 11:33 AM	Read the rules. Orcy has posted multiple gladiator battles. Gladiators will (hopefully) be paid for their service in the arena. They will be given the title of gladiator and be elligible for Gladiator matches. Which are: Gladiator Challenge, Last Man Standing, and Sentancing Matches. These are mentioned in the rules. They would be asked to come to the arena to fight in battles, and should be ready to fight if a challenge to them is issued. Orcy will probably include gladiators in special matches later when he has them finished.
Master_of_Flames 08-10-05, 11:43 AM	well, when he's finished, I'll sign Mirk'Lae up for a gladiator. hopefully, my ceal'nis sniper gets approved. he's a ranged specialist who can pin a pigeon to a tree from atop the arena without killing it.
Sssargoth 08-10-05, 01:38 PM	A young red dragon comes flying into the arena. It lands in front of the Green Wonder. "I heard you was lookin' for gladiators. Can I be a gladiator? Can I? Please???" He appears to be unusually excited at the prospect.

You'll have to win to claim the title." Gladiator Battle 1: bgt Sssargoth li'ruak Ashariana Adrian Oop the Haunted
Master_of_Flames 08-10-05, 02:53 PM	Li'ruak walked into the arena, his followers silently following, I shall become the first gladiator. Attempting to stop me will result in death. I hold back against no one. that's right, everyones favorite warlock elf is going to partake in the fight! oh, and anyone want to know a history fact about the gladiator and what its name means?
Ashariana 08-10-05, 03:17 PM	Ashariana enters through an upper path. Walking down the stais she looks around the arena. Her silvery hair blows in the winds that flow throuh the open stadium. She stops when she reaches the bottom stair and looks toward the others, smiling sweetly. Turning her head toward the Half Orc seated on the throne she smiles again and nods. "Hello there green one, I am Ashariana. I've come to... how did you put it? Do battle for the title of Gladiator... Of course, I suppose I alone will be allowed to enter? My bodyguard will have to remain in the stands hmm?" By myself, no cohort right?

The green wonder nods toward the woman. He taps his metallic arm on the arm of the throne while rubbing his chin with his other hand. "Yes, I believe you will be forced to do battle alone. It would not be fair to give one an advantage by allowing them a... bodyguard."
Master_of_Flames 08-10-05, 05:01 PM	i'm going to take Li'ruak out of the tourny and instead stick in Mirk'Lae. he is the ultimate in ranged warfare. if you don't take him down in 5 rounds, you'll almost certainly be dead. ;) i just have to wait until he and the Ceal'nis Sniper are approved. then, its time for you all to die. (no hard feelings though, 'kay?)
HauntedHeaven7 08-10-05, 05:02 PM	A man in flowing purple robes enters through the gates, his hands feeling about the cold stone. His robes are dotted in images of suns and moons, fading in from dawn to dusk. He is blindfolded, yet he gazes around the glowing field of combat. His hands reach down and feel the dust below, once again gazing about through the blindfold. He stands up, and removes the hood from the robe, letting it fall down to his back. Taking a step forward, he begins to stride twords the throne in the center, his face fixated on orcy. Hello sir, my visions have told me this place of grand combat is to be reopened. I wish to test my abilities, for one who advocated peace must be in top condition to defend the peace that i love so. Would you permit this walker of the minds voyage to enter in these hallowed halls of combat? My name is Adrian , my first name should suffice for entry for this contest of champions.
NightScreamer20 08-10-05, 05:30 PM	A being taller than a normal human, white tuffs of fur and long chained entwined drealocks hang from his helm. His body covered in silver armor etched with the designs of plant and animal life. Random chains are attatched around his armor, lining the whole of his arm, each glinting with a soft silver-blue color. His hands, much wider than that of a normal humans, along with long powerfully built arms are entwined (like the rest of his body) in silverly blue chains. However, a much larger one is strapped around his chest, this chain is different from his armor and decor. It looks solid and flat, a dark-gray with a light blue tint around the edges. If you stare at it... it begins to move around his body, slipping into his hands and securing itself promptly. "A fight of great warriors to determine a single master of this Arena? Count me in... I OOP THE HAUNTED ONE! Accept this challenge!" Over-reactive posing.

(no hard feelings though, 'kay?) Orcy suggests you take a look at the rules before continuing this line of bragging. Specifically the limits on instant death attacks and abilities. Orcy would also like to take this time to tell everyone that before the battle begins the characters must be approved. The green wonder turns toward the newcomer. He nods in a knowing way and grunts. His metallic and flesh arms cross over his chest as he looks out at the others. His voice booms once more througout the arena as he speaks. "Indeed you may enter if it is your wish. This shall be a great battle indeed. Keep in mind none shall be slain in this combat. Any lethal strikes shall be reduced to something less dangerous by the magics woven around this place. So death is not something any should worry about. If for some reason a mistake is made, Orcy will be able to bring you back easily." Nodding toward Oop, Orcy rises from his throne. His hands raise out, fingers stretched apart and pointing toward the arena. His voice booms louder, stretching out across the arena and the surrounding countryside. "That makes six, and the combatants are chosen. You are signed up for this combat now, and one of you will be the first gladiator of the arena. Good luck to you all, Orcy shall declare the date when he has looked over the entries a bit more." So lets see... what would be the best time for everyone? Does anybody have any days they can't participate in the battle?
HauntedHeaven7 08-10-05, 06:00 PM	Any day, any time.
bgt 08-10-05, 06:06 PM	The thirteenth is my birthday, so I'll probably be busy. Any other time is fine.
Master_of_Flames 08-10-05, 06:15 PM	alright, then i'll just stick with li'ruak. any day this month is fine, but i work on the weekends from 11-4. after this month, i will have almost no time availible.
Ashariana 08-10-05, 06:17 PM	If only our characters were done and approved, we'd be able to do this now. Most of us are online. Does anybody have a problem with tomorrow maybe?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 06:22 PM	Orcy would be fine with it, but the problem is that the characters will need to be finished and approved by then.
Master_of_Flames 08-10-05, 06:25 PM	we'd need to find necro, sssargoth, and jagger then. anyone have thier email? or, better yet, live near one of them?
HauntedHeaven7 08-10-05, 06:27 PM	I can get my char up for approval within an hour or two. sound good to you al?l I didnt expect this to begin to quickly so i did not have my complete char ready.
Master_of_Flames 08-10-05, 06:32 PM	hey bgt, you want to go for a test fight? see who will win? of course, there is no doubt i shall be vitorious, but it will be fun to see....
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 06:41 PM	Orcy will see what he can do about approvals. As for test battles, there will be no battles in the arena until the first gladiator is chosen. Orcy just wants to start this thing off big ;)
Master_of_Flames 08-10-05, 07:15 PM	ok. i would have won anyways, since i can deal 42 damage three times per day.
NightScreamer20 08-10-05, 11:18 PM	ok. i would have won anyways, since i can deal 42 damage three times per day. I sense sarcasm.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 11:48 PM	Orcy has added Arena Floors to the third post. He has also added a few rules to the end of the general section. If anybody needs any more explination just ask and Orcy will go into it.
Sssargoth 08-10-05, 11:50 PM	Ok, since I dont know where else to put this, bgt, Li'ruak, and Ashariana are approved. Oop, and myself were approved a couple of months ago.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 11:53 PM	Ok, since I dont know where else to put this, bgt, Li'ruak, and Ashariana are approved. Oop, and Adrian, and myself were approved a couple of months ago. So, we can start this thing any time. :P Orcy thought Adrian hadn't been made yet. Orcy refers to this... I can get my char up for approval within an hour or two. sound good to you al?l I didnt expect this to begin to quickly so i did not have my complete char ready.
Sssargoth 08-10-05, 11:55 PM	Orcy thought Adrian hadn't been made yet. Orcy refers to this... I noticed that after I posted, so I edited that. ;) Haunted, get your damn charicter up! :D
HauntedHeaven7 08-11-05, 12:05 AM	Wow...i am so sorry about this guys.....i got swamped in real life. im moving out on friday and it just got hectic...dont worry itl be done by tommorow so we can get started.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 12:07 AM	:w00t: :dancin: :clap: :devil: yay!!! who wants some? WHO WANTS SOME?!!? :D my followers are going to provide a fire..er, eldritch blast display involving casks of gunpowder, dire hawks, duct tape, and eldritch spear. :D
Ashariana 08-11-05, 01:58 AM	Tomorrow works for me. Then maybe we can finally shut Master of Flames up. ;P This should be fun, I looked at that grid thing on the first page and I think I get it. Kind of a grid that you don't have to update because it goes by numbers instead of figurines. Oh and... YAY for approval!
bgt 08-11-05, 10:08 AM	Tomorrow works for me. Then maybe we can finally shut Master of Flames up. ;P Don't worry, "Silence!" will be the first command I give to Master_of_Flames, my future bodyguard. He would have been wise to check my save DCs prior to threatening me with 42 damage.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 10:27 AM	i have a massive will save. i'd say i'll make you eat your words, but you can't eat, now can you? *shakes his head at bgt tauningly* :P
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 10:58 AM	i have a massive will save. i'd say i'll make you eat your words, but you can't eat, now can you? *shakes his head at bgt tauningly* :P Which reminds Orcy, you can't buy a cloak of Resistance +6, those are 360,000gp (epic). So... Orcy would say you should fix that on your character sheet. Also, roughly around say... two hours from the time this is being posted, Orcy should be here and around for most of the day. So when everyone shows up, Orcy can get this thing started.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 11:35 AM	wouldn't a +6 cloak of resistance be 36,000gp? because 6x6x1,000= 36,000 owell, changed that part. now i have to fix my gold amount...
jagggar 08-11-05, 11:35 AM	A hooded figure approaches the throne and bows low before it. "Tyranor owes you much Orcy. You provide entertainment and hopefully your Arena shall spare the people of Tyranor from outright war for a few more days. "I look forward to watching these warriors battle as well as seeing what your fine Arena can do. "Tell me, do you have any seats of honor for the Lords of Tyranor?" Well, if Sssargoth says they're okay, I guess they are. There's actually a few things that I do see that need to be corrected. Most people seem to have the management skills calculated wrong (or not at all). I'm going to put a post up in the main meta-thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=472681&page=2) with the corrections I think need to be done (easier and faster than PMing everyone). But I would agree that they seem to be battle ready. I think I'll just make some glances over gold and other things.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 12:45 PM	As the gladiators prepare for combat and glory, 76 black cloaked elves prepare a display for the lords of Tyranor. 76 dire hawks, each one with a carefully made mixture of gunpowder, sulfer, and copper, are prepared to be set free over the Arena. In one cage sits a fiendish Roc, large barrels strapped to his legs as he is prepared. :D lets start it off with a bang. litterally.
NightScreamer20 08-11-05, 12:55 PM	Oop's chain suddenly takes on a dark pitch black hue, becoming an ebony chain normally sized for an Ogre. It's spikes writhe and grow extensively, becoming more pronounced across the edges. Whipped around his head twice spiked into the round then lashed into the air, around his body and int his hands once more. "Let's get this started...." He growls.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 01:07 PM	Orcy is back and ready to start when 1) Haunted has a character, and 2) everyone is ready. For now, He shall give starting positions on the basic arena (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/BaddieX51/Arena/arenagridisland.jpg) floor. bgt: C3 Sssargoth: A20 Li'ruak: C38 Ashariana: R38 Adrian: T21 Oop the Haunted: R3
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 01:27 PM	Li'ruak walked into the arena, his cloak billowing behind him. Eldritch energy brimmed from his hands and eye, and a black metal tube hung from his belt. He looked around cracking his kneck in anticipation. Minutes before the start of the match, 76 dire hawks took flight. Each one had glued to it a keg of specaily prepared black powder. Eldritch blasts rocketed from the stands, blowing apart each of the hawks in a dazzling display of red, orange, yellow, and the occasoinal feather.
HauntedHeaven7 08-11-05, 02:04 PM	kay done
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 02:06 PM	Alright... if you are in the battle, when you see this... stay here. Orcy doesn't want to gather people just for one to leave before we can get the last or something of the sort. So when people are all ready, we can get going.
HauntedHeaven7 08-11-05, 02:16 PM	Adrian stands with his arms folded across his chest, his right hand holding a purple glowing staff. His vision fluts around the battlefield, looking at the other 5 combatants with peering eyes. Pardon i was a bit...mentally removed there. Im ready whenever you are.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 02:20 PM	Looks like we just need bgt, anybody know how to get in touch with him?
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 02:26 PM	Haunted, your AC should be 22 not 23. Other than that, everything looks good. The young red flys to his spot in the arena and waves at his fellow psions, before growling at Li'ruak for his boasting and strutting.
Ashariana 08-11-05, 02:29 PM	Ashariana moves casually over to her position in the arena. Stopping at the spot designated by the Green Wonder she stretches. Yawning a bit, she places a hand on her hip and the other she has ready to pull her staff from her back should she need it. She smiles sweetly to the other combatants as she waits for the battle to begin.
HauntedHeaven7 08-11-05, 02:31 PM	whoops typo....kay thanks for noting that for me.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 02:35 PM	Li'ruak waited for the signal to begin. He would not let up his assualts on these fools. Hp: 132 AC: 23, Touch 15, Flat-Footed 20 Damage Taken: 0 Damage Dealt: 0
HauntedHeaven7 08-11-05, 02:35 PM	Waves back at the massive red dragon, remembering it was actually ssargoth. Adrian's face remains calm and placid, smiling at the other combatants. Best of luck to you all, you especially Ssargoth.Atleast someone from the foundation should win this, agreed?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 02:39 PM	Yep... just need bgt... Then Orcy can do his thang and get this started. Just to make sure, everyone be sure to read the rules on the first page of this thread. Make sure you know them, because Orcy doesn't want to have to explain things more than once...

Orcy the Green Wonder nods and motions toward the upper boxes of the arena. Fancily decorated with a great view of the arena floor. "These seats were used by the previous lords that have come to this place. You may use them if you need. Orcy is sure they will be comfortable enough for your purposes. Enjoy the battle, it should be soon to begin if our illithid friend finds his way here..."
bgt 08-11-05, 02:53 PM	Yep... just need bgt... Sorry I'm late, my little brother was listening to music on the computer.
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 02:57 PM	Waves back at the massive red dragon, remembering it was actually ssargoth. Adrian's face remains calm and placid, smiling at the other combatants. Not to be a nitpic, but hes only 5' 2" at the shoulder, which means hes medium sized. Youll see who he is the avatar of shortly. Best of luck to you all, you especially Ssargoth.Atleast someone from the foundation should win this, agreed? "Yeah, and lets take out that arrogant elf for some good eats." As this exchange is takeing place, a larger red flys into the stands and takes a seat next to the hooded figure. Many present recognise him as the true lord of the psions, and the one in the arena is only his avatar. He nods to the green wonder, and the hooded figure before looking tward the combatants. This one is over 10 feet tall at the shoulder, and I wouldnt suggest messing with him, since he is about as powerful as Orcy. :D
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 02:57 PM	finaly. now, lets get this fight started. the fireworks already went off, and you missed them.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 02:59 PM	Orcy rises from his throne and walks to the edge of the platform. He raises his fist into the air holding his opened hand above his head to quiet those gathered. "Now that all the combatants are gathered... we shall test their might. Whoever is the last man, woman... or other, standing will be the winner. That individual shall become the first gladiator of this arena. Now then..." Orcy brings his arm back down raising his metallic fist toward the sky, he shouts and his voice echoes throughout the arena. "HOOAH!" Alright everyone, roll initiative and post your results (use the roller linked on the first page).

jagggar 08-11-05, 03:03 PM	Slip this post in before Orcy's. The figure bows again to Orcy, then turns to face the Arena. "Before this contest may begin I have an announcement." She pulls back her cloak revealing herself. Her clothes are not a fasion of this time, but a blue shirt with the image of a snarling wolf upon it. Her pants blend patches of greens and brown together as they disappear what seems to be a skirt but has sleeves hanging from the sides. A rod is tightly lashed to her left forearm and a dagger with +1 engraved into its blade is sheathed at her side. "I, jagggar, Lord of Tyranor, decree that in addition to the position of the Arena's first gladiator, the winner of this battle shall also be awarded 7000 gold."
Ashariana 08-11-05, 03:03 PM	Ashariana takes up a readied stance, preparing for the combat that is soon to follow now that all are present. Initiative: 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Ashariana&limit=on)

Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 03:09 PM	"I, jagggar, Lord of Tyranor, decree that in addition to the position of the Arena's first gladiator, the winner of this battle shall also be awarded 7000 gold."[/COLOR] don't you mean lady of Tyranor? :D
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 03:12 PM	I guess I should put this stuff up. HP: 113 Currently: AC: 18 Touch AC: 12 Flat-Footed AC: 16
bgt 08-11-05, 03:13 PM	Hopping on the bandwagon: Hit Points: 51 (fixed) AC: 15, Touch: 12, Flatfooted: 13
NightScreamer20 08-11-05, 03:15 PM	His feet thunder forward swing his chain around his head and with a simple gesture his chain explodes in length and travel gracefully towards the Mind Flayer Move: R3 > K3; Charging Casting: Oop's Extending Wrath; swift action Attack Roll: 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132650) Damage Roll: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132651)
Ashariana 08-11-05, 03:20 PM	Ashariana watches the monkey charge across the arena swinging his chain. She nods to herself and weaves her hands about infront of her, until finally her form fades from view. Casting Greater invisibility I think bgt is up...
turalisj 08-11-05, 03:23 PM	Before the batle begins: A large bronze draon flew into the arena, gracefully changing into a young elf as he landed next to the lords and lady of Tyranor. I'll be providing commentary ;) And it looks liek Oop, silver back defender of the forests, has landed a clean blow on BGT, resident squid face.
turalisj 08-11-05, 03:25 PM	Now it looks like the young lady has disappeared from sight! what will this mean for the rest of the group?!? oh, and they are all being sent via a message spell to all audience members.
bgt 08-11-05, 03:30 PM	With the mental grace befitting of a mind flayer, bgt assumes a state of intense concentration, then unleashes the focus in an assault on the monkey's mind. Concentrationcheck to gain focus: 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132653). I'm using psionic charm on Oop, augmenting it with the second two options. I'm also using Psionic endowment. The save DC is 28.
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 03:32 PM	The lord of Tyranor glares at the bronze as he changes shape. "You just have to turn into an elf near me, dont you..." Bold for the big'un, no bold for the little'un. :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 03:34 PM	With the mental grace befitting of a mind flayer, bgt assumes a state of intense concentration, then unleashes the focus in an assault on the monkey's mind. Concentrationcheck to gain focus: 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132653). I'm using psionic charm on Oop, augmenting it with the second two options. I'm also using Psionic endowment. The save DC is 28. Exactly what are you doing with this, Orcy doesnt quite get how you arrive at 28 for the save with the last two options. Explain this a bit more...
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 03:40 PM	Exactly what are you doing with this, Orcy doesnt quite get how you arrive at 28 for the save with the last two options. Explain this a bit more... psionic endowment adds +1 to the dc of a power, and he has a base save of 25 for telepathy powers.
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 03:40 PM	Orcys right, it should be a 27. Oop is a monsterous humanoid, so you would use the first and third augment options. That gives a +3 increase to the DC, which is a 24 normally for his level 1 powers. EDIT: missed the endowment, so it would be a 28.
bgt 08-11-05, 03:41 PM	For every two points spent augmenting it, the save goes up by one. My psionatrix boosts the save DCs for my telepathy by 1, as does Psionic Endowment. So it's 21(base)+1(power level)+1(psionatrix)+4(augment)+1(endowm ent)=28.
NightScreamer20 08-11-05, 03:41 PM	Will Save: 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132657)
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 03:42 PM	Orcy has just calculated it out... Base: 22 + 4 from augmenting, +1 from Psionic Endowment = 27 ah, the item, alright. Adrian is up. In the future Orcy would like to know how the saves reach that if they arent listed on the character sheet. Since thats a lot of things to figure in.
turalisj 08-11-05, 03:43 PM	Turalisj smiled at Sssargoth. "Of course. Do you have any drow heads with you? I'm a bit hungry." He looked down at the field momentarily to see BGT shrug off the damage and try and charm the ape. "Good move my illithid friend."
bgt 08-11-05, 03:46 PM	Orcy has just calculated it out... Base: 22 + 4 from augmenting, +1 from Psionic Endowment = 27 ah, the item, alright. Adrian is up. You forgot to include the psionatrix. <Oop, we need not settle this fight now. It would be far better if we first eliminated these distractions, then fought this one on one.>
NightScreamer20 08-11-05, 03:50 PM	Sorry, mathematic errors. I never added in the +3 Will that Monstrous Humanoid levels gave me. So my save is actually 29 Sorry about that guys...
bgt 08-11-05, 04:07 PM	Is Adrian there? Edit: It would appear that Haunted Heaven has left.
Ashariana 08-11-05, 04:08 PM	Apparently not, it seems we've lost one of the posters. Haunted took off. So uhm... guess we have to wait... check in over the day maybe?
HauntedHeaven7 08-11-05, 04:09 PM	I am going to have to withdraw....im seriously sorry....i thought i would have more time today but i simply do not...=/.. im so sorry....just move on without me...ill try and get into another fight. this is like the only time ill get online today left.. i really wanna be in the fight but im moving tommorow and today just got..hectic.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 04:11 PM	Alright, Haunted has withdrawn from the battle, so lets move on to the next. Li'ruak.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 04:15 PM	Li'ruak raised his hand up and slammed it to the ground, a billowing darkness creeping out and around him. Used enervating shadow invocation. :P
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 04:30 PM	The dragons body glows a bit and appears to take on a somewhat more reflective nature. He then moves tward the elf known as Li'ruak. Manifests augmented Inertial Armor, for a +5 to AC. It lasts for 4 hours. NEW: AC: 23 (+5 Deflection, +2 Dex mod, +6 natural armor) Touch AC: 17 (+2 Dex mod, +5 deflection, any other mods) Flat-Footed AC: 21 (+5 Deflection, +6 natural armor) Moved 50 feet from A20 to C30. Anyone that cant be seen, but are within 60 feet of me, I know where you are because of my blind-sight.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 04:48 PM	you there Oop?
NightScreamer20 08-11-05, 04:51 PM	Feeling the effect of serenity and love towards BGT, eventually seeps away. With a glare and a roar of might he thrashes his chain, which begins to burn bright as it's brought down upon the Flayer. Casting Oop's extending Wrath (Swift) + Quickened Channel Spell (Orb of Fire) Attack Rolls: 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132717), 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132718), 8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132719) (miss) Weapon Damage Rolls: 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132720) Orb of Fire Damage: 45 (http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py) Make fort Save: DC 20 or be dazed for 1 round
bgt 08-11-05, 04:54 PM	I'm sorry, but I have to go. A family friend asked us out on a picnic-thing about 2 1/2 hours ago, and I can only talk my mom into extra time for so long. I'm still interested in future gladiator batles. Edit: NM, Oop killed me as I was typing.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 04:54 PM	and be knocked out of the fight.
turalisj 08-11-05, 05:03 PM	if its okay with the orcster, i'd like to replace haunted for this match.
Ashariana 08-11-05, 05:04 PM	Lighting arcs in thin air before suddenly streaking out in a bolt. Tearing through the air with it's crakling energy it passes through the dark cloud that now surrouns Li'ruak. Since you didn't move and you are now just surrounded by a big shadowy blob, I'm sending this at the same square you were in. Damage: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Ashariana&limit=on) Ref Save DC: 21
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 05:05 PM	if its okay with the orcster, i'd like to replace haunted for this match. Nope, sorry. If they surrender, they surrender. No replacements. Now, Orcy believes its Li'Ruak's turn, so you can go ahead and take yer turn and make the save in the same post.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 06:03 PM	Li'ruak barrel rolled out of the way, sending an eldritch blast as he did so. Moved to the bottom of the arena, out of the darkness area. and did sssargoth actualy enter it? Move: Move out of darkness Standard: use eldritch blast with the eldritch spear invocation at Oop, combimbed with maxamize spell like ability. attack roll: 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py) damage: 42. this is my first time with a warlock character. do i get the normal three attack i would be able to have, or only one attack?
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 06:13 PM	Moved to the bottom of the arena, out of the darkness area. and did sssargoth actualy enter it? I dunno, did I? How wide is the darkness for one. When you move, could you also give the spot that you start at and end at please.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 06:20 PM	sorry. just reread the invocation, and it doesn't work in full sunlight. otherwise, it provides full concealment to me, and gives a -4 to str to anyone else that enters the area. doesn't say how big it is though. :embarrass i moved to A38 though.
Ashariana 08-11-05, 06:34 PM	Li'ruak barrel rolled out of the way, sending an eldritch blast as he did so.

Not going to make a reflex save? So you take the full 28?
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 06:37 PM	i can't look back in the invis castle roller to put a link to my relfex save, but it was a 28.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 06:38 PM	sorry. just reread the invocation, and it doesn't work in full sunlight. otherwise, it provides full concealment to me, and gives a -4 to str to anyone else that enters the area. doesn't say how big it is though. :embarrass i moved to A38 though. You can't move to A38. Orcy forgot to explain. Grey is part of the wall. Green is grass, light brown is sand, light blue is shallow water, dark blue is water you must swim in. And, what name did you roll under?
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 06:42 PM	Li'ruak. and i guess the next square over that is availible then....
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 06:43 PM	Forget this post...
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 06:44 PM	Alright, you take 14 damage, and Orcy is going to need to know what square. As for the "darkness" from what Orcy read, he believes it only surrounds you. Since it does not say it damages all who enter, but rather that it damages those adjacent to you.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 06:52 PM	moved to A36 then. and Sssargoth, make a dc25 (10 base+ 7 caster level + 6 charisma + 2 ability focus) or take a -4 to str for 5 rounds.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 06:54 PM	moved to c33 then. and Sssargoth, make a dc25 (10 base+ 7 caster level + 6 charisma + 2 ability focus) or take a -4 to str for 5 rounds. In that case, Sssargoth needs to take his turn over... this is why we let Orcy work things out first ;)
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 07:08 PM	The eyes of the dragon flash with an unnatural fire as everything in a large cone is engulfed in flame Manafests Recall Agony: MoF make a Will save DC 16 for half. 10 damage on a faild save, 5 on a made save (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132824) The cone of fire starts at C30 and covers a cone ending at A38 and K38. Reflex save DC 20 Damage: 20 on a failed save, 10 on a made save (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132825)
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 08:04 PM	Li'ruak's mental defences blocked the psionic power with ease, but he tripped when trying to dodge the blast. I have energy resistance 5, so i only take 15 damage from your breath attack. :cool: relfex save 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132839) hp: 112 damage taken: 20 damage dealt: to dragon= 0, to Arshariana= 0. to great ape= 42. position: A36.
premier666 08-11-05, 08:57 PM	A figure emerges from the darkness. He is wearing a black robe covering all his body. He also has a hood that covers his head and a pointy wizard hat (why no one uses those anymore?). His face is always covered by shadow, leaving only two deep blue eyes to be seen. The Black Mage takes a seat. Damm devils! made me arrive late for the fight! He asks to anyone near: So, did I miss anything? (Hey orcy, next fight, sign James "darkstorm" Raynor, my other char, he is aproved and ready to roll! :D )
NightScreamer20 08-11-05, 09:08 PM	Oops charges forward flowing towards the Warlock which blasted him. With a wave of his hand, his chain takes on a blue hue and frosts over slightly. Movement: K3 > F15 Action: Quickened Channel Spell "Young Dragon! Besides each other we have a mutual enemy! Until our foes are destroyed I offer a truce! Working together is our best chance of survival, and then we can have an honorable fight amongst each other."
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 09:19 PM	"Do not forget the lady lightning thrower, O chain swinging lunch meat...er...primemate." 1 round till I can use my breath weapon again (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132902)
Ashariana 08-11-05, 09:23 PM	A force begins to pull on Li'ruak's hand. Stretching and pulling at his flesh as if the hand itself were trying to rip itself free of him. His own hand twists and bends trying to reach him and claw at him it would seem. Fort save against Grim Revenge (BoVD), I can't finish my turn until I know the results of the save. Then I can finish my turn... so can I get that save? The DC is 22 by the way.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 09:49 PM	Li'ruak grimaced as he failed to resist the effects of the spell. fort save: 19. :( why is everyone attacking me?
Ashariana 08-11-05, 09:56 PM	Li'ruak's hand tears itself free of his arm leaving no more than a bleeding stump. The hand writhes and the pain is intense. The hand grows pale and turns in mid air, lunging upward and slashing at it's former master and owner. The claw scrapes against Li'rauk's clothing but doesn't do much else. Her voice then echoes in Li'rauk's head. "Where is that high and mighty attitude now warlock?" Damage from the hand ripping free: 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132893) It is your turn now I believe.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 10:01 PM	i thought everything done here would be nonlethal damage? isn't that what orcy said?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 10:06 PM	That is what Orcy said, and he can regenerate the hand when the battle is done. You think Orcy would not be able to, or have clerics that could cast such spells?
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 10:08 PM	i thought everything done here would be nonlethal damage? isn't that what orcy said? its converted to nonlethal. we can still throw around insta-death spells, it just doesnt kill the target, only knocks them out.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 10:17 PM	So, it's Li'rauk's turn.
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 10:39 PM	Ignoring the pain from his hand ripping itself free, Li'ruak raised off from the ground. The stump that remained of his hand began to cauterize, sealing itself up. used fell flight and then activated fiendish resilience. Effects: Fell flight: 24hrs Activated fast healing 2. Hp: 101 Location: 30ft above A36.
Ashariana 08-11-05, 10:50 PM	As he begins to ries, Li'rauk's own hand swings itself at him. Slashing into his body as he leaves himself open for a moment to rise above the battlefield. AOO for hand: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132907) Damage: 5 Li'rauk also needs a fort save DC 14
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 10:57 PM	"Hey monkey man. Hes all yours." The dragon moves away from the warlock to where he believes the invisible lady was, searching. Moves from C30 to M35. Not sensing her in that area, he quickly moves in a different direction. Moves from M35 to M25.
NightScreamer20 08-11-05, 11:29 PM	Movement: F15 > B21 Casting: Oop's Chainlash; Targetting The Warlock Attack Roll: Natural 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132926); Critical Backup 36 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132928) Damage: 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132929) + 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132931) = 36 Fort Save DC: DC 16 or be knocked prone
Master_of_Flames 08-11-05, 11:37 PM	Li'ruak ignored most of the damage dealt by his rouge hand. The rest healed itself up as Li'ruak soared high above the arena, the other three becoming no more than specks. Used full round action to move 120ft. i am now 210ft above square A36. Effects: Dr 4/cold iron (forgot to put it in effect before) permament. fell flight. 24 hours. fast healin 2, 19 rounds. fort save (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132927) 21. hp: 103. next round, i do an imitation of black mage ;)

Also, 100ft above the arena floor is the limit.
Ashariana 08-11-05, 11:41 PM	Ashariana looks toward the dragon, it looked like he was on a bit of a hunt. She quickly set her powers to work, her eyes locking on the dragon she spoke directly into his mind. "I am helping you, it would be better to defeat the monkey first, he is far more of a threat." Push the Weak Mind DC: 21 Meanwhile, the hand moves upward and continues to slash at it's former owner. Swining with no success.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-11-05, 11:45 PM	NOW it is Li'ruak's turn. Are you sticking with the same actions?
Sssargoth 08-11-05, 11:48 PM	Will save vs. Push the Weak Mind: nat. 20 total 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132935)
Ashariana 08-11-05, 11:50 PM	Will save vs. Push the Weak Mind: nat. 20 total 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132935) Well that seems like a pass... now Li'rauk needs to save against Oop's ability and decide if he is going to keep the same actions.

Orcy The Green Wonder 08-12-05, 12:07 AM	how could his attacks have such a along reach? and isn't he supposed to have links to his homebrew spells in his character sheet? and yea, i'm going to keep with the same actions. and i just make the save dc. He should, just like you should have put in a link to the save ;) As for the attack, hes using those spells he made specifically for his chain attacks, and the GMs approved. Oh yes and... you may want to reconsider keeping the save actions, Orcy has said you cannot move more than 100ft up.
NightScreamer20 08-12-05, 12:07 AM	how could his attacks have such a along reach? and isn't he supposed to have links to his homebrew spells in his character sheet? and yea, i'm going to keep with the same actions. and i just make the save dc. ... I DO have links ... You're just not looking hard enough ...
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 12:09 AM	how could his attacks have such a along reach? and isn't he supposed to have links to his homebrew spells in his character sheet? He does, they are all in one post, which makes everything easier for the GMs. :cool: and yea, i'm going to keep with the same actions. and i just make the save dc. To the first, you can only go 100 feet up. To the second, you have to see if you get a nat. 1, because those are auto fails.
Master_of_Flames 08-12-05, 12:17 AM	link to forst save. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132940) there. and i moved to 1 100ft....
Master_of_Flames 08-12-05, 12:22 AM	oh, and perhaps the gm's could find time to review the Ceal'nis sniper..... :D
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 12:25 AM	The dragon goes around the deep water in prisuit of his quarry. Sensing her, he releases a cone of dragonfire at her. Cone of Fire reflex DC 20 Damage: 13 on a failed save (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132958) , 6 on a successful save 1 round till next use of breath weapon (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132962)

Ashariana 08-12-05, 12:30 AM	Asharian blinks, but is too slow to cover herself. The flames wash over her and burn her body. Leaving a few of her hairs burnt as well. Failed the save with an 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132968)
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 12:33 AM	Josh what square are you in and where did the cone appear? oops, I went around the deep water to the south and ended my move on M15. The cone originates from there, and extends to M7 and hits the wall due south of me.
NightScreamer20 08-12-05, 12:45 AM	Throwing his hand outward a burst of 3 entwining streams of golden-red light emit from his hand striking the Warlock, 1 of them streaking off past him. Touch Attack Rolls: Miss; 29; 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132973) Damage Rolls: Base 41 (http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py) x 1.5 (Empowered) = 62
Ashariana 08-12-05, 12:50 AM	Ashariana growls at the dragon. It had found her and was going to be a problem if something wasn't done. She smiled sweetly, though none could see her of course. She concentrated and used the power of her mind. Bringing her will down upon the Dragon's mind. Using Dominate, will save DC 29
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 01:01 AM	The dragon attempts to shake off the control, but feels it creep over his mind, and he doesnt like it. Failed the save with a 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132999)
Master_of_Flames 08-12-05, 01:04 AM	Li'ruak sent an eldritch blast sailing towards Oop. He then flew away from the ape as much as possible. Attack: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=132995) Used Maxamize spell like ability, dealing 42 damage. Position: 100ft above C36. (lets see that big ape's chains hit me now!) Hp: 21 :weep: i'm ding, even with DR and fast healing! owell, it's a nice change from playing in ECL 3 arenas. you get tired after the 50th dread guard....
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 01:17 AM	The dragon moves around the deep water in the direction of Oop, and he isnt looking himself. He then releases a cone of dragonfire at the ape. Moves to G16 and hits Oop with a cone of fire. Ref. DC20 19 on a failed save (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133016) , 8 on a made save. 1 round till I can use the breath weapon (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133020)
NightScreamer20 08-12-05, 02:51 PM	With unmatched reflexes the great Silverback Guardian throws his chain up and around his body, dispersing the flames around his body, doing as naturally as can be. After that was said and done he turns his attention back towards the mage blasting his with Arcane energies. With another snap of his fingers 3 more gleaming golden-red rays erupt from his hand, entwining themselves into a large braided beam of fiery might, blasting through the shadow-cloaked mage. Reflex Save: 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133253) Touch Attack Rolls: 33, 29, 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133252) Scorching Ray damage: 51 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133255)
Ashariana 08-12-05, 03:10 PM	From thin air a green orb appears. Streaking out toward the large monkey. The orb collides with his body sending acid flowing over his flesh. It's fumes rising off the monkey's body and flowing into his nostrils, a sickening smell coming to him. Orb of Acid Attack: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133258) Orb of Acid Damage: 51 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133259) Fortitude save DC: 22
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 03:39 PM	The dragon, being forced, goes to where Oop fell, and dances on his unconcious body, and not doing verv well at it. Moves from G16 to B21. Perform (dance) check: 5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133275)
Ashariana 08-12-05, 04:02 PM	Ashariana sends a command to the dragon to make the battle a bit more interesting than just forcing him to leave the fight. She raises her staff again, hidded from the combatants, but easily seen by those watching from the stands thanks to the arena's magic. Another orb appears and streaks forth, striking the dragon's scaly hide. Sending acid flowing over his flesh, just as with the monkey. Acid orb touch attack: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133304) Acid Orb damage: 53 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133305) Fort Save DC: 22 Fail: become sickened
jagggar 08-12-05, 04:26 PM	The dragon, being forced, goes to where Oop fell, and dances on his unconcious body, and not doing verv well at it. Moves from G16 to B21. Perform (dance) check: 5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133275) jagggar smirks, ammused, clapping thrice.
turalisj 08-12-05, 04:31 PM	Turalisj wakes up at jaggers clapping, ovously haven fallen asleep. "It wasn't me! thos drow bodies were already there! I don't know why there are elf sized bite marks!"
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 04:40 PM	Made the save with a 30 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133309) The dragon goes after Ashariana, knowing the loop holes in her most recent comand. He moves around the deep water, and sensing her right where he left her, he makes a bee-line for her, and looks right in her invisible face. "So, ya' doin anythin later?" moves from B21 to O12.
Ashariana 08-12-05, 04:48 PM	Ashariana appears infront of the Dragon's face. She smiles sweetly, knowing that the invisiblity would not be useful anymore. She hops back a few feet and raises her staff into the air, sticking her tounge out at the dragon. Will save VS Tasha's Hideous Laughter, DC: 21 I'm holding my move action until after I know the results of the save.
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 05:01 PM	Save: Failed by 1... (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=133333)
Ashariana 08-12-05, 05:05 PM	I'm going out to eat now, I'll have to finish this when I get back. Sorry that I have to make you wait.
Ashariana 08-12-05, 06:22 PM	Ashariana smiles, drawing the blade at her hip. She swings around her staff and places it on her back. Weaving her hand about, her fist becomes made of stone. She looks down at the laughing dragon and smiles as she steps foreward to stand over him. "Well, it seems I'm funnier than I remember. I havent seen someone laugh this much for a while. Now... what to do with you..." Ashariana grins wickedly, the stone fist clenching the sword tightly. She licked the blade of the sword before once again smiling. Raising the sword high above her she brings it down. Slashing and stabbing into his body repeatedly until finally it goes limp. She raises the sword up into the air and licks the blade clean of blood before looking around the crowd and bowing her head a slight bit. (Sssargoth said to just end it, so I decided to.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-12-05, 06:31 PM	Orcy rises from his throne and waves his hand. Those who fell during the battle are restored completely, and rise as if they had not been harmed in the least. He turns his attention toward Ashariana and nods. Stepping foreward to the edge of the platform he now stands on, he speaks, his voice booming through the arena. "So the battle ends, and our first gladiator is chosen. Orcy thanks you all for taking part in this event. There will be more in the future, so stick around. For now, Orcy leaves the arena open to those who would seek to challenge others. Now, let us congratulate Ashariana, our first Gladiator."
premier666 08-12-05, 06:35 PM	Black Mage looks with an air of interest to Asharianna. She is putting quite a show aint she? He says to his Halfling cohort. Hells yeah! thats my kind of girl! Answers Alton Hilltopple. I'm afraid she's a bit too tall for you... Yeah, maybe. (Now, presenting, for the first time ever... Alton hiltopple, the halfling necromancer! He's short! he's is evil! And He's short!)
turalisj 08-12-05, 06:37 PM	hey Sssargoth, want a quick battle betwen us? no bets, just a good, clean, fun battle.
premier666 08-12-05, 06:39 PM	a (short) guy with wild silver hair, deep black eyes, who uses a black kimono that has figures of storms in it aproaches Orcy: I, Darkstorm, would like to sign in for the next fight. its time to pratice my skills a little bit.
Ashariana 08-12-05, 06:40 PM	Ashariana smiles, sheathing her sword once more. She looks down toward the dragon and tilts her head. Then, looking toward the others she nods and turns, heading back into the stands where she quietly takes her seat. An 8 foot man coming down the stairs and taking a seat nearby. He crosses his arms, setting his shield down infront of him. This man, known to others as her bodyguard looks out toward the others, but says nothing.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-12-05, 06:42 PM	Orcy looks toward Darkstorm, his arms remaining crossed over his chest. He glances back out toward the arena then nods to Darkstorm. "The next battle will not be a challenge as the gladiator match. It will be a challenge to an individual. Currently Orcy is not hosting any large battles. It is good to let others combat how they will between these. So if there is someone you would wish to challenge, then do so. When another gladiator challenge comes, Orcy shall announce it and prepare the sign up process."
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 06:59 PM	hey Sssargoth, want a quick battle betwen us? no bets, just a good, clean, fun battle. Only as long as I get to chose the field. :D
turalisj 08-12-05, 07:04 PM	as long as it is not the fire field. anything else is fine.
jagggar 08-12-05, 07:05 PM	As Ashariana's bodyguard takes his seat jagggar disappears with the flick of her wrist only to appear infront of the Arena's first Gladiator. "You put on a most wonderful show, Ashariana. And I must say that I like your style. "As to the gold that you have won, would you prefer it in any particular form or delivered to a particular guildhouse?"
Sssargoth 08-12-05, 07:10 PM	as long as it is not the fire field. anything else is fine. Orcy just reminded me, I cant fight until someone else does.
Ashariana 08-12-05, 07:11 PM	Ashariana watches the arena floor, as the others decide who will be next to fight. She stretched and smiled, leaning back where she sat. She quite enjoyed the battle, and even got to taste a bit of dragon blood, a bit spicy, but good still. Looking toward jagggar she smiles once more. "Why thank you, I quite enjoyed that battle. It was... fun. I'll take the prize in gold or platinum, whatever you would prefer to give me. I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the battle though. It is always good to... put on a nice show for the lords and ladies of these lands."
Master_of_Flames 08-13-05, 12:00 AM	i have a question orcy: do the losers of a fight recieve any xp? if so, then how much does Sssargoth, Oop, and I recieve?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-13-05, 12:49 AM	EXP is given only to the winners, at least that is how Orcy has it worked out for now. If the GMs think it needs changing he can probably do that.
Master_of_Flames 08-13-05, 12:52 AM	ok. i don't think i'll be participating in any further fights then. it's not worth it if you put all that effort into winning, then lose and get nothing for your trouble.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-13-05, 12:56 AM	*shrugs* Thats your choice. But do you get anything for getting defeated in any other dungeons and dragons related things? If you get killed in an adventure, do you still expect to get exp for losing?
Master_of_Flames 08-13-05, 01:14 AM	most arena campaigns i've played give you some sort of xp for trying, even if it's extremly small. owell. maybe i could gey a monster to face. (not right now though, sleep time)
jagggar 08-13-05, 01:25 PM	With a few gesticulations 14 bars of platinum appear in a chair next to Ashariana. *shrugs* Thats your choice. But do you get anything for getting defeated in any other dungeons and dragons related things? If you get killed in an adventure, do you still expect to get exp for losing?Sky's the limit, Ears, sky's the limit. (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=125) 'll look into it later.
Ashariana 08-13-05, 10:28 PM	Ashariana smiles, placing the bars of platinum into a bag on the large man's back. She smiles and nods to jagggar then looks back toward the others gathered around her. "So gentlemen, who is going to entertain me in this arena? I'd like to see some fighting. It can be so much fun watching men beat eachother senseless."
premier666 08-13-05, 10:38 PM	Orcy looks toward Darkstorm, his arms remaining crossed over his chest. He glances back out toward the arena then nods to Darkstorm. "The next battle will not be a challenge as the gladiator match. It will be a challenge to an individual. Currently Orcy is not hosting any large battles. It is good to let others combat how they will between these. So if there is someone you would wish to challenge, then do so. When another gladiator challenge comes, Orcy shall announce it and prepare the sign up process." Darkstorm shrugs. Fine then. He turns to other the rest of the audience. If anyone is willing to fight me, I'm always ready. Then, he teleports away. (Hey, guys, if anyone want to fight Darkstorm, say here in this thread, I'm watching)
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 10:23 AM	I would be glad to accept your challenge, i had to skimp out earlier due to scheduling issues but today im DEFINATELY not moving (if i am its not known to me!) Pardon my dear friends...my mind was wandering, i could not grasp my consienceness, let alone control it. But i am here now, and my mind is completely in the palm of my hand. Ashariana, congratulations upon your victory, i have seen the passings of combat in my visions, it was a superb victory. Anyways...darkstorm. I am Adrian Xilokerym, or just Adrian, Disciple of the Minds Voyage. Shall we begin?
turalisj 08-14-05, 11:24 AM	Wouldn't you want someone more formidable testing your power? Turalisj said, looking towards the two. hmmm, a 3 person ffa? :D
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 12:23 PM	I would most enjoy a mass fight, i was unable to perform in the previous one and it would be delightful.
Zombomaniac 08-14-05, 12:48 PM	Hey guys there is a race in the Fiend Folieo (spelled that wrong) it is a race a constructs that are all Lawful Neutral and mercanaries. I think thet are call Maog, mabye Maug but i want to make sure. Am I right on the name? :confused: if you need more info to find out i will give more.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-14-05, 01:26 PM	Yes, there is a race called the Maug (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ff_gallery/50149.jpg) in the fiend folio. Though Orcy doesn't know what they have to do with his arena...
premier666 08-14-05, 02:26 PM	Yeah, I wouldn't mind a Free for all match. if orcy is ok with that. Darkstorm teleports back, near Adrian. I never fighted a psionic before, this should be quite... Enjoyable.
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 03:42 PM	Adrian takes a step back, and adjusts his robes, looking at the man infront of him. His blinded eyes stare directly at him, yet still gazing deep into the man. You shall find our methods of most interest. Shall we wait for the other or continue on, as we are both here
turalisj 08-14-05, 05:43 PM	sorry, i was at work. now, lets get this party started :cool: what arena type guys?
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 05:47 PM	Looks at the man, sensing mental energy flow about him. He laughs to himself and adjusts his headband upward, revealing his heavily burnt and scarred up eye. Hello hello there, i remember you from the grand halls of the foundation. There are view i lift my headband for, i am glad to see another member of the foundation in this fight. As for where we shall battle, i say we leave it up to orcy, unless he dosent want to produce one that is.
turalisj 08-14-05, 05:53 PM	Turalisj flew down to the arena floor, his dragon body shaping itself into that of a young, tall elf. "Hmm, perhaps we should just try the basic arena." He said to the two.
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 07:48 PM	How about the arena that we stand upon? I am prepared to fight here. How about we just use the one orcy did. simple as that so we can start.
turalisj 08-14-05, 08:00 PM	okay. you there premier?
premier666 08-14-05, 08:06 PM	S'up? I just got back. So, to get this party started, dont we need orcy?
turalisj 08-14-05, 08:09 PM	dunno. i want to make one final adjustment to my character (add iajutsu focus) but i need the info on that skill.
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 08:16 PM	Alrightie. Well if orcys round we can get this started. Magic Vs. Mental Vs. Might =D
premier666 08-14-05, 08:16 PM	So, you already have the skill?, I was getting ready to PM you now...
premier666 08-14-05, 08:18 PM	Actually, its magic/might. Darkstorm is not a full caster.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-14-05, 08:19 PM	"Choose an arena and Orcy shall set it for you. It does not matter to him what arena you use. By his rules, the challenged is allowed to choose the arena." Also note that your character must be approved to take part in any arena battles.
premier666 08-14-05, 08:23 PM	(Hum, I'm, not sure, but, was I the chalenged?)
turalisj 08-14-05, 08:24 PM	So, you already have the skill?, I was getting ready to PM you now... no, i need the info on it. but i'm guessing you use your wisdom mod for it, correct?
premier666 08-14-05, 08:26 PM	no, i need the info on it. but i'm guessing you use your wisdom mod for it, correct? Wrong, its the charisma modifier. (dont ask why)
premier666 08-14-05, 08:36 PM	I just PMed it to you. any mispelling erros are enterely not my fault. :D
premier666 08-14-05, 08:50 PM	I was reading stuff back o there on the other pages, and I think we all agree to a basic arena floor. Orcy, turalisj, HauntedHeaven7, lets get this party started.
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 09:56 PM	Lets use orcys arena from before. orcy we need starting positions. to expedite the process, ill start initiative rolls Initiative = 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134171)
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-14-05, 10:09 PM	Turalisj: R3 Darkstorm: A20 Adrian: R38 Also, turalisj needs to be approved, Orcy isn't sure if Darkstorm has been approved, but he'll need to be before the battle can start.
Sssargoth 08-14-05, 10:41 PM	turalisj, could you please put up a link to your charicter. Im not entirely sure if you posted it. jaggger, necro, could one of you look over Darkstorm, because I dont have OA...
HauntedHeaven7 08-14-05, 10:48 PM	Alrightie im waiting here until D and T j has been approved.
turalisj 08-14-05, 11:18 PM	link is the 2nd sblock in my sig. it was already approved, and all i did was switch autohypnosis for iajutsu focus.
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 08:40 AM	Alright so all we need to do is wait for darkstorm
premier666 08-15-05, 01:36 PM	Darkstorm was aproved, his full name is James "Darkstorm" Raynor, but he presents himself as darkstorm. Also, I'll only be able to be online in 4 hours from this post (Dont know GMT), So, If you want, we can start this later today.
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 03:25 PM	alright you 2 roll up initiative so we can get a goin
premier666 08-15-05, 05:09 PM	OK, here it is James "Darkstorm" Raynor (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=6950137&postcount=25): Init: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134493) HP: 112 AC: 25

turalisj 08-15-05, 05:49 PM	what is the action used to activate a ring?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 05:51 PM	Standard action to activate a ring, unless it's effects are continuous or it has special methods of being activated as in the descriptions.
premier666 08-15-05, 06:00 PM	Darkstorm look at his oponents. Its been a while since I killed someone. His eyes suddenly becomes snake-like, and he smiles. Lets get started then. He pulls a scroll out of his tunic and throw it in the air while he speaks some criptic words. the scroll burns, and he disappear completely. Casting improved invisibility. moved to 26C. (OBS: all shujenja spells involve nomagical scrolls, so he will be using a lot on the spell descriptions.)
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 06:13 PM	Stares off into space, his minds eye granting him sight beyond normal vision. Seeing darkstorm vanish, adrian concentrates his mind, empowering his vision to beyond all human standards. His sight becomes clearer, bringing Darkstorm his vision as he begins to strafe to the left, keeping his eyes split between his two opponets Manifested True Seeing (Psionic) (9 pp), will last for 15 minutes. Moved to R34 283 PP Remaining
premier666 08-15-05, 06:18 PM	Quick question, as I like to play "In character" all time. Do Darkstorm knows that he can see him?
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 06:23 PM	Probably not, my eyes dont glow or anything, my vision just becomes clearer.
turalisj 08-15-05, 06:28 PM	Turalisj like wise disapeared, but not before a glowing green blade shot from his fist and began glowing with psionic force. Hp: 148 init: 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134499) Ac: 25 Position: R3 Actions: Sta: activate ring of invisbility Mve: Imbue mindblade with psychic strike energy (+4d8 damage on next attack roll)
premier666 08-15-05, 06:32 PM	Adrian (and only him) sees Darkstorm walk camly and then drawing another scroll. this time he lift it above his head and pronounce a word of power, making it become dust. Suddenly, he becomes a lot faster. Casting Haste Moved to 28H EDIT: Forgot one thing: Imp. Invisibility: 12 rounds Haste: 13 rounds.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 06:32 PM	Since nobody said anything, Orcy was wondering if this battle is for knock out or to the death. He assumes knock out, and assumes you want to go with anything goes rules. Next time... He'll decide these things himself ;)
premier666 08-15-05, 06:40 PM	Is dispel magic an ofensive action? more clearly, will it break invisibility?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 06:51 PM	Is dispel magic an ofensive action? more clearly, will it break invisibility? If the target is an enemy, yes. Orcy believes it is... Adrian's turn yes?
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 07:07 PM	(sorry for double post)
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 07:15 PM	Adrian stares at the soul knife, recognizing his mind blade. His vision shifts to the mage, whos image becomes blurred as he darts forward twords Adrian. Adrian closes his eyes, and concentrates on his minds eye. A swelling of energy flows into his minds eye, which opens swiftly, releasing a jab at the mind of the powerful mage. Manifesting Augmented Mind Thrust, doing 15d10 (1d10 + 14d10 augment) damage directed at Darkstorm. Will save DC20, Will negates 82 Damage comin at ya Darkstorm (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134713) Moving to R28 268 PP Remaining Scusie orcie mind went blank forgot to rol To Darkstorm: Kay sorry =P, ill make note of it next post.

Adrian closes his eyes, and concentrates on his minds eye. A swelling of energy flows into his minds eye, which opens swiftly, releasing a jab at the mind of the powerful mage. Manifesting Augmented Mind Thrust, doing 15d10 damage directed at Darkstorm. Will save 20 Moving to R28 You need to roll the damage using invisible castle, or is this a save negates thing? Which even then you should roll it so it doesn't waste any time.
premier666 08-15-05, 07:23 PM	Darkstorm feel his mind being torn apart and almost fall with the shock, but he closes his mind just in time, and suffer nothing. What? He can see me? Dammit! Will save: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134711). (I passed! I passed! wohooo!) EDIT: I'M NOT A MAGE< EITHER CALL ME A SAMURAI OR SHUGENJA. (ORIENTAL DUDE WORKS TOO)
turalisj 08-15-05, 07:54 PM	Turalisj surged forward, coming to a halt and launching his mindblade at the psion, becoming visible as he did so. It erupted in an explosion of ectoplasm, cutting through Adrians body. Damage: 40 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Turalisj) total Location: R11 Action: Full round: Charge attack Adrian. adrian is now covered in ectoplasm, with a deep cut through his chest.
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 07:59 PM	Wait i retract that nevermind i see it.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 08:00 PM	Turalisj surged forward, coming to a halt and launching his mindblade at the psion, becoming visible as he did so. It erupted in an explosion of ectoplasm, cutting through Adrians body. Damage: 40 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Turalisj) total Location: R11 Action: Full round: Charge attack Adrian. adrian is now covered in ectoplasm, with a deep cut through his chest. Orcy isn't quite sure what this is supposed to be. A ranged attack at the end of a charge? Or are you mistaken on where Adrian is standing? Can you elaborate on this? To clarify on Orcy's part, after a charge you can make a single melee attack, not a ranged attack which throwing your mind blade would do.
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 08:09 PM	I believe he was mistaken about my location HIm = R11. With charge he can reach R25 Im at R28.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 08:10 PM	I believe he was mistaken about my location HIm = R11. With charge he can reach R25 Im at R28. Orc believes he charged TO R11 since in the last post he claimed his position was R3.
turalisj 08-15-05, 08:14 PM	i guess i'll move 40ft forward, then throw my mindblade. i'd still hit him though, and he'd still have taken 40 damage.
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 08:14 PM	Alright that works.
premier666 08-15-05, 08:18 PM	Could you decide that please? I wanna make my action!
premier666 08-15-05, 08:19 PM	Now! Thats my chance! Darkstorm charges foward, and stop right in front of adrian. He smiles. Sweet dreams psionic. He draws his sword and strikes with the same movement, hitting with extreme force in adrians chest. He continues the same movement and attacks again, hiting the psichic again, trowing him a few feet back, And taking him out of the fight. He looks at Turalisj and point his Katana. You're next, elf! Power attack (-5+10 two handed) with katana: 25 (hit) damage: 32 Power attack (-5+10 two handed) with katana2: 25(hit) damage:31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134763) Haste: 12 rounds. Improved Invisibility 11rounds. (since its improved, you still have a miss chance, not sure how much) I'm wont post all the roll, just look for the character with the same query
HauntedHeaven7 08-15-05, 08:21 PM	Alrightie im out.
premier666 08-15-05, 08:26 PM	Cool, since none of us has taken damage, this just became a duel!
turalisj 08-15-05, 08:29 PM	wanna make this an iajutsu duel now?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 08:29 PM	Now! Thats my chance! Darkstorm charges foward, and stop right in front of adrian. He smiles. Sweet dreams psionic. He draws his sword and strikes with the same movement, hitting with extreme force in adrians chest. He continues the same movement and attacks again, hiting the psichic again, trowing him a few feet back, And taking him out of the fight. He looks at Turalisj and point his Katana. You're next, elf!

Improved Invisibility 11rounds. (since its improved, you still have a miss chance, not sure how much) I'm wont post all the roll, just look for the character with the same query You can only make one attack after a charge. This includes while hasted because to use your extra haste attack you need to take a full attack action.
premier666 08-15-05, 08:31 PM	Leave me and my coolness, he would die anyway, cant I just be a showoff? :D
turalisj 08-15-05, 08:32 PM	adrian only had 64 hp to begin with. after my attack, he dropped down to 24hp. then darkstorm slaughtered him, sending him into the negatives.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 08:33 PM	adrian only had 64 hp to begin with. after my attack, he dropped down to 24hp. then darkstorm slaughtered him, sending him into the negatives. Orcy can see that. He is just clarifying on the rules for the next time. It doesn't really matter if he would have died with the first attack, it still remains that the second would never have been made.
premier666 08-15-05, 08:35 PM	Orcy can see that. He is just clarifying on the rules for the next time. It doesn't really matter if he would have died with the first attack, it still remains that the second would never have been made. I know that, I just used the attack to add some extra coolness, sorry, I should have said that I was doing it just for show. :embarrass
jagggar 08-15-05, 08:38 PM	If it's just for show, you should have just typed it into your description, not rolled for it. Dang it, I knew I had a question for Orcy about the Arena earlier. . .
turalisj 08-15-05, 08:38 PM	well, adrians body is now spread across the arena. and most of the damage was from me. premier- you want to turn this into an iajutsu duel or not?
premier666 08-15-05, 08:40 PM	Hell yeah, I bet this arena never saw an Iaijutsu duel!
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 08:41 PM	Orcy doesn't know the rules for an Iaijutsu duel. So that won't be happening. Besides, the battle has already begun and the rules cannot be changed now.
turalisj 08-15-05, 08:42 PM	If it's just for show, you should have just typed it into your description, not rolled for it. Dang it, I knew I had a question for Orcy about the Arena earlier. . . enjoying the show? we've got one person spread across the arena by a combo of attacks from a shugenja/samuria and a soulknife. Turlaisj dissapeared from sight again, not before another mindblade appeared and glowed with enegy Actions: sta: use ring free: activate mindblade move: power up mindblade
premier666 08-15-05, 08:43 PM	Ok, too bad. I guess its your turn Turalisj
jagggar 08-15-05, 08:46 PM	I've got the rules for Iaijutsu (I'll PM them for future reference, less you prefer email). And I'm not sure that there would be a rule against to combatants ceasing battle to agree to battle in a slightly different fasion.
premier666 08-15-05, 08:47 PM	Darkstorm smiles. This game can work for two. He gets another scroll, trhow it in the air, and becomes invisible. -casting improved imvisibility again. -moves form 28q to 23r
turalisj 08-15-05, 08:49 PM	i think that would work, wanna try it premier? (i don't exatly know the rules for a duel though, except that it involves the iajutsu focus skill)
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 08:51 PM	I've got the rules for Iaijutsu (I'll PM them for future reference, less you prefer email). And I'm not sure that there would be a rule against to combatants ceasing battle to agree to battle in a slightly different fasion. Orcy would prefer to stick to a single rules set once a battle has started. He has never seen the rules for Iaijutsu, but what he remembers of seeing someone use it, he doesn't like it. Currently since he is not familiar with it, he would prefer not to switch to rules using it. Unless of course these two want to surrender from the battle and give up any experience and such from this battle to start a new one.
premier666 08-15-05, 08:54 PM	nah, maybe other time, when I PM the stuff to orcy.
jagggar 08-15-05, 08:55 PM	Okay guys, how 'bout this. I'll give the rules to Orcy and you can have one at a later date. I'd rather everyone who's actually doing the battling know the rules rather than think they know the rules.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 09:05 PM	Anyway... getting back to the fight. Orcy believe's Turalisj is up.
premier666 08-15-05, 09:05 PM	Ok, I vote to continue the battle the way it is. (Anyway, I got Oriental adventures, and I use Iaijutsu focus a lot, so I do know Iaijutsu duel very well.)
turalisj 08-15-05, 09:06 PM	okay. Turalisj backed up a bit, waiting for his foe to mess up. move to r3.
turalisj 08-15-05, 09:17 PM	you there premier?
premier666 08-15-05, 09:26 PM	Darkstorm moves forward, and pull a scroll, he trhow it in the earth. it becomes dust. imediatly after, Darkstorm skin becomes like wood. moves to 9s, cast barkskin. AC: 30. HEY, Turalisj! lets do this like men, why dont we both come out of hiding and fight without tricks?
turalisj 08-15-05, 09:28 PM	what is your touch ac?
premier666 08-15-05, 09:30 PM	17. (oh crap, a question like that gotta mean something bad...) BTW I'm sitill invisible.
turalisj 08-15-05, 09:32 PM	Very well. I'm sure the audience would like to see what happens when two warriors of nearly equal skill go against eachother." Turalisj said before moving forward towards where the scroll was. Move to s7. and yes, it will mean something bad. i didn't get deep impact just because it sounds cool.
premier666 08-15-05, 09:39 PM	Good. Darktorm apears, and make a sign with his hand. Cammon, cammon. cancel invisibility. (thats ok right? can I appear wilingly?) full defense action. CA 34. Touch AC: 21 (YEah, I know its foolish, but I wanna do it anyway ok? Turalisj, lets finish this.)
turalisj 08-15-05, 09:46 PM	say goodbye. "This fight has been enjoyable, but it must end now!" Turalisj said, appearing as he walked towards darkstorm, his blade pulsating with psionic energy. It tore through darkstorm, gore flying everywhere.Mve: Walk towards darkstorm. Sta: attack damage: 52 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134791) attack: 33 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134788) a question: are we using the massive damage equals instant death rule? :D note: i forgot to add the bonus from weapon spec and greater weapon spec, so the damage is the same, just as a touch attack. edit: it's weapon focus, so ignore it being a touch attack.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 09:48 PM	say goodbye. "This fight has been enjoyable, but it must end now!" Turalisj said, appearing as he walked towards darkstorm, his blade pulsating with psionic energy. It tore through darkstorm, gore flying everywhere. a question: are we using the massive damage equals instant death rule? :D You eh, think you wanna give Orcy a link first? As for massive damage, theres always a save and its on a single attack, but Orcy would like to see these rolls first.
premier666 08-15-05, 09:51 PM	Hey, I did not give up, I just appeared. And massive damage only requires a dc 15 fortitude check, whenever is above 50 danage
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 10:00 PM	Orcy isn't quite sure how you managed 52 damage on that attack, theres quite a few different sets of rolls there, care to explain exactly what those are from... since Orcy can't read minds.
jagggar 08-15-05, 10:07 PM	And am I blind or does Turalisj still need to be added to the Character Thread 4?
turalisj 08-15-05, 10:08 PM	1d10+18 base damage, +4d8 from psychic strike, +1d4 psychokinetic burst, +6 weapon focus/greater weapon focus. oh, wait. 2d6 from psionic weapon, +6 to my attack from greater weapon focus. my bad. he still takes 52 damage.
turalisj 08-15-05, 10:09 PM	And am I blind or does Turalisj still need to be added to the Character Thread 4? hrm? i'll work on that after this fight. but he had already been approved before.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 10:17 PM	1d10+18 base damage, +4d8 from psychic strike, +1d4 psychokinetic burst, +6 weapon focus/greater weapon focus. oh, wait. 2d6 from psionic weapon, +6 to my attack from greater weapon focus. my bad. he still takes 52 damage. Alright... lets see... weapon focus doesnt add to damage. Weapon specilization does, however as a mind blade and not a fighter you can't take that. Even if you could, the effects total a +4 to damage from those. The effects of weapon focus give you a +2 total to your attack rolls. The damage bonus (your +18) Orcy can only see a +10, so he isn't quite sure where you are getting it from.
premier666 08-15-05, 10:31 PM	Hello? what about the dc 15 fortitude? do I have to make it or not?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 10:32 PM	Hello? what about the dc 15 fortitude? do I have to make it or not? Not from what Orcy can tell. Hes still waiting for Turalisj to clarify how hes doing as much damage as he claims to be.
Zombomaniac 08-15-05, 10:37 PM	Hello? what about the dc 15 fortitude? do I have to make it or not? if the damage is more than 50 mabye if lower no. lets figure this out.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-15-05, 10:40 PM	if the damage is more than 50 mabye if lower no. lets figure this out. Thank you but Orcy can handle this himself.
premier666 08-15-05, 10:50 PM	Darkstorm smiles. His snake-like eyes aims Turalisj with rage. Fool. You shouldn't have gotten into my area of range. He attacks with a serie of quick strikes, the first one hits and causes a painfull wound on his face. the other two are defleceted, but the last one is made with such force that its cuts trough Turalisj defences and cleave him. entering from the chest and out in the back. attack 1: 34 hit damage 1 21 Attack 2: 16. miss Attack 3: 17 miss (Obs, I forgot to put that the third attack is just with +10, so its with +15 in the dice roller, so its not 22, its 17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=134821) Extra attack and + from haste: 25 hit. damage: 35 (Ok, I'll just make my action while e explains it ot you. I forgot on thing, my ac with haste is 4 points higher from dodge bonus, so my AC should be 35, (40 last round) and touch 22 (27 last round) not that it made a diference)
premier666 08-15-05, 11:14 PM	Well, since noone is online, I'll assume well continue this tomorrow. 17hours from this post. (do the math. really)
premier666 08-16-05, 05:27 PM	Guys? I'm back! where are you? hello?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-16-05, 05:29 PM	Orcy is around, but turalisj still hasn't replied to Orcy's questions. Orcy thinks that perhaps he was looking at the previous page and didn't realize anybody was posting... Or he just hasn't answered yet.
HauntedHeaven7 08-16-05, 06:47 PM	Im here im just quite dead.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-17-05, 12:31 PM	Since this has gotten rather dead and there has been absolutely no notice from Turalisj as to where he is and such. Orcy is giving him until tomorrow morning, and then he is going to declare darkstorm the winner. Orcy doesn't quite like a stall without anything to explain it...
premier666 08-17-05, 12:58 PM	Just to mention, I'm still here waiting.
Arshes 08-17-05, 10:40 PM	when is the next gladiator challenge going to be? i'm eager to test out Lane.
HauntedHeaven7 08-18-05, 09:07 AM	Would it be safe to say the fight is called in favor of Darkstorm?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 02:07 PM	Yes, Orcy is going to have to call the fight in favor of Darkstorm. So... our winner is Darkstorm.
Arshes 08-18-05, 02:15 PM	anyone want to take on a weak little elf? :D
Zombomaniac 08-18-05, 03:03 PM	anyone want to take on a weak little elf? :D :eek: Weak little elf? :cool: I'd be all for that fight if I didn't know you were lying. :P
Arshes 08-18-05, 03:38 PM	oh come now. i'm not even wearing any armor. heck, i don't have a single weapon to my name.
premier666 08-18-05, 06:27 PM	With a final blow, Darkstorm eviscerates Turalisj, and rases his katana in the air, victorious. He smiles to the crowd. If anyone else wants to fight me, I'm on the town of bristol. then, he teleports away. (YAY I win! too bad Turalisj disapeared, it was going to be an exciting battle. I wish I could fight more, but I have to wait for the fight after the next, wont I?)
Arshes 08-18-05, 07:28 PM	anyone? perhaps a cr14 monster could be sent for me to fight?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 08:24 PM	The sound of marching boots comes to ear as the doors to the arena open. Arcanus walks at the head of a group of knights. The knights themselves take to the stands and move around to stand by Orcy. Arcanus, continues till he stands below Orcy, he nods to him and bows low. "Greetings my Lord. I have come to do battle here in the arena. I would like to accept any challenges that are currently issued. I believe I am up to the challenge and would like to test that theory." Orcy nods toward Arcanus. He places a hand to his chin as if in thought. He nods after a few minutes, his hand falling back to his side. With a bit of a smirk he speaks. "I would be glad to have you in the arena. It would be good to see how skilled the leader of the Knights in this area has become since last we met. However, due to my involvement in this matter, I would suggest that someone else oversees this match. As I would likely be a bit more... inclined to agree with one of my own soldiers." Orcy will fight you, but he'd say someone else will have to DM for the match. He doesn't think he himself DMing a battle he is a part of would be fare to the other player. Though he doesn't try to favor himself, he is human and might make a mistake or two. Pending approval of his character of course...
HauntedHeaven7 08-18-05, 08:34 PM	Im here and ive got time, plus im dming around my local area so id be willing. That ok orcy?
premier666 08-18-05, 08:45 PM	An elf come from the shadows of the arena, and stand near Arcanus. Drauguril raises his hand in a "hello" motion to Arcanus, and go to sit with the crowd. It sure will be interesting, watching the head knight of Von Drache himself in the arena.
Arshes 08-18-05, 08:55 PM	there's some things that Lane doesn't keep in the open. one of them is his membership to any guild. only those who have actually seen in him those guilds (drauguril for one, has seen him in both the royal guards H.Q and the Von Drache Keep. so he knows LAne has a connection with both) oh, and could a dm pleeease review Lane?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 09:00 PM	Im here and ive got time, plus im dming around my local area so id be willing. That ok orcy? Orcy would prefer a GM oversee the match for games rules reasons and all that. Besides, his character as well as Arshes need to be approved first.
HauntedHeaven7 08-18-05, 09:08 PM	Not a problem just offering my services. Ill have a new char for my next fight, ill leave you 2 for your dual.
Sssargoth 08-18-05, 09:57 PM	Ok, Arshes, your charicter has my stamp of approval. :dragon: <---- See? There it is. Orcy, Arcanus also has my stamp of approval. :dragon: The draconic lord of Tyranor walks tward Orcy. "I will oversee the match in your stead, if you don't mind.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 10:02 PM	Orcy nods to Sssargoth and stands from the throne. Moving to take a seat in one of the box seats reserved for the high ranking members of Tyrannor. He leans back in the chair and stretches, ready to watch the coming battle. Meanwhile, Arcanus moves to stand in the arena. Looking toward the Lane, he straightens his cloak and dusts off his armor. The goggles over his eyes flash red once and he smiles. "Alright, what field of battle shall we choose? Do you care which field, as I believe you are the challenger it is my place to choose the field. Is that fine with you?"
Arshes 08-18-05, 10:05 PM	hmm, how about the water arena orcy? i think everyone would like to see how good the other areas are.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 10:09 PM	Hmm... it gives you a slight advantage, what with the cloak. Orcy was thinking more along the lines of the fire arena. But Orcy supposes that water would be... alright.
Arshes 08-18-05, 10:10 PM	we could just have Sssargoth decide for us. it would be completly fair.
Sssargoth 08-18-05, 10:10 PM	The dragon nods and sits in the throne like it was a couch. With his tail wrapped around the base, right leg over the right arm rest. His right arm over the top from behind so his claw is at the front. His wings helping to keep him upright.
Arshes 08-18-05, 10:19 PM	i've got a tornado watch near me, so i may have to postpone this match. :(
Sssargoth 08-18-05, 10:25 PM	just because I feel like being a bastard you will do battle in the forest. Starting Positions: Arcanus: J3 Arshes: K38
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 10:31 PM	Arcanus moves to take his position, securing his weapons and making sure everything is in order. He stretches a bit and claps his hands together. Taking a battle stance at the location specified, he awaits the begining of the battle. "Good luck to you, I will enjoy this battle wether I win or lose." Initiative: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=136557) If you have to leave, go ahead Arshes. We can always continue this when yer able to.
Sssargoth 08-18-05, 10:45 PM	"Let the games begin! And in the immortal word of the green wonder, HOOAH! He raises his left claw in the air as he says this.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 10:48 PM	Orcy raises an eyebrow toward the dragon. He snaps his fingers twice and the ground shifts and changes into a forest like area. Large trees capable of blocking sight rise out of the ground. He clears his throat and takes a reclining position again, mumbling something about stealing his lines.
Arshes 08-18-05, 11:04 PM	Lane entered the arena wearing a sleevless shirt and a pair of ragged pants. Two tattoos can now be seen in his shoulders, one of a great bird, one of it's talons reaching his left hand, and a sun, one of it's rays reaching towards his right wrist. Seeing the arena setting, Lane smiled. Just like the forests of my home country. This will be fun indeed. init: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=136561) since I have a higher init mod, i go first, correct?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 11:05 PM	Yep, yer first.
Arshes 08-18-05, 11:09 PM	Lane dissapeared in a flash. The next second, he appeared infromt of the knight, his foot coming around to the knights head, but missing. He tripped on a vine, landing flat on his face. use abundant step to appear next to the knight, then use flash of the sunset to attack. missed. roll: 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=136570) since i rolled a nat 1, i s'pose i land prone.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-18-05, 11:25 PM	Arcanus jumps back as the monk moves closer before quickly slamming his fist into the ground, energy flowing around his body. His eyes begin to shine and a yellow shimmering light surrounds him. Arcanus moves to brace himself in his position and makes a 'bring it on' motion. Five foot step back and then activating yellow veil and Power within (cha). Arcanus now has concealment (so if you hit theres a 20% chance that you don't actually hit). Also, when you attack Arcanus you take 80 damage (ref for half DC 29) regardless of if you hit or not. (Orcy hasn't used failures like that, so you just miss, instead of falling prone and such)
Arshes 08-19-05, 12:00 AM	Interesting. The rainbow guard in my homeland uses such a technique. Lane said before going to a tree and climbing up it. climb up the tree located at N3 climb check: 38 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=136583)
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 12:09 AM	Arcanus smiles from within his shining shell. Lightning crackling around his body. He weaves his hand about, his skin taking on a greyish tint as his skin grows harder. Afterwards, he draws his sword and laughs. "Come now, you don't plan to fight me anymore? I can always come up there." Casting Stoneskin and drawing my greatsword.
Arshes 08-19-05, 12:14 AM	how tall is the tree?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 12:15 AM	Roughly 30ft to the lower branches, it gets higher but its a bit unstable.
Arshes 08-19-05, 12:22 AM	ok, that means i arrived at the top last round. Lane sat upon the tree branches, his eyes fixed upon Arcanus. Come then knight, for there is surely enough room up here for both of us. using hawk's vision.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 12:32 AM	Arcanus laughs and weaves his hands about. His fists begining to glow slightly then the glow fading. He walks casually to the other tree and stands nearby. His eyes never leaving the monk high in the other tree. He smiles at him before yawning. "Come now, do you really think I can't reach you up there?" Casting true strike and moving to H3.
Arshes 08-19-05, 12:53 AM	i just realized that i have another +24 on my jump checks thanks to my speed. :eek: :D Lane thrust forward towards Arcanus in a spinning motion. He made a perfect spinning kick at the knight in the chest, though he only managed to crack his stone shell. Jump check: 67 Attack: 34 Damage: 11 Reflex save: 17 is the viel subject to spell resistance? and would i have to make a reflex save each time i attacked? or just once a round? position: I3 damage dealt: 1 damage taken: 40 all rolls made under Lane (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Lane&limit=on)
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 01:03 AM	Arcanus doesn't even move under the weight of the kick. He brings his sword back and it's blade bursts into flames. He quickly swings it across the monk's chest in a swift strike, followed shortly afterward by another slash. The second slash however misses his body, the flames dying out shortly after the swings. Using Blades of Fire (swift action) and attacking twice. First attack: 39 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=136602) Second Attack: miss Damage: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=136604) The veil works each time you attack, it says nothing about SR so Orcy would say it doesn't apply. Also don't forget to roll for concealment (20% miss chance) Orcy rolled a d100 this time, but you hit anyway (1-20 = miss).
Arshes 08-19-05, 01:10 AM	well, the viels are supposed to mimic the prismatic wall/sphere spells, right? and those allow spell resistance. but i guess i should wait for Sssargoth to get back online before continuing with this....
Sssargoth 08-19-05, 01:27 AM	Well, the veils arent a Prismatic Wall, each color mimics a color of the Wall, and since the veils arent a Prismatic Wall, I say they arent subject to SR. I read the spell and the ability, several times, before coming up with this conclusion.
Arshes 08-19-05, 01:50 AM	'kay. thanks. Lane took a deep breath before launching a barrage of blows. Out of those, only tow managed to hit. Panting a little and his hair singed from the electricity, Lane took another deep breath as healing energy flowed through his body. Attacks: 22 (miss), 31 (hit), 37 (hit, crit confermed), 13(miss), 15(miss) damage: 13, 17. reflex saves: 24 (fail), 20(fail), 33(save), 32(save, 31(save) miss chance: 42, 37 (both hit) used flurry of blows and dealt 10 damage this round. healed 20 damaged to myself this round, so i have 55hp left. all rolls, as always, made under the name Lane.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 02:03 AM	Arcanus grins and takes a jump back. His blade once again becomes wrapped in flames. He pulls back and hurls the blade directly at the monk, the blade however flies past him, barely missing. The weapon begins to spin and flies straight in a line before flying up into the air and spinning back toward Arcanus. Landing in his hand as if it had never left. 5ft step to G2 Using Blades of Fire as a free action and attacking with the Whirrling blade spell. Attack roll: 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=136644) From what Orcy can tell you have 25 HP left... 20+40+40+40= 140 -20 (heal) = 120 Your HP listed is 145... so 25.
Arshes 08-19-05, 02:13 AM	i healed 30pts. but i didn't count in the 20pts of damage, so it would be 35hp. Lane moved forward for one final attack. Unfortunatly, he was never able to make it. As his foot his the barrier, electricity shot through his body, sending his backwards and crashing into the tree. attack: 27 reflex: 26 :weep: i'm at -5. looks live you've won orcy. it was a good fight though, and i'll need to rethink my tactics.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 02:16 AM	Arcanus bows to Lane as he sheaths his sword. The veil fading from around his body and his skin returning to normal. He reaches a hand down to help him up with a smile on his face. "That was a good fight friend. You fought bravely even when it looked grim. I enjoyed it much, you did well." Good match, Orcy was wondering what you had planned for a bit there.
Arshes 08-19-05, 01:12 PM	i was waiting until the last minute to use quivering palm, but that attacj didn't hit. if it did, then you would have lost because your fort save wasn' high enough. heh. wasn't expecting to see a vield initiate.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 01:21 PM	Well, if you did you quivering palm, Orcy was planning to unleash his green veil. Then you'd have to save or die as well ;)
Arshes 08-19-05, 01:57 PM	but the green viel is a poison effect. i'm immune to poisons. ;) anyway, i'm making a warmage now. perhaps he can have better luck.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-19-05, 03:05 PM	Luckily for Orcy you still had to wait 1 round before you could use an instant death attack (after 6 rounds, not on the 6th). But anyway, do we have anybody who would like to head on into battle now? Orcy claps and walks back down toward his throne. Pushing the dragon out of the throne and sitting down again. He waved a hand to turn the arena back into it's normal state. Stretching, he leaned back to await the next battle.
premier666 08-20-05, 12:25 PM	Hey, Black Mage (that is me) wanna fight in the arena, he just made a chalenge to Ashariana. BUT, I'm waiting the DM's aproval on him, so could any DM please take a look at him? His link is this: http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7011622&postcount=29
Ashariana 08-20-05, 01:39 PM	Ashariana walks back into the arena. Heading up the stairs she moves around to stand near Orcy. She leans over and smiles. "I've been challenged for a gladiator match. I want the fire arena. I think it'll be fun... anyway, thats my choice." She smiles again and hops back up into a standing position. She walks back down into the arena and moves toward one far end of the arena.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-20-05, 01:44 PM	Orcy looks toward the woman and nods. He looked her over once before glancing back toward the arena. It was still a wonder that a woman that looked like that could be so deadly. Then again, it didn't supprise Orcy, after all, he had dealt with some pretty dangerous women in the past. Snapping his fingers a few times, the arena floor began to rise. Steel grating with holes in it formed below Ashariana and rose up above the usual ground by a bit. The floor itself began to descend, a pool of lava forming below the grates. The heat from the lava below coming up and being felt by those on top of the grates. The only thing left for the combatants was to hope the grating would hold during their battle.
premier666 08-20-05, 01:47 PM	Suddenly, a burst of darkness emerges, and from it, The Black Mage; holding his pointy hat in the head with his hand. And I am the chalenger. lets get this started as soon as possible. (Hey, we need to wait orcy, and my character was going to be aproved, but I didn't hear anything from the GM's, so we'll have to wait. HEY GMS, WHERE ARE YOU?)
Sssargoth 08-20-05, 02:09 PM	Ok, premier. Stamp of approval. :dragon:
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-20-05, 02:16 PM	Alright then, positions are as follows... Ashariana: J2 Black Mage: K39
premier666 08-20-05, 02:16 PM	Ok, lets get this started. The Black Mage jumps on the arena, and get ready for the match. Initiative: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=137585) AC: 20 HP: 106 Hey, orcy, I'm PMing you my memorised spells for the match okay?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-20-05, 02:17 PM	Ok, lets get this started. The Black Mage jumps on the arena, and draw his staff. Initiative: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=137585) AC: 20 HP: 106 Hey, orcy, I'm PMing you my memorised spells for the match okay? Alright, but you can't draw your staff until your turn. The battle begins with nothing drawn.
Ashariana 08-20-05, 02:25 PM	Ashariana smiles. She takes up a stance as Black Mage jumps into the arena. As the signal is given, Ashariana quickly begins to move. She weaves her hands and points toward the Black mage. His hand begins to twist and turn, clawing at his wrist as it tries to pull itself free of him. The pain is increadible as it continues to pull at his wrist. Initiative: 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=137584) Casting Grim Revenge, Fort DC 22 or your hand rips itself off dealing 23 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=137586) Ashariana then casually draws her sword.
premier666 08-20-05, 02:43 PM	BM shows little surprise when his hand is ripped from his body. Fort save: faled I've seen this before. He runs foward and put his hand together, and start muttering ancient words. he then disapear from sight Casting invisibility, moving to K33
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-20-05, 02:48 PM	BM shows little surprise when his hand is ripped from his body. Fort save: faled I've seen this before. Now Take that! He runs foward and put his hand together, and start muttering ancient words. Ha... Dou.... KEN!!!! (this is a quote from 8-bit theater) An enormous blast of fire is shoot from his remaining hand, aimimng the defenseless Ashariana. It hits with an enormous explosion. Casting Empowered and quickened scorching ray: Ranged Touch Attack: 26 hit Damage: 18d6: 64 Casting empowered Fire orb: Ranged Touch Attack: 25 hit damage: 22d6: 80 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=137602) Both Scorching ray and Orb of Fire have a range of close (25ft+5/2 levels), Which Orcy doesn't believe is going to reach Ashariana.
premier666 08-20-05, 02:50 PM	yep. I forgot about that.
premier666 08-20-05, 02:53 PM	Edited the post, Asharianna, your turn
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-20-05, 02:55 PM	Casting invisibility, moving to K8 Sorry but uhm, where are you moving? Orcy doesnt see how you can reach K8 from K39
Ashariana 08-20-05, 03:00 PM	Ashariana shrugs. Looking around she taps her foot on the ground and weaves her free hand about, her own body disappearing. She then moves, hidden from the mage, back a bit so as to keep a nice distance. Casting Greater Invisibility and moving to J1.
premier666 08-20-05, 03:01 PM	ok, corrected that.
premier666 08-20-05, 03:08 PM	Bm uses his remaining hand to cast a fireball on Asharianna last known position. Fireball on J3 moving to 29M Damage: 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=137625), reflex cd 21 for half
Ashariana 08-20-05, 03:25 PM	Ashariana isn't able to avoid the spell as the fire rages around her and scorches her skin. She growls, but grins as she notices the mage is now visible. She whispers the words of a spell under her breath and points an invisible finger toward him. His second hand begins to pull against him and try to rip itself free of his body. tearing and clawing at his wrist. His other hand, that had been following him, claws at him now that he is once again visible, failing to claw his body. Ashariana moves to get away from the spot she had just been afterward. Casting a second grim revenge, DC 22 or your hand pulls itself free dealing 16 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=137630). I've also been forgetting about the other hand, so thats going to attack you now as well. Moving to J7
premier666 08-20-05, 03:29 PM	Black mage emits a grasp of pain, as his other hand ataches itself free. Fort save failed. Hey, I got no hand. does it mean I cant cast spells?
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-20-05, 03:31 PM	Black mage emits a grasp of pain, as his other hand ataches itself free. Fort save failed. Hey, I got no hand. does it mean I cant cast spells? Unless you have still spell, which Orcy doesn't think a wizard can apply in the middle of a battle anyway. So yes, it means you can't cast spells. Which... Orcy hadn't thought of before...
premier666 08-20-05, 03:41 PM	Looking rather surprised at his suddenly lack of hands. Black Mage emits a loud sigh. Ok, milady, you won. I cant cast spells without hands, So, I'm defenseless. But, this just confirms what I thought about you anyway. He looks at orcy. Orcy, I resign. She won. Now m'lady, I think we should talk about some business. (Never saw a spellcaster being beaten cause he lacks of hands. Congratulations :D )
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-20-05, 03:43 PM	Orcy nods to Black mage, the arena reverting to it's usual state. He holds up a hand on Ashariana's side of the arena, a bag falling infront of her. "Ashariana is the winner of this fight. Congratulations to you in your first victory as a gladiator in the arena. Even if it was a bit... different."
Ashariana 08-20-05, 03:46 PM	Ashariana smiles as she reappears. Bending over to pick up the bag infront of her she shrugs her shoulders. Walking toward the black mage she smiled sweetly again. She winked as she stopped and spoke in a kind of hurt voice. "Ya know, that fire hurt a bit. But I forgive you anyway. You could have tried to nub me to death or something. That would have been interesting. Now... what is it you wanted to talk about?"
premier666 08-20-05, 03:54 PM	Black Mage wait till his hands are healed, and aproaches Asharianna. Well, I'm a bit embarassed for losing so lamely, but still... That was expected. He adjusts his hat, and cast a spell to clean his robes from his own blood. I was thinking of forging an alliance. A personal one, mind you, not about guilds. From what I hear about your goals, they are compatible with mine. And I'm sure you could find an use to an acomplished spellcaster, now that I've got my hands back. What say you? I wonder if its a curse that characters named Black Mage always lose to girls.
Ashariana 08-20-05, 04:07 PM	Ashariana taps her chin, thinking for a moment. She nods a few times then taps her chin again. She appears deep in thought. Walking around the black mage again she looks him over and nods. "I think I can find a use for a powerful archmage. Yes... I believe I can. I will accept your offer, since from what I have seen of you powers, I am a bit lucky as well. It is an alliance then." She smiles and puts her arm around his as if he were an escort. "Shall we return to the party then?" (yes, it is :P)
premier666 08-20-05, 04:15 PM	Good. I'm sure our alliance will prove usefull to both of us. Now, lets get back to the party. He adjusts his hat and offer his hand. Do you wanna teleport with me, or will you go on foot?
Ashariana 08-20-05, 04:17 PM	Good. I'm sure our alliance will prove usefull to both of us. Now, lets get back to the party. He adjusts his hat and offer his hand. Do you wanna teleport with me, or will you go on foot? Ashariana smiles and takes his hand. She nods to him with a wink. "Lets teleport and make a fancy entrance."
premier666 08-20-05, 04:20 PM	Lets. With one cryptic word, both disapear in a burst of darkness.
premier666 08-24-05, 01:24 PM	Hey orcy, is teleporting alowed in the arena? to move from a position to another, I mean, not for leaing the arena.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-24-05, 02:55 PM	As long as you remain in the arena, you may teleport all you want. However, if you screw up and teleport out of the arena, you lose automatically.
jagggar 09-15-05, 12:45 AM	:bump: Well, I've been doing quite a bit of this recently. Half just wondering, half gotta find notes I know I've taken somewhere. On to the question: Do you have any plans for when the match to find the second gladiator will be, Orcy?
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-15-05, 01:19 AM	:bump: Well, I've been doing quite a bit of this recently. Half just wondering, half gotta find notes I know I've taken somewhere. On to the question: Do you have any plans for when the match to find the second gladiator will be, Orcy? Well... erm... thats a wee bit embarassing. Orcy forgot all about the gladiator matches what with school and the whole war thing. Well... Lets have one now if there are no objections? Orcy will start taking names for those who want to participate. First six people to post in character requesting entry into the battle will be signed up. Sound good or did you have other plans?
thasis 09-15-05, 10:02 AM	Mmm, well I'd be willing to do a battle as Thasis the Evil. Are these lethal battles or practice non-lethal battles?
jagggar 09-15-05, 10:12 AM	Well, the last one was non-lethal, and I expect the same. I don't really have other plans. I had worked out the cash awards for winning the matches previously. I was also going to give the losing participants a small amount of XP which I've also lost. And then, I'd kinda like to try my hand this round, so I need to get my charcter up soon.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-15-05, 12:39 PM	Well, the last one was non-lethal, and I expect the same. I don't really have other plans. I had worked out the cash awards for winning the matches previously. I was also going to give the losing participants a small amount of XP which I've also lost. And then, I'd kinda like to try my hand this round, so I need to get my charcter up soon. Up until now Orcy has been taking care of the XP and gold rewards. Personally he doesn't see why the loser should gain xp... but that isn't really his call to make anymore. He didn't agree with the mass combat changes either (but they went thought ;)). Now, on to the rp... since Orcy has failed you all with his pitiful announcement. Coming next post!
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-15-05, 12:50 PM	Bells ring out from the mountain top. Their echo spreads across all of Tyrannor, signaling an announcement. Orcy stands and looks out through the arena. Gazing past and into the surrounding lands. He nods to himself as his voice booms and spreads throughout Tyrannor. "People of Tyrannor! Those of you who wish to test your mettle, those of you who wish to fight. Come forth once more! These mighty walls call you forth for battle once more... test thy strengths, defeat thy weaknesses, prove yourself a Gladiator!" Orcy would ask that at the bottom of the RP post to sign up you place your name/character. So there are no questions as to which character will participate. Once the character's name has been placed you cannot change characters, unless you quit and possibly give up your spot. COMBATANTS:Premier666/The Black Mage Thasis/Thasis the Evil Sssargoth/Sssargoth (the mini) jagggar/Darby Sargatanas/Sargatanas Arshes/Lane
premier666 09-15-05, 06:30 PM	With A burst of shadow, The Black Mage appears. Put me in this one will ya? I need to defeat someone to see if people stop with the hand jokes. (OOC: And also because I want to cast spells that make the peoples fall down...)
thasis 09-15-05, 06:42 PM	Like I said earlier, I'm willing to fight as Thasis the Evil.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-15-05, 06:46 PM	Like I said earlier, I'm willing to fight as Thasis the Evil. Orcy needs an RP post to set it up. He can't read minds in game... well... he could... he just doesnt want to. *shifty eyes*
Sssargoth 09-15-05, 07:06 PM	Two red dragons come flying into the arena. The larger of the two appears to be carrying something. He carefully drops it opposite Orcy, and it appears to be a rather large couch of solid crystal. The big one then lays on it to watch the festivities. The smaller one lands in the arena and waves at the green wonder. Kinda redundat but whatever... Sssargoth/Sssargoth. See what I mean? :P
jagggar 09-15-05, 07:13 PM	"I would be honored to fight in such a contest." A female warrior states. Eyes are drawn to a solid black tatoo which covers most of the right side of her face and continues down past her neckline. Her hand rests upon the sword at her side. Another sword is strapped to her back as well a bow that seems to be made of bone. From her neck hangs a wooden holy symbol, a dragon's head with three eyes.* jagggar/Darby *Holy symbol subject to change as the fine details of the religion are under construction.
Sargatanas 09-15-05, 07:41 PM	Sargatanas enters the arena with his typical group of undead in tow. He looks around at the others then toward the Half Orc on his throne. He nods to him and motions toward the others. "I, Sargatanas, the Lord of the Damned will fight these men... and woman... and dragon... yes. I will fight them in battle to prove my power. I will do battle to test myself and my enemies, as well as friends I suppose. Right, well thats about all I've come to say." Sargatanas/Sargatanas
Arshes 09-15-05, 07:43 PM	I'd like to put Lane in the fight. If it's not too late.
Sssargoth 09-15-05, 08:46 PM	"I would be honored to fight in such a contest." A female warrior states. Eyes are drawn to a solid black tatoo which covers most of the right side of her face and continues down past her neckline. Her hand rests upon the sword at her side.

Stamp of approval: :dragon:
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-15-05, 08:50 PM	Despite the apparent inability to follow Orcy's directions... (*glare*) :P There are now six combatants signed up. Now all Orcy needs to know is the times you can all be on... Oh... and a check to see if all the characters are approved.
jagggar 09-15-05, 09:06 PM	The best times for me would be Monday-Thursday. I could probably also do it later at night (9 or 10 onward, central time) Friday-Sunday.
thasis 09-15-05, 09:47 PM	Thasis the Evil causualy walks up. "I'm willing to fight any pathetic mortal who thinks they can beat me"
Sargatanas 09-16-05, 01:43 PM	I'm ready to go whenever you want. Just say the word and I should be around to fight.
Ashariana 09-16-05, 05:22 PM	I guess this means I have to wait to beat up the members of the royal guard?
Zombomaniac 09-17-05, 01:01 AM	A tall thin man walks into the Arena. He is dressed in multi-colored clothing, ranging from his green pants, to his violet jacket, from his red shirt to his large blue hat with a over-sized pink feather. At his side he carries a brightly glistening Rapier and you can see a dagger protruding from both his brown boots. He walks with grace and power, quickly making his way to stand before Orcy. He then bows, taking his hat and putting it to his chest as he does. “Greeting, Great Orcy. I am Garland, Lord of the Wagers. I have come to your fine establishment to ask if I may set up shop here.” Garland then raises from his bow and places his hat back upon his head. “You see I am a man of risk, a man of the Bet. I had heard that once there was an establishment that partook in the lucrative business of Gambling, but alas I see them not here and thus must take up this duty for myself. I wish to set up a Betting Booth here in you fine Arena, but wish to seek you permission before building a stand in your most wonderus halls.” OOC: Since Bait hasnt come back I am restarting the betting booth. :)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-17-05, 01:27 AM	Orcy looks toward the man and nods. He waved his hand toward an area in the stands. A slight grin spreading across his face, he laughs a bit. "Of course you may. But know that I may impose some rules, limits to the bets that may be made here. After all... we wouldn't want anybody becoming angry with those of the arena because they lost too much." If the GMs would like to put restrictions on how much can be bet, Orcy is open for it. Just in case the GMs believe it is needed, Orcy is putting it out there.
Zombomaniac 09-17-05, 01:51 AM	Garland bows again to Orcy and smiles. "I will set up my booth now and if you see fit to place restrictions I will abide by them. May I set it up in the stands so as to gain protection from many who might steal from me?" I am making the Betting Booth now. I have taken the core of the old Betting Booth and put it in my new one. I dought there will be to many problems it is very stait forward and equal. Even have rewards set up for a person who loses a lot. :D
premier666 09-17-05, 07:03 AM	Well, I'm online day and night today, and all day tomorrow, what do ye alll think?
Demonfey 09-17-05, 12:54 PM	I'll begin approvals, and send a list to you after I'm done, Orcy. Thasis's depends on two factors: if he has altered his stuff and if the skygge have been approved yet or not.
thasis 09-17-05, 01:23 PM	Altered mein stuff? And has the Skygge been aproved?
Sargatanas 09-19-05, 09:50 AM	How are the approvals coming? Also... why have half the people who posted about taking part in this fight not posted WHEN they can do it?
thasis 09-20-05, 09:44 AM	Oi, I think I'm generally aproved. I worked out all the minor details that were nagging mein character. And lack of posts is cause I got grounded yesterday. Haha! But I'm back. :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-22-05, 05:55 PM	It occurs to Orcy that a good number of the combatants for this upcoming match have not posted for almost a week. He is giving them until the 24th (two days from now) to respond telling him what times they can actually take part in this battle. After which point he is going to boot their characters from it and open up their slots. If you do see this, Orcy wants the times everyone can play, he has so far only heard from two of the posters, and partially from a third. He needs to know when people can take part in this battle, or it is not going to happen. Orcy also asks that those who are taking part in this battle are put to the top of the approval list if they have not already been approved.
Sssargoth 09-22-05, 06:11 PM	Im free anytime from now to the end of monday, guaranteed. after that, I have no idea until tomarrow when I get my scheduel.
jagggar 09-22-05, 06:38 PM	Any night from 10 on should be good for me for the next week. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the day probably aren't likely. Monday-Thursday should be good most all day for me. Far as the characters go, Sssargoth, could you take a look at the Drakmarian (sp) bone and Sargatanas' coffins? I believe that's all that's left to be approved.
Sssargoth 09-22-05, 06:56 PM	Any night from 10 on should be good for me for the next week. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the day probably aren't likely. Monday-Thursday should be good most all day for me. Far as the characters go, Sssargoth, could you take a look at the Drakmarian (sp) bone and Sargatanas' coffins? I believe that's all that's left to be approved. Just took care of that. they look fine. The coffin is here (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20021031x) , btw.
Demonfey 09-22-05, 06:58 PM	So they're good for approval?
Sssargoth 09-22-05, 07:01 PM	So they're good for approval? Yes they are. I would have done it myself if I had known they needed to be approved, not just the items...
Demonfey 09-22-05, 07:05 PM	I put people with items/feats that seem homebrewed on the waiting list. With those approvals, both are set. Now, for the approval sticker! :devil: :devil: One for each of them.
Sssargoth 09-22-05, 07:07 PM	I put people with items/feats that seem homebrewed on the waiting list. With those approvals, both are set. Now, for the approval sticker! :devil: :devil: One for each of them. I like mine better. :dragon: <---- See what I mean?
Demonfey 09-22-05, 07:15 PM	Well, yes, but since you have the dragon, I decided that the demon would do, what with the name and all...also, they're both members of the GoUE, so it fits.
premier666 09-22-05, 07:20 PM	So... were good to go?
jagggar 09-22-05, 07:30 PM	As soon as we get times from everyone.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-22-05, 09:20 PM	So... were good to go? Is Orcy being unclear about wanting to know what days and times people can take part in this battle? Because he seems to be getting ignored completely on the matter except by the few who he has already heard from. Currently he still needs this information from Arshes, Premier666, and Thasis. Though a couple of them have posted, they have NOT said when they can be on for the begining of the fight. Orcy needs everyone here for the begining for initiative and all that...
thasis 09-23-05, 12:33 AM	I post mainly when I can. Usualy after school and late at night. I'm ready for the battle if I'm still in. And mein character has been aproved... because I'm that cool :D
Demonfey 09-23-05, 12:48 AM	Actually, its because the GMs are that cool...
premier666 09-23-05, 10:05 AM	I can post everyday from 18h GMT -2 (that means, if I'm not mistaken, 17h in USA), till 1am of the next day
Sargatanas 09-23-05, 10:08 AM	Like I said, I can do this thing pretty much any time. Just tell me when and I'll be here.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-23-05, 04:42 PM	So currently we are just waiting to hear from Arshes. If he doesn't post by later today, Orcy will be chosing someone else to fill his place. So if anybody wants a chance at becoming a gladiator... Orcy suggests you post, WITH the times you can take part. Orcy would prefer to have everyone online at the same time. But he may just end up saying roll initiative then starting once he has everyone's initiative... hoping that people can actually keep track of who is after who and all that... he hasn't decided yet.
Arshes 09-23-05, 07:18 PM	i'll be able to post all tonight, and 5-10 on this weekend.
Abicus Acton 09-25-05, 10:27 PM	When will this battle take place? I would like to test out my mage-dueling skills when possible.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-25-05, 11:31 PM	Everyone just roll initiative. We'll do this when people can. It may be a long wait between turns, but everyone roll initiative and Orcy will see what the order is when he has all of them.
Sssargoth 09-26-05, 12:06 AM	Innitiative (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=156484) : 15
Sargatanas 09-26-05, 12:19 AM	Initiative: 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=156529) Wow, that sucks
gabrion 09-26-05, 02:15 AM	Hey Orcy, sorry to interupt what you all are doing, but I have a question for you about the rules. Right now you don't allow any spells or spell effects to be active upon entering the arena. I'm wondering if this shouldn't be changed to accomodate spells with especially long durations. It seems like the point of arena combat is to simulate a fight between two characters that might take place at any given time on an average day. Since some spellcaster normally have spells active from the time the get up until they go to sleep (either because the spells' durations are really long or because they use persistent spell or the like), wouldn't it make sense to allow such "passive" buffs in the arena? One example that comes to mind is ironwood. Many druids use this spell to create weapons or armor, but if no spells are allowed to be active until the match starts, such weapons and armor would be illegal. While no one wants to allow a caster to use a bunch of 1 minute/CL buffs before a match, I think spells that would last all day should be allowed. I asked you this same question in the last incarnation of the Arena, and you seemed to be against it, but I thought I would try again. In case you are interested the CoCo has dealt with this same issue by allowing "pre-buffs" (spells with a duration of more than 16 hours) to be active at the start of a match. Thanks for reading this.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-26-05, 09:38 AM	Yes, Orcy supposes he forgot to write that rule in didn't he? Origionally he was going to do a spell over 8 hours is allowed. But he thinks 16 sounds better. Which he believes he did indeed allow before, the last time you brought this up. Either way, there it is.
gabrion 09-26-05, 12:19 PM	Hey, thanks for the quick response Orcy. Truth be told I wasn't sure what happened last time cause I left the IFGW soon after asking and never actually participated in the arena. Hopefully when I get my character done I'll actually give it a go this time. Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
premier666 09-26-05, 03:32 PM	Initiative: 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=156918) I'll be online in two to trhee hours.
thasis 09-26-05, 05:57 PM	I got 26 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Thasis%20the%20E vil#161311)
jagggar 09-26-05, 06:44 PM	Darby takes here place on the battlefield. She unsheaths the sword at her side and sticks it into the ground and kneels before it. "Father, guide my blade, let my strikes land true. Rejoice that this battle's bloodshed shall not stain the ground forever, Mother." Her prayer lasts a few moments more in whispers, then she rises and draws her sword from the ground and wipes it off before resheathing it. 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157047) And what are our positions?
jagggar 09-26-05, 06:55 PM	"The Lords of Tyranor shall again present the winner with an additional prize. The sum of 6000 gold shall be awarded to the top competitor."
Zombomaniac 09-26-05, 11:13 PM	The Lord of wages calls to those in the Arena from his booth in the stands. "Remember bets can be made and winning bets will show profit for those who bet them!" OOC: I will have the rules for betting remade and posted soon. For now just look to the post that the only current "Supporter" made on the new rules. It is pretty clear. I will also have the booth itself stated out once time permits. :)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-28-05, 12:25 PM	Since Arshes is apparently grounded, someone can take his place. If you wish to take his place, tell Orcy and he will put you on the list. Roll initiative while you happen to be at it... Current Initiative Order: Thasis 26 Darby 21 Sssargoth 15 Black Mage 13 Sargatanas 9
jagggar 09-28-05, 12:44 PM	Oh, what about starting positions?
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-28-05, 12:57 PM	*grumbles* she wants everything that is important and needed for the battle... sheesh... ;) :P The Black Mage: C3 Thasis the Evil: A20 Sssargoth: C38 Darby: R38 Sargatanas: T21 ??Mystery Combatant??: R3 Also remember everyone, no weapons/staves/wands/boom sticks out before the battle starts. Also, basic arena.
Abicus Acton 09-28-05, 08:02 PM	I would like to join the match. However, my character is not approved. I need only to make one minor adjustment, and I believe he will then be finished. <<Edit:>> Made the adjustment. My character is finished, it just needs to be approved.
necrodude16 09-28-05, 09:10 PM	High above the Mountain's Top, a shadow creeps into existance. The shadow is the tyrannorian avatar of Kayne Shadowborne, Herald of The Ultimate. He casually floats down and watches the fight.
Solmund 09-28-05, 09:55 PM	well, I won't be able to fight in this one, but can I reserve a spot in the next gladiator trial?
thasis 09-28-05, 11:22 PM	Mmm, welcome back Necrodude. Havn't seen you around much.
Demonfey 09-29-05, 12:33 AM	Abicus, you are approved.
necrodude16 09-29-05, 01:31 AM	Mmm, welcome back Necrodude. Havn't seen you around much. Oh...I've been around.... ;)
Abicus Acton 09-29-05, 06:24 PM	Initiative = 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=158966)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-30-05, 01:21 AM	The Green Wonder stands and holds a hand up in the air. Awaiting the combatants to take their positions. He lowers the hand and clenches it into a fist, sending his fist into the air and calling down lighning bolts to strike the ground around him. "HOOAH!" Psst, thats your que. The order and position on the basic battle grid is as follows... Thasis 26 (A20) Darby 21 (R38) Sssargoth 15 (C38) Black Mage 13 (C3) Abicus Acton 10 (R3) Sargatanas 9 (T21)
thasis 09-30-05, 09:59 AM	So the first 2 people who are fighting are me vs Jaggar's character?
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-30-05, 10:03 AM	So the first 2 people who are fighting are me vs Jaggar's character? No, its a free for all. Everyone is fighting at the same time. You "won initiative" as it goes.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-01-05, 01:55 PM	Thasis, you can start this match up when yer ready. Orcy doesn't expect everyone to be on at the same time for this one, so it may go slow. The sooner we get it started the better.
Abicus Acton 10-01-05, 03:01 PM	I forgot to add a few costly material components to my character sheet, so I hope it's okay if I put them in now. Also, PMing my prepared spells.
thasis 10-01-05, 03:42 PM	Mmmm... I can start can I... Well where are the locations off everybody. Where am I standing for that matter? How far away is Darby?
Abicus Acton 10-01-05, 03:48 PM	Orcy already posted everyone's positions at least twice: The Green Wonder stands and holds a hand up in the air. Awaiting the combatants to take their positions. He lowers the hand and clenches it into a fist, sending his fist into the air and calling down lighning bolts to strike the ground around him. "HOOAH!" Psst, thats your que. The order and position on the basic battle grid is as follows... Thasis 26 (A20) Darby 21 (R38) Sssargoth 15 (C38) Black Mage 13 (C3) Abicus Acton 10 (R3) Sargatanas 9 (T21) I assume we're using the Basic Arena map, a link of which is in the first post of the thread.
Demonfey 10-01-05, 03:50 PM	Look at one of Orcy's posts upstream, and then look at the agreed upon map, Thasis.
thasis 10-01-05, 11:45 PM	Sorry... I've never fought in the arena before. Hell I've never fought with Thasis the Evil before. And I didn't relize that those little A20 things and such forth were the positions. Thanx for clarifying ^^
thasis 10-01-05, 11:50 PM	Thasis the Evil moves down a few feet and then left some. He then draws his Greatsword and then goes into a defensive position. I move down 15ft and left 15ft. I then draw my Greatsword. I don't have my PHB on me right now, but I'm pretty sure I can still go into full defensive with the amount of time I have in my turn. So if I can I do that.
jagggar 10-02-05, 01:37 AM	Darby moves slightly along the wall, swiftly removing the bow from her back and letting three arrows fly at Sargatanas. 5-foot step to S37. Full attack, GC - attacks against Sargatanas (1d20+17=32, 1d20+12=23, 1d20+7=12) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=159909). Damage 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=159910). Rolling under Darby.
Sssargoth 10-02-05, 12:01 PM	Sssargoth gets a running start, and takes to the air in the direction of Thasis the evil. Flying to C26. I am 40 feet above the ground
premier666 10-02-05, 02:26 PM	BM moves back a bit, and begin enchanting some words in an ancient language. A ball of pure eletricity begins to form at his hand. His hands points towards Abicus Aton. Thunder! Trowing A Fireball, transformed into lighting by mastery of the elements (archmage). DC21 29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=160188) damage EDIT MOVING TO A5
Abicus Acton 10-02-05, 07:06 PM	Reflex = 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=160252) With a flick of the wrist and a quick utterance, Abicus's skin takes on a rocky texture and countenance. He then casts another spell, bringing a shimmering magical field about him as he draws his staff. Cast Quickened Stoneskin and Spell Turning, then drew Staff of Transmutation. Spell Turning = 8 spell levels to be turned (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=160254)
Sargatanas 10-02-05, 10:30 PM	Sargatanas looks down at the arrow that suddenly appears in his chest. He looks toward Darby then back at the arrow and at Darby again. "Ow... you shot me. That was NOT nice!" Sargatanas lifts a hand and motions toward Darby. A pair or huge red dragon skeletons appearing, one on each side of her. They each let loose a full flury of attacks. Sargatanas uses summon undead IV to summon two young adult red dragon skeletons in flanking position on Darby. Dragon One: Hit- Bite, both claws, tail Miss-both wings Dragon Two: Hit- Bite, One claw, One wing Miss- One claw, one Wing, tail Dragon One damage: Bite: 25 Claw1: 11 Claw2: 13 Tail: 20 Dragon Two damage: Bite: 18 Claw: 8 Wing: 6 Total Damage: 101 Attacks and Damages (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Sargatanas&limit=on)
jagggar 10-03-05, 02:17 AM	I believe the second dragon's bite hits and the tail misses.
Sargatanas 10-03-05, 02:19 PM	I believe the second dragon's bite hits and the tail misses. Eh... whoops. You are right, I'll modify my post with the right damage.
Abicus Acton 10-03-05, 03:11 PM	Whoa, wait a minute. I did not catch this before. Premier666, could you please roll to overcome Spell Resistance with that Fireball? I have SR 18 from my Robe of the Archmagi.
thasis 10-03-05, 06:16 PM	Thasis the Evil calmly walks toward Ssargoth. His eyes then start to glow red (or more red) with burning arcane energies. He then throws his hands forword and lets loose a fireball at Ssargoth. I move to C23 and then cast a fireball (DC19 Save) that deals 21 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Thasis%20the%20E vil#161575) damage.

NOTE: QUOTED TO KEEP ANYTHING FROM CHANGING.
gabrion 10-03-05, 06:34 PM	You throw a fireball at a RED dragon? Well it's a skeleton after all so I'm not sure how well you could see the coloring. Too bad in this case it does have immunity.
Demonfey 10-03-05, 06:38 PM	Sssargoth isn't a skeleton. The target is Sssargoth. Your confusing Sargatanas's summoned undead and Sssargoth here, Gabrion
gabrion 10-03-05, 07:05 PM	You throw a fireball at a RED dragon? The target is Sssargoth. Your confusing Sargatanas's summoned undead and Sssargoth Confused. I'm not sure how your two comments make sense together. :confused:
Demonfey 10-03-05, 07:11 PM	Sargatanas: summoned two red dragon skeletons. He is fighting Jagggar. Sssargoth, Thasis's target, is a living red dragon. They are fighting different opponents at the same time.
Sssargoth 10-03-05, 07:14 PM	Confused. I'm not sure how your two comments make sense together. :confused: Easy, Im also a red dragon, and the target of an un-modified fireball spell. :D The flying dragon rolls his eyes at Thasis the evil and his pointless waste of a spell. "Ow, that fireball really hurt me, being a RED DRAGON!!!!! Becides, Sargatanas is our common enemy, you twit."
gabrion 10-03-05, 09:49 PM	Easy, Im also a red dragon, and the target of an un-modified fireball spell. Apologies Demonfey, I now see my mistake. Dope!
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-03-05, 09:51 PM	Orcy is going to dig back through this stuff... *digs with his pitch-shork* Darby should be up...
Abicus Acton 10-03-05, 09:51 PM	What's a pitch-shork? :confused:
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-03-05, 09:55 PM	What's a pitch-shork? :confused: The larger cousin of the spork. A cross between a pitch fork and a shovel.
jagggar 10-03-05, 09:59 PM	Could I have a little more exact positions on the dragon skeletons?
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-03-05, 10:02 PM	Could I have a little more exact positions on the dragon skeletons? Orcy only sees two possible ways that a pair of huge dragons could flank Darby in her currently location. Which would also happen to block off any way of escaping the area other than tumbling through their area. Though he can't really speak for Sargatanas.
thasis 10-03-05, 10:12 PM	Mmm... Ssargoth is a red dragon? I should probally find out more about the enemies before I attack them. *shakes fist* damn hippies... But anywayz, So this is a free-for all? Not alignment vs Alignment?
premier666 10-03-05, 10:16 PM	Whoa, wait a minute. I did not catch this before. Premier666, could you please roll to overcome Spell Resistance with that Fireball? I have SR 18 from my Robe of the Archmagi. Sure! here it is By the way, spell power (from archmage) makes my Caster level becomes 16. result: 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=160803) EDIT: BTW< whose turn is it now?
Zombomaniac 10-03-05, 10:17 PM	Ya it is a free for all. You take on who you feel like taking on. :cool:

jagggar 10-03-05, 10:41 PM	It's my turn. Orcy only sees two possible ways that a pair of huge dragons could flank Darby in her currently location. Which would also happen to block off any way of escaping the area other than tumbling through their area. Though he can't really speak for Sargatanas. I only see one way (R34-T36, O37-Q39). What's the other? But couldn't I move past them diagonally by R37 to Q36? I'd like to know where the skeletons are before I act, but in the mean time, reaction to his attack. Darby utters a few curses in Abyssal as she's struck. Some of her wounds seem to close themselves up a little. Healing armor (2d8+3=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=160815) Gods this sucks. HP: 20

HP: 20 Sound about right, Orcy says go for it since Sargatanas didn't specify.
jagggar 10-04-05, 03:36 AM	Darby carefully makes her way around the skeletons doing her best to avoid another attack. As she makes her way past them she swings her bow back and draws the sword at her side. Total Defense, Move to G38, "sheathe" bow as part of move action, draw Mother's Mercy as free action. The skeletons each get an AoO against AC 33 (25, +4 mobility, +4 total defense).
Sssargoth 10-04-05, 12:58 PM	The dragon makes a widing flight path twards Sargatanas, and unleashes his firey breath of doomly-doomness. The flight takes him over the water, twards the dragon skeletons, and back in the direction of Sargatanas, ending at Q27. Still 40 feet in the air. Breath weapon: 15 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161047) DC 20 reflex save. 2 rounds (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161048) until I can use my breath weapon again.
premier666 10-04-05, 01:29 PM	Black mage forms a circle with his both hands, and mutters a few words. In front of him, a rainbow colored eye appears. It floats towards Abicus Aton, and emit an Indigo colored ray of light. The ray hits him in the head. His mind starts to become more and more confused, as BM's dark magic begins to take efect... Casting Prismatic eye. Using move-equivalent action to send the eye to J3 Using free action to aim a random ray (6) wich means indigo ray. It hits for 19. Abicus now need to make a will save DC24 or go Insane, as insanity spell. Here are the rolls (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=&u=BM&limit=on) EDIT: domely doomness...? EDIT two: SR test: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161071)
Sargatanas 10-04-05, 01:39 PM	The mighty dragon skeletons lean down. Their massive jaws snapping toward Darby. One of the dragons manages to close it's jaws down upon her. I'm not sure where full defensive is... i remember it in 3.0. But in 3.5 all I can find is fighting defensively. Which gives a +2 to armor instead of a +4, and if I remember right about full defensive. You needed to use a full round to take full defense. Dragon Attacks: 37 (crit), 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161063) Back up roll: 30 (no crit) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161066) Damage: 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161070) Fire Breath save: 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161076) This isn't my turn, its just my reactions that I need to make before my turn. Abicus is before me I think.
premier666 10-04-05, 02:16 PM	Oh boy, I forgot spell turning... :eek: Does that means, I'm now, facing a freak ray on MY head, or does it go back to the "actual caster" of the ray? (the eye?)
jagggar 10-04-05, 02:34 PM	Well, Darby's out. :P *goes off to threaten the dicebot with reprogramming even though she has absolutely no hacker skillz* Total Defense You can defend yourself as a standard action. You get a +4 dodge bonus to your AC for 1 round. Your AC improves at the start of this action. You can’t combine total defense with fighting defensively or with the benefit of the Combat Expertise feat (since both of those require you to declare an attack or full attack). You can’t make attacks of opportunity while using total defense.
Sargatanas 10-04-05, 02:38 PM	Well, Darby's out. :P *goes off to threaten the dicebot with reprogramming even though she has absolutely no hacker skillz* Ah... not that it matters, but mobility is a dodge bonus, and that is a dodge bonus, would they stack? Ah well, like I said, it doesnt matter.
Demonfey 10-04-05, 02:41 PM	Just out of curiousity, do downed enemies get teleported out, or carried out when not in a death match, and when it's a multiple person fight?
jagggar 10-04-05, 02:47 PM	I think dodge bonuses are the only type that stacks with other bonuses of the same type (other than unnamed).
premier666 10-04-05, 02:53 PM	I think dodge bonuses are the only type that stacks with other bonuses of the same type (other than unnamed). Yeah, I cna atest that, its on one of the first pages of the DMG I think.

If the indigo ray is part of the Prismatic Ray spell attack, then the whole spell would be turned back upon you, I believe. What level is the spell?
Abicus Acton 10-04-05, 08:06 PM	Premier never rolled for SR for the fireball, and the Prismatic Eye has not been resolved yet, but I suppose I can take my turn until that gets straightened out. Abicus Acton points his staff at the Black Mage, and a green ray springs from it. Expending 3 charges from my Staff of Transmutation to use Disintegrate on Black Mage. Ranged Touch Attack = 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161253) Fort save (DC 25) or Damage = 120 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161255) On a successful save: Damage = 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161256)
premier666 10-04-05, 08:33 PM	BM look amazed as his ray bounces back to him, but he imediatly shakes of the efect. Here is the fortitude save, but before I'm dead, doesn't the arena have rules against inst-death spells? Fortitude Save: 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161266) Any item resulting in the instant death or the instant subdual of an opponent is not allowed in combat until 8 rounds have passed. ________________________________________ _________________________ If the indigo ray is part of the Prismatic Ray spell attack, then the whole spell would be turned back upon you, I believe. What level is the spell? level 6 but the spell, cast each ray at a time, so I got that ray right back at me right? that means I gotta make a will save. So, here it is: 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161263) BTW, I rolled SR for the fireball, look it up!

In 3.5 however, it deals 2d6 damage per level. So technically it isn't a death effect any more.
Abicus Acton 10-04-05, 08:49 PM	BTW, I rolled SR for the fireball, look it up! Whoops, I guess I missed it (or forgot about it).
premier666 10-04-05, 08:53 PM	Ray hits Black Mage in the chest, and he disintegrates, becoming nothing more then dust. Thats it dudes. I'm out. And, I'm Re-ading disitegrate to my repertoire. (Hey Demonfey you just lost 10k! :P )

(Hey Demonfey you just lost 10k! :P ) Disintegrate is a very powerful spell, certainly overlooked by many spellcasters. I believe it is now Sargatanas's turn.
premier666 10-04-05, 09:03 PM	Disintegrate is a very powerful spell, certainly overlooked by many spellcasters. I believe it is now Sargatanas's turn. I've always had that spell on BM's spellbok, but I thought it was a instakill spell, so I did not memorise it today in the arena.
Demonfey 10-04-05, 09:25 PM	Ray hits Black Mage in the chest, and he disintegrates, becoming nothing more then dust. Thats it dudes. I'm out. And, I'm Re-ading disitegrate to my repertoire. (Hey Demonfey you just lost 10k! :P ) At least I bet on you to win.
premier666 10-04-05, 11:16 PM	So far in this arena BM has been literally disarmed, and desintegrated. What do ya guys think will be next? Eaten by a dragon? send into the nine hells?
Abicus Acton 10-04-05, 11:33 PM	So far in this arena BM has been literally disarmed, and desintegrated. What do ya guys think will be next? Eaten by a dragon? send into the nine hells? I could arrange for both. ;)
Demonfey 10-04-05, 11:37 PM	I know what's next: He's going to be bitten by an irate half dragon warlock that just lost 5K on him (after all: NE). Wouldn't you do something similar to someone that just lost you 5K?
Sssargoth 10-04-05, 11:51 PM	So far in this arena BM has been literally disarmed, and desintegrated. What do ya guys think will be next? Eaten by a dragon? send into the nine hells? I could personally take care of the first one. :D
Abicus Acton 10-04-05, 11:55 PM	I know what's next: He's going to be bitten by an irate half dragon warlock that just lost 5K on him (after all: NE). Wouldn't you do something similar to someone that just lost you 5K? Well, technically, since I had to expend 3 charges from my staff, I used 3,900 gp to kill him (3 charges is 6% of the staff, which is priced at 65,000 gp).
Demonfey 10-05-05, 12:08 AM	Yeah, but then again, you have money on yourself, so you stand to gain from it. I just lost money.
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 12:40 AM	Sargatanas turns and walks toward Sssargoth. He stops nearby below him. Raising his hand high into the air black smoke forms around Sssargoth. It takes on form and four dragon skeletons appear around Sssargoth. All of the dragons reach out to take hold of him as they begin to fall. Meanwhile the other dragons turn and rush toward the Skygge called thasis, sending their massive jaws snapping toward him. The fourth dragon of the falling group lands on the ground having been only slightly above it, standing in a position so as to block Abicus's view of Sargatanas. Sargatanas moves to R26 and casts summon undead V, forming four young adult red dragons in the air near Sssargoth. They then reach out and try to grapple him. Touch attacks: 35, 30, 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161384) Grapple Checks: 28, 33, 41 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161394) The two dragons that killed Jagggar charge thasis and attack with their bites. 35, 38 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161411) Dragon Damage: 18, 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161412) Dragon positions: A-F 25-27 (near thasis) N27-29, O-P 24-29, Q24-30, R-S 28-30, R-T 23-25
Demonfey 10-05-05, 12:59 AM	:mymy: Mental note: always bet on Sargatanas in the arena.
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 01:01 AM	:mymy: Mental note: always bet on Sargatanas in the arena. And give him a share of the winnings! *shakes dragon corpses at Demonfey*
jagggar 10-05-05, 01:07 AM	:mymy: Mental note: always bet on Sargatanas in the arena. What if he's battling Ashariana?
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 01:09 AM	What if he's battling Ashariana? I'm undead. Neither the hand ripping thing or the mind control would have any effect on me.
Demonfey 10-05-05, 01:10 AM	Exactly. Ashariana's main weakness is undead and constructs, since she can't mentally control either one of them like the living.
Sssargoth 10-05-05, 01:54 AM	Opposed grapple check 1: 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161455) Opposed grapple check 2: 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161457) Opposed grapple check 3: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161459)
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 02:00 AM	Opposed grapple check 1: 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161455) Opposed grapple check 2: 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161457) Opposed grapple check 3: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161459) All three dragons take ahold of Sssargoth and fall to the ground, slamming down in a violent impact. Falling Damage (40ft): 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161463)
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 04:16 PM	Lets see who is up... Thasis 26 Darby 21 Sssargoth 15 Black Mage 13 Abicus Acton 10 Sargatanas 9 Color = dead So... Thasis, Sssargoth, Abicus, Me...
Abicus Acton 10-05-05, 06:24 PM	Sargatanas, could you clarify where your dragons are? I believe there are 6 of them, each of Huge size (15 ft. x 15 ft. space). So, I believe each would cover 3 squares on each axis.
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 06:27 PM	Sargatanas, could you clarify where your dragons are? I believe there are 6 of them, each of Huge size (15 ft. x 15 ft. space). So, I believe each would cover 3 squares on each axis. I did already, read upward.
Abicus Acton 10-05-05, 06:37 PM	I did already, read upward. Yeah, and I can't understand it, which is why I asked to clarify. :) Dragon positions: A-F 25-27 (near thasis) N27-29, O-P 24-29, Q24-30, R-S 28-30, R-T 23-25 I believe this means there are two side-by-side near Thasis, one at A-C 25-27 and the other at D-F 25-27. The second row is more confusing. Is the first at N-P 27-29? I'm not sure about the next one, O-P is only 2 squares, and they occupy 3. And 24-29 is 6 squares, I believe, which is 2 more dragons? But the rest of the coordinates would make it seem like there are more than 6 dragons....
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 06:41 PM	Yeah, and I can't understand it, which is why I asked to clarify. :) I believe this means there are two side-by-side near Thasis, one at A-C 25-27 and the other at D-F 25-27.

But the rest of the coordinates would make it seem like there are more than 6 dragons.... I didn't post them for each at a time. I posted what squares are taken up by the dragons. They come out to 3 squares each if you put them into paint or something.
Abicus Acton 10-05-05, 06:51 PM	I didn't post them for each at a time. I posted what squares are taken up by the dragons. They come out to 3 squares each if you put them into paint or something. Huh, so it does. To make it easier, I believe their positions are (correct me if I'm wrong): 1st Dragon: A-C 25-27 2nd Dragon: D-F 25-27 3rd Dragon: O-Q 24-26 4th Dragon: N-P 27-29 5th Dragon: R-T 23-25 6th Dragon: Q-S 28-30 <<Edit:>> Wait, wasn't one of the dragons supposed to be standing between the two of us?
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 07:15 PM	Huh, so it does. To make it easier, I believe their positions are (correct me if I'm wrong): 1st Dragon: A-C 25-27 2nd Dragon: D-F 25-27 3rd Dragon: O-Q 24-26 4th Dragon: N-P 27-29 5th Dragon: R-T 23-25 6th Dragon: Q-S 28-30 <<Edit:>> Wait, wasn't one of the dragons supposed to be standing between the two of us? Yes, those are the locations of all the dragons. One IS between us. The "5th dragon" on your list. You never moved from R3 where you started. I'm in R26. On the other side of dragon 5.
Abicus Acton 10-05-05, 07:52 PM	Yes, those are the locations of all the dragons. One IS between us. The "5th dragon" on your list. You never moved from R3 where you started. I'm in R26. On the other side of dragon 5. Ah yes, I didn't notice you moved. I believe it's Thasis's turn next.
thasis 10-05-05, 09:16 PM	Thasis turns to Sargantas walks 30ft toward him and says "Well friend, it seems as if we must fight". He then chants a spell and casts a fireball at Sargantas. I'm currently at some square (once I can get on the computer again I'll post the cordinites. I'm kinnda busy. Just didn't want to keep the game held up. The DC for the Fireball is 19 and I deal 20 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/addtodatabase.asp) damage.
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 09:36 PM	Sargatanas begins to move but doesn't get out of the way fast enough. The fireball covers him and the dragons nearby. The dragons however just continue their own works without any reactions. The dragons near Thasis however, bring their massive jaws down to close around Thasis, only one digging into his flesh. Reflex Save: 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161918) Dragon AOOs: 37, 18 (nat 20, nat 1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161914) Crit Backup: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161915) Dragon Damage: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161916)
thasis 10-05-05, 09:59 PM	Thasis roars in pain and shouts random cures in Abysall at Sargantas.
Sssargoth 10-05-05, 10:00 PM	The dragon starts laughing as everything near him is hit with a cluster of 5 electric orbs. "I always knew I had a shocking personality!" An augmented Energy Missile power, with the electric element. Reflex save DC 19 for half. Im just going to roll once, instead of each ball. The targets are the 4 skeletons around me and Sargatanas. Power 1: 12 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161923) thats just so wrong... EDIT: Didnt realize you onlu get 1 standard action a round, even if you dont, or cant, move. EDIT 2: Concentration check for manifesting while grappled: 39 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161931)
Demonfey 10-05-05, 10:04 PM	Ow. That pun was painful...
Sssargoth 10-05-05, 10:09 PM	Ow. That pun was painful... Auditory component of the power. Had to think up something witty. :D
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 10:25 PM	Sargatanas moves out of the way of the orb, taking only a bit of a nick from it's energy. All of the dragons but one take the orb full on, the single dragon that is not grappling being the one to dodge partially. Saves: 20, 18, 17, 13, 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161929)
Abicus Acton 10-05-05, 10:33 PM	Abicus waves his hand and a golden bead appears suspended in mid air. "Too bad all the dragons are of the red variety, or they'd all be INCINERATED!" The golden bead flies past the skeletal dragon and lands at the feet of Sargatanas, exploding in a burst of flame. Empowered Fireball = 59 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161936) Reflex DC 22 for half damage.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-05-05, 11:06 PM	Since Thasis didn't mention where he intended to move, and said 30ft toward Sargatanas. Orcy is going to place him in squares H-I 26-27 (since a Skygge is size large and takes up four squares). This way we can continue on with the fight.
Sargatanas 10-05-05, 11:45 PM	Yeesh, don't you guys have other people to gang bang? Reflex Save: 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161939) Sargatanas holds out his hand toward Abicus while walking away from him, chanting quitely. He clenches his hand as if holding something in it, squeezing what appears to be nothing. Abicus however, can feel a preasure on his heart. The Dragons grappling Sssargoth begins clawing and tearing at his body, ripping into him to tear him apart with their might. The fourth dragon of that area begins to move toward Abicus. Heading after him and stopping around fifteen feet away. One of the final pairs of dragons bends down and tears into Thasis from where it stands. The other, further north in the arena, makes it's way around it's fellow and snaps at Thasis with it's bite. Sargatanas casts Clutch of Orcus, DC 20 fort save or be paralyzed and take 1d3 damage each round. New save each round. SR: 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161957) Dragon attacks VS Sssargoth: rolls (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161958) Bites: 29, 16, 32 (two hit) Claw 1: 22, 21, 20 (two hit) Claw 2: 17, 10, 21 (one hit) Wing 1: 10, 22, 13 (one hit) Wing 2: 19, 15, 13 (one hit) Tail: 20, 13, 15 (one hit) Dragon Damage: rolls (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161959) Bites: 18, 19 Claws: 14, 13, 11 Wings: 8, 8 Tail: 26 Dragon attacks VS thasis: rolls (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161961) Bite: 37 (possible crit), 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161962) Claws: 31, 23 (one hit) Wings: 22, 26 (one hit) Tail: 21 Dragon 2's Bite: 32 Dragon Damage: rolls (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161965) Bite: 21 Claw: 12 Wing: 9 Bite 2: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161967) Total VS Sssargoth: 117 (128 after forgotten claw roll) Total VS Thasis: 59 Must never summon so many things again... too much rolling. Also, the dice roller is taunting me with nat 20s and horrible backups... Edit: add another 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161971) damage to Sssargoth. Not that it matters, I think hes dead.
Demonfey 10-05-05, 11:49 PM	And you just mentioned why everyone's trying to kill you. :D
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 12:16 AM	Sargatanas, what is the level of that Clutch of Orcus spell? I still have 2 levels left of Spell Turning, even though I doubt it's such a low level. Fort = 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161983)
Sssargoth 10-06-05, 12:17 AM	And you just mentioned why everyone's trying to kill you. :D he just wanted to kill me for my shocking personality. The dragon starts to get ripped apart before the magic of the arena teleports him, fully healed, into the stands. "I hope you go down you psycho!" yeah, I'm out.
Demonfey 10-06-05, 12:19 AM	*You hear muffled cursing underneath you, Sssargoth, and what sounds like "get off me"*
Sargatanas 10-06-05, 12:22 AM	Sargatanas, what is the level of that Clutch of Orcus spell? I still have 2 levels left of Spell Turning, even though I doubt it's such a low level. Fort = 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=161983) Third level spell from Libris Mortis.
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 12:24 AM	Third level spell from Libris Mortis. Close. But, then again, you probably don't even have a heart, being undead. Thasis is up again, I believe.
Sargatanas 10-06-05, 12:26 AM	Close. But, then again, you probably don't even have a heart, being undead. Thasis is up again, I believe. Have a heart... no really, I don't need mine.
Zombomaniac 10-06-05, 12:40 AM	Have a heart... no really, I don't need mine. *Grabs Sargatanas's heart* Thanks i've been looking for one of these. :D
Sargatanas 10-06-05, 12:46 AM	*Grabs Sargatanas's heart* Thanks i've been looking for one of these. :D Hey, watch it... I'm in the middle of arena combat here. That heart needs to stay where it is for now. *sets off fake explosive heart*
Zombomaniac 10-06-05, 12:54 AM	Hey, watch it... I'm in the middle of arena combat here. That heart needs to stay where it is for now. *sets off fake explosive heart* if you weren't already dead . . . and of great use . . . and really power . . . and, ya who am I kidding I'm not going to kill you. :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-06-05, 05:37 PM	After calculations and an almost false declaration of Thasis' early demise, Orcy has determined Thasis is still standing (barely). So it is indeed his turn. Order is... Thasis Abicus Sargatanas
Demonfey 10-06-05, 06:30 PM	REALLY should've bet on Sargatanas. :doh:
thasis 10-06-05, 07:12 PM	Thasis looks at Sargantas with the blood streaming down his eyes. "You may have won this time. I won't go out without a fight though". Thasis then casts his final fireball at Sargantas. He then readies his greatsword for the upcomming attacks from the dragons. DC19 Reflex Save 29 Damage (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Thasis%20the%20E vil#161786) I also go into full defensive.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-06-05, 07:14 PM	Thasis looks at Sargantas with the blood streaming down his eyes. "You may have won this time. I won't go out without a fight though".

DC19 Reflex Save 29 Damage (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Thasis%20the%20E vil#161786) I also go into full defensive. You can't go into full defensive after making a standard action as full defense (or total defense) itself is a standard action (as is casting a spell).
Sargatanas 10-06-05, 07:39 PM	Sargatanas' dragons bring their jaws down to clamp down on Thasis once more as he exposes himself to cast his spell. Their jaws each clamping down on his body and pulling, tearing the skygge in half. "Ooh... thats gotta hurt. Sorry about that pal." Sargatanas laughs and grins, looking toward the last of his opponents. Dragon AOOs: 26, 32 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=162334) Dragon AOO damage: 18, 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=162336) Since you don't have concentration as a skill, and you didn't say you were casting defensively (or roll for that) my dragon's get an AOO and kill you before you can complete the spell.
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 08:21 PM	Abicus waves his hand, and another golden bead appears, floating above the palm of his hand. "I really should develop other forms of attack. Balls of fire really are overdone." Abicus then sends the bead on its way, engulfing Sargatanas in flame once more. Another Empowered Fireball, centered on Sargatanas (he's the only other one left standing, I believe) Damage = 53 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=162350) Reflex DC 22 for half damage. Whether or not you succeed on the Reflex save, I believe that means you are out. And just in case there's anything near enough to me to get an attack of opportunity, I cast it defensively. Concentration = 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=162352)

Concentration = 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=162352) Theres nothing in range to just take an AOO on you. However... there is a dragon in R-T 8-10. Which effectively blocks off your ability to aim that fireball at me (in T32).
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 08:40 PM	Theres nothing in range to just take an AOO on you. However... there is a dragon in R-T 8-10. Which effectively blocks off your ability to aim that fireball at me (in T32). The dragon isn't a solid wall, I didn't think it would block line of effect. I could just aim between its legs. But, if need be, I could just move up 30 ft. and then aim the fireball. But, I suppose it would be Orcy's call if he'd let me do that after I already posted my turn.
Sargatanas 10-06-05, 09:04 PM	*shrugs* Guess I lose. Sargatanas stares at the ball as it approaches. He rolls his eyes and sighs, shaking his head as it comes toward him. "See... this is why people shouldn't have been concentrating on a single person... bah, people that don't know how to fight! Bloody f..." The roar of the flame consumes Sargatanas and drowns out his last words. As his smoking body falls to the ground the dragons crumble to dust around the arena. When it doesn't matter I make the save with a 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=162358)
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 09:10 PM	Thank you for being agreeable, Sargatanas. However, this does bring up a point I never considered. Do creatures block line of effect? It's hard to say. From what I understand, creatures don't even occupy all of their space (I've never heard of a person that was 5 ft. wide, for example). However, they occupy at least some of that space, and they are considered to be constantly moving, dodging and weaving about in combat.
Demonfey 10-06-05, 09:10 PM	Meh. You knew this would happen after the fifth dragon skeleton. And you also know that it took three people trying to beat you at one time to beat you.
Sargatanas 10-06-05, 09:12 PM	Meh. You knew this would happen after the fifth dragon skeleton. And you also know that it took three people trying to beat you at one time to beat you. Sixth, there were six.
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 09:13 PM	Meh. You knew this would happen after the fifth dragon skeleton. And you also know that it took three people trying to beat you at one time to beat you. I did have several more fireballs prepared. But, those undead red dragons would've made things difficult. About the only attack I have against them is disintegrate, and being undead, they would automatically succeed at the Fortitude save. Does Summon Undead work the same as Summon Monster? If so, they can be dispelled, correct? It would be interesting to face you in a one-on-one match, Sargatanas. I will have to make many preparations before that ever happened, though. In any case, it was an enjoyable experience battling against all of you, Thasis, Jagggar, Sssargoth, Premier666, and Sargatanas, even if I were to end up being annihilated. I hope I can continue to be involved with this arena.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-06-05, 09:15 PM	Orcy rises from his throne and approaches the edge of his platform. Lifting an arm in the air all the combatants rise where they had fallen, and promptly appear standing before the throne on the arena floor. Abicus appears standing beside him as Orcy raises his hand up. "Orcy gives you the second of the Arena's gladiators, Abicus Acton! The winner of the battle, and one who has proven himself worth of the title of Gladiator!"
Demonfey 10-06-05, 09:15 PM	Sixth, there were six. Yes, there were. I mean you (should have) realized before you even completed your action that you were going to be the main target. Note: parentheses are to keep that possibility open.
Sargatanas 10-06-05, 09:16 PM	I did have several more fireballs prepared. But, those undead red dragons would've made things difficult. About the only attack I have against them is disintegrate, and being undead, they would automatically succeed at the Fortitude save. Does Summon Undead work the same as Summon Monster? If so, they can be dispelled, correct? Undead can be effected by spells that can be used on objects (like disintegrate) so they wouldn't auto-pass. The second part, yes and yes.
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 09:18 PM	Orcy rises from his throne and approaches the edge of his platform. Lifting an arm in the air all the combatants rise where they had fallen, and promptly appear standing before the throne on the arena floor. Abicus appears standing beside him as Orcy raises his hand up. "Orcy gives you the second of the Arena's gladiators, Abicus Acton! The winner of the battle, and one who has proven himself worth of the title of Gladiator!" "Thank you, Oh Wondrous Green One. It has been an honor doing battle in this glorious arena. What is the reward for winning?"
thasis 10-06-05, 09:20 PM	Mmm... good job Abicus. Much better fighter then I am.
premier666 10-06-05, 09:24 PM	Nah, I knew Abicus was gonna win the moment he disintegrated me. Why do you think I attacked him? To take the strongest one here without interference. Sargatanas was bound to be the main target all the time. (PS.: I wonder If BM is gonna win someday?)
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-06-05, 09:30 PM	"Thank you, Oh Wondrous Green One. It has been an honor doing battle in this glorious arena. What is the reward for winning?" Orcy raises an eyebrow looking at Abicus. He scratches his chin and looks toward the rest of the combatants then back toward Abicus. "This battle was to see who would fill the second gladiator spot in the arena. You are now a gladiator in the arena's employment and gain all the benefits of such. On top of that, Orcy believs the lords of Tyrannor have something for you."
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 09:37 PM	Thank you, Thasis and Premier666. "Very well. Can you direct me to these Lords of Tyranor?" Would any XP be involved for winning the battle? I could use some extra to craft magic items. Also, what exactly are the benefits of being a gladiator?
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-06-05, 09:42 PM	Thank you, Thasis and Premier666. "Very well. Can you direct me to these Lords of Tyranor?" Would any XP be involved for winning the battle? I could use some extra to craft magic items. Also, what exactly are the benefits of being a gladiator? The lords of tyrannor are present in the arena orcy believes, so he'll let them post that. Your experience is 4500xp (Orcy thinks Jagggar wanted to start giving the losers xp as well, so he'll let her do that if she wants.)
Sssargoth 10-06-05, 09:54 PM	Mmm... good job Abicus. Much better fighter then I am. You should have used your Shadow Meld ability right from the start. The larger red dragon makes his way to Abicus. "I believe this is yours." The dragon hands you a sack with 6,000 gp.
Abicus Acton 10-06-05, 09:57 PM	Abicus nods to the red dragon. "Thank you. Now, if you all will excuse me, there are things I must attend to. I have some bets to collect on." The old, gray wizard walks away, heading for the betting booth.
Wilds 10-07-05, 01:29 AM	so if u die in the arena u get resurected or die permantly?
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-07-05, 01:36 AM	so if u die in the arena u get resurected or die permantly? You are brought back to life with no penalties at all if you die in a knock out match, its as if nothing had ever happened to you. If the match is a to the death match however, you die, for good.
Wilds 10-07-05, 01:39 AM	O, sweet, in that case i will have to fight some time (knockout)
thasis 10-07-05, 02:00 AM	I think I'm going to print out mein character sheet. See how I can abuse my abilities next combat I get involved in.
Master_of_Flames 10-07-05, 07:12 AM	O, sweet, in that case i will have to fight some time (knockout) incarnin and his pal vs Li'ruak and his cohort?
Wilds 10-07-05, 07:30 PM	Sure, whats the chars cohort?
gabrion 10-07-05, 08:24 PM	How does the Mountain Top Arena relate to the rest of the space-time thingy-ma-what? If a character is engaged in something else out side of the MTA, is it assumed that that is happening at the same time as the fighting here, or could it be happening at slightly different times. For instance, my character Hasin'Ra is stuck waiting for the situation at the RG to resolve. Is he therefore not allowed to take part in arena activities? Thanks for the help.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-07-05, 08:29 PM	How does the Mountain Top Arena relate to the rest of the space-time thingy-ma-what? If a character is engaged in something else out side of the MTA, is it assumed that that is happening at the same time as the fighting here, or could it be happening at slightly different times. For instance, my character Hasin'Ra is stuck waiting for the situation at the RG to resolve. Is he therefore not allowed to take part in arena activities? Thanks for the help. Typically, the mountain top arena takes place at the same time as the rest of the world. Orcy has never really clarified that. He allowed Sargatanas to fight in the last arena battle because of the rather long delay for the actual battle starting. So some of the knock out battles may take place out of game time on rare occasions, but death battles ALWAYS take place in game time.
gabrion 10-07-05, 09:15 PM	So some of the knock out battles may take place out of game time on rare occasions, but death battles ALWAYS take place in game time. That makes good sense.
Solmund 10-07-05, 09:27 PM	while we wait, want to have a friendly one on one gabrion?
gabrion 10-07-05, 09:59 PM	while we wait, want to have a friendly one on one gabrion? I'm fine with that if Orcy will allow it. There are a few things to keep in mind though. 1) Both of our characters are doing something in game right now 2) My character has been moved back to the approval pending list at my request because I may change his race (everything is fine as-is though). With that in mind I would be fine with an exhibition match if Orcy doesn't mind. Basically this could be a fight that doesn't really happen and we wouldn't get XP for it or anything, there will be no betting (cause it doesn't really happen), but we would get a chance to test out skills. Waddaya say?
gabrion 10-08-05, 08:10 PM	@Solmund-Well it looks like the RP at the Royal Guards went rather quickly. How about that exhibition fight?
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-08-05, 08:13 PM	Orcy would prefer approved characters fighting in the arena. That just makes things a bit easier...
gabrion 10-08-05, 08:19 PM	Orcy would prefer approved characters fighting in the arena. That just makes things a bit easier... Ok, I will wait till I decide my race for sure then.
Abicus Acton 10-08-05, 08:45 PM	I am ready for a battle, if anyone is willing to engage in a Knockout Match. I do not really have anything to do at the moment, rather bored.
gabrion 10-10-05, 03:05 AM	Solmund, if you would still like to have a friendly duel here I would be happy to oblige. Of course we would also ask Orcy for permission to use this area to test our skills. Would that be alright, Green Wonder?
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-10-05, 12:53 PM	You may fight a battle in the arena. Orcy will think more on this monster fight idea (mentioned at Ghashmal). If he decides to go through with it however experience will not be awarded for every monster... Perhaps monsters will spawn and attack the fighters, maybe... 2-4 combatants. The combatants must then kill the monsters, and whoever has the most kills at the end of a certain number of rounds is the winner. We could call it hungry hun.... err.... no, thats not right.
Solmund 10-10-05, 04:13 PM	why not hunter's eve? sounds like a right enough name for that. Perhaps we can see if the two gladiators would like to join the match...

In that case, I request that my legendary chicken be used. I was going to suggest it back in the original arena to celebrate Orcy Day.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-10-05, 05:37 PM	In that case, I request that my legendary chicken be used. I was going to suggest it back in the original arena to celebrate Orcy Day. Legendary Chicken? Orcy Day? Orcy likes where this is going...
Solmund 10-10-05, 05:40 PM	well, can we have the fight?
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-10-05, 05:42 PM	well, can we have the fight? Orcy already said you may. Not the monster fight, but any of the battles listed in the first post you may take part in (except gladiator matches, unless you want to challenge a gladiator).
Solmund 10-10-05, 05:47 PM	ok, just a regualr knock-out battle then. oh, and you need to update the list of gladiators orcy. I think Ashariana and Abicus are the two, correct?
jagggar 10-10-05, 05:57 PM	Legendary Chicken? Orcy Day? Orcy likes where this is going... Found it. Legendary Giant Chicken (http://boards1.wizards.com/archive/index.php/t-382513.html) Still searching for Orcy Day. [Edit]Found that too. It's Orcday, not Orcy Day. Name can always be changed.

gabrion 10-10-05, 06:12 PM	Striker arrives at the arena wearing his normal forest garb, notably lacking armor of any kind, with two powerful looking bows slung over his back. Why any one person would need two such weapons is a mystery, but they are there none-the-less. He approaches Solmund the liberator before the match begins to offer his good will. "This should be an interesting test of our abilities Solmund, and I look forward to the battle. Since we are trying to hone our battle skills, should I allow the fight to go on for a while, or will you mind if I simply knock you out at the beginning?" Striker chuckles at his friendly taunt toward the other man. "Really though, if you wish to make this a real competition, I say we make a wager on it at the betting booth. I'm willing to put 9,000 gp on my side of the fight. What would you say to such a proposal?" Without waiting for an answer, he heads over to the betting both and places his wager on the upcomming fight. After this he heads into the arena where he sits on the ground and begins to meditate until the match is ready to start.
Solmund 10-10-05, 06:26 PM	I have no money of that hieght with me, so I'm afraid I won't be betting. Solmund replied, walking towards the entrace for the arena.
gabrion 10-10-05, 06:36 PM	OOC: Do we need to have Orcy set the starting positions, or can we decide on that ourselves? If we can do it on our own I'm fine with starting at K15 and having you at J26 (putting us 50' apart). I'm not too concerned with it though, so if you have another preference we can do that.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-10-05, 06:43 PM	Orcy would say... Striker at J6, and Solmund at K35, he prefers starting combatants further apart.
Solmund 10-10-05, 06:54 PM	Solmund walked out of the hall into the arena, the light blinding him momentarily, preventing him from seeing his foe effectivly. init: 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Solmund%20L.&limit=on)
gabrion 10-10-05, 07:35 PM	Orcy would say... Striker at J6, and Solmund at K35, he prefers starting combatants further apart. Cool. Initiative: 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=163905) Striker waves his hands in an intricate pattern and chats some magical words (though Solmund is probably too far away to hear them). He then moves briskly from his current location toward the corner of the arena, drawing both of his bows as he moves. It becomes clear that a glammer was affecting his person up till this point, hiding two extra limbs from view. At Solmund he shouts, "I suggest you close the distance between us quickly, before I have the chance to put my bows to work." OOC: Striker casts Hunter's Mercy (MoF) and moves to C3, drawing his bows as he does so. AC: 40 HP: 220
Solmund 10-10-05, 07:47 PM	correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it impossible to go from 35 to 220hp in one round without killing yourself? :confused:
gabrion 10-10-05, 07:57 PM	OOC: correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it impossible to go from 35 to 220hp in one round without killing yourself? :confused: Hey...have you been looking at my character sheet? :D The human form listed on my character sheet (which is all the stuff out of the sblock), is what I'm like before casting my persistent spells in the morning. My stats for the rest of the day are in the sblock title "Polymorphed From" or something like that.
Solmund 10-10-05, 08:01 PM	look closer at the ninja's wisdom bonus to ac. no armor. :P so you either lose the armor or lose the wisdom bonus. I think the gm's missed that part when they looked it over.

I think the gm's missed that part when they looked it over. Technically I am unarmored (which is what the special monk bonus to AC requires), as my armor bonus to AC comes from the spell Greater Mage Armor (CA).
Solmund 10-10-05, 08:11 PM	I hate munchkiners. I guess I'll just draw my sword and move 30ft towads you. (damned munchkiner!!!!) :(

Orcy The Green Wonder 10-10-05, 08:19 PM	Thanks for spoiling that Orcy Orcy felt he had to. But it doesn't really matter ;) Orcy also believes that it is your turn.
Solmund 10-10-05, 08:19 PM	hmm, you have persistant spell, correct gabrion?
gabrion 10-10-05, 08:19 PM	OOC: I hate munchkiners. I guess I'll just draw my sword and move 30ft towads you. So where do you end up? You know you can make more than a 30 ft. move if all you are doing is moving (since drawing is a free action while you move). (damned munchkiner!!!!) :( Some of us embrace the name. I'm a big RP fan too though (I didn't even get in any fights at the RG. ;)
Solmund 10-10-05, 08:26 PM	using a persistant spell costs 6 levels higher than normal. so your polymorph spell *pop* can't be done. nor can most of your other buffs. :P (polymorph is a 4th level spell. persistant spell uses up a slot 6 levels higher than normal. there is no 10th level spell slot. thus, you can have spells from 3rd level and up be persistant, but only if you can cast 9th level spells.)

Dare you question my munckin power? My persistent spells are done through a feat called Divine Metamagic, which allows me to burn my turn undead attempt to fuel them, thus not raising the spell level. I'm going to assume you stuck with your last action and moved toward me 30 feet.

Why don't you at least fight it out. Your character doesn't know I have a 40 AC (which will actually be 50 after I fire both of my bows), so play him the way you would. He hasn't even been hit yet, so he can't despair.
Solmund 10-10-05, 09:07 PM	Well that's no fun. Why don't you at least fight it out.

(btw, If I was your dm and I took a look at you feat and spell combo, I would burn your character sheet and toss it in a vat of acid, then tell you to try and tell you that anyone caught being a munchkin will be shot on sight. munchkins ruin the game and make it useless to have player against player matches like this.)

Solmund 10-10-05, 09:20 PM	I rest my case. and btw, how'd you get both bows out and use a full attack in the same round? you can't start with any weapons out.

jagggar 10-10-05, 09:27 PM	Well, look at it this way. That was a nonleathal match, and he's a good guy. Perhaps in the fight against the undead-duo he'll get hit enough for some allied evil person to take him down. And perhaps we'll have some sort of a "Nerf the Chameleon" contest.

Demonfey 10-10-05, 09:43 PM	He was approved because I thought he took off the whole arrow demon thing. We told him, it just isn't usable. Or I guess I may have forgotten about him not changing it and thought he had. @gabrion: until you change the tactics and ideas jagggar disproved to you and me, I am putting your character on disapproved (again).

The thing is that I didn't see anything in the character creation rules about what power level these games were meant to be. If Striker is too over the top, and the this fight makes the GMs concerned about power levels, then as jagggar put it, you all can have a nerf party if you like. To be fair though, some characters are just put together better than others. Personally, I don't think the stuff this character did was broken. Using polymorph is a common tactic in fights (which is how he got all those attacks) and getting an AC that high is not uncommon for a well put together character.

Thats the problem with Powergaming as Orcy has seen it. Those who do it see nothing wrong with it, while those who are standing to the side gaze on with their mouths wide open. Anything that has 8 attacks at a good +30 each at level 15, and dishes out 393 damage in a round from a rather long distance... is rather powergamed in Orcy's eyes. Too powerful. As a rule of thumb, if it shows up on the character optimization board, it is probably powergamed ;) :P

It's not like I saw something different that the rest of you, I'm just saying that if your objection is that I made a good character, then it seems a little weak. If you go to the COB right now and say you want to play a Wizard straight though, they will say, "no, you should pick up levels of IotSFV, cause it rocks." Does that show a powergaming problem for your character?"

Divine metamagic itself is also rather broken, as Orcy is SURE you must have seen a few times already being a poster on these wizards boards. He is sure you know what your doing and know that your character has a power level high above the rest that have been posted thus far, that he has no doubt of... while yes, there are indeed ways to counter this build, it is still rather broken.

Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 12:29 PM	So, anyone willing to fight? Turalisj? Li'ruak is always looking for a fight. Would you like to face a warlok and see which is better?
premier666 10-23-05, 03:20 PM	Li'ruak is always looking for a fight. Would you like to face a warlok and see which is better? Hell yeah! A duel betwheen two types of magic, it will be interesting. Lets get the forest arena if you dont mind (I dont like the lake in the basic arena.) (of course, if Black Mage loses I wont be surprised, cause I gotta be the worst mage player ever.) EDIT: I will be on all day, today. If orcy and you appears, we could get this on today. If not, I'm only online at 6PM (gmt-3) on any other day
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 04:07 PM	Wanna try a mage duel? It'b be interesting to settle the ultimate question: What is Sil's real gender? Oh, wait, wrong one. Who is stronger, the warlock or wizard.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 04:12 PM	Stav (Silimna's player's name) is male.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-23-05, 05:23 PM	If someone else would like to watch over this match, Orcy won't be around for most of the day. So he'll pass the throne over to someone else for this fight.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 05:26 PM	You want to keep an eye on things DF?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 06:25 PM	Sure, I'll do it. Give me a chance to clear out some of my message box.
premier666 10-23-05, 06:49 PM	Well I'm still here. Anyway, I'm comfortable with mage duel. just choose the arena, roll init, And we're on! EDIT: I'm going to eat dinner right now, be back in a few.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 06:54 PM	Good to go, send a list of BM's spells, and what invocations Li'ruak has.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 07:03 PM	His invocations are on his character sheet. And perhaps we can try the water arena? BM does have fly/levitate on his list, correct?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 07:05 PM	Haven't gotten the list yet, so I wouldn't know.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 07:09 PM	Look at the character shee. Look at the list that says invocations. Look under that. You'll see the list.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 07:11 PM	I was talking about premier's prepared spell list.
premier666 10-23-05, 07:35 PM	His invocations are on his character sheet. And perhaps we can try the water arena? BM does have fly/levitate on his list, correct? Actually, no. BM only uses mostly ofensive spell, and I kinda fogot to put any other mobility spells besides teleport in his spellbook.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 07:35 PM	Okay, good to go here. Just need positions of people, and initiatives.
premier666 10-23-05, 07:37 PM	I cant fight in the water arena. Any other arena, and I'll be ok. Initiative roll: 25 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172361
Demonfey 10-23-05, 07:39 PM	Fire seems like it'd be interesting.
premier666 10-23-05, 07:42 PM	I have bad memories about this arena. (my arms, my dear arms! why do you hurt me? why???) But ok.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 07:42 PM	Ok, Li'ruak has a slight resistance to fire anyways...
Demonfey 10-23-05, 07:43 PM	Deal. MoF, need an initiative, and position.
premier666 10-23-05, 07:43 PM	then roll initiative. If I'm not mistaken, our starting pioositions should be J1 and K40
Demonfey 10-23-05, 07:46 PM	Sounds good to me. Arena: Fire Positions: J1 and K40, winner of initiative at J1 initiative rolls: BM: 25 Li'ruak: 23 BM at J1 Li'ruak K40 Need GM approval
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 07:47 PM	All rolls under Liruak 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Liruak&limit=on) initiative. Li'ruak floated* into the arena, looking around at the flames. He smiled a bit, then looked sternly at his foe. * He is using the fell flight invocation, which gives him a perfect fly speed of 30ft and lasts for 24hrs. BM is first.
premier666 10-23-05, 07:57 PM	Black mage walks calmly into the arena. He looks at Liruak. Without esitation, he points his hand towards Liruak, and yells: THUNDER! A huge energy blast flies towards the Warlock. casting firebrand at liruak, changed the type of energy to lighting, used rod of metamagic: empower lesser to empower it. Damage: 22d6=80 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172371) DC23 for half damage:
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 07:59 PM	um, did you read the rules? you'd have had to draw the rod first..... and using the rod + drawing it = more than one round's worth of actions.
premier666 10-23-05, 08:00 PM	Draw rod= move action: using it is part of the casting action me thinks. not realy sure
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:04 PM	Well, might as well say it now... In honor of the Green Wonder, HOO HA! Also, wait for GM viewing!
Sssargoth 10-23-05, 08:08 PM	Well, might as well say it now... In honor of the Green Wonder, HOO HA! Also, wait for GM viewing! *smacks DF upside the head* Its not HOO HA...Its HOOAH! Get it right next time. :P
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:11 PM	*smacks DF upside the head* Its not HOO HA...Its HOOAH! Get it right next time. :P :doh: Overseeing this fight, Sssargoth?
premier666 10-23-05, 08:18 PM	Draw rod= move action: using it is part of the casting action me thinks. not realy sure NOt trying to cut the chit chat, but... Am I right or not?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:22 PM	Since you acted before we could line up a GM, I don't know. I'll have to check.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 08:27 PM	Li'ruak just managed to dodge the most of the spell, but was caught in the arm none the less. He flew forward and sent a organge-green blast of eldritch energy, which caught BM in the side. It began to eat away at BM's skin, an acrid smell rising from where it hit. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Liruak&limit=on Initial Blast Damage: 27. Secondary Damage: 4 Reflex Save: 29 The link above is to all of the rolls. Damage Dealt Total: 31 Damage Taken Total: 40 BM's hp: 75 Li'ruak's hp: 96 NEXT!!
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:30 PM	both of you STOP! Let me find something out first!
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:34 PM	Okay, here's what I found: Metamagic rod users must still take a full round action to cast. BM can't draw and use it.
premier666 10-23-05, 08:40 PM	Okay, here's what I found: Metamagic rod users must still take a full round action to cast. BM can't draw and use it. Quote from the SRD "metamagic rod does not confer the associated feat on the owner, only the ability to use the given feat a specified number of times per day. A sorcerer still must take a full-round action when using a metamagic rod, just as if using a metamagic feat he possesses." By the way it is written, it looks like wizards use the rod in a normal action
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 08:50 PM	It doesn't matter to me. I still have a big chance at beating him, and would just like to continue this match so I can head to bed.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:50 PM	Since the two of you are rushing me with this, and DIDN'T allow me to get a GM to confer with stuff like this about first, you have to either be patient, as I try to do hw and this at once, or let me get a GM to help.
premier666 10-23-05, 08:51 PM	I'm not rushing you, I'm just pointing somethig out. take your time
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:54 PM	You rushed me the moment you began that attack before any type of intro into this combat.
premier666 10-23-05, 08:56 PM	You rushed me the moment you began that attack before any type of intro into this combat. Oh. Sorry. Its just that I though it was the time to start. Last basttles that I was in, It just started like that.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 08:59 PM	They were held by someone who knew what to do because he built the rules of the arena. Alright, metamagic items=work like how they would for caster type. Sorcerors=full round, wizards=standard casting round.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:00 PM	Oh, before I forget.... *We will Rock You plays in the background* :D
premier666 10-23-05, 09:03 PM	They were held by someone who knew what to do because he built the rules of the arena. Ok, sorry again. I really did not knew it would cause any problems. If you want to make things simplier, I could just modify my action.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:04 PM	They were held by someone who knew what to do because he built the rules of the arena. Alright, metamagic items=work like how they would for caster type. Sorcerors=full round, wizards=standard casting round. Then, we can continue right?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 09:06 PM	Yes. Just remember I'm new to this.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:10 PM	Very good. lets see what you do when you cant see your oponent! With a few gestures of his hand, BM disapear in the thin air. casting grater invisibility, moving to K7
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:13 PM	Same to you, lefty. Li'ruak said tauntingly as shadows envoloped him. Use the enervating shadow invocation. :P Edit: And activate fiendish resilience. Damage Dealt Total: 31 Damage Taken Total: 40 BM's hp: 75 Li'ruak's hp: 98
premier666 10-23-05, 09:18 PM	(I'm not descrbing this one, since Li'ruak cant see me.) Cast teleport to J34 Edit Right, before anything, I asked orcy a while ago and he said it was ok to teleport whitin the arena. you just cant teleport out.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:29 PM	That's within range of the shadow. :P Make a fortitude save (dc 23) or take a -4 penalty to strength for 5 rounds. Oh, and.... BM's side stings as the acid continues to gnaw at his flesh. for last round: http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172419 for this round: http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172420 Damage Dealt Total: 31 Damage Taken Total: 40 BM's hp: 58 Li'ruak's hp: 100 And finally: The same shadow that encompassed Li'ruak apeared across the arena. move to k12 with flee the scene.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:47 PM	BM drinks a potion of cure seriuous wounds. 22 hp recovered. fort save: 15 fail. strengh falls to 4. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172425
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:47 PM	I've got to get to bed in about 10 minutes, so can we wap this up?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 09:48 PM	Since it's your turn, its your chance to wrap it up.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:50 PM	BTW Li'ruak, do I see the shadow? I mean I dont see you, but I see the creepy sahdow thingy dont I? Oh, right the description: Bm feels his strengh decreasing, as he aprocahes the creepy shadow.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:50 PM	Another shadow appeared in a diffrent part of the arena. Take your pick wizard. Which one will you hit? Moved to I14 with flee the scene. Damage Dealt Total: 31 Damage Taken Total: 40 BM's hp: 80 Li'ruak's hp: 102
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:51 PM	BTW Li'ruak, do I see the shadow? I mean I dont see you, but I see the creepy sahdow thingy dont I? Oh, right the description: Bm feels his strengh decreasing, as he aprocahes the creepy shadow. Yeah, but I have total concealment....
Demonfey 10-23-05, 09:51 PM	Should've shot him, if you wanted to end it faster.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:52 PM	Lets see... BM cast true seeing.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:53 PM	I can't see him. I'm going to drop elf dillente for extra invocation and pick up see the unseen.... The shadow around Li'ruak drops for a second, but he quickly waves his hands and it grows around him again. :P TS doesn't negate concealment.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 09:55 PM	You could just get a fiendish graft that is, if I remember right, the charming eye later.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:56 PM	Negates Magical concealment "sees the exact locations of creatures or objects under blur or displacement effects, sees invisible creatures or objects normally, sees through illusions, and sees the true form of polymorphed, changed, or transmuted things. Further, the subject can focus its vision to see into the Ethereal Plane (but not into extradimensional spaces). The range of true seeing conferred is 120 feet."
Demonfey 10-23-05, 09:57 PM	Sorry, MoF is right, premeir and myself were wrong (until I agreed with MoF, then I was right)
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:58 PM	It does not negate concealment, includ.ing that caused by fog and the like. I rest my case.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:58 PM	Premeir's right. I know :D :P :cool:
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 09:59 PM	It's not a blur or displacement effect.
premier666 10-23-05, 09:59 PM	, sees through illusions, ." So do I. This shadow is an ilusion, is it not?
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:01 PM	I don't think so... It's as much an illusion as a wall of fire. Edit: I looked at your character sheet. No spell components where listed. So you technically can't cast true seeing. You don't even have a spell compnent pouch listed.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:02 PM	Forget my judgement on this subject until now. I'll look at enervating shadows. Although it would let him know which one's real, which is all he needs right now (fireball)
premier666 10-23-05, 10:02 PM	I don't think so... It's as much an illusion as a wall of fire. What is the spell descriptor?
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:04 PM	See edit.
premier666 10-23-05, 10:04 PM	Anyway, post your actions Master of Flames, Li'ruak does not know wheter I see him or not.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:06 PM	You have no spell components on your character sheet. You don't even have a spell pouch. Unless you're casting them from a scroll or using escew materials, you couldn't have even cast greater invisibility.
premier666 10-23-05, 10:08 PM	I don't think so... It's as much an illusion as a wall of fire. Edit: I looked at your character sheet. No spell components where listed. So you technically can't cast true seeing. You don't even have a spell compnent pouch listed. Da*m! I forgot that. wich means I cant cast any spells. wich means everything in this battle could not have happened. Or anything in all my battles. D**m! what should we do then?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:09 PM	Why does this have to become an issue now, without GMs? @MoF: since things have progressed this far, I'm going to let him cast spells without components this time, and he will have to fix it later. Also, premeir, you are mispelling damn.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:11 PM	Grrr.. Can we atleast remove the invisibility and true seeing? atleast true seeing since it has a 250gp cost.
premier666 10-23-05, 10:11 PM	Why does this have to become an issue now, without GMs? @MoF: since things have progressed this far, I'm going to let him cast spells without components this time, and he will have to fix it later. Also, premeir, you are mispelling damn. I'll fix this ASAP. Also, I thought that damn would be censored.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:16 PM	We can remove the true seeing. In the mean time, on with the show! I believe it is BM's turn, because didn't you just use flee the scene?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:18 PM	I'll fix this ASAP. Also, I thought that damn would be censored. Why would you think that? I mean, Sargatanas' guild has the word in its name!
premier666 10-23-05, 10:18 PM	Grrr.. Can we atleast remove the invisibility and true seeing? atleast true seeing since it has a 250gp cost. I removed one of my scrolls of teleport (none of them were used), and I put the spell component pouch. also, I removed 600GP of spell components just in case.
gabrion 10-23-05, 10:19 PM	Just for the record, there is a precedent for this kind of thing. In the fight at the RG, which happened under GM supervision, True Seeing was cast w/out the components. I think it is only fair to allow it until the GMs directly address the issue (epecially considering the fact that material components are commonly house-ruled to not be an issue).
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:21 PM	If you can do that right now, then I can quickly switch a feat out.
premier666 10-23-05, 10:21 PM	Ok, and since i removed the scroll of teleport, I also spent the 250gp of spell component.
premier666 10-23-05, 10:22 PM	Fine, fine I wont cast the spell.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:24 PM	Another copy of the shadow appeared, next to one of the original ones. Move to K15
Sssargoth 10-23-05, 10:24 PM	Just for the record, there is a precedent for this kind of thing. In the fight at the RG, which happened under GM supervision, True Seeing was cast w/out the components. I think it is only fair to allow it until the GMs directly address the issue (epecially considering the fact that material components are commonly house-ruled to not be an issue). I honestly dont care. Cast without components for all I care.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:25 PM	No. Your character has already been used to fight with your CURRENT feat list. If I let you switch out feats now, after having been used in combat a couple times, then that would mean I'd have to let everyone else do it. Items, on the other hand, are different. Items can be bought and sold easily enough, and are supposed to be replaced over time. Also, I had already said no true seeing this time.
premier666 10-23-05, 10:25 PM	Wait MoF! if I did not cast the spell, its still my turn! And if I did, I see wich one is true! I'm confused, did I or did I not? :confused:
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 10:27 PM	Wait a minute, why would there be two shadows? From my understanding, enervating shadow cloaks "you" in shadow, and only you. If you move, I would think the shadow would move with you. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Black Mage was never adjacent to Li'ruak, so I don't see why he had to make a Fort save from the enervating shadow.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:27 PM	You don't get to cast the spell due to price, and because this combat will take place as though you hadn't altered your character at all. All alterations take place AFTER COMBAT.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:28 PM	Well, this fight is going to last a while, since BM still has greater invisibility cast and can't use true seeing.... Oh, and not having spell components needed of sets the balance between psionic and and arcane people. Otherwise, many psionic powers would be lessend in level/xp/rounds.
gabrion 10-23-05, 10:29 PM	Umm, just out of curiosity, are we ignoring what Sssargoth said just a few post ago?
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:30 PM	Wait a minute, why would there be two shadows? From my understanding, enervating shadow cloaks "you" in shadow, and only you. If you move, I would think the shadow would move with you. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Black Mage was never adjacent to Li'ruak, so I don't see why he had to make a Fort save from the enervating shadow. He moved diagnol to me. The copies look exactly like the current Li'ruak, including the shadow. They don't have concealment though.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:31 PM	MoF, give me a freaking break already. You want it over, do something draw him out.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:33 PM	Fine.... Li'ruak focused his ears and listened for the wizard. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172448
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 10:35 PM	He moved diagnol to me. The copies look exactly like the current Li'ruak, including the shadow. They don't have concealment though. Weren't you at K40? I didn't see you post that you had moved, and he had teleported to J34. There are copies? Nevermind.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:36 PM	This was a bad idea. We should have waited for Orcy to be active.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:37 PM	Can we just continue?
premier666 10-23-05, 10:38 PM	Then, it is still my turn. thx for the clarification. You hear BM's voice yeling: Ice! A huge ball of ice flies towards the shadow that appeared first. casting fireball turned into ice. using rod of Metathingy to empower it. 15d6=44 damage. DC: 21. (That is, if its the right shadow.) http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172447 Mves 30ft fowaerd
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:40 PM	Wait a sec...22d6? that should be impossible...
premier666 10-23-05, 10:41 PM	Wait a sec...22d6? that should be impossible... 15x1,5=22,5. rounfing down, 22d6. OOPs, sorry, its fire ball, not the other spell. its 15d6
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:42 PM	Well, Since Li'ruak could hear you walking..... (listen check, and you weren't trying to be silent) Suck acidic eldritch energy you pointy hatted freak! Li'ruak yelled as the shadow disappeared. The blast hit the ground though, proof that he missed his mark. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172452
premier666 10-23-05, 10:45 PM	I edited the post. its 44 damage DC 21now. sorry. anyway, did it hit what? the shadow or the image?
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:48 PM	It hit the image, which fizzled out by the blast. Your turn.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:49 PM	nevermind.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 10:51 PM	and wouldn't he have hit himself in the blast? :D
Demonfey 10-23-05, 10:55 PM	I finally get where things are breaking down here. You have to post what square you target, people! And post what square you are in at the beginning of your turn each round.
premier666 10-23-05, 10:57 PM	There you are! Take that! Thunder! Another huge blast of lighting flies towards the shadow. Casting empowered firebrand. Using all the blasts of the spell (16) to form a huge square covering all the shadow. using move action to draw staff of fire. 22d6=72 DC 23 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172463
premier666 10-23-05, 10:58 PM	I finally get where things are breaking down here. You have to post what square you target, people! And post what square you are in at the beginning of your turn each round. I haven't mved in a while. Edit: I'm at J 30
Demonfey 10-23-05, 11:00 PM	Thanks. It'll help with who is where and what shots go where.
premier666 10-23-05, 11:02 PM	Yes, but for purposes of tracking where people are shooting, like where BM shot that iceball. I did not wanted to metagame, so I really wasn't sure how to post that. Anyway, its your turn MoF!
Demonfey 10-23-05, 11:04 PM	PM it if you are concealed. Also, just post where your shots will land.
premier666 10-23-05, 11:06 PM	PM it if you are concealed. Also, just post where your shots will land. That last blast was a 16 squares-wide eletric ball centered at the cneter of the shadow.
premier666 10-23-05, 11:11 PM	I gotta go to sleep. I'll be back on at 18 PM GMT -3. See ya.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 11:13 PM	You still need to roll for miss chance.... Bad move BM, bad move! Li'ruak said, then, Kaoken Attack!! He helled as a super charged vitrolic blast struck home, the smell of aid even stronger than before. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Liruak&limit=on 42 damage from the vitrolic blast, maxamized. 3 additional damage from the acid. 93 on the miss chance with 50 or lower being bad. and 23 on the reflex save. K15= Location. 45 damage this round. unless the vitrolic damage is maxed also, then 48 damage.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 11:13 PM	I gotta go to sleep. I'll be back on at 18 PM GMT -3. See ya. same here. night!cdon't let the nameks bite! :D
Demonfey 10-23-05, 11:15 PM	You can continue this with Orcy tomorrow, hopefully.
Master_of_Flames 10-23-05, 11:29 PM	Before I forget: Li'ruak Hp: 72 BM Hp: 35
Demonfey 10-23-05, 11:32 PM	Thanks.
jagggar 10-24-05, 12:07 AM	Just for the record, there is a precedent for this kind of thing. In the fight at the RG, which happened under GM supervision, True Seeing was cast w/out the components. I think it is only fair to allow it until the GMs directly address the issue (epecially considering the fact that material components are commonly house-ruled to not be an issue). Yeah, well since I've never played a caster above 5th level before, I'm not to keen on what I need to check. It'd be nice to have it pointed out while it's actually happening.
Demonfey 10-24-05, 12:13 AM	Just as long as it is fixed for next time, its okay for this one time.
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 12:19 AM	Last post before sleep: @jagger: Is it too late to make a bet? if not, then all of Li'ruaks remaining wealth on him winning. (I need a new graft)
Demonfey 10-24-05, 12:26 AM	According to standard betting rules, it is too late to bet on yourself, because you have to place bets first round.
gabrion 10-24-05, 02:52 AM	Yeah, well since I've never played a caster above 5th level before, I'm not to keen on what I need to check. It'd be nice to have it pointed out while it's actually happening. jagggar, I hope my comment didn't offend you (it certainly wasn't meant to). I noticed the problem when I read through the fight at the RG, but I didn't mention it for two reasons: 1) The fight had moved past that point by the time I read it and I didn't want to make things more confusing and 2) I tend to ignore material components in most of my games anyway, so I just figured it wasn't going to be a big deal here. My point in the current battle though is simply that we should give the benefit of the doubt to Black Mage and allow this one casting of true seeing and then the make a clear statement on metathread that stuff like this needs to be taken into account in the future. I don't expect you guys to catch every little detail (you do a heck of a good job for as much responsibility as you have), I was just offering my opinion on what would be fair in this particular case given the fact that a slight oversight was made.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-24-05, 02:56 AM	You've brought up a very important point in this as well. If material components are indeed needed, should they be needed in the arena as well? Should every arrow fired be counted against the total that a character carries? Or should they be compensated for what they've used in an arena battle? Of course, combat to the death will still require all these things to be used (if components are needed), but should those who fight in a knock out duel be required to use these things? Just something that suddenly sprang into Orcy's head while reading this.
premier666 10-24-05, 11:42 AM	Hya, guys, just posting quickly before going back to school. You still need to roll for miss chance.... . Its an area efect, why should I roll for miss chance? the area of firebrand is 5ft per level. total 16ft, I just made a big square with it centered on the shadow. Another note I'm not sure if I understood the post. How many damage did I got?
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 04:05 PM	I aimed at the spot the sphere of bat guano came from and hit on the miss chance. Then I maxamized the eldritch blast, dealing 42 automatic damage on hitting. Added with the vitrolic essence, that dealt 45 total damage. :P
premier666 10-24-05, 04:51 PM	I aimed at the spot the sphere of bat guano came from and hit on the miss chance. Then I maxamized the eldritch blast, dealing 42 automatic damage on hitting. Added with the vitrolic essence, that dealt 45 total damage. :P Oh ok. its just I've never seen the warlock class, so I've got No idea of waht you've been doing. BTW, I'm back on. my action will be in the next post
premier666 10-24-05, 05:00 PM	Suddenly, a huge mass of darkness emrge at Li'ruak's feet, forming huger tentacles, that tries to squeeze his life out. Casting Black Tentacles. Tentacles grapple check: 32. Make an oposing grapple check. even if you pass, your speed is still limited to half.
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 05:03 PM	The tentacles started to squeez Li'ruak, but he merely appeared several feet away. used flee the scene to move to J14. I wouldn't have made the grapple check unless I made a natural 20.
premier666 10-24-05, 05:06 PM	The tentacles started to squeez Li'ruak, but he merely appeared several feet away. used flee the scene to move to J14. I wouldn't have made the grapple check unless I made a natural 20. So this flee the scene is like a contigence spell? cause it was still my turn.
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 05:07 PM	? I thought it was my turn and casting the spell was all your were going to do on your turn...
premier666 10-24-05, 05:08 PM	? I thought it was my turn and casting the spell was all your were going to do on your turn... No, the tentavcles grapple imediatly after being cast
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 05:10 PM	Ah, wel, ignore that post until you finish with your turn. (next time try and post all actions)
premier666 10-24-05, 05:12 PM	Ah, wel, ignore that post until you finish with your turn. (next time try and post all actions) No, wait, you dont understood. I made all my actions. what I was trying to say is that you could not cast a spell to scape the grapple check. wich mean its your turn now, and that you are being grappled by the tentacles.
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 05:19 PM	Eldritch blast is a spell like ability. I used flee the scene, which combines a shortend version of dimension door and major image. oh, and one sec... http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Liruak You take 6 more damage from the vitrolic blast. That knocks you to 29 hp.
premier666 10-24-05, 05:29 PM	I thought grapple means that you could not cast any spells. unless you make a concentration check. But anyway BM point his hand towards the warlock.I can do this all day y'know. Thunder! Again empowered and altered firebrand. 22d6 smae DC as before. 79 damage http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172844 BTW, did you remeber to make the reflex save from my last spell? y'know, this one: There you are! Take that! Thunder! Another huge blast of lighting flies towards the shadow. Casting empowered firebrand. Using all the blasts of the spell (16) to form a huge square covering all the shadow. using move action to draw staff of fire. 22d6=72 DC 23 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172463 Yesterday 11:55 PM
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 06:06 PM	that one hit one of the copies. and where was the blast aimed? at the tentacles? (bm wouldn't know where Li'ruak realy is) No, no you can't. Li'ruak said, dodging most of the blast and firing another pumped up eldritch blast at the wizard. used another maxamized eldrtich blast, this time with repelling blast used. Make a reflex save (dc 10+7+7+2= 26) or be knocked back 3 squares. even then, you take 42 damage, plus the extra 11 from the vitrolic blast. :P Li'ruak Hp: 35 BM Hp: -18 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172848 for the reflex save http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172849 for the miss chance http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172852 for how many squares back you are launched. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=172854 and the final blow dealing vitrolic blast 3rd round damage.
premier666 10-24-05, 06:12 PM	Now that the battle is over i can ask: What the hell happened? you can use this fleeing the scene even while you are grappled? Why I would not know were you are?
gabrion 10-24-05, 08:41 PM	you can use this fleeing the scene even while you are grappled? The short answer is yes, but things were not done properly in this case. There should have been some rolls for the grapple check from the tentacles, but in the end the point is moot. Flee the scene (the invocation used to escape the tentacles) mimics the dimension door spell, which having no somatic components is not hindered by grappling. Why I would not know were you are? As for this, the GMs really need to make a ruling. I haven't played a game yet where the will save for silent image, which is only made "if interacted with," hasn't come into question. Basically, flee the scene leaves behind a major image, which allows a will save if interacted with, which is why you couldn't know which one was really him. I've always played with a minamalist interpretation of what kind of interaction is needed to prompt the will save for silent image, but really the GMs need to weigh in on the topic.
gabrion 11-02-05, 04:40 AM	Can characters fight Monsters here in the Arena, or only other PCs?
jagggar 11-02-05, 10:55 AM	Currently only PCs. But on that note. . . Orcy, wanna work on getting Orcday/Orcy Day worked out?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-03-05, 12:40 PM	Currently only PCs. But on that note. . . Orcy, wanna work on getting Orcday/Orcy Day worked out? If you'd like to work something out for it, Orcy would be fine with it. He isn't exactly sure what you'd want to do.
jagggar 11-03-05, 01:10 PM	Mostly I'm thinking it will involve various types of matches that have to do with chickens.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-03-05, 01:22 PM	Mostly I'm thinking it will involve various types of matches that have to do with chickens. Orcy is plotting... perhaps a 'fried chicken' match. It can take place on the fire field, and the lava will be replaced with hot oil. There will be no killing or anything, and each time you get the chicken or your opponent into the 'deep fryer' you get a point, it can run a set number of rounds and the person with the highest number of points wins in the end.
Demonfey 11-03-05, 02:01 PM	You have to use dire chickens for this.
jagggar 11-03-05, 02:22 PM	no, no, no. legendary giant chickens (http://boards1.wizards.com/archive/index.php/t-382513.html) plan on making a firebreathing variant as I said. But that and any replies I haven't given yet will have to wait until I get back from my trip.
Wilds 11-03-05, 02:22 PM	Will there be fried chicken for sale after the match?
Demonfey 11-03-05, 03:01 PM	Well, jagggar, your creature beats my creature hands down.
dedicated 11-03-05, 05:43 PM	I think someone one ENworld has made either a fire breathing chicken or a Giant fire breathing chicken I know they made an exploding chicken and an exploding chicken swarm though :D I'll see if I can find them Edit: Exploding chicken (http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2134436&postcount=1) the CR seems a bit off though Here's the swarm (http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2162168&postcount=11) A giant chicken (http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1627608&postcount=1) only cr 1 though... Huh...no fire breathing chicken :(
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-08-05, 01:35 PM	Lets see.. Fried Chicken Match 'Fast Food' Match Chicken Fight (since the other word may possibly offend someone for some reason) The 'fast food' match would involve catching a legendary giant chicken with a large amount of spells and such on it to increase it's speed and pin it for say... three rounds, while the other fighter tries to do the same. The Chicken fight would involve polymorph and lots of beaks and talons...
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-08-05, 01:57 PM	On another note, Glenn and his Constructs would like to put out an open challenge to others. Running low on experience for all your crafting needs, need to build some up...
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 08:01 PM	What would be the reward for victory in the Arena?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 08:04 PM	Sulkyr will also fight you (in exchange, I'll get you some work at the GoUE, too.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-10-05, 06:59 PM	Rewards in the arena should be spelled out in the first post. Primarily it is experience, though the combatants decide if they with to wager any more on the match beforehand. Of course, those are only in knock out fights, in a death match the winner gains 1/4 of the losers gold and the other 3/4ths go to the foundation of the loser's choice. Orcy would be fine with fighting Sulkyr, he intends to use his creations in the match as well.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-10-05, 07:00 PM	I am ready to battle. I just need my character approved.
Demonfey 11-10-05, 07:04 PM	@Revenant: okay. Just a minute. @Orcy: by that, do you mean effigies? If so, then can I request one person in the guild for backup to even the field?
jagggar 11-10-05, 07:10 PM	Darby'd also be willing to fight, so long as it's not just her against many, many effigies and Glenn. I was kinda thinking, How does one say in character that they're running low on crafting XP?
Demonfey 11-10-05, 07:20 PM	I think Rev's okay, either of you just want to check? Here's a link (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7566187&postcount=72)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-11-05, 09:52 AM	Darby'd also be willing to fight, so long as it's not just her against many, many effigies and Glenn. I was kinda thinking, How does one say in character that they're running low on crafting XP? "I'm running low on energy with which to imbue these constructs" or something of the sort Orcy would say. Orcy would be fine with it being Orcy and his boys against two others. Just makes it a bit harder to actually win the thing...
Demonfey 11-11-05, 03:05 PM	Well, it does have to be challenging, true? How about a fight that's you and your construct (I'm guessing the stone golem) versus Sulkyr and Darby?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-12-05, 04:02 PM	If Jagggar is up for it, Orcy sees no reason why it wouldn't work.
jagggar 11-12-05, 04:07 PM	I'm up for it. I'm just not able to at this moment (not if you want constant, quick posting). Mom's dragging me back to the old house to bring more stuff over right now. On the bright side, I actually have a bed now.
Demonfey 11-12-05, 04:13 PM	Well, that's good news, assuming you didn't have one before...
jagggar 11-12-05, 11:58 PM	Well, that's good news, assuming you didn't have one before... I did, it's just that I hadn't slept on it since I don't know when. Now for something on topic: My chickens (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=382513) Added two firebreathers at the bottom. I personally like the second firebreather best. Here's kinda how my plan goes. . . Next week we'll get the fight between Glenn and Sulkyr and Darby. Also during next week, I'll get the rules revamped. We finalize events/rules for Orcday events. Orcday then covers from when it starts to either the 'winter break' time or the end of the year. Once it's over, lots of food is sold. Oddly enough, for the fried chicken match, I started seeing some of my really wacko chickens fighting the players. You'd get a point for dealing damage to a chicken and bonus points for delivering the killing blow. If a character gets pushed into the oil, they respawn (there's rules in Dragon for this, I'll get them up later) and lose so many points. Since there's not too much room and the chickens are large, I kinda see them being able to float on level with platforms. . . (I was seeing like 4 chickens and 6 players.) Have a sign-up sheet and have other events to decide who can take part in the fryer match.
Demonfey 11-13-05, 12:00 AM	When the list begins, put me on the top of it, please.
Sssargoth 11-13-05, 12:36 AM	When the list begins, put me on the top of it, please. same here. I wanna bar-b-que me some chicken. :dragon:
Zombomaniac 11-13-05, 12:50 AM	Hey just to let everyone know the Betting Booth is still around you can still make bets and earn money.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-05, 09:26 AM	Alright, Orcy is ready when you are (as long as it isn't tuesday or wednesday night). He hopes Glenn wins the match... he needs some of that xp... hmm... thats right, he has a few things he still needs to finish for Sargatanas. Oh well, Orcy will get to that this week too.
Demonfey 11-14-05, 12:16 PM	I'm ready any time, and just think of it this way: if you defeat the two of us, then you have a good amount of xp, and if you don't, the GoUE has alternatives to exp burning (known as souls).
jagggar 11-14-05, 12:23 PM	I'll be getting chewed out by my dentist in a couple of hours. Other than that I think I should be avaliable. After I get the mall, err, guildhouse done, I plan on having Reece address the XP matter.
Demonfey 11-14-05, 12:25 PM	Sounds good to me. I may have to start in later today, due to a lab that may take three hours. It probably won't, but I'm just saying it may.
jagggar 11-16-05, 01:53 PM	So are we all here? Could we at least start right now?
Demonfey 11-16-05, 02:00 PM	I could at least start in, although I'll have to disappear at 3:10 to 7 tonight.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 02:02 PM	Orcy would be fine with starting. It'll just keep him from decking himself out in even more magical items and making this ever more difficult for you two...
Demonfey 11-16-05, 02:05 PM	If my half dragon goes down, just leave him dead. I'm planning on replacing him soon, anyway.
jagggar 11-16-05, 02:08 PM	Well, we can at least get started, then finish it as we each have time. Starting positions?
Demonfey 11-16-05, 02:10 PM	Is K1 okay?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 02:27 PM	How about you two at K and J 7 and Orcy will begin across the way at K 34?
Demonfey 11-16-05, 02:33 PM	Sounds good to me. Since I'm going to end up headed to classes in 20 minutes (or thereabouts), here's my initiative: 8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189495)
jagggar 11-16-05, 03:08 PM	Number in front is today's date, just for clarification. (Blame my dad if you don't like the format. I always used to hate it, but magically started using it after he died it seems.) 111605 Init VS. Glenn (1d20+2=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189501)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 03:57 PM	Glenn steps out into the arena riding on the back of a massive stone beast with Draconic features. He slides off of it's shoulders as it stands up and his typical Erinyes companion lands beside him. Initiative: 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189506) Since Glenn has a higher dex modifier, Orcy believes he goes first.
jagggar 11-16-05, 04:03 PM	Yep.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 04:14 PM	Glenn says a few words to the creatures around him then begins to walk down the field. His tower shield floating from his back to hover infront of him as he pulls a steel baton type object from his belt. Kitara, the erinyes, pulls her bow from her back and takes aim. Firing an Arrow toward Sulky as she takes to the air. Attack: 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189520) Damage: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189521) (Fire damage not rolled since Sulkyr is immune to it, 1 added to damage (forgot about the +1 from being... +1)) Glenn: K29 Golem: H, I, J - 29, 30, 31 (15ft square)
jagggar 11-16-05, 04:17 PM	So what are positions now?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 04:19 PM	So what are positions now? Just modified that.
jagggar 11-16-05, 04:40 PM	Okay, two last things before I take my turn: About what square is Kitara over? Did you make a final decision on if the Arena replunishes any used items? (Since I'd assume she'd be told before the match starts.)
Demonfey 11-16-05, 05:04 PM	Popping in for a bit before having to disappear again in about an hour (test... :yuck: ) Ow.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 05:35 PM	Kitara is over L34, and no Orcy never made a final decision on that, wanted other people's opinions. Orcy would say lets do it for now and see how it works.
jagggar 11-16-05, 05:37 PM	Including magical? If magical ammo is repluntished. . . Darby dashes forward, leaping over the water to land upon the small island. As she lands she draws back her own bow and fires at Glenn. Option 1: Jump;Attack (1d20+22=30, 1d20+17=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189537) It's a phasing arrow, so it will ignore either Cover, Sheild, or Armor in that order. Option 1: Damage (just in case) (1d8+5=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189539) Moves to K19. If magical ammo is not repluntished. . . (And I can tell I'm butchering the word) Darby runs around the water, preparing to rush Glenn with an attack. Double moves to O25 BTW, your AC looks a bit funky to me? I get. . . 10 + 13 armor + 3 dex + 5 luck (+ 9 shield) = 31 (40 :eek: )

Orcy will check the armor now, and we're going to go with the replenishing ammo and such. You are right, 40 it is.
jagggar 11-16-05, 05:52 PM	One. I don't really see any cover, so that would be the shield I guess. In which case the 22 misses. (It's just the deflection bonus. I believe it's supposed to be an enhancement bonus to your armor.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 05:53 PM	One. I don't really see any cover, so that would be the shield I guess. In which case the 22 misses. (It's just the deflection bonus. I believe it's supposed to be an enhancement bonus to your armor.) Glenn originally had a ring of protection before Orcy overhauled his items and changed some things, he seems to have forgotten to fix the armor.
Demonfey 11-16-05, 05:55 PM	Just doing this quickly: Running to where Darby jumped, Sulkyr uses the power of his gem eye, shooting a fireball towards Glenn (1/2 fire, 1/2 unholy). Will have to get back to you on a roll-test time. 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189608) ref: 14
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 06:36 PM	Glenn's ring flashes for a moment and he twists his body around with great speed to avoid all of the flames and evil that the fireball lets forth. Reflex save: 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189580) (Glenn has a ring of Evasion and Orcy assumes an eye of flame, which has a DC of 14, if the DC is different, just tell him and he'll be sure to take the damage if he failed.) Glenn raises his wand upward and points it toward Darby as he walks foreward into the more shallow water. Three rays of searing flame errupt from the wand and streak out toward Darby. The Golem continues it's walk, heading right into the water and continuing to walk, part of it's body remaining above the water due to it's size. Meanwhile Kitara moves a bit closer and fires off an pair of shots at Sulkyr. Ranged Touch Attacks: 30, 21, 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189581) Scorching Ray damage: 14, 13, 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189582) Rapid shot attacks VS Sulkyr: 19, 30 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189583) Attack Damage: 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189585) Glenn: K27 Golem: H-J 25-27 Kitara: Over L33
jagggar 11-16-05, 07:03 PM	Darby draws the sword upon her back, as she leaps across the water to land with a splash next to Glenn. She brings the jagged blade down upon the wand shattering it. "Much better," she grins. I believe this is all right. . . HP: 70+13 healing armor (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189595)= 83 Jump (1d20+22=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189603) to L27 Sunder Wand att;dmg, ignores hardness (1d20+26=43, 1d8+14=15) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=189609)

Demonfey 11-16-05, 07:15 PM	Made a (rather pathetic) attempt at hurting your chances of winning in my last post. Your turn again, Orcy.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-05, 07:30 PM	Glenn looks at the broken wand and drops it to the ground, he looks at Darby a bit annoyed. "That was a fine waste of good craftsmanship!" Glenn swings his stone fist toward Darby, following it with the long red claws of his other arm. The golem behind him lifts it's arms up and brings them both down at Darby as well. The claw slicing into her flesh. Kitara moves a bit closer and sends a couple arrows sailing toward Sulkyr.

Demonfey 11-16-05, 07:43 PM	nevermind (for now.)
jagggar 11-16-05, 10:35 PM	Darby slouches back, bitter about being taken out in another fight. She bites her lip and concentrates on her breathing. Out of curiosity, what's the CR of that golem? And heck, of Kitara while we're at it.
Demonfey 11-16-05, 10:41 PM	Seeing Darby get pummeled and then reappear in one of the bleacher seats, and knowing that he himself is on his last legs, Sulkyr actually says something for a change. Oh, f*** I'm dead. Should've brought the golem with me. With that, Sulkyr draws his sword, flickers for a minute, and appears behind Glenn, with a look of calmness that says, "If I'm going down, I might as well be in combat". Let's see...I don't think I get an attack this round.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-17-05, 04:25 PM	The golem's large fist swings across and slams into Sulkyr's body with tremendous force. Glenn ducks as the fist passes over him then stands back up and brushes himself off. He walks up into the stands and takes a seat next to Darby with a grin. "So.... how you doin?" Glenn's eyebrows do a bit of an up and down motion as his grin widens and he winks. Attack and Damage: 61 and 32 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=190001)
Demonfey 11-17-05, 04:39 PM	The body disappears, but doesn't reappear whole anywhere around. Then, you hear the chains, and see something being dragged into hell. Then, both are gone. Yup...told him not to sell his soul when he could just train as a warlock, but no...
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-17-05, 04:49 PM	Darby slouches back, bitter about being taken out in another fight. She bites her lip and concentrates on her breathing. Out of curiosity, what's the CR of that golem? And heck, of Kitara while we're at it. Kitara is CR 12, the Golem Orcy believes is CR 16 (Greater Stone Golem from the MM) Edit: On second thought, Orcy would say probably about CR 14 or low end CR 15.
jagggar 11-17-05, 07:21 PM	"I was doing quite well." Her slow breathing becomes more forced. "Until you sat down and made it hard to concentrate, that is."
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-05, 02:02 PM	Glenn gasps and clutches his chest just over his heart. "Oooh... so cold."
jagggar 11-22-05, 08:38 PM	Darby's relieved that he didn't try to flatter himself with her comment. She stands and offers him her hand, "It was a good match though."
Master_of_Flames 11-22-05, 09:02 PM	Hey orcy, want to keep on eye on a rematch between me and premier?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-05, 01:26 AM	Orcy will, like some others he is sure, be heading home for thanksgiving tomorrow. So he is not sure how often he will be online in that time. If he is around when you two are, then perhaps he can oversee the match, otherwise there are other GMs that are around. Orcy is sure Jagggar would be more than capable if she had the time. If not, Orcy would say try Sssargoth or someone else who is impartial in the match.
premier666 11-23-05, 05:38 AM	Orcy will, like some others he is sure, be heading home for thanksgiving tomorrow. So he is not sure how often he will be online in that time.

If not, Orcy would say try Sssargoth or someone else who is impartial in the match. Nah, we can wait. the mountain top arena without orcy is not the same thing. :D Anyway, what was your final ruling about expending items in the arena?
premier666 11-25-05, 07:18 PM	Shameless :bump: :P Yo, orcy question upstream.
Dyne 11-25-05, 10:43 PM	As soon as Orcy gets back, I'm looking for a mage duel with Grindelwald. Any takers?
Sssargoth 11-25-05, 11:14 PM	As soon as Orcy gets back, I'm looking for a mage duel with Grindelwald. Any takers? Im not a mage, but I accept.
Dyne 11-25-05, 11:18 PM	Im not a mage, but I accept. Excellent. :plotting: It would probably be better to make it a regular match, though, instead of a mage duel.
Sssargoth 11-25-05, 11:24 PM	Excellent. :plotting: It would probably be better to make it a regular match, though, instead of a mage duel. So... does this make you the chalenger and me the chalangee?
Master_of_Flames 11-25-05, 11:29 PM	Get in line though, Premier and I have been waiting for orcy to get ready so we can fight.
Dyne 11-25-05, 11:30 PM	So... does this make you the chalenger and me the chalangee? Uh, I guess so. Does it really matter? @MoF: Of course we shall wait. I will need a little time to prepare, anyway.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-25-05, 11:57 PM	As Orcy said, he may not be online much until monday. He is home for the vacation and hasn't been doing a whole lot of checking on the board.
premier666 11-26-05, 07:14 AM	As Orcy said, he may not be online much until monday. He is home for the vacation and hasn't been doing a whole lot of checking on the board. Yeah no problem. I just wanna know what was your final decision on using charged items in the arena. and on using spell components.
Sssargoth 11-26-05, 12:32 PM	Uh, I guess so. Does it really matter? Yeah, it means I get to pick the field. :dragon:
turalisj 11-26-05, 12:35 PM	*sits down to wait for the fight*
Master_of_Flames 11-26-05, 12:38 PM	perhaps a four person free for all? or sssargoth's character and Li'ruak vs bm and dyne's character?
Dyne 11-26-05, 02:57 PM	perhaps a four person free for all? or sssargoth's character and Li'ruak vs bm and dyne's character? That would be very interesting. I'm up for a match of all 4 of us.
jagggar 11-26-05, 03:08 PM	Well, last match Orcy said things are repluntished. I'd assume that stays the same since he didn't say otherwise. I think challenger-ee distrinctins might only apply in matches with one of the gladiators, but I'm not sure. Also quite the question, do competitors in a non-gladiator match get paid?
premier666 11-26-05, 03:43 PM	That would be very interesting. I'm up for a match of all 4 of us. A free for all would be ok, but BM is not quite the person who fights in team.
Wilds 11-26-05, 06:49 PM	Can Incarin get in on any fights?
Zombomaniac 11-26-05, 06:52 PM	Can Incarin get in on any fights? Fight Glenn. He could use some XP.
Wilds 11-26-05, 06:56 PM	Non-lethal im good for. As long as he doesnt bring his mass armies of guys its fine lol
turalisj 11-26-05, 07:02 PM	Could try for an iajutsu duel when I get Denrik finished...
jagggar 11-26-05, 07:32 PM	Hmm, with as many people rearing to go. . . Orcy, what if we ran a third gladiator tourny once you have the time?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-26-05, 09:12 PM	Well.. Orcy should be back monday as he said. Hes on now if anybody who was looking to fight is around. Yes, Orcy thinks the replenishing items idea should work. It keeps people from having to waste a lot of money fighting in the arena (for knock out matches). In fights against gladiators, only the winner recieves money for the fight. So if the challenger wins, yes he/she gets the money.
turalisj 11-26-05, 09:16 PM	I think she meant fights not pertaining to gladiator combat (i.e knockout fights)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-26-05, 09:17 PM	I think she meant fights not pertaining to gladiator combat (i.e knockout fights) Then no, unless the combatants come to an agreement before the battle about who gets what when they win.
jagggar 11-26-05, 09:17 PM	But in a fight between non-gladiators they get nothing unless they bet upon it, correct?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-26-05, 09:45 PM	But in a fight between non-gladiators they get nothing unless they bet upon it, correct? Indeed, there is no real threat (and it is not against a 'seasoned' gladiator) so there is nothing rewarded from the Arena. The knock out fights are more for those who wish to test their strengths, or settle an argument.
turalisj 11-26-05, 09:48 PM	Denrik is ready to kick fleshling butt. just need a gm to look him over (link below) http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7198059&postcount=49
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-28-05, 12:27 PM	Orcy is around and ready whenever you fighters want your battles to take place.
jagggar 11-28-05, 01:45 PM	No real threat. . . Hmmm. . . *flips d20 Modern book open* What do you think about turning this into the third gladiator turny if all the people in a hurry to battle agree?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-28-05, 01:54 PM	Orcy guesses that could work if everyone agrees to it. So what happened to all the wondrous chicken matches?
Demonfey 11-28-05, 02:06 PM	Waiting for a better "Orcy day"? Also, just because it is something that no chicken themed day is complete without, the distance chicken punt.
jagggar 11-28-05, 02:14 PM	Backburnner in favor of simplifying the other rules. Did finish up two types of firebreathing chickens though. If you can come up with the match ideas, feel free to do it. I'll help with what I can, but my mechanical-creativity's gunna be kinda kaput for a bit. (I was trying to come up with a point system, but that fizzed out once I tried to do so for magic. Easy to type up if ya wanna hear it.) Oh, and the fire-field replaced with boiling oil might be a bit small for the legendary chickens since they're Large in size and most of the fire arena is 5ft wide. EDIT: Actually, I'm bored, so I was starting to type up the system, then I had ideas to make it work, maybe. Killing Blow: 5 pts Hit Chicken w/Weapon (Touch AC): 1 pt Damage Chicken w/Weapon: 1 pt Overcome SR/PR: 1 pt (Must be spell that allows for _R against chicken who has _R) Chicken fails Save: 1 pt (Spell must allow for Save) Damage Chicken w/Spell: 1pt Pushed off or defeated: -3 pts? (could see anywhere from -3 to -5 points)
premier666 11-28-05, 04:07 PM	I'm ready to start my fight as soon as Master of Flames comes around. Hey MoF where are you? BTW, I'll be online all day today and all day tomorrow. Also I know I'm annoying but I still want to konw: what was the final ruling on expending items and spell components in the arena?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-28-05, 04:08 PM	Orcy has not yet made a FINAL ruling. However he is going to test it out for a while with replenishing supplies and such. Since these battles are more 'tests' and such, Orcy feels the players shouldn't have to pay a lot just to take part in them.
premier666 11-28-05, 04:11 PM	Orcy has not yet made a FINAL ruling. However he is going to test it out for a while with replenishing supplies and such. Since these battles are more 'tests' and such, Orcy feels the players shouldn't have to pay a lot just to take part in them. okay then.
Master_of_Flames 11-28-05, 09:32 PM	ready.
gabrion 11-28-05, 10:16 PM	If this is going to be a gladiator match and there is still room, I'd like to fight with my SBB character. He isn't exactly cut out for arena fighting, but I think it would be fun to try out anyway.
Dyne 11-28-05, 10:43 PM	I'd like to withdraw any battles with Grindelwald. I will change characters shortly, I'd like to go for a different character concept.
Demonfey 11-28-05, 10:45 PM	But you get three different characters that you can make.
Dyne 11-28-05, 10:49 PM	But you get three different characters that you can make. I know. I've got William Emrys, Lawful Good knight of Ghashmal Keep, Purple Dragons, and Swordpoint Military Academy. I've got Quarion Liadon, Forest Elf Druid of the Forest Dwellers Foundation and the Elf Foundation. That leaves me one Evil character, and I've rather lost fondness of Grindelwald.
Demonfey 11-28-05, 10:51 PM	Ah. Maybe that one guy who you had frame Dyne all the time?
Dyne 11-28-05, 10:54 PM	Ah. Maybe that one guy who you had frame Dyne all the time? You mean Falur? You seem to be the only one that likes that guy. Can't stand him myself. I was planning on executing him at one point, but right now he's just rotting in the dungeons of the Stormhand Federation. I want to create a totally different character. Heck, I might even make a new PrC or two for him. I'll post him up when I've got it figured out. For now, I'm using Grindelwald for RP, and I'm working on my other two.
Demonfey 11-28-05, 10:58 PM	No, the guy you had that caused in part the trial at the HEF, and made evil stink bombs in the HEF closets.
Dyne 11-28-05, 11:03 PM	No, the guy you had that caused in part the trial at the HEF, and made evil stink bombs in the HEF closets. Aseir Pashar? He was an interesting character, but he was a Shadow Adept, and after seeing the 3.5 revision for that PrC, I decided I don't like it anymore. He was good as a 3.0 character. I look forward to the next gladiator match, though. If I can finish up William Emrys in time, maybe I'll have him participate. I don't think there are any mounted gladiators so far. EDIT: I don't remember making evil stinkbombs, heh heh, sounds like an interesting idea though. :plotting:
Demonfey 11-28-05, 11:05 PM	Okay.
turalisj 11-29-05, 07:09 AM	but right now he's just rotting in the dungeons of the Stormhand Federation. not anymore...... now it's just his body down there. :D
premier666 11-29-05, 05:32 PM	Sorry for the delay, I'm also ready
pquekadl 11-29-05, 07:00 PM	An elf materializes in the stands. "Ah... the famed mountain top arena." He then takes a seat to watch the upcoming fight.
premier666 12-01-05, 03:05 PM	Hey, orcy, Master of Flames and I were going to have a fight. in the forest arena. unfotunatly, its been a week, and none of us seem to be online at the same time. what about we just go posting as possible? it may take some time but it is better then waiting around.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-05, 03:20 PM	If thats how you two would like to do it. Orcy would say it should be fine... perhaps trying to set up a schedule for when the two of you would be online at the same time?
premier666 12-01-05, 03:25 PM	If thats how you two would like to do it. Orcy would say it should be fine... perhaps trying to set up a schedule for when the two of you would be online at the same time? thats the problem, I'm having extra classes at school, but they keep changing the time so I never know when I'm able to be online.
premier666 12-02-05, 11:05 PM	Hey Orcy, you can properly start the match as Soon as possible, but to make things easy, I'll post the inititiative already. I'm also PMing the spell list. BTW, forest arena. Black Mage init:17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=304548) HP: 106 AC: 20
Master_of_Flames 12-02-05, 11:37 PM	Here's for Li'ruak... Hit Points: 132 (fixed) AC: 23, Touch: 15, Flatfooted: 20 init: 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Liruak&limit=on) Li'ruak floated into the arena, his feet a few inches off the ground.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-05, 01:11 AM	Starting positions are J3 and K38
premier666 12-03-05, 07:21 AM	Black Mage position himself, ready to start Blowing stuff up. Cammon, Elf-boy, what are you waiting for? Gimme your best shot! It's MoF first right?
Master_of_Flames 12-03-05, 01:59 PM	Li'ruak ignored the comment, shaking his head. A purple-green blast lanced out and struck BM in the chest. The blast began eating away at the wizards robes, revealing his chest. ooc: does my attack count as BM being flat-footed? if so, then double the damage from the eldritch blast, but not the damage from the vitrolic part. actions: fire a maimized vitrolic eldritch spear at BM (250ft range). Hit on a natural 20, possible critical confirm. Damage: 42 (possible 84) +12 vitrolic damage for a total 54 (or 86) damage. Move 30ft into the air.
premier666 12-03-05, 04:37 PM	BLack Mage looks at the wound at his chest. Its not psoosible to see his face, but he is obviosuly in pain. Regaining his feet, BM draws a rod. With it he creats a huge ball of ligthing. HADOUKEN! Actions: draws lesser rod of metamagic, empower. casts: . empowered chain lighting+ quickened fireball turned into lighting (empowered using the rod). Damage: empowered chain lighting: 80 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=305335) DC: 24 Empowered and quickened fireball: 68 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=305336) DC: 21
Master_of_Flames 12-03-05, 06:01 PM	Liruak dodged the first blast, but took the second one head on. Cracking his neck, he sent a second vitrolic blast at the mage, striking him in the shoulder this time. The wound from the second blast bit even deeper in, the acid swarming through the human's veins. L'ruak acitvated his internal healing, some of the wounds sealing up. Li'ruak's hp: 25 (+1 regeneration) Bm's hp: -2 damage: 42+6+54+8= 110 reflex save 1 (for lightning): 29, success Relfex save 2 (for fireball): 19, fail I think this proves the superiority of warlocks. :P

Orcy doesn't recall there being four sections to an eldritch blast.

Master_of_Flames 12-04-05, 02:12 AM	http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=Liruak&limit=on heh. This was a pure damage match. and I was wanting to make this longer... owell.
Master_of_Flames 12-04-05, 02:14 AM	Mind explaining each part of that 110 damage. Orcy doesn't recall there being four sections to an eldritch blast. 42 max eldritch blast 6 max vitrolic damage 54 from the damage before 8 from the vitrolic damage from before.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-05, 02:16 AM	42 max eldritch blast 6 max vitrolic damage 54 from the damage before 8 from the vitrolic damage from before. Ah... you added the damage from the last round. Thats where Orcy got confused. He would suggest next time say the damage from that round alone.
Master_of_Flames 12-04-05, 02:20 AM	Ok. How much xp is gained from the fight?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-05, 02:27 AM	Ok. How much xp is gained from the fight? Lets see... 3375xp for the fight. Unless Jagggar decided to change it and didn't notify Orcy...
Master_of_Flames 12-04-05, 02:38 AM	:weep: 1k short for the next level. I'm off to go kill someone so I can get to lvl 16, cya!
premier666 12-04-05, 09:50 AM	Seriously, aren't there anyone thats weaker than me? well ok, lets see my matches overall: number of matches: 4 number of victories: 0 number of kills: 0 number of defeats: 4 number of times killed: 4 :weep: I think I'm gonna kill BM and make another character.
Zombomaniac 12-04-05, 10:13 AM	Seriously, aren't there anyone thats weaker than me? well ok, lets see my matches overall: number of matches: 4 number of victories: 0 number of kills: 0 number of defeats: 4 number of times killed: 4 :weep: I think I'm gonna kill BM and make another character. Mabye just make a better BM. Scrape his current stats, make new better ones, and keep the character personality.
premier666 12-04-05, 10:45 AM	Mabye just make a better BM. Scrape his current stats, make new better ones, and keep the character personality. yeah, thats a possilbe good idea. I'll see what I'll be able to do. Maybe when I buy the complete arcane I'll have something better. (wich I'll probably buy next month)
turalisj 12-04-05, 01:31 PM	When is the next gladiator competition going to be orcy? I'd like to know since I'm going to enter Denrik in it.
jagggar 12-04-05, 06:06 PM	Darby's 0-2. Wanna match between her and BM? Anyone got ideas for chicken matches?
premier666 12-05-05, 06:05 PM	Darby's 0-2. Wanna match between her and BM? Anyone got ideas for chicken matches? Yeah, I think BM never faced a non-spell caster before. About chicken matches: Well what types of chicken we got so far?
pquekadl 12-05-05, 09:06 PM	Make people fight a chicken with the titanic, warbeast, dire, monster of legand, and paragon templates aplied to it. I doubt that anyone would be able to beat it, but it would be funny for like, five seconds.
jagggar 12-05-05, 09:40 PM	There's an actual dire template? I've made three and someone else posted a bunch more up http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=382513 Okay guys, who's up for the next battle? Or is it gunna turn into the 3rd gladiator match?
Master_of_Flames 12-05-05, 09:54 PM	I want to see the next gladiator match. It should be interesting.
pquekadl 12-05-05, 10:58 PM	Somebody told me that dire is a template, but I don't know if its true or where it is.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-05, 06:38 PM	Orcy is a bit bored, so Orcy is announcing the next gladiator match. Sign up today or get clubbed! The Green Wonder's voice booms out across the land. The activity at the arena grows as people come to gather and an anouncement is made. Standing atop one of the massive walls the Green Wonder calls out toward the surrounding land of Tyrannor. "Come forth yet again combatants! The next Gladiator Match will soon begin, and our next gladitorial champion shall be crowned! This time you are in for quite a treat, the arena floor for this contest shall be changed to one never before seen in this land! Come forth, and do battle might warriors of Tyrannor!!"
turalisj 12-10-05, 06:43 PM	Denrik entered the sign up booth, his two blades at his side. I will enter this fight of honor, and see if my skill is worthy enough. Signing Denrik up.
Dyne 12-10-05, 06:52 PM	I claim a spot with my new bard character. Still not sure what I'm gonna name him, though. Probably something latinish, like the Emperors of Rome.
gabrion 12-10-05, 07:20 PM	This sounds like fun. I will enter the exctiment with my assassin character Shador. He isn't exactly made for the arena fight kinda thing, but it should still be fun.
Sssargoth 12-10-05, 08:33 PM	Definately going to try again. The red dragon flys into the arena. "Yeah, Im guna try again."
turalisj 12-10-05, 08:56 PM	noo!! I don't have any ranged weapons! waaa! :weep:
Demonfey 12-10-05, 10:03 PM	Might as well try the ninja character out. Sign me up.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-05, 10:22 PM	Gladitorial competitorsDenrik Bard-dude-guy Shador Sssargoth Tetsuo Next! We should need just one more, then Orcy shall make the big reveal!
turalisj 12-10-05, 10:25 PM	The ninja is Tetsujo (or tetsuo, can't remember which)
Demonfey 12-10-05, 10:32 PM	Oh :censored: I forgot about finals. Could you take me off the list? Sorry about this. They begin Monday morning for me.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-05, 10:33 PM	Oh :censored: I forgot about finals. Could you take me off the list? Sorry about this. They begin Monday morning for me. Don't worry, Orcy has finals as well. So it is likely that he'll be starting this after his finals are over (roughly around wed-thurs).
Demonfey 12-10-05, 10:35 PM	Oh, okay. I should be able to late Wednesday-most of Thursday, then.
premier666 12-11-05, 08:49 AM	Put Black Mage in! Maybe he'll kill someone this time! BTW: I'll be able to be online this whole week, sometime of the day, but not all day.
Dyne 12-11-05, 02:27 PM	Just wondering, but would a character be able to bring a cohort in, and possibly a few followers?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-05, 02:41 PM	Typically a Cohort is only allowed if the other players agree to allow them. However, this is a gladitorial match, and thus you alone can enter. Now, that makes six players... Orcy shall reveal the map and such soon.

Zombomaniac 12-11-05, 08:00 PM	ARG!!!! I have been waiting for this to come up and I'm not here in time to sign up. :mad:
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-05, 09:14 PM	Orcy waves his hand and the arena floor begins to change. The earth rises up in a few places in large objects of stone. A river spreads out through the center as towers build themselves up on each side of the river. A bridge stretches itself across the river as fortifications of stone create themselves on each side of the river. Orcy looks out across the arena and grins as he looks down upon the combatants. The Arena (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/BaddieX51/Arena/arenagridflags.jpg) "Orcy has told you that a new arena shall be used... but what has not been mentioned is you will not be alone. Here are the rules for this battle!" There will be two sets of teams, the teams are... Denrik, Shador, Tetsuo :: Dyne's Bard ::, Sssargoth, Black Mage The objective is to capture the enemies flag. Teamates shall not attack eachother. The winner shall be the first person to capture the opponents flag three times, to do this you must take the flag and bring it to your own base. No teleportation is allowed. You may only attack enemies who are on your side of the river, on the bridge, or on one of the towers. If killed in battle, you will be ressurected 1d4 rounds later at your flag. The individual who wins shall be the one who has defeated the most enemies and gathered the most flags. Points will be awarded for each, and these points will be kept secret.
Demonfey 12-11-05, 09:17 PM	Hopefully, it will be Halo style (read: slaughter fest)
turalisj 12-11-05, 09:32 PM	one word AWESOME! :D Now, if only kobolds could be released at random to slaughter as we went....
jagggar 12-11-05, 09:45 PM	Are the red and blue things on either side of the river (Red: 13h-i, 14i-l, 13l-m) anything that hinder movement?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-05, 09:47 PM	Are the red and blue things on either side of the river (Red: 13h-i, 14i-l, 13l-m) anything that hinder movement? Wooden barricades roughly 5ft high
turalisj 12-11-05, 09:50 PM	where do we start? And why is there one team with melee/sneak attackers and one team with ranged attackers who can fly?!?
Demonfey 12-11-05, 09:52 PM	You've got a flyer on your team, Turalisj (let's hear it for fiendish grafts!)
turalisj 12-11-05, 09:59 PM	ah, ok. When do we start? Denrik walked into the arena, his hood over his head. He nodded to his two companions, then his eyes gowed and changed color. I still tell you it is a bad idea to be competing in such...a..cometition...as...well :censored:, you gave control of the mouth the me, didn't you? Owell, lets get going on this. Please don't damage me though. His docent is like C3-P0. Always complaining.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-05, 10:05 PM	Team 1 will have positions in... C12, J13, and Q12, decide amongst yourselves where each of you will start. Team 2 will have positions in... D29, K28, and R29, do the same with your positions. Things will begin around wed-thurs because Orcy has finals in the next three days.
Demonfey 12-11-05, 10:08 PM	Same (except for Wednesday. That's a 5 hour drive that'll be longer due to snow).
Zombomaniac 12-11-05, 10:08 PM	Things will begin around wed-thurs because Orcy has finals in the next three days. Yes! Plenty of time for people to make bets. This should be fun. :cool:
jagggar 12-11-05, 10:16 PM	Might I make a request? Check the post count. Make this the first battle of the new arena rather than kill this one?
Zombomaniac 12-11-05, 10:45 PM	Might I make a request? Check the post count. Make this the first battle of the new arena rather than kill this one? Good Idea. I suggest the next post be Orcy closing this thread for the opening of the new one. Since we are getting dangerusly close I suggest that no one else, other than Orcy, post till the new thread is made.
Dyne 12-12-05, 01:04 AM	ARG!!!! I have been waiting for this to come up and I'm not here in time to sign up. :mad: You know what, I withdraw. I haven't even got a name for my character. You can take my place, Zombo.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-12-05, 03:56 PM	Alright then, those of you who have yet to do so, Orcy would say discuss the upcoming battle with your teams. It would be in your best intrest to go in working together, perhaps Orcy has more suprises!? Who knows!? Stay tuned to this Orcy station, and this Orcy channel, well... the next Orcy channel, since this Orcy channel is about to be shut down to avoid that whole large post count thing.. when the posts get a bit more in number and dangerously close to that 1000 mark that is.
