Orcy The Green Wonder 11-13-04, 11:53 PM	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. Still used today to solve differences between guilds and other groups that do not wish to go to war. Orcy himself will be watching over this thread. This will be used for the IFGW if people would rather take their fight to Orcy and do battle singly instead of a mass war to solve a... difference of opinion. Or even as training. If Orcy is not around, other GMs or judges can feel free to take Orcy's spot for the time being. If theres no objections by Sil or any of the Judges that is. Then Orcy would like to say "Lets get it on!" (always wanted to say that and mean it) COMBAT RULES The rules will be different for each type of combat. The following are the types of combat that may take place here at this arena. Single Combat: Anything Goes (no limit on attack types) Mage Duel (Magic only) Gladatorial Match (No magic, combat focus only) Anything Goes: Players begin 80ft apart. Mage Duel: Players begin 100ft apart Gladatorial Match: Players begin 60ft apart. Group combat may also take place, those to participate will choose the number of characters allowed in each group. These battles can be done in the following ways: Battle to the Death Last Man Standing In a battle to the death the oppenent(s) that win are given a fourth of the defeated's equipment in value. The remaining three fourths goes to the guild that the individual(s) is/are associated with. In a Last Man Standing competition, the competitors fight until one of them is unconcious. They must agree to terms beforehand about monetary prize for the win. Perhaps wagering gear or gold, perhaps something else. (Battles for a title may be done in this way) ARENA RULES The rules for the arena in general are as follows. There will be no interfering in fights. Those who interfere will be asked to leave the arena. If they do not comply, they will be forcibly removed. Orcy's (or the judges) rule is law here. What he says goes, though you may challenge a judgement. In which case another pair of judges will be asked to make a ruling as well. If an opponent surrenders, or asks for mercy it must be given. Unless the battle is a fight to the death. The battle will begin with no boosting spells cast upon the combatants. All spells must be cast in battle. No instant death or instant knock out items or spells may be used in the arena. Items that require save or die fall under this rule. A character may only fight in one battle in a row. Unless they are part of a tournament of sorts. There will be positions available for other players to take part in. There will be One player to take bets. There will be One player to assist in enforcing the non-interference policy. There will be One player to monitor the time on spells (if they wish) ARENA SUPERVISOR This position will be in the hands of Orcy himself. If Orcy is not around it will be up to other judges or GMs to take his place, if they wish to. For easy reference, here is what abilities the judges have. Throne of the Arena True Seeing spell always in effect on whoever sits in the throne. Status Spell always in effect for whoever sits in the throne, targets are those fighting in the arena. All spells cast by whoever is sitting in the throne are maximixed for all effects, this includes such things as an automatic 20 on touch attacks, dispel checks, and other such rolls. Spells targeting whoever sits on the throne are dispelled before contact, unless allowed by the one sitting on the throne. Whoever sits on the throne may detect and listen to all forms of telepathic, magical, or mundane communications in the stadium. They do not have to listen if they do not wish to. Words spoken by whoever sits in the throne can be heard by all in the arena. No matter how softly they speak. Only those recognized by Orcy may sit in the throne. That is those who he has given permission to do so. (judges and GMs) Any other who attempts to seat themself in the throne is instantly sent outside the arena.
Demonfey 11-13-04, 11:56 PM	Very nice.

Droga 11-14-04, 12:06 AM	(Dont really think we need to post our stats, thats what the character thread is for isnt it? And no such luck Dyne. Droga is from a plane on the border of the shadow plane.) Droga melts out of the shadows. Stalking toward the middle of the arena. He grins as he does so, this fight would not be too difficult. What could a puny mortal do to him?
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:09 AM	(Dont really think we need to post our stats, thats what the character thread is for isnt it?) I posted my stats for easy reference for everyone. Now, let's get it on! Dyne, the Elf Warrior Wizard moves towards the center of the arean. This time, he dons his Full Plate armor and wields his two Bastard Swords. He stands waiting for the overseer of the battle to declare it started. By-the-way, Orcy, I have to PM you the list of spells I have prepared for the day....
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-14-04, 12:09 AM	[COLOR=Silver]In a flash of blue light the Frostbite had teleported to his own private section of the arena. At first built to be a totally private viewing place in the etheral plane, The High King had decided to make it on the physical plane. Thus it will appear as clear as day in the etheral plane unlike the rest of the blury material plane. The section had a cloth covering over it and was adorned with gold, gems and his favorite pieces of artwork. With him are only a very select few of nobles and their servants. However you do notice that there are no guards. The High King sits down and waits for the upcomming fight. Pointless one might think, as he already knew the outcome. [COLOR] OOC - Sorry guys I kinda got lost over the couple of threads you spread this conflict too. PM if you need me as I'm kinda lost what to say. -Frosty
Demonfey 11-14-04, 12:12 AM	{A gate opens on one side, and the half elven foundation enters the arena seating to watch. On the other side, a gate opens, and the Guild of Ultimate Evil enters through there, also to see what happens. Finally, a third gate opens, and the High King comes through} Just thought I'd bring the factions to watch.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 12:13 AM	Orcy doesn't really need the stats. Though he would like the spell lists. Heres how its going to go. You will start lets see. 80 ft apart. You will roll initiative,etc using this: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/rolldata.asp Orcy is fairly sure you all know the rules, so he will leave saying if the attack hits or not to the player attacked. (using AC and such and linking their dice roll for saves and everything else.) Mark the roll as say... Attack1 vs Droga. Or the like with Droga agaisnt Dyne. Any questions before this begins?
turalisj 11-14-04, 12:14 AM	a bronze dragon flies in, in his claws are an elf and two half elf* may we use cohorts and followers?
Demonfey 11-14-04, 12:18 AM	Only those two are fighting, turalisj.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 12:19 AM	Only if the other fighter agrees turjalis. But in this case, the battle is between Dyne and Droga. So.. you wond be participating in this one. You can watch of course.
Droga 11-14-04, 12:19 AM	No questions here, just give us the ok when you want us to start.
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:20 AM	a bronze dragon flies in, in his claws are an elf and two half elf* may we use cohorts and followers? Only me and Droga are fighting. Rolls for Initiative: Can't tell, 'cause the die roller doesn't work!
turalisj 11-14-04, 12:21 AM	very well..... GO DYNE, KICK HIS BUTT!
Droga 11-14-04, 12:23 AM	It works, you just have to fill out every field (you dont need a + for the modifier). Heres my initiative (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga#134001)
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:28 AM	It works, you just have to fill out every field (you dont need a + for the modifier). Heres my initiative Got it. Rolls for iniative: 16 You can find my die roll results here (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp). Hey! It looks like someone else used my username for a Hit Die roll. Droga, you win initiative. Go first.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 12:29 AM	Orcy raises his large metllic left arm into the air. His voice booms throughout the arena as he yells out. "Let the battle begin! HOOAH!" (Droga gets first action, then you will be going. Make each turn one post. If theres any questions or disagreements, I'll see what I can do for you)
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 12:30 AM	well done Orcy. The Half-Elves unfurl their banners - blue and Silver - and embossed with Mithril Runes. In the centre of the beautifully wrought fabric, you see the symbol of the Ellaedun - the Lantern of Elvendom, flashes in the night skies as the moon beams and starlight reflects off the mithril tree branches. Silmarien stands - and hurls a SHOUT into the aether Where we tread and there is but one of us - we shall PREVAIL. DYNE! Lord Dyne for the People!" there is a roar from the colloseum as the legions of Good cheer Dyne on. Is someone going to be cheer leaders for The Evil Ones? stav
Demonfey 11-14-04, 12:31 AM	I'm staying quiet, personally.
Droga 11-14-04, 12:34 AM	Whoop, thought of a question. Your aligmnet is good right Dyne?
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:36 AM	Whoop, thought of a question. Your aligmnet is good right Dyne? Yes. Go ahead and use your Protection from Good.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 12:41 AM	A stench rises from the pavillion - where the black polished stone of the battlefield houses the Minions of Evil. They hoot and jeer, stomping their feet as red eyes glower out at you. All manner of hostile creature and undead is amongst them. And waves of corruption vomit from their position, as they hurl insults at Dyne "yo! Squawker! You'll be on our dinner plates 'ere one round is up" they jeer, spitting and snorting...
Droga 11-14-04, 12:42 AM	Droga rises up on his legs. Roaring as he charges the 80ft distance between himself and Dyne. He slashes at him with a mighty swipe from his claw. His massive black muscles straining as he put his power behind the attack. Droga grinned as he swung. Intending to tear Dyne apart early on in the battle. "Now you die pathetic mortal!" Results (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga#134004) note that I forgot to add the charge bonus to the attack roll. So that should be a 27.
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:45 AM	I'm down to 31 HP. (YIKES!) The Elf stumbles backward from the powerful blow. He then mutters a few words and vanishes from sight. Note to DM: I used Greater Invisibility, which lasts 10 rounds. Time left of Invisibility: 10 rounds. EDIT: Wait, Droga, why did you roll 5d6 for damage? It should have been 3d6! Reroll that, I shouldn't have taken that much damage!
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 12:46 AM	Need a roll for concentration on that one. Or were you not casting defensivley?
Sssargoth 11-14-04, 12:46 AM	A red dragon flies high in the sky, watching the conflict below.
Droga 11-14-04, 12:49 AM	Unholy damage from the claws. Thats why I asked if you were good.
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:49 AM	EDIT: Nevermind. Allright, I forgot to roll for Concentration. Rolls: 25. Should be enough. Look here (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Dyne#134005).
Demonfey 11-14-04, 12:49 AM	Crowley sits on the wall between the guilds. On the concentration check, Dyne, it is because of an AOP.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 12:51 AM	Yer uh... standing next to Droga... or did you mean to step back or something? Gotta tell Orcy these things, he cant read minds... or can he? ooooweeeeoooo Edit: alright then, Droga's turn
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:53 AM	Arrrgh! Let me redo that. Note to DM: I cast Greater Invisibility, then I move back 20 ft.
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-14-04, 12:54 AM	The High King marvled with wonder to himself "You know what...I'm never thought to ask if this was going to be a battle to the death. I mean obviously ones fighting for his life and the other to avenge his comrad but would the winner have the honor to turn his enemy over for me to give my punishment or if he will administer his own." He turned to one of his servants and said "Please go invite the Lady Sil to watch the event with me." -Frosty
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 12:55 AM	The Half-Elves boo in unison as they see Dyne take a blow and the Evil Minions hoot and jeer - cussing and hurling profanities at the Half-Elves "sooks! Snivelling do-gooders. We'll have your lands 'ere 7 sunrises
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 12:57 AM	Sil bows before the High King and takes her position beside him, accepting his invitation "Lord Frostbite" she implores "we must not let Dyne perish - is there ought we can do to prevent his death"?
king_of_evil007 11-14-04, 12:57 AM	Pre-Fight KoE strides into the majestic stadium, his cloak flapping in the wind. Glancing around for a moment, assuring himself that it is safe and he isn't walking into a fight, he speaks a single arcane word, dispelling the glamer covering his shirt. . . which turns into beautiful, intricately crafted full-plate armor, shining a cobalt blue. The symbol of the Del'Zelth, or Lords of the Chained Axe, is inscribed on the front plate of the armor, a shining gold emblem detailing chains. His hat vanishes almost completely, turning into a small hairpin embedded in his hair. Which is no longer white (as a part of his drow disguise used in the Underdark), is is a deep auburn colour. His skin reverts to it's normal colour, and he seems no longer a drow, nor an elf of any kind. Even his cloak changes, from being a generic black cloak to a shimmering cloak of red and blue. He seems completely different, and even seems to carry himself differently, walking with much more purposeful strides and not seeming as. . . evil. He reaches behind his cloak and draws a shimmering axe, made out of a silvery material. A chain, embedded deep into the hilt, suddenly moves and slides into KoE's right hand, apparently causing no discomfort whatsoever. He walks, swinging his axe over his head like a flail with an absurdly long chain, before the chain itself retracts into his hand, drawing his axe towards him. He grabs it, examining it briefly before replacing it on his back, but this time, it is strapped outside his cloak. "It has been far too long," he says, his voice carrying along the wind all over the stadium, "since my axe has seen the light of day." He turns to the Green Wonder, and drops to his knees for a few moments, bowing his head respectfully in awe of the great Orcy. After a few moments, he stands and vanishes with a flash of light, appearing next to the flag of the Amazing Creators. As the fight is beginning He walks over to join Sil, and begins cheering for Dyne as well, and all that is good in the world. "Beat him down!. KoE seems pulsating with energy. It wouldn't be hard to imagine him rushing into the arena and getting into the fight himself, but he holds himself back. Edit As Sil moves away to join Frostbite, KoE remains to cheer for Dyne, knowing it is not his place to be before the King without explicit orders.
Demonfey 11-14-04, 12:57 AM	{Crowley casts Rary's telepathic bond to communicate with Frostbite and Sil} @Frostbite: Can do, sir. @Silmarien: The High King requests you to sit with him and watch, Lady Silmarien. @Frostbite: Anything else? Damn, people posted while I posted this.
Droga 11-14-04, 12:57 AM	Droga growled as he looked around the arena. The coward had fled. Droga leapt into the air, using his wings to carry him to a shadow, where he dove into it, disappearing from view. He watched outside for any sign of the dirty creature. Before he disappeared into the shadows droga roared out. "COWARD! Fight with honor and accept your death!"
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:00 AM	i want to see droga die. edit: i face winner! loser faces my cohort and 2 followers.
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-14-04, 01:01 AM	"Sadly No. If Dyne looses he shall die a brave but bloody death. However will your Dyne kill droga? For some reason my magic is stoped by a greater power when trying to look into the future of dyne. I can see whats in Drogas heart but not Dynes. What do you think will come of this battle?" -Frosty
Dyne 11-14-04, 01:03 AM	"Come out of the shadows and find me, vermin!" Note to DM: I cast True Strike and move toward the shadow where Droga disappeared. Time Left of Invisibility: 9 rounds.
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:03 AM	@Frostbite: If Dyne wins, and yet spares Droga's life, then it is up to you to decide if he lives or dies heart and soul.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 01:08 AM	Silmarien incants - with the deft move of a hand - her vision is altered so that she can see Lord Dyne! - moving towards the Shadows... She Incants again - a Sending Dyne! Braveheart! Ward and take care - we are with you. A dark figure in a black cloak rises - he is clothed in Shadows - and his eyes glow in the Darkness. An aura of cold and felness surrounds him. He flies over to Droga and says You've made yourself known to us today - and your demonic might is well noted. We shall come after you that you may aid us whence this is done.
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:09 AM	*places a pile of gold on the table in front of frosty* i'm going, and sorry about this dyne, with droga.
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:11 AM	{The fiend that just flew over is suddenly sucked into a gemstone, being held by Crowley, who, after enhancing his voice to be heard over everyone else, says} No members of the crowd are allowed to enter the field. He will be released after the fight.
Droga 11-14-04, 01:11 AM	Droga grinned, it was just a matter of time now. He slipped through the shadows moving quietly. Heading along the wall of the arena. He would wait it out, he knew he could. All he needed now was to strike Dyne a few more times, the frail mortal would stand no chance against his might. Moving away from the shadow I entered through the shadows along one of the walls.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 01:13 AM	Orcy looks over at sil as she casts her sending spell. He shakes his head. "Sendings are not allowed here Sil. Do not do it again or Orcy will be forced to remove you from the arena. We cannot have any cheating you understand."
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:16 AM	@Sil, Frostbite, and now Orcy, via telepathic bond spell: I will take care of keeping those in the crowd from interfering.
Dyne 11-14-04, 01:18 AM	Droga grinned, it was just a matter of time now. He slipped through the shadows moving quietly. Heading along the wall of the arena. He would wait it out, he knew he could. All he needed now was to strike Dyne a few more times, the frail mortal would stand no chance against his might. Moving away from the shadow I entered through the shadows along one of the walls. Hey, you can't see me! How could you tell I was coming for you? Call me a meta-gamer, do you.... Note to DM: If I'm close enough to the shadow where Droga WAS, I take a full attack. My rolls: 51, 30, 26, 23. My first attack WOULD have hit, and it WOULD have done damage: 10.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 01:18 AM	Orcy again shakes his head. "There is no need for that. Orcy can handle it, he is here for that, and other purposes after all."
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:19 AM	Orcy again shakes his head. "There is no need for that. Orcy can handle it, he is here for that, and other purposes after all." But it makes me feel useful :(
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 01:20 AM	Sil glowers at Orcy - before grinning - and she hollers - only direct aid is against the rules - mental or verbal cries of encouragement are OK "Dyne - Dyne!!" she cheers as she jumps up in her chair
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:21 AM	So did Dyne hit or not? Did that all count?
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 01:23 AM	But it makes me feel useful :( Orcy commands these halls - but "ORCY" Sil calls "he seeks to aid you - his wisdom has shown restraint and he has been fair - he does no harm". Sil implores.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 01:25 AM	There was nothing there to hit, so he didnt hit... "Then let him cheer. He may watch over if he wishes, but he will do nothing to disrupt this battle. Or he will deal with me."
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:26 AM	{I teleport over to Orcy.} I guess you want the gem with the interloper, then. {Crowley hands the gem over}
Droga 11-14-04, 01:27 AM	Droga isnt stupid, you really think he would stay in one place while there was an invisible opponent out there? Why did you move after using invisibility? How did you know I would attack you? Droga re-appears from the shadows. Looking around trying to see if there is any way he could see his enemy. But wait, the little swine was invisible, but he was not silent. Droga grinned. Pausing to listen for his enemy, where he could attack when he made a sound. Listen Check (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga#134012) to hear Dyne moving. Readying a spell to use if I do hear him.
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:28 AM	good. they have decided to use strategy.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 01:31 AM	There was nothing there to hit, so he didnt hit... "Then let him cheer. He may watch over if he wishes, but he will do nothing to disrupt this battle. Or he will deal with me." "As is your Will Lord Orcy" - Sil returns - "Demonfey! The Battle's Referee standards lie with Lord Orcy. Only your actions that disrupt the battle are not permitted. Your actions that prevent misconduct are yours to choose!" The Dark Minions shout and glower - those who can see Invisible call "show yourself vermin. Elven scum!
Dyne 11-14-04, 01:32 AM	"This is pointless." I end the Invisibility (I guess as a free action) and wait for Droga to appear. "Come and get me." The Elf's form suddenly becomes extremely blurry, and he seems to be in multiple places at once, and yet in one place. Note to DM: I end the Invisibility but cast Still Displacement (50% miss chance).
Demonfey 11-14-04, 01:33 AM	Yes! @Sil: I just thought that you might like to know that the clone I made for Dyne is ready, in case things go badly. {I teleport back to where I was.}
Dyne 11-14-04, 01:35 AM	Yes! @Sil: I just thought that you might like to know that the clone I made for Dyne is ready, in case things go badly. Clone? It looks like I may need it. :P Well, I'm getting kicked off my computer. We'll have to do this another time, and we can rethink our strategies.
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:43 AM	you could surrender..... oh, and i placed 100 gp in bets that droga would win. :P
Droga 11-14-04, 01:43 AM	Well, I can obviously hear him yelling. So I'll take my readied attack then. Just say it doesnt count if its wrong. I'll post my next actions after this one. Droga grins, launching a spell forth from his hand as he hears the elf (and in this case sees him). Launching a lightning bolt at him using his shadow evocation spell like ability. Droga grins, this should teach that little whelp. DC 22 save (will to disbelieve and reflex for half I believe) damage (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga#134013)
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:44 AM	man, i want to send an arrow flying so bad......
Droga 11-14-04, 01:47 AM	Hope he didnt already leave, I wanna get the result of his save. Because if it failed, he uh... wont live through this.
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:48 AM	and then i get my turn....
king_of_evil007 11-14-04, 01:50 AM	I want to toss my axe. . . I guess Bardic Music [Inspire Courage] is direct support, while indirect at the same time? Drats.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-14-04, 01:50 AM	Not unless you want to deal with Orcy turalisj
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:51 AM	:eek: nonono, but i get to fight droga next when dyne fails. my longsword of flaming burst will do some great damage....
Droga 11-14-04, 01:58 AM	Ok, now hes really gone. So I guess I'll have to finish him tomorrow. ;)
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 02:00 AM	Sil rises and incants - bows to Orcy - and casts Rary's Telepathic Bond - and includes Orcy and Droga in it. She says "Droga! I will not forget this moment! If Dyne falls - you shall know my merciless wrath" She sees Turalisj rise in bravery and her eyes are alive with passion. "Turalisj - Dyne yet stands - we shall not lose him!"
Demonfey 11-14-04, 02:02 AM	RTB I'll make sure his soul is protected until it gets into the clone, if necessary.
turalisj 11-14-04, 02:03 AM	i doubt he'll last for much longer anyways. hey demonfey, wanna go against each other?
Bait the Bard 11-14-04, 02:34 AM	I am setting this up as a way to ern money, so I will keep track. Odds work like this; you place 20g on a 3 : 1 bet. If your guy wins, you get 3 times the amount the amount of money you betted. If you lose, I keep the money you betted. ;) - The Betting Booth - Money made: 0gp The ever present entrepreneur, Delwyn, had arrived on the scence of the duels, and quickly set up his stall, made of polished wood, with stone corners, to keep it stable. Painted red stips rimmed it, alongside large pasty white canvas to the side, showing the days bets for the keen gambler. Two hired mercenaries guarded the stall, to the sides, incase a gambler got to angry at the amount of money he lost. The stall was now open, with Delwyn behind the counter, eager to begin the bussiness day, and with a more subtle purpose, to find out who was here, and their bussiness.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-14-04, 02:44 AM	i doubt he'll last for much longer anyways. hey demonfey, wanna go against each other? Sil is grim but resolved "...Lord Dyne shall prevail." she promised "If not today - on another occasion. "her face is focussed into a concentrated mein, as she studies the battlefield. "It may be that he dodges Droga's lightnings - and launches a counter-volley. In any case, his soul is guaranteed passage to a new body - where we will train him to new skills and focussed power. Fear not! This has only just begun......" We need to ask Orcy how he'd like to cue up the combatants - and let's have a look at how to score the outcome on the Metathread! Well done everyone! And remember - a battle lost is a promise made and the future is *yours* to weave here. That was a lot of fun. Thank you to Orcy for his fine GMing thus far. Thank you to Demonfey - whose embellishments were *cool*. I liked your style! And, let's talk to Orcy about what you can do from the sidelines. Perhaps, Demonfey, you could be some kind of 'referee' - bound by the terms of the thread. Orcy has explained to me that he will structure some :cool: guidelines for non-combatants to be involved. See you at Metathread - or here when the battle continues. And thank you to all - for a fun day! :bow: stav Let the Light of the Hold Ellaedun Guide you through Darkness. For the Elf King lives on in the Ellaedun - and he will call you to his Aid when the time is night. The dark hordes cheer and hoot - their fell cries ring out in the night, as all manner of fell spirit glower in the darkness EDIT: Bait!!!! :cool: Thanx for the post at the Guild of Mythals - I'm onto it. Look to the thread - suddenly.
Demonfey 11-14-04, 10:50 AM	As long as I fight him next.
Dyne 11-14-04, 11:06 AM	"No clone will ever take my place. I WILL prevail against the forces of darkness; Droga will not get the better of me. But, this fight must be fought another day. Let us rest up and prepare for the coming battle, Droga, so that we may be better prepared for each other's tricks." I'm here for a quick post. We'll have to fight tomorrow, I think, at GMT 11:00 pm (23:00) (NOTE: This time is subject to change. If the time is difficult for anyone, let me know) Until then, let's prepare to start up again, next time with spells and such to counter each other's abilities. Still, I want no help to be given to either myself or Droga: this is a battle between individuals, not guilds, and we should be left to our own devices ONLY.
turalisj 11-14-04, 11:24 AM	so, demonfey, would you like to see who is the better? loser washes dishes at the blue lizard inn for a year. :D
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:21 PM	I did ready an action for Dimension Door, so could I use it against the Shadow Lightning Bolt? I suppose I should be able to. The Shadow Lightning Bolt streaks toward Dyne. You can see it in his eyes that he knows he can't withstand it. His eyes widen as the bolt streaks closer, obviously not realizing it to be an illusion. His Displacement spell adds to the randomness: Will the Bolt hit, or will it miss because of the Displacement? The Bolt streaks ever closer, and it seems about to hit dead on, when right at the moment of impact, Dyne vanishes in an instant. Was he disintegrated by the spell? What happened to him? These questions are answered when the crowd sees Dyne a short distance away from where the Bolt struck. He is covered in sweat and blood, with barely any fight left in him. His two swords rest in sheaths on his back, and he prepares to cast a spell at Droga, muttering some arcane words with the intent of utterly destroying to vile creature. But, just before he finishes the casting, he stops and straightens himself up. "I'm sorry Droga, but I can't continue the battle. Some things have come up, and I must attend to immediate family members. We shall finish this another day, when we are better prepared for the conflict." With that, Dyne walks out of the Arena through the pit entrance. The crowd looks bewildered, and doesn't know what to make of it. "Coward!" the members of the Guild of Evil call out. "Stay and fight, coward!" But Dyne continues to walk, taking no notice of their taunts. "Ladies and Gentlemen (and other creatures), this fight has been temporarily delayed. It will continue tomorrow. Until then, enjoy yourselves with other fights that may take place here during the wait." The crowd mumbles in disagreement as they shuffle from their seats to the exits of the stadium. It was most disappointing to see a fight cut short. Once again, the fight between Dyne and Droga will commence some time tomorrow. Until then, feel free to challenge each other to battles. Droga, prepare yourself for our next confrontation. Look through your spell lists and choices of equipment, and bring anything your character has the money to buy. But, I don't want any help from members of the guilds.
turalisj 11-14-04, 12:27 PM	boooooo! i wanted to see someone die! *looks over at the guild of evil* of guess one of you will do.... can you atleast give me an npc to fight?
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:32 PM	boooooo! i wanted to see someone die! *looks over at the guild of evil* of guess one of you will do.... can you atleast give me an npc to fight? Fight your own NPC. You have an NPC generator.
turalisj 11-14-04, 12:38 PM	then i would need to find someone willing to play the npc.
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:38 PM	A stench rises from the pavillion - where the black polished stone of the battlefield houses the Minions of Evil. They hoot and jeer, stomping their feet as red eyes glower out at you. All manner of hostile creature and undead is amongst them. And waves of corruption vomit from their position, as they hurl insults at Dyne "yo! Squawker! You'll be on our dinner plates 'ere one round is up" they jeer, spitting and snorting... The Half-Elves boo in unison as they see Dyne take a blow and the Evil Minions hoot and jeer - cussing and hurling profanities at the Half-Elves "sooks! Snivelling do-gooders. We'll have your lands 'ere 7 sunrises You have an interesting way of insulting people, Sil.
Droga 11-14-04, 12:43 PM	Walking out of the arena in the middle of a fight without ruling from the guy watching over it? Sounds like giving up to me...
turalisj 11-14-04, 12:44 PM	send a goblin here, or better yet, where is anglar? i need some drow meat :P
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:47 PM	Walking out of the arena in the middle of a fight without ruling from the guy watching over it? Sounds like giving up to me... I'm not giving up. I couldn't continue the battle yesterday. And I don't have the time today to pick it up again. It's gonna be a bit before we can fight again, might as well use the time to prepare for it to make the fight more interesting. Besides, it's awkward for us both to be wandering around, trying to find each other because we're both invisible to one another, but have no spell or anything to detect the other.
turalisj 11-14-04, 12:50 PM	im sure sil or orcy could have had something... like there being dust of revealing on the ground and when you charge or something like that the dust gets kicked up and goes into effect.
Droga 11-14-04, 12:54 PM	Personally, I don't really like it. I think its just you realizing... crap, that wont work. Lets start that over and see if I can do better with another strategy. To me, thats like saving, getting whooped, then loading to start again. That kind of save doesnt exist in D&D, I dont see why it should in the arena. But I guess theres no other choice, since it looks like a lot of other people want to use the arena, so we shouldnt take up time with it just sitting here.
Dyne 11-14-04, 12:58 PM	Personally, I don't really like it. I think its just you realizing... crap, that wont work. Lets start that over and see if I can do better with another strategy. To me, thats like saving, getting whooped, then loading to start again. That kind of save doesnt exist in D&D, I dont see why it should in the arena. But I guess theres no other choice, since it looks like a lot of other people want to use the arena, so we shouldnt take up time with it just sitting here. It's more like: "I cast Greater Invisibility!" "I use my Shadow Meld ability." "Crap, where are you?!" "I don't know, where are you?" The combatants wander around for 10 rounds. "My Invisibility is wearing off, but, luckily I have another one." *Casts Greater Invisibility again* The combatants then wander around the arena, trying to find each other, for another 10 rounds.
Droga 11-14-04, 01:02 PM	Actually, if you didn't notice (which you didnt) I was out of the shadows listening for you. With a 36 listen check, its kinda hard to miss someone walking around. I'm also fairly sure you didnt ready to cast dimension door since you had already cast a spell. So by all means you should probably be eh... toast.
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:26 PM	so i get to fight droga? yay!
Droga 11-14-04, 01:32 PM	Droga wont be fighting again till the next battle with Dyne. I have a few things to do today myself. So I guess you can pick someone else to fight against when theres a judge/gm on.
turalisj 11-14-04, 01:37 PM	greeaattt... hey! you! *points at a goblin* ya you! lets fight! *a few minutes later the goblin is frozen and burned to death* that was fun.
thasis 11-14-04, 02:43 PM	Thasis the Evil walks into areana stands. "It seems that you have started the battle without me". He then goes up to Silmarien the Good "I think Droga is going to win and I will wager 500gp on him if you will except the bet".
Dyne 11-14-04, 04:20 PM	Actually, if you didn't notice (which you didnt) I was out of the shadows listening for you. With a 36 listen check, its kinda hard to miss someone walking around. I'm also fairly sure you didnt ready to cast dimension door since you had already cast a spell. So by all means you should probably be eh... toast. No, I didn't notice you come out of the shadows. And succeeding on a Listen check versus someone else's Move Silently check let's you hear them, but not pinpoint their location. I think it's written somewhere that if you beat the check by 20 or more, than you can pinpoint their location. I can't seem to find it, though, I think it's under Blindfight or Invisibility rules. I could have sworn I readied Dimension Door. But, it looks like I cast Displacement instead. Whoops! Anyway, there was a 50/50 chance for it to miss. Nevertheless, you can use the time to come up with more horrible things to do to me. Thasis the Evil walks into areana stands. "It seems that you have started the battle without me". He then goes up to Silmarien the Good "I think Droga is going to win and I will wager 500gp on him if you will except the bet". Give your bets to Delwyn (Bait the Bard). He's the one running the gambling joint.
Demonfey 11-14-04, 05:17 PM	{Crowley releases the interloper from the gem} Don't enter the ring in the middle of a fight. {He turns to the people ready to fight.} I'm ready for a good fight. Any takers?
turalisj 11-14-04, 07:03 PM	ya, me.
Demonfey 11-14-04, 08:08 PM	Bronze dragon, right?
thasis 11-14-04, 09:12 PM	Thasis walks up to Bait. "Hello sir. I would like to place a bet on Droga for 500gp"
Dyne 11-14-04, 09:28 PM	Thasis walks up to Bait. "Hello sir. I would like to place a bet on Droga for 500gp" More money for me when I win. ;)
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-14-04, 09:40 PM	The High King sends a servent to Del "My Master, The High King, Would like to place a bet on Dyne." who put down a large pouch "1000 Gold on Dyne...can you handle such amounts?" -Frosty
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 03:03 AM	Orcy has added a set of rules to the first topic of this thread. He will expand upon them further later on. He will also be adding in a part about the throne of the judge, what powers it gives and so on. Orcy cannot say he is pleased with the battle being stopped like this. But it has given him a bit of time to work on the rules. So he will say that it is alright this once. Otherwise battles will stay until one player is defeated. If one exits the arena in the middle of a battle, they will forefeit. If it is a battle to the death, well... Orcy doesn't think he has to go into that one. So be very careful on what battles you agree to fight.
Bait the Bard 11-15-04, 03:17 AM	Thasis, it's me that takes the bets ;) "Why certainly, I can handle any amounts of money. The bet has been placed. Please tell the High King he is welcome here any time." Then Delwyn turned back to his other customer, betting a smaller amount, so not as important as the High King's servent, but equally a possible customer. And sll customers were good, as they all brought money with them. The battle tomorrow promissed to bring in more eager gamblers, and also promsied an enjoyable veiwing experience. "Of couse sir, it will be done at once. If you would hand your gold over.."
turalisj 11-15-04, 06:46 AM	*tallies the bets* so far its: dyne: 1000 gp - 1 bet drog: 600 gp - 2 bets
Dyne 11-15-04, 05:30 PM	Just a Reminder: The Battle Between Dyne and Droga will commence in 30 minutes.
Dyne 11-15-04, 05:45 PM	Reminder: The Battle Between Dyne and Droga will commence in 15 minutes. (if Droga shows up soon)
Dyne 11-15-04, 06:09 PM	"It's past time to fight, Droga. Show yourself!"
turalisj 11-15-04, 06:11 PM	if droga is a no show then dyne will face a random outsider evil monster.
thasis 11-15-04, 06:13 PM	I thought that the time he was supposed to show up at was 11:00 PM. It's only 3:13 were I live.
Solmund 11-15-04, 06:14 PM	its 5:14 here
thasis 11-15-04, 06:20 PM	Whatever. We're supposed to do this battle at 11:00 and the boards say it 5:14 so quite your whining. The battle isn't for another 5 and a half hours.
Dyne 11-15-04, 06:23 PM	I thought that the time he was supposed to show up at was 11:00 PM. It's only 3:13 were I live. It's different times for different people in different parts of the world. That's why I said GMT time. 11:00 pm GMT is 4:00 pm for me because my time is GMT -7. The clock at the bottom of the screen tells what time it is for a particular time zone. In your options, you set your particular time zone so that the clock will show the correct time for you. [sigh] It looks like people were confused on the time. It is now GMT 11:20 pm, 20 minutes after the fight was supposed to start.
Droga 11-15-04, 07:08 PM	I was a bit busy with this thing called classes. The thing about college is they have those nasty little classes.
Dyne 11-15-04, 07:12 PM	I was a bit busy with this thing called classes. The thing about college is they have those nasty little classes. I asked if the anyone had a problem with the time. You could have told me about your classes, and I would have rescheduled it. Where is everyone? I told everyone about the time, and no one objected to it, so they should be here. Droga, it looks like Orcy isn't here. What then? EDIT: Orcy's on-line. Ready to fight?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 07:12 PM	Don't let your eyes fool you Dyne, Orcy has been watching. Just wasnt logged in.
Droga 11-15-04, 07:15 PM	I guess that works then. Ready whenever you are Orcy and Dyne.
Dyne 11-15-04, 07:17 PM	I can't get the dice roller to work. Something about "The document contains no data." I hope it hasn't been deleted.
Droga 11-15-04, 07:21 PM	Seems to be working fine for me.
Dyne 11-15-04, 07:24 PM	Nevermind, I got it working. Must have been some glitch or something (stupid malfundtional browser...) Allright, let's use different usernames so that we don't get our numbers confused with the ones for the last round. I'll be Dyne1 and I guess you can be Droga1 or something. Rolls for Initiative: 18.
Droga 11-15-04, 07:25 PM	Initiative= (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga1#134211)13 Guess that means you go first, but can you link it, just to be sure.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 07:28 PM	Yes Orcy would like a link as well. He would also like to remind you that there are now some rules listed on the first post if you havent checked them. Dyne goes first.
Dyne 11-15-04, 07:28 PM	Do we have to use links for a die rolls? You can search for all results for a particular user. Orcy could monitor our die rolls and make sure we don't cheat. In any case, here's (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/addtodatabase.asp) my roll for initiative.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 07:30 PM	Alright, Orcy supposes that works. Orcy raises his left arm into the air once more. Shouting out across the stadium. "LET IT BEGIN! HOOAH!" You may start when ready Dyne (And orcy will be needing both of your spell lists)
Dyne 11-15-04, 07:34 PM	Yes Orcy would like a link as well. He would also like to remind you that there are now some rules listed on the first post if you havent checked them. Dyne goes first. Allright, I'll post links. I checked through the rules. The Elf raises his hands in the direction of the vile beast called Droga. With an incantation, giant tentacles sprout from the ground and entangle around Droga. Tentacle Grab: 22 (found here (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/addtodatabase.asp)) Tentacle Hold (Grapple check): 22 (found here (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/addtodatabase.asp)) Droga, make an opposed Grapple check versus 22. Note to DM: I cast Black Tentacles, which wrap around Droga and attempt to Grapple with him. By-the-way, how far apart are we?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 07:35 PM	Same as last time, 80ft.
Dyne 11-15-04, 07:38 PM	All right, I also use my Move Action to move back 20 ft. (distance: 100 ft.) EDIT: Also, Orcy, how big is the stadium? And what is its general shape?
Droga 11-15-04, 07:44 PM	Droga shakes off the annoying tentacles. Moving a good 20ft away and out of their range. He roars, pointing at Dyne and chanting a few words. Setting a divine spell upon Dyne. "Pathetic attempt! Now feel my power little swine!" Opposed Roll (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga1#134219) (Tie goes to whoever has the higher grapple mod) Droga Moves 20ft (half speed) out of the tentacles. Then Droga is casting Silence on Dyne. Will save DC 20.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 07:46 PM	The stadium is about 200ft long and about half as wide., it is an Oval shape.
Dyne 11-15-04, 07:50 PM	Will save: 21. You can see Droga's spell head straight for Dyne, and it ALMOST takes hold, but 'lo, he shakes it off. You see sweat drip from his face. The Elf must have used all his energy to deflect that attack. Dyne straightens himself and becomes focused once more, and as he chants one more spell, his form becomes blurry and undefinite. Note to DM: I cast Displacement, granting me a 50% miss chance for any attack against me. I then move back another 20 ft. (Droga, did you move toward me, and if so how much?).
Solmund 11-15-04, 07:52 PM	this should be interesting. i bet 12k on dyne. :cool:
Droga 11-15-04, 08:01 PM	Droga flaps his wings, flying toward Dyne a good 60ft. From there he clenches a fist, directing his palm toward Dyne he fires a shadow fireball. He growls at the little swine for resisting his attack, but grins as the fireball streaks toward him. Shadow Fireball (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga1#134231) Which I don't believe you benefit from your displacement on. Considering it takes up the entire area you could possibly be displaced to. DC: 22 Will and reflex We are now 40ft apart, roughly. Since Droga is in the air about 20ft up. (I had moved 20ft toward you, so we were 80ft apart before you moved back)
Solmund 11-15-04, 08:04 PM	*wonders if he can hit droga with a delayed fireball from the front row of the stadium* hmmmm....
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 08:05 PM	Orcy looks over to Solmund with a look that says "dont even try it." Then turns his attention back to the battle.
Dyne 11-15-04, 08:10 PM	Will Saving Throw: 20 Reflex Saving Throw: 13 Dyne sees the Fireball headed for him, but can do nothing to stop it. Neither does he realize it isn't real. Do your worst, Droga.
Droga 11-15-04, 08:12 PM	Droga's fireball explodes around Dyne, sending flames out in all directions. The same flames licking at Dyne's body as he fails to avoid it. Droga smiles as his attack takes effect. "Burn little swine, burn!" 31 damage total from the fireball (link was in the last post) So I guess its your turn Dyne.
Solmund 11-15-04, 08:16 PM	:eek: is it too late to change my bet?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 08:18 PM	The bets are in character, so if your character doesnt have that much money to bet, then you shouldnt bet it... If he does, you'd better hope Dyne thinks something up.
Dyne 11-15-04, 08:18 PM	I'm at 33 HP. By-the-way, there are 9 rounds left of Displacement. Dyne staggers as the flames explode around him. But, he stands up and begins chanting another spell. In a moment, he vanishes into a thing air, leaving no trace. Note to DM: I cast Greater Invisibility and move 20 ft. back. EDIT: Droga, you don't need to post the links. It just takes up time. We can see your rolls anyway just by searching for your username (Droga1).
thasis 11-15-04, 08:19 PM	@Dyne How much HP do you have left? @ Droga The minions of evil cheer on Droga. "Hit that little ****er Droga. Hit him good."
Solmund 11-15-04, 08:23 PM	@Dyne How much HP do you have left? @ Droga The minions of evil cheer on Droga. "Hit that little ****er Droga. Hit him good." @the minions of evil: a volley of arrows fly from the bows of the defenders of good, sending many feindish corpses onto the stadium floor you asked for it
thasis 11-15-04, 08:25 PM	A giant fireball comes down and sends many charred and burnt corpses of the followers of good In your face. LOL :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 08:27 PM	The volley of arrows and fireball are both stopped suddenly, disappearing into thin air. Orcy glares at the two who are exchanging attacks and speaks. "If you do that again, Orcy will personally rip your arms off and beat you with them. GOT IT?"
Droga 11-15-04, 08:28 PM	Droga growls. Swooping down to the position Dyne was at, he casts a spell upon himself. Growling once more when the spell is completed. "Coward, do you see your great hero. He runs and hides because he knows he cannot defeat me!" Droga moves to where Dyne was, then casts protection from good on himself. Then taunts the half-elves in the stands a bit.
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-15-04, 08:29 PM	The High King looks over at the fighting amonst the crowd. "Orcy my friend" the king says through magic "Do you wish me to take care of this before a riot breaks out?" With that the High King casts a powerfull spell of mass emotion: Happy over the crowd. -Frosty
Solmund 11-15-04, 08:30 PM	:eek: :weep: :mad: the remaining defenders of good launch volley after volley of arrows. a strom giant sprouts out of no where and hurls a large boulder a the minions of darkness. while this is going on those that have taken to the neutral part of the guild wars plan a way to put an end to the guild wars.( a DC20 spot check will reveal a doppganger in thier midst, undiguised) take that.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 08:35 PM	Alright, Solmund. As far as Orcy knows, you arent in any of the guilds you claim to be representing right now. Even if you are... you are disrupting Orcy's arena. Orcy appears before Solmund. Grabbing him by the neck with his large metallic left arm. He lifts him up above his head and hurls him against a wall. "You, will stop this nonsense at once, or Orcy will have to rid this world of fools who cannot follow rules such as yourself" Once again, any arrows and such fired disappear into nothingness.
Dyne 11-15-04, 08:37 PM	the remaining defenders of good launch volley after volley of arrows. a strom giant sprouts out of no where and hurls a large boulder a the minions of darkness. while this is going on those that have taken to the neutral part of the guild wars plan a way to put an end to the guild wars.( a DC20 spot check will reveal a doppganger in thier midst, undiguised) take that. Solmund, cut it out. This is not a place for warfare. This deathmatch was organized to prevent a war from happening. 20 ft. in front of Droga, an arrow of acid materializes and speeds toward him. It hits him dead-on, burning through his armor and causing dreadful pain. Note to DM: I cast Acid Arrow (Melf's Acid Arrow) Touch Attack: 23 Damage: 5 The arrow will deal damage for an additional 3 rounds. EDIT: I then move to my left 20 ft. Displacement: 8 rounds left. Invisibility: 9 rounds left. Acid Arrow: 3 rounds left. P.S. I had to switch to a different browser. Mine was having problems. Sorry for any wait.
Solmund 11-15-04, 08:42 PM	*casts greater teleportation to get himself out of the great big green orcs grip* okay, okay. i'll just watch.
Dyne 11-15-04, 08:47 PM	Oops, almost forgot. I also used my Move Action to move to the left 20 ft.
Droga 11-15-04, 08:47 PM	Droga hisses as the acidic arrow manages to move right through his thick skin. He roars at the pain, though it is nothing he hasnt felt before. He lunges foreward, going directly to the area the arrow appeared from. Slashing at the air infront of him with one of his mighty claws. Attack Roll (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga1#134243) Droga attacks moves toward where the arrow came from and takes a swing at the spot it appeared. If Droga misses because of the concealment, reroll miss chance because of blindsight (I'll let you roll it, but I want high to hit). If you dont see the blindsight feat, thats because its granted by the darkness domain. Edit: Wait wait wait... he cant do that. I was already responding when he posted a move...
Dyne 11-15-04, 08:50 PM	Edit: Wait wait wait... he cant do that. I was already responding when he posted a move... I'm not stupid enough to stand in one spot. I was already going to step away, I just forgot to type it in because I was having to keep track of several things at once.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 08:54 PM	Unfortunately, Orcy would have to agree with Droga on this one. You need to declare what you are doing, just like in a normal game. If you were to attack, then 10 minutes later when Orcy was bringing the monsters to attack, he would tell you too bad. What would you say soverign?
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-15-04, 08:59 PM	Well...this is a duel. A game and a contest. Were not roleplaying right here where we could easily slip in somthing or take somthing out. This is your arena Orcy but I would rule that if he didn't say it, it doesn't count. Sorry Dyne. You know i'm routing for you though. -Frosty
Dyne 11-15-04, 09:00 PM	That's allright, Frostbite. It's what I get for having to try to keep track of several things at once, I suppose (including several threads and multiple spell effects going on at once).
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 09:01 PM	Alright, since we are in agreement. Orcy is going to have to say you didn't move because you didnt declare it in your post. If you had said something earlier, Orcy would have probably let it slide. But as it was posted about the same time as Droga attacked. Orcy is sorry, but you are still at the same location. So you'll need to respond to Droga's attack.
Dyne 11-15-04, 09:04 PM	First Miss Chance Roll: 3 (miss) Miss Chance Reroll: 41 (still miss) Didn't really matter, it missed anyway. Droga charges toward the spot where the acid arrow materializes, and he seems to be able to see exactly where Dyne is standing, but his claws swipe through nothing but air, meeting no resistance. Note to DM: I drink an Elixir of Sneaking while moving away from Droga (to my left).
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 09:06 PM	Roll damage on that acid arrow of yours and is that the end of your turn?
Solmund 11-15-04, 09:07 PM	can i still make a spot check, even though im far away snd am not in this fight, to try and see where dyne is?
Dyne 11-15-04, 09:10 PM	Roll damage on that acid arrow of yours and is that the end of your turn? Whoops, forgot. See what I mean? I am a guy, afterall, I'm not made for multi-tasking. Rolls damage for Acid Arrow: 3 Acid Arrow: 2 rounds left. Displacement: 7 rounds left. Invisibility: 8 rounds left. Well, since drinking a potion is a Standard Action and moving 20 ft. is a Move Action, I guess it's the end of my turn.
Solmund 11-15-04, 09:17 PM	Whoops, forgot. See what I mean? I am a guy, afterall, I'm not made for multi-tasking. Rolls damage for Acid Arrow: 3 Acid Arrow: 2 rounds left. Displacement: 7 rounds left. Invisibility: 8 rounds left. Well, since drinking a potion is a Standard Action and moving 20 ft. is a Move Action, I guess it's the end of my turn. i know what you mean.
Droga 11-15-04, 09:17 PM	Once again, Droga launches himself into the air. From there he casts another spell upon himself. Growling and roaring (speaking his native language) as he does so. From up high he looks down on the battlefield with a scowl. "COME OUT AND FIGHT ME YOU COWARD!" Moving up into the air 60ft. Casting Shield of Faith. Ranting.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 09:18 PM	You can go ahead and try if you want Solmund. Though Orcy is doubtful that a level 15 character would be able to see someone who was invisible. Since level 15 is what is being used for the guild wars.
king_of_evil007 11-15-04, 09:21 PM	The man in his splendid armour stands, muttering arcane verses. His eyes flash green before returning to normal, and he watches the fight with renewed intensity. "Go Dyne!" he cheers. Striding over to Delwyn, he states his intentions. "Good sir, I intend to bet 1000 gold on Dyne. Thank you." That spell was See Invisibility. So I enjoy watching fights ;)
Dyne 11-15-04, 09:24 PM	5 spheres of force appear out of thing air and head straight for Droga. They hit dead on and pummel him. Droga also roars for the pain of the acid burning him. Note to DM: I cast Magic Missile: 16 damage. Have I cast Magic Missile before? I can't remember. I then move 20 ft. away. Acid Arrow: 4 damage. Acid Arrow: 1 round left. Displacement: 6 rounds left. Invisibility: 7 rounds left.
Dyne 11-15-04, 09:25 PM	Droga, how many HP do you have left? I have 33.
Solmund 11-15-04, 09:26 PM	i'll say he's about 200ft away, plus invisible so (checks phb) so i have to make a 60 or higher check.... gulp.
Demonfey 11-15-04, 09:39 PM	{Crowley appears next to Bait the Bard} Sorry I'm late. Are you still taking bets?
Droga 11-15-04, 09:41 PM	Droga growls, taking a bone out of a black bag at his waist. He chants a few words and the bone changes shape into a greatsword. He then lowers himself toward the ground a bit. Growling and roaring the whole way. "You truely are a coward. You mortals swine are pathetic, hiding behind your spells instead of fighting with honor." Droga casts boneblade and lowers himself to about 10ft off the ground. (Boneblade is from BoVD) (75 HP left)
Dyne 11-15-04, 09:46 PM	"Come get me, you vile beast!" You hear a voice shout. You then hear some chanting (if you have a high enough Listen). Note to DM: I cast False Life: 15 temporary HP (now at 48). I then move away, circling Droga. Acid Arrow: 7 damage. Displacement: 5 rounds left. Invisibility: 6 rounds left.
Droga 11-15-04, 09:58 PM	Droga hisses as the last of the acidic arrow dies away. He stands where he is and listens for his opponent. If he wished to attack, he would be forced to speak his arcane words. That is when Droga would attack. Droga is going to listen (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga1#134286) for Dyne. When he hears him casting, he'll attack. (readying to throw the sword)
Solmund 11-15-04, 10:04 PM	failed my spot check by 17. so now i think that dyne is somewhere in the opposite corner. *looks in that direction*
Dyne 11-15-04, 10:05 PM	Dyne begins muttering the incantation for another spell. What exactly are the rules for locating a creature by hearing? I know you can't pinpoint someone's location by meeting the regular DC. The DC is, afterall, for HEARING the sound, but not for hearing it well enough to pinpoint its location. Plus, I drank an Elixir of Sneaking, which dampens sound around the drinker. Would that affect the DC to Listen? By-the-way, he's whispering the incantation, which is a DC 15 Listen check. Note to DM: The spell is for an Acid Arrow. So, Orcy, what happens?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 10:07 PM	Orcy would say that he can tell about where you are by listening for you speaking, even if it is whispering. But thats what the 50% miss chance is for. The fact he knows about where you are, but cant exactly pinpoint it. In Orcy's opinion anyway.
Droga 11-15-04, 10:09 PM	And it would appear that the dice roller isnt workin anymore.
Dyne 11-15-04, 10:15 PM	What about the potion, it says it dampens sound. Does it have any effect? The dice roller works for me. I got: Miss Chance: 85 (not a miss)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 10:21 PM	The potion only decreases sound around the person in terms of sneaking. It is used to assist in move silently. Orcy knows thats why you had it, so Droga couldnt listen in to find you, and it would work if the spells were silenced. If this hits, you'll have to make a concentration check.
Droga 11-15-04, 10:21 PM	Alright, its back up to working again. At hearing the arcane words being said, Droga hurls the bone blade toward the speaker. Growling loudly as he does so. He was hoping this one would hit, the little whelp had been hiding for too long now. He needed to feel some pain. Rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga1#134290) Attack Roll is 25, which looking at your sheet, I dont know if it hits. Since I don't know what off hand defense is. I'm assuming its something to do with two weapon fighting, but since your not using two weapons... anyway. Damage is 16, if it hits.
Dyne 11-15-04, 10:26 PM	I am using two weapons. Hence my two Bastard Swords (+4 Holy Bastard Sword and a Sun Blade). And, I don't believe I ever said I put away my weapons. I would, of course have them out, since all my spells (at least, most of them) have no somatic components. EDIT: I need to edit my character sheet. It's supposed to be Two-Weapon Defense, and it's a feat (you can find it listed under Feats on my character sheet).
Droga 11-15-04, 10:28 PM	That doesnt answer the "does it hit" question. If it doesn't, go on with your turn.
Dyne 11-15-04, 10:30 PM	That doesnt answer the "does it hit" question. If it doesn't, go on with your turn. It wouldn't, but I was leaving Orcy to officially rule that. I assumed I could start the match with my weapons out, but it's not said anywhere.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 10:33 PM	Orcy hasnt made any rules on it yet, so you can have them out. He's going to make it a rule to start without them ready. But as he hasnt said anything, Orcy supposes you can have them out.
Dyne 11-15-04, 10:38 PM	EDIT: I just realized something. My Sun Blade emits light. Since Invisibility doesn't hide light, it would be glowing and a visible for Droga. I would have kept it in its sheath to hide its glow, so I wouldn't have gotten the Two-Weapon Defense bonus. The attack hit, I took 16 damage (32 hp left). Droga listens intently at his surroundings. Suddenly, the crowd gasps as he throws his sword at an empty appearing space, and it sticks in mid air. You can hear Dyne groan as the blade pierces his armor. The blade then falls to the ground, bloodied. Note to DM: I am hit by the sword. Concentration: 13. I lose the spell. After tossing the sword to the ground, I side-step in a circle around Droga.
Droga 11-15-04, 10:46 PM	"Is this how you want to die little swine? Hiding away from the evils of the world. Trying to do something about it from the... 'shadows'. Or will you come out and fight me with honor. If you refuse, you prove that you are a dishonorable swine to all those here. It is your choice little fool. Droga moves over to the bone sword, picking it up when he reaches it. He looks around and growls at where the elf could be hiding. He was growing tired of this little dancing act. It was a dishonorable tactic, to hide and fight your enemy from invisibility. This mortal beast truely was a coward. Droga will move to the sword and pick it up. Not much else he can do right now.
Dyne 11-15-04, 10:54 PM	Droga clearly hears Dyne's next incantation, and he briefly sees a blue glow before it is snuffed out. But, there's nothing he can do as he was picking up his sword. Note to DM: I cast True Strike and move closer to Droga. Displacement: 3 rounds. Invisibility: 4 rounds.
Solmund 11-15-04, 10:54 PM	dyne is obviusly doomed. it seems i will get a chance to return his honor to him...... its a good thing i can cast light and sucj. although i also have greater teleportation.... :cool:
Sssargoth 11-15-04, 11:02 PM	The hatchling red dragon walks up to Delwyn. "I wish to put 150,000 gold that Droga will win this battle." He immediately puts a large pouch of gold on the counter
Droga 11-15-04, 11:07 PM	Droga growled, looking about he shook his head, dropping the bone blade beside him. "Truely a coward, you see... your little hero is afraid. He refuses to come into battle. He hides still, while I am standing here, ready to do combat like an honorable combatant. Quite a coward indeed." Droga covers himself in vulnerable spots, moving into an easier defendable position. Droga is taking a full defensive action after dropping the boneblade.
Dyne 11-15-04, 11:11 PM	A volley of force missiles appear from thin air, striking Droga in his defensive stance. Note to DM: I forfeit my True Strike bonus, and cast Magic Missile. Magic Missile Damage: I can't tell. It looks like the dice roller quit on me again.
Droga 11-15-04, 11:17 PM	Give it a minute, it seems to be working for me still.
thasis 11-15-04, 11:26 PM	I'm going to put another 100,000 on Droga.
Dyne 11-15-04, 11:27 PM	Damage: 18. Displacement: 2 Invisibility: 3 Note to DM: After casting Magic Missile, I move away.
Droga 11-15-04, 11:30 PM	Droga roared loudly. Now he was completely tired of this. He lunges across the arena, plunging into a shadow along the walls of the arena. If it was a hiding match the coward wanted, then that would be what he would get. Droga only had to wait until the fools spells wore off. Where he could stay hidden as long as he wanted. Moving to a wall and using shadow meld.
Dyne 11-15-04, 11:34 PM	"It's about time you used your Shadow Meld, for I anticipated it." Note to DM: I cast Arcane Sight, which would let me see Droga's Armor, his magic Claw weapons, and all his other wonderful magical items, which gives me a pretty good outline of him. I then move away, in case he heard my incantation. Displacement: 1 Invisibility: 2
Droga 11-15-04, 11:37 PM	Ooooh... thanks. Arcane sight says that it makes your eyes glow blue. Since light isnt hidden by invisibility... doesnt that mean I can see you now?
Dyne 11-15-04, 11:40 PM	Ooooh... thanks. Arcane sight says that it makes your eyes glow blue. Since light isnt hidden by invisibility... doesnt that mean I can see you now? You can see my eyes. Come get me then.
Droga 11-15-04, 11:46 PM	Droga roars in the shadows. Moving out of them he grins. He points his finger at Dyne. A shimmering claw of force flashes out and heads right for him. Slashing at him as it comes to his glowing eyes. Moving out of the shadows then casting spiritual weapon. Attack Roll: 25 Damage: a whopping 1 (WHOOO!!!!)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-15-04, 11:48 PM	Beware the magical flick to the nose!
Dyne 11-15-04, 11:54 PM	The claw flies past where Dyne stands, but it tears off a little clothing and skin along with. The blue glow then winks out. "You just ripped one of my favorite robes! Arrrgh...." A moment later, Droga winces in pain as he feels the life sucked out of him. I think Droga is close enough, so I walk up to him and cast Vampiric Touch. Damage: 20. HP Gained: 20. Displacement: Was this the last turn? Or is next turn the last? Invisibility: 1 EDIT: I am now at 51 HP. How many do you have left, Droga? EDIT2: I know it doesn't really matter, but did you roll Miss Chance for that Attack? Or is it subject to Miss Chance?
Droga 11-16-04, 12:01 AM	Droga roars, slashing at the area he felt the touch come from. Slashing with both claws he intended to end this battle here and now. His face wore an expression of anger at the dirty little elf's attack. But he would have his revenge, he would be victorious in the end. Two attacks First: 38 Second: 23 Damage for the first: 26 (if it hits) Luckily, you only have one last round of invisibility. Edit: Hey dyne... wheres your touch attack for vampiric touch?
Dyne 11-16-04, 12:14 AM	Vampiric Touch Attack: 30. You're not that quick. Miss Chance for Spiritual Weapon (I have to): 53 (hit). Miss Chance for Melee Attack: 94 (hit). I am at 25 HP. You can hear Droga's claw tear through flesh. Droga grins in amuzement, seeing that he has done much damage to his enemy. But, he feels the same life-draining touch at his side. Vampiric Touch: 20 (I think that's still a hit). Vampiric Touch Damage: 17. HP Gained: 17. I am now at 42 HP. Again I ask, how many hit points do you have, Droga? P.S. This is my last round of invisibility, right?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-04, 12:17 AM	Looking through the posts Orcy thinks invisibility should be over, though he could have miscounted. Hes not really sure.
Dyne 11-16-04, 12:20 AM	Looking through the posts Orcy thinks invisibility should be over, though he could have miscounted. Hes not really sure. Some of the rounds took several posts to complete. I think Invisibility would have ended just as my turn ended.
Droga 11-16-04, 12:21 AM	Well either way... Droga slashes at Dyne twice. Roaring angrily that the little swine hasnt fallen yet. He swings once with each of his massive claws. Attack1: 24 Attack2: 23 I dont think either hit anyway...
Dyne 11-16-04, 12:27 AM	Attack1: 24 Attack2: 23 Miss and miss. Dyne suddenly appears, and he narrowly dodges both of Droga's attacks. In an instant, he is gone and appears at the other end of the arena. Note to DM: I cast Dimension Door and appear at the other end of the arena. I then use my Move Action to draw my Sun Blade and ready myself for battle. EDIT: Droga, YOU NEVER TOLD ME HOW MANY HP YOU HAVE! (that should get your attention)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-04, 12:28 AM	Alright.. Droga, you get an aoo for him casting a spell in melee.
Droga 11-16-04, 12:31 AM	Alright.. Droga, you get an aoo for him casting a spell in melee. Not going to argue with that. While Dyne is casting his spell, (to once again run away) Droga slashes at him with one of his claws. Growling at him while he does so. He wanted this over, he knew he was begining to weaken a bit. AOO: 37 Damage: 29
Dyne 11-16-04, 12:34 AM	Alright.. Droga, you get an aoo for him casting a spell in melee. Shoot, I forgot about that. If you'll be lenient, I would have Cast Defensively (that's why I have Combat Casting). Concentration: 18 EDIT: Stupid slow browser speed :banghead:
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-04, 12:36 AM	At this point in the game, Orcy cant be too lenient. Orcy knows you both happen to be running low on spells. You both are also running low on hit points (well.. now anyway.) So... unfortunately, your spell fails. You can do something else with your move action, or draw the weapon anyway. (since droga doesnt have combat reflexes :P)
Dyne 11-16-04, 12:40 AM	Doesn't matter, I think my Concentration check failed anyway. I use my Move Action to move away while drawing my other sword. Orcy, could you tell me how many HP Droga has? I now have... WHAT? Only 13 HP.
Droga 11-16-04, 12:44 AM	Droga moves up to Dyne. A large grin across his face. He slashes at Dyne with one of his mighty claws. Attempting to slice him in half with a mighty blow. He laughs as his claw comes down at Dyne. "Your tricks have failed you mortal swine! YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME!" Attack: 31 Damage: 31 (Whoa... thats weird) I have 13 HP
Dyne 11-16-04, 12:46 AM	All right, I'm dead. I wish someone could have at least told me how low you were on HP, though (I asked at least three times without an answer).
Droga 11-16-04, 12:51 AM	Droga roars. Raising his hands into the air as Dyne falls to the ground, dead. He places a foot on the fresh body roaring more in victory. "You see mortal swine. You can never defeat me! I am far too powerful for you simple creatures to defeat!" Droga laughs loudly. Raising one clawed fist up and grinning as he stepped off the body. Well, you really don't have to know my HP. Theres nothing in dnd that says you have to know your opponents HP. So I really didnt have to tell you. But that was a heck of a battle. Well... toward the end. In the middle with the invisibility I got pretty bored... But, good battle, as a player it was fun fighting you.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-04, 12:54 AM	Orcy raises his left hand into the air. He looks out across the gathered masses. The good with their sad faces, the evil laughing and cheering. He nods and points to Droga. "The winner of the battle is Droga, representing the Guild of Ultimate Evil. Droga, you may head back into the waiting area. Your prize will be brought to you shortly." I assume you still have the 200,000gp worth of equipment, minus of course the potion you used Dyne?
Dyne 11-16-04, 01:01 AM	But, good battle, as a player it was fun fighting you. That was awful close. I really didn't expect some of the stuff you threw at me (especially that silence spell, that would have totally messed me up). The dice also seemed to land in an interesting way (awkward patterns (such as our HP being the same at the end), barely succeeding or failing at the most critical of moments). Even though I lost, it was awful fun. Your character is HUGELY powerful. I'm surprised I lasted as long as I did. In the middle with the invisibility I got pretty bored... Sorry about that. It was one of the few advantages I had over you. Besides, I almost put in another Greater Invisibility spell on my spell list. I think the only other strength I had was being able to hit your Touch AC fairly easy. Well, you really don't have to know my HP. Theres nothing in dnd that says you have to know your opponents HP. So I really didnt have to tell you. Or maybe a little description of how weak you were getting. That would have helped somewhat, and it would be realistic. Still, if only a few parts of my strategy were tweaked, the battled could have swung the other way. I didn't realize that part about Arcane Sight making your eyes glow, but it didn't make much of a difference (only 1 HP!). Well, I'm off the create my next character. He's gonna be a clone of my old one, with a few changes from the original. I'm thinking on making him a Paladin or something instead of a Wizard. Well, I have to go now 'cause I have school in the morning. It was a pleasure facing you in combat. I assume you still have the 200,000gp worth of equipment, minus of course the potion you used Dyne? Oh crap, you're gonna give him a portion of my stuff aren't you? Oh well, that's the way things go. I have everything except that potion.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-04, 01:06 AM	Yep, the rules on the first post state that the victor recieves 1/4 of the defeated's wealth. It was a great battle guys. Orcy certainly enjoyed it. Thank you both for giving us an interesting fight, and Orcy would like to also thank you both for being such good sports Orcy supposes he should say.
Dyne 11-16-04, 01:11 AM	Take your pick, Droga. You could take one or both of my sword if you want, I'm thinking on getting a different weapon for my new character. At least, I won't need both of them. I kinda want my armor though. :bigeyes: Again, congrats on the victory. :clap:
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-04, 01:12 AM	Orcy brings a bag full of gold to the waiting room. Handing it to Droga. "Here is your reward. A fourth of your opponent's wealth. (49,937.5gp) Orcy walks out and into the arena area. Leaping up into the stands with a powerful jump. He approaches Sil. "Lady Silmarien. You're man has fallen in combat. In accordance with the rules of the arena. You are to recieve three fourths of his wealth." Orcy hands Sil a bag full of gold, totalling up to 149812.5gp (in platinum or whatever makes that... able to be carried) "Orcy is sorry for your peoples loss. He fought well."
Dyne 11-16-04, 01:14 AM	What about XP? Wouldn't Droga get XP for defeating me?
Droga 11-16-04, 01:16 AM	Droga smiles, taking the bag and grinning at his victory. He puts the gold away at his waist and heads off out of the arena. On to other battles and wars. He was pleased this day, he had defeated the one who defended the half elf foundation. Just another mortal defeated in the end. It was a good day to kill. I guess its in gold. So uh... guess that means you can buy your stuff back. assuming Silmarien gives you the gold.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-16-04, 01:17 AM	Thats a good point. But Orcy should check with sil and them first. He should indeed get xp. But Orcy needs to make sure he isnt getting in the way of any of the things they have set up. If they agree, Orcy will PM Droga his xp.
Bait the Bard 11-16-04, 03:09 AM	I bet a further 100,00 on Dogra I don't accept bets in the middle of a battle ;) Thasis gains 1,000 gp.
Solmund 11-16-04, 06:44 AM	:weep: :weep: :weep: i lost 12,000 :weep: :weep: :weep: looks like i was right about adding the adamantine to the clone, he needs it... my turn now.
turalisj 11-16-04, 07:36 AM	its my turn to fight now solmund, you just watch. so droga, is it ok if i bring in my two followers and my cohort?
Droga 11-16-04, 09:51 AM	I wont be fighting again just quite yet, but maybe in a little bit. What is your character anyway? From what I can see you have two different sets of character stats posted. You have a cohort who I'm not sure if hes level 13 or if you just changed a few 15s to 13s on. Either way, I would only let you bring one, since I would bring a cohort as well.
turalisj 11-16-04, 05:39 PM	15th level elf ranger in my alternate form. in my true form i am a young adult bronze dragon with a taste for drow.
Droga 11-16-04, 05:43 PM	Is a young adult bronze dragon ecl 15? Or did you plan just to fight as a level 15 ranger? Another question, what kind of fight did you want, to the death, or till one of us is out cold?
turalisj 11-16-04, 05:48 PM	out cold. oh, and.... *pulls out a longsword sheathed in flames and a shortsword crackling with frost* meet flamy and frosty ;)
Droga 11-16-04, 06:31 PM	Droga doesn't fight to knock someone out. If hes going to fight, hes either going to kill or be killed. Thats how it works with him.
turalisj 11-16-04, 06:36 PM	i cant find the level adjustment for a bronze dragon...... it goes up to juvenile then stops... so i guess that is what my dragons age. owell. alright, fine, we play to the death.
Droga 11-16-04, 06:45 PM	If you insist of fighting me to the death I'm game. But remember, if you die, you are dead. Unless you get ressurected. This is an in character battle, its no sample thing, if your character dies here, hes gone. Unless ressurection or some other thing follows. Also keep in mind, that if (when :P) you die, you lose 1/4 of your gold, and the rest goes to the foundation that you want to represent in the fight. That includes your cohorts if you want to bring him in.
Dyne 11-16-04, 07:03 PM	*pulls out a longsword sheathed in flames and a shortsword crackling with frost* meet flamy and frosty Just a tip: Turalisj, you do realize Droga has Fire and Cold Resistance 10? So, your enchantments to your weapons are basically worthless against him.
Droga 11-16-04, 07:04 PM	Hey... I was going to suprise him with that ;)
turalisj 11-16-04, 07:08 PM	Just a tip: Turalisj, you do realize Droga has Fire and Cold Resistance 10? So, your enchantments to your weapons are basically worthless against him. oohh, :censored: owell, i'll just use my comp longbow of sneeking and distance. i'll post my cohort that will join me in battle.....
Dyne 11-16-04, 07:12 PM	owell, i'll just use my comp longbow of sneeking and distance. i'll post my cohort that will join me in battle..... I guess that might work. But, take a look at Droga's stats before you face him. You don't want to lose horribly because you didn't realize what you're truly up against. I planned for several days on a way to take down Droga, and now I'm dead, just a ghost gliding around. Just think about how much worse I would have lost if I didn't plan at all.
Droga 11-16-04, 07:14 PM	We already know, it was going to happen but you bailed on me :P
turalisj 11-16-04, 10:23 PM	im ready, i have my group listed in the player statistics thread. my cohort has a +2 holy longsword and i added the +2 holy bonus to my longbow. battle will commence at 11:00 gmt.
Droga 11-16-04, 10:25 PM	Tomorrow you mean? Because that doesnt work. I have a dnd game around then. Edit: and its just going to be you and your cohort, no followers.
turalisj 11-16-04, 10:27 PM	k, my cohort has enough spells to take you down. and if you want the american terms of the time it means 3:00 central. 2:00 pacific time.
Droga 11-16-04, 10:30 PM	You do realize that you'll be fighting me and my cohort dont you? It wont be tomorrow though, I have class then dnd. So... yeah.
turalisj 11-16-04, 10:48 PM	k, so thrusday, when do you get out of school? i dont have it that day so anytime then is good. question: does light cancel out your shadow meld?
Droga 11-16-04, 10:56 PM	You'll have to test it to find out. I'm free almost anytime thursday other that in the morning.
BronzeBeard 11-17-04, 10:25 AM	If it's the same shadow meld I know then whenever you direct a light on the subject of the spell then the spell is canceled. Once again: what is your source?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-17-04, 04:35 PM	Orcy has made a few adjustments to the first post. There you will find information on starting distances in battle. Judges will find information dealing with their powers in the arena in case of Orcy's absence.
Droga 11-17-04, 04:39 PM	That source question for me bronzebeard? If it is, uh... what do you mean?
BronzeBeard 11-17-04, 05:50 PM	That source question for me bronzebeard? If it is, uh... what do you mean? What is the shadow meld spell source. Where is it from?
Droga 11-17-04, 05:56 PM	It isnt a spell, its a natural ability of the Skygge race. It may share a name with a spell, but it isnt one. I came up with it when I made the Skygge race, so... didnt really check if it was a spell anywhere.
BronzeBeard 11-17-04, 07:54 PM	There's a spell, named like that, which gives your 15 circumstancial bonus to hide skill (must be used at night)
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-17-04, 08:17 PM	As a judge I already get to sit on this throne however - What about the other High Kings? We can leave them in the dust can we? I shall assume you ment to include him though. The High King is important and among all these people wouldn't want to risk death. Good work though. The High King sighs slightly at the end of the intense battle. "Good battle" He thought to himself "Much bravery shown." He then looks over to Droga off in the corner and telepaths "Good fight - You have proven your innocence." Noticing a new contestant, Turalisj, preparing for battle he quickly uses his powers to divine why. "Ahh not for honor but for glory." The High King smiled to himself knowing what would happen if Droga shall prove his honor in two battles. "Evils never good but it can be honorable." Tura - Are you fighting in the name of the CoA? -Frosty :D
turalisj 11-17-04, 09:22 PM	coa? im fighting in the name of the dragons guild and the half-elf foundation. while im waiting frosty, you think you could send some monsters for me to fight? :cool:
Demonfey 11-17-04, 09:25 PM	I can take care of that... {Making arcane runes, Crowley opens a gate in the arena. A red dragon that is the same age and power as you are enters the arena.} I would prefer this to be a knock-out fight. Okay?
turalisj 11-17-04, 09:42 PM	considering that im a young adult... owell.initiative (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=turalisj#134693) a 19a young looking elf enters the stadium floor and looks at the red dragon before him, he looks at his three acomplises and says, my friends, i do not wish for you to be injured in this fight between me and this demonic dragon. this will be one fight which i shall greatly enjoy." as he says this goblins, drow, and other servents of evil cackle and jeer at him, yelling in thier own language to get out of the stadium.turalisj merely laughs as he tranforms into a bronze dragon. first, wings sprout from his back, then his skin takes on a scaly, bronze texture. finnally his mucles and body double in size until, where a single elf was standing, a bronze dragon is crouching.
turalisj 11-17-04, 10:22 PM	frosty, demonfey left, so could you pleease take off where he left? he was about to pit me, a young adult bronze dragon, against a red dragon of the same age.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-18-04, 05:16 AM	Orcy brings a bag full of gold to the waiting room. Handing it to Droga. "Here is your reward. A fourth of your opponent's wealth. (49,937.5gp) Orcy walks out and into the arena area. Leaping up into the stands with a powerful jump. He approaches Sil. "Lady Silmarien. You're man has fallen in combat. In accordance with the rules of the arena. You are to recieve three fourths of his wealth." Orcy hands Sil a bag full of gold, totalling up to 149812.5gp (in platinum or whatever makes that... able to be carried) "Orcy is sorry for your peoples loss. He fought well." My apologies for the delay - it's midweek and I've got 1000 threads to monitor. However I *did* read the whole thread - and it was a *great* read. When the battle is over - Sil materialises right before Droga's face - she appears literally 6 inches away - and she locks eyes with him. Her emerald eyes are fey - and her cheeks filled with blood. She clutches the Runestaff - and she is Readied. "Abomination thou art!" she hisses as she flicks her hair over her shoulders. "not so lucky in another time though, Droga!" She turns her attention to the Arena guests - the auditorium and all the peoples. And she raises the Runestaff in her right arm - and points is skywards - and she incants once - releasing a single melodic tone - which unlocks the Silverstarfire from the vaults of space and time - and a bolt of pure azure is hurled skywards - and its light reflects off your cheeks. She turns to the Evil minions in the Arena and her voice rings out into the skies - a pure and unsullied call that burns at the hearts of the damned as the Paladin's Fires burns the Undead to ashes. FOOLS! Your bones shall be crushed and ruined - scorched by the unrelenting cleansing fires of Arnandahar and the Ellaédûn - and thence we shall rid the Earth of The Damned. She turns to Dyne's dead body and kneels over him - and her tears fall upon his ruined form. She picks him up in her arms and incants - vanishing in an explosion of coherent blue.
Droga 11-18-04, 01:05 PM	The Forces of evil hiss at Silmarien as she speaks to them. Or rather as she threatens them for being what they are and cannot help but be. "Vile wench!" "Sore Loser!" "You should be in that scum's position!" Droga simply smiles at Silmarien. "You dishonor youself with your actions little swine." [Present] Alright Turalisj. I'm free for the rest of today, so I can kill you whenever you want. :P
turalisj 11-18-04, 01:11 PM	oh, alright..... turalisj looks at the dragon and shakes his head sadly. as he does this his foot makes its way over to a pressure pad. he slams hit foot on it, as he does the dragon bcomes engulfed in tentacles and falls through a pit. turalisj reverts back to his elven shape and calls for his cohort. but i'm going soon and may not be back until 3:00 central time. but that should give me enough time before i go to kill you.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 01:15 PM	"You both know the rules, if you don't I'll have to come down there and club ya. So... lets get this show on the road. Let the fight begin! HOOAH!" See that, Orcy just appears from thin air... oooh... skilled. Alright, roll initiative, use links and the dice program. Orcy will be watching to make sure everything goes smoothly. So, whenever the two of you are ready, roll initiative. Oh, and bad Sil. Teleporting into the arena like that and threatening people without propper challenges. You know Orcy woulda had to whoop on ya if you did anything. :P
Droga 11-18-04, 01:20 PM	Droga stalks into the arena. His red eyes looking over Turalisj and his cohort. Vadok walks behind Droga. His sightless eyes gazing upon the opponents. A wicked grin spreads across his face as he places a hand on the hilt of his rapier. The two of them stop 80ft apart from Turalisj and his cohort. Shifting back into battle stances and preparing for the fight ahead. Rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga2#134768) Droga goes on a 29 Vadok goes on a 17
turalisj 11-18-04, 03:23 PM	turalisj:25 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Turalisj.#134778 ) eniavon:24 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Eniavon.#134779) lets get this fight started.
Demonfey 11-18-04, 03:26 PM	frosty, demonfey left, so could you pleease take off where he left? he was about to pit me, a young adult bronze dragon, against a red dragon of the same age. Sorry. I was having issues with the connection.
turalisj 11-18-04, 03:33 PM	thats okay, the red dragon is now battling several kracken. :D :P :cool:
Demonfey 11-18-04, 03:39 PM	{Crowley heads down. You then see some tentacles fly up, and very bright flashes. Crowley then appears on the wall, looking really p*ssed off. A tentacle is in his hands, and the red dragon he summoned lands next to him, unhurt.} THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THAT! YOU DON'T INSULT MY FORMER FAMILIARS LIKE THAT, TURALISJ!!! YOU COULD HAVE JUST ASKED HIM TO STEP ASIDE, BECAUSE MY FAMILIARS REMEMBER THE LESSONS I TAUGHT THEM, AND THE FIRST ONE IS TO TOLERATE METALLIC DRAGONS UNLESS ATTACKED!
Droga 11-18-04, 03:39 PM	Droga roars loudly. He charges foreward, heading for Turalisj then swerving off and swinging at Eniavon with one of his massive claws. He laughs as his claw tears into the mage's flesh. Laughing as he looks toward Trualisj. Attack: 23 Damage: 35 rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga2#134782)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 03:42 PM	Was that really needed Demonfey?
Demonfey 11-18-04, 03:51 PM	My character has been kicked out of a foundation and had his dragon insulted. He needed to vent.
Droga 11-18-04, 03:59 PM	And... he dissappears....
Silmarien Aldalome 11-18-04, 04:33 PM	"You both know the rules, if you don't I'll have to come down there and club ya. So... lets get this show on the road. Let the fight begin! HOOAH!"

You know Orcy woulda had to whoop on ya if you did anything. :P Sorry Orcy! It was at the *end* of the combat - before the new combat - to get Dyne's body. I would never do that otherwise. :bow: stav
turalisj 11-18-04, 04:40 PM	you're an evil outsider, correct droga? because that is one of my favored enemies. besides drow and other dragons.
Droga 11-18-04, 04:45 PM	Yeah, Droga is an evil outsider...
turalisj 11-18-04, 04:59 PM	:devil: good, that means my attacks deal +4 damage. and added to my +4 holy longbow of distance and seeking, that means i get +8 damge. oh, and holy attacks deal extra damage, correct?
Droga 11-18-04, 05:04 PM	The holy weapon enchantment has an effect because I'm evil. it deals an extra 2d6 damage. You know uh... its your turn...
turalisj 11-18-04, 05:19 PM	seeing his friend take a blow turalisj lets an arrow fly from his bow. damage: 46 holy damage: 3 total damage: 49 and i have 39 more arrows where that came from.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 05:29 PM	Orcy is curious how you got +36 to your attack. From what he can tell you have... about... +25. There is no bonus to attack from favored enemy in 3.5. Nor can you take Evil outsider twice to make it so you can get double bonuses, they dont stack. For that matter, how do you have +36 to damage?
Droga 11-18-04, 05:31 PM	Turalisj... you have played dnd before havent you?
turalisj 11-18-04, 05:39 PM	eniavon, blood rushing from his wound,summoned up the last of his strength as a bear, its fur glowing with a heavenly color, apeared in front of him. eniavon casted summon monster V and summoned 3 celestial lions to fight for him. he then backs away 30ft.
Droga 11-18-04, 05:46 PM	Ok... first I'm going to take my attack of opportunity on you sorcerer before he finishes his spell because hes standing next to me trying to cast. Before my cohort goes, mind explaining the massive to hit and damage? Droga grins as the sorcerer begins casting a spell. The fool had left himself wide open. Droga brought back his claw and swung it foreward, plunging his claw into the sorcerer before he could complete his spell. Attack: 35 Damage: 27 rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga2#134840) If I'm not mistaken, that drops your cohort to -3. So he cant finish the spell because... well... hes bleeding to death on the ground.
turalisj 11-18-04, 05:50 PM	woops, sorry. the damage is just +31. the damage to ousiders is added twice dealing +4 damage to any evil outsider. i'm currently lending my phb to a friend so if my attacks have the wrong damage then i'm sorry. but the new damage is 36. still a considerable amount. :( again, i'm sorry if anything is wrong.
turalisj 11-18-04, 05:51 PM	Ok... first I'm going to take my attack of opportunity on you sorcerer before he finishes his spell because hes standing next to me trying to cast.

So he cant finish the spell because... well... hes bleeding to death on the ground. :eek: two half elves run out to the field and carry away the dead body of eniavon. and actaully that kills him. i need a clone for him it seems.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 05:57 PM	From the character sheet you posted you have the following modifiers: Attack: +25 Damage: +8 (+10 if you put all extra damage into evil outsider for favored enemies) Orcy has no idea where you got +31 from, but it isnt right. So the damage you dealt to Droga is 17. Add the 3 holy to that and its 20 At least Orcy thinks it is, you didn't post links to the rolls.
Droga 11-18-04, 06:07 PM	I'm going to go with Orcy's calculation for now. Since +31 damage... and attack, is higher than even I have. Theres really no possible way you could have that at level 15. Vadok moves toward Turalisj pulling out a crossbow as he does so. He stops a ways away still and fires a bolt, the bolt's tip glistens in the light with some vile thing coating it. The bolt sticking into Turalisj, a poison entering his veins from it. Vadok moves toward Turalisj 30ft and fires the crossbow, which is coated with poison. Attack: 27 Damage: 1 (whee...) Fort DC: 22 (you need to make a fort save before I take Droga's actions)
turalisj 11-18-04, 06:11 PM	those half elves who ran out to the field were taking the fallen sorcerers body to the coa and have him returned to life. and i guess i'll have to deal the damage as orcy said....
turalisj 11-18-04, 06:12 PM	I'm going to go with Orcy's calculation for now. Since +31 damage... and attack, is higher than even I have. Theres really no possible way you could have that at level 15.

Fort DC: 22 (you need to make a fort save before I take Droga's actions) what poison type?
Droga 11-18-04, 06:14 PM	If you fail the save you go blind.
turalisj 11-18-04, 06:17 PM	i got a 26. *checks dmge for poison type*
Droga 11-18-04, 06:28 PM	Droga roared, slashing at Turalisj with both claws. One after the other tearing into Turalisj. Droga roared angrily, this fight was becoming disappointing. He growled in Turalisj's face. "Is this the best you've got mortal swine?" Attack1: 32 AttacK2: 22 Damage1: 38 Damage2: 29 rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Droga2#134840) (The second attack hit because I looked over your AC. You should have a 21 without your shield, 25 with it. Since you just used your bow, you cant have the shield out making the AC 21)
turalisj 11-18-04, 06:34 PM	orcy, am i allowed to use my alternate form? oh, and i move 30ft back and fire another arrow at droga. damage: 32 holy damage: 1 total damage: 33
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 06:36 PM	It has to be a level 15 character, and since your other form is a young adult bronze dragon, I believe, then you cant. Its ECL is over 15 if Orcy isn't mistaken.
Droga 11-18-04, 06:38 PM	Droga roars, swinging at Turalisj as he tries to move away. His claw swinging down, a massive black force of death. But as luck would have it, for Turalisj anyway, his claw tears a hole into the ground rather than the half-elf's body. AOO: 20 (nat 1)
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 06:40 PM	Orcy sees what your doing now Turalisj. Your attack roll modifier DOES NOT apply to damage. Thats what your Damage modifier is for. In this case, the damage modifier is +10. So you deal 18 damage to Droga, not 33.
turalisj 11-18-04, 06:47 PM	Droga roars, swinging at Turalisj as he tries to move away. His claw swinging down, a massive black force of death. But as luck would have it, for Turalisj anyway, his claw tears a hole into the ground rather than the half-elf's body. AOO: 20 (nat 1) :mad: I AM NOT A HALF ELF! YOU MUST BE BLIND AND DUMB TO THINK THAT! I AM IN THE FORM OF A HIGH ELF! ehem, anyway... i am effectivly killed bacause of that. i only had 74 hp to begins with... and droga slaughtered me. i had no chance, why.. beacuse he has 100 something hp and i have about half that. this was not really an even match and i say the LA for the skygge should be a bit higher.
Droga 11-18-04, 06:48 PM	Vadok smirks to himself. He reloads his crossbow, knowing he isnt likely to need it. He takes a single step toward Droga and waits for him to take action. Reloading and taking a 5ft step toward Droga. Droga laughs at the arrow that had peirced his arm. He moves toward Turalisj. Slashing at him with one of his claws he laughs. Digging his claw deep into Turalisj before tearing it back out. Growling angrily at the dissapointment of the battle. Attack: 31 Damage: 33 I'm pretty sure that drops you right?
Droga 11-18-04, 06:50 PM	It wasnt that the LA Turalisj. I think you could do pretty good if you learned the rules a bit better. You were giving me chance after chance for attacks of opportunity.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 06:55 PM	Turalisj, the battle would have likely gone a lot better if you had indeed known the rules a bit more. Orcy isnt sure how long you've been playing, but he hasnt seen anybody try to add attack modifier to damage. This isnt meant as an insult. Orcy would aslo appreciate it if you wouldn't insult other posters. Everyone makes mistakes, and since you were working with the half-elf foundation, it is a really easy mistake to make. Orcy brings Droga another bag of gold, this time it holds 58,750gp worth. Which foundation would you like the remainder of the gold to be sent to Turalisj? Likely they'll just give it back to you to use to resupply yourself and your cohort. Since the money for both was factored into the total.
turalisj 11-18-04, 06:58 PM	well, i'm not going to come back as a clone. instead i'll come back as a half dragon elf.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 07:00 PM	Does that mean you would prefer to make a new character and have the gold sent to a foundation for general use? (Since making a new character would give you new starting gold. Of course he wouldnt be named the same as your first, nor would he be the same person.)
turalisj 11-18-04, 08:27 PM	ya, but my original characters spirit will inhabit his psycrystal. (thats right, im going with a psion) i'll be posting something about that in the half elf foundation. oh, and he wont be an elf. you may be suprised at what he will be. though he will still be half dragon.
BronzeBeard 11-18-04, 08:46 PM	this was not really an even match and i say the LA for the skygge should be a bit higher. Where's the skygge from?
Demonfey 11-18-04, 08:49 PM	It's his personal creation.
king_of_evil007 11-18-04, 09:22 PM	While I can't make a truly informed look, the Skygge does seem quite powerful. How exactly does Shadow Meld work? This guy seems like quite a beast, although I haven't really examined him.
Droga 11-18-04, 09:32 PM	A skygge's body is composed of (why did they name it this) shadow stuff. Skygge have mastered the ability to break their body back down into shadowstuff, thus allowing them to merge with the shadows. Doing it is a move action that must be done while standing in a shadow. This guy is indeed quite a beast, he was made to be. His race are creatures bred to fight, and have fought since as long as they have existed. Having made them, I have a very good idea of what they can and cannot do. So using one, I tend to have a big advantage. Then again, anything would seem like a beast in that last fight.
turalisj 11-18-04, 09:55 PM	could you post a link?
king_of_evil007 11-18-04, 09:57 PM	But is he balanced? How do I counter this Shadow Meld? Does it provoke AoOs? It doesn't matter if somebody's supposed to be like a beast (in RP terms), what matters here is balance. You're almost certainly stronger than me in combat, but then again, my guy wasn't optimized for fighting. But you did seem quite strong in that fight with Dyne, but he barely landed any decisive blows on you (IIRC) so who knows. Droga of the Black Fang Clan Cleric 1/Fiend of Blasphemy 2 (Feind Folio) Skygge Elder Racial HD: 6d8 LA: +6 Alignment: Chaotic Evil Divine Ranks: Soverign Ranks: Experience: 109,500 HP: 103 AC: 34 (+10 Armor, +5 Dex, +10 Natural. -1 size) BAB: +7/+2 Speed: 45ft, Climb 30ft, Burrow 15ft, Fly 90ft (average) Init: +9 Abilities: Str 28 +9 (18 Natural, 8 roll, 2 belt) Dex 20 +5 (6 natural, 12 roll, 2 belt) Con 24 +7 (10 natural, 10 roll, 2 belt, 2 level) Int 16 +3 (14 roll, 2 belt) Wis 26 +8 (4 natural, 16 roll, 6 collar) Cha 24 +7 (6 natural, 16 roll, 2 belt) These are very impressive ability scores. Naturally, they seem a bit unbalanced (sure, your mental stats and dex are horrible, but if you're not a caster, they hardly matter), and with pretty nice rolls. . . OH, by the way.. . Let's assume your race has a Wisdom of four. On average. If you roll a 16, your Wisdom isn't 20. That means humans would have a 0 in all ability scores. Since a four is 10-6, your 16 would become a 10. Meaning your wisdom should actually be 16. I think, someboyd might need to correct me on the exact math. (I remember more rules involving 11s. . .) Assuming those are +4 natural (meaning average Wisdom is 14), then your race is VERY powerful. Fort +23 (10 base, 6 con, 7 cha (mysticism)) Ref +20 (8 base, 5 dex, 7 cha (mysticism)) Will +25 (10 base, 8 wis, 7 cha (mysticism)) What's Mysticism?

Could you give me a better breakdown, so I know what comes from class levels and what doesn't? (Don't have Fiend Folio, nor BoVD if it matters). Sorry if I'm a pain, it just seems this guy is a bit strong. Cool though.
Demonfey 11-18-04, 09:59 PM	I know how to defeat the shadow meld. For there to be a shadow meld, there have to be shadows. Get rid of the shadows, and attack the one left. If there aren't any left, then you have managed to do something unexpected and benevolent for yourself. I never posted this strategy because I hoped one of you would think of it.
turalisj 11-18-04, 10:00 PM	droga's character sounds more like an epic to me. i think we should let the judges decide though.
Demonfey 11-18-04, 10:03 PM	We can test this theory. I have an epic character. We do a test fight and see who wins. If I win, then he is not as epic as me, and if he wins, he has to rethink his species build. It could also just be that you didn't think your strategy through enough.
Droga 11-18-04, 10:25 PM	The character is not epic, and frankly I'm rather insulted by all this questioning. I've run these things for a while now, I know that they are indeed strong, but that doesn't mean they're epic. I know how to do ability scores KOE, so I don't need a lecture on that one. Orcy has the stats, so if I do something in combat here, then he can mention it. Anglar has the stats, he never said anything about them. As for my fight with Dyne, I think you were watching a different fight. We were both at 13hp at the end. I beat him only because he messed up, otherwise he probably would have won. For Turalisj, I think he needs to learn the basic rules before he starts making accusations about a character being far too powerful.
Demonfey 11-18-04, 10:28 PM	I just said it in case you wanted to see. That's all
king_of_evil007 11-18-04, 10:30 PM	WHoa, don't take offense. I was simply unsure about whether it was "Natural 4" or "Natural +4", that's all. I'm not implying that you don't know the rules, trust me, I've done much worse and I design d20 stuff. I don't think he's epic either. Maybe a bit strong, but almost certainly not epic. . . Regardless, if Orcy and Anglar think it's all good, then it's fine with me.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-18-04, 10:39 PM	Orcy would prefer that you keep matters of a character's stats and such on the player statistic thread. That way Orcy's nice clean arena floor is kept free of posts that dont really belong on it.
Dyne 11-18-04, 11:53 PM	It doesn't matter if somebody's supposed to be like a beast (in RP terms), what matters here is balance. You're almost certainly stronger than me in combat, but then again, my guy wasn't optimized for fighting. But you did seem quite strong in that fight with Dyne, but he barely landed any decisive blows on you (IIRC) so who knows. Check that fight again. One more hit, and Droga would have been dead. He was down to only 13 HP. There are plenty of ways to counter Shadow Meld. Also, like all characters, Droga has plenty of weaknesses. You just have to find them. I spent a bit of time analyzing every ability that Droga has, and every ability that would counter his abilities/exploit his weaknesses. I'll PM you everything, case you're wanting to fight him (sorry Droga, he needs at least to be informed to stand any chance against you).
Dyne 11-19-04, 12:00 AM	I know how to defeat the shadow meld. For there to be a shadow meld, there have to be shadows. Get rid of the shadows, and attack the one left. If there aren't any left, then you have managed to do something unexpected and benevolent for yourself. I never posted this strategy because I hoped one of you would think of it. There is a much easier way of countering his Shadow Meld ability, and I found it. I just never needed to use it in the fight.
turalisj 11-19-04, 05:29 PM	I HAVE A BONE TO PICK! according to the 3.5 phb at fifth level the ranger may select an addintional favored enemy from the table. in addition, at each such intervel, the bonus against any favored enemy, if desired, increases by two. for example a fifth level ranger can have two favored enemies; against one he gains a +4 bonus on bluff, listen, sense motive, spot, and survival checks and WEAPON ROLL DAMAGES SO MY 34 BONUS SHOULD HAVE COUNTED!!!! I WAS CHEATED OUT OF MY FIGHT!!!
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-19-04, 05:54 PM	Orcy doesn't see how you believe you were cheated. The damage you delt WAS with that bonus. You were not cheated in any way. Heres the breakdown for you: Attack- BAB + Dex Mod + Enchantment 15 + 6 + 4 = +25 Full Attack- +25/+20/+15 Damage- Enchantment + Favored Damage 4 + 6 = +10
BronzeBeard 11-19-04, 09:04 PM	We can test this theory. I have an epic character. We do a test fight and see who wins. If I win, then he is not as epic as me, and if he wins, he has to rethink his species build. It could also just be that you didn't think your strategy through enough. We can test the theory in more simple way, here's a simple ECL calculator (means a character with class levels and race) can be checked to be viewed for level. If anyone doesn't believe, or more politicly correct, thinks that his character is too strong then he can use this as an objective, measuring tool.
Demonfey 11-19-04, 09:07 PM	Yeah, but my approach would be more interesting and entertaining.
Xen155 11-19-04, 09:08 PM	Yeah, but my approach would be more interesting and entertaining. You mean more violent ;)
Demonfey 11-19-04, 09:27 PM	It was implied. In any case, my plan was to the KO.
Dyne 11-19-04, 10:14 PM	We can test the theory in more simple way, here's a simple ECL calculator (means a character with class levels and race) can be checked to be viewed for level. If anyone doesn't believe, or more politicly correct, thinks that his character is too strong then he can use this as an objective, measuring tool. I'd like to look at that ECL calculator. But, it can't really be completely accurate, since special abilities add to the LA of a race, and special abilities usually can't be measured very well.
BronzeBeard 11-20-04, 09:06 AM	This is quit true, but ECL of something beyond 28 for 15th level character means something is mostly wrong.
Xen155 11-20-04, 01:21 PM	Orcy would prefer that you keep matters of a character's stats and such on the player statistic thread. That way Orcy's nice clean arena floor is kept free of posts that dont really belong on it....
Demonfey 11-20-04, 02:05 PM	Sorry, but this could determine the nature of the next fight.
Xen155 11-20-04, 06:15 PM	Perhaps the discussion should be taken to the Ball?
Dyne 11-20-04, 06:17 PM	Orcy would prefer that you keep matters of a character's stats and such on the player statistic thread. That way Orcy's nice clean arena floor is kept free of posts that dont really belong on it. ... Sadly, whenever someone tries to switch a topic over to a different thread, all it does is split the topic in half, and it gets discussed on BOTH threads, to no real benefit. "Droga! You are an abomination to the world of Toril! I will not tolerate you destroying all that gets in your path. I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DEATHMATCH!!!" By-the-way, it's not my Wizard/Fighter Dyne who's challenging you to a deathmatch, it's Helm Dundragon, of the Purple Dragon Knights. I made him up last night, and he is totally AWESOME. Gotta love those Forgotten Realms Prestige Classes.... EDIT: Sorry, Orcy, but your arena floor isn't very clean anymore. It's been soiled up by Dyne's and Turalisj's blood. :P
BronzeBeard 11-20-04, 06:38 PM	emm, You dont actually knows it but I work half time-ship at cleaning the arena's floor...
Droga 11-20-04, 06:45 PM	"Another fool comes. Like lambs to the slaughter, they gather to die. You will die if you battle me little swine, you know this?" Mind posting the character before randomly challenging me to a deathmatch?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-20-04, 06:48 PM	Orcy is begining to wonder if every battle that takes part in this arena is going to involve Droga somehow. Since he seems to be the only one people are challenging.
Xen155 11-20-04, 06:50 PM	To defeat Droga would mean you would be the most powerful combatant to fight so far, and he has angered quit a few people.
Droga 11-20-04, 06:52 PM	A better strategy would be to build up funds until you have enough to get more items and plot against me. ;)
turalisj 11-20-04, 07:38 PM	orcy, are we allowed to design our own arena types to be implemented into the original arena? for instance... 300 ft poles, 5ft across, all of the poles are 30ft feet from eachother except the center two poles, which are 10ft from each other. a kracken resides in the water below, dragon bones can be seen. the rules for the arena of this type is no rings/spells/items that modify jumping, and no feather fall,catfall, or flight is allowed. if someone tries to fly then they will be grabbed by the krackens tentacles and thrashed about. the kracken has 32 hd. the poles are made from normal stone. -so think it is a good modification?
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-20-04, 07:45 PM	Orcy is begining to wonder if every battle that takes part in this arena is going to involve Droga somehow. Since he seems to be the only one people are challenging. What Orcy? You wanna go punk? You son of a raping, ravanging, mindless, women and a bastard orc man-*****! I'm gonna slap you up side of yo green you-know-what! FOO!... :ahem: :blush: :uh-huh: :nonono: :banghead: :twitch: :gah: :shocked: :looloo: :thinks: :behold: ...Sorry couldn't help it... ...-Frosty... ... EDIT: Posted right after the gentleman above me - I like the design arena idea. I don't see why this should be a problem as long as it doesn't get too complicated and the opposition agress.
Dyne 11-20-04, 07:52 PM	Orcy is begining to wonder if every battle that takes part in this arena is going to involve Droga somehow. Since he seems to be the only one people are challenging. No one will be challenging him after I kill him. ;) I'll post my character ASAP. I'm almost finished, maybe work out a few things. So far, he looks more powerful than Droga (without having to resort to tricks like Invisibility).
turalisj 11-20-04, 08:10 PM	@dyne- if orcy approves the arena addition, then do you want to be the first to try it?
BronzeBeard 11-20-04, 08:18 PM	Orcy is begining to wonder if every battle that takes part in this arena is going to involve Droga somehow. Since he seems to be the only one people are challenging. No, it just that we don't have any other reason to fight - I would like to fight and kill when the opportunity strike but it a waste my beauty (character) on a stupid move in the game (and it hasn't even started). orcy, are we allowed to design our own arena types to be implemented into the original arena? I guess we could, but making it as you would have it make it a grand advantage for you, I guess you could ask and Orcy will build something for you. P.S. Orcy, I think I came up with an idea: How about tournement? Yes, you would invite representors from each foundation, a set amount of players (say 3), and they will compete for glory (and glory only [means no death], since not all of us would like to loose his creation. I want to represent it, ohh let me let me! Just give me an OK sign an I'll build and invite fighters (of course you will judge).
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-20-04, 08:22 PM	Orcy supposes he could allow it. However, both parties would have to accept the set of rules. Otherwise it would have to be normal. Keep in mind as well, that those outside the arena can do whatever they want. This includes casting spells and such. As long as it does not have an effect on the fighters in the arena. You can even use telepathy, but keep in mind Orcy can listen to all conversations done in that way or any other. Do whatever you want to make it more fun for you. But please don't start fights with other players that are in the stands, or Orcy will have to get wondrous on you. Edit: Orcy already has ideas for a tournament in the works. Also, dont forget that not all fights have to be to the death. You can fight until one is knocked out. That saves you the whole death thing.
Dyne 11-20-04, 08:33 PM	@dyne- if orcy approves the arena addition, then do you want to be the first to try it? Maybe. What exactly are the poles for? @BronzeBeard: What a GREAT idea! I just think I'll have all my IFWG characters participate! Though, they may have to fight each other, and that could prove to be a problem....
Xen155 11-20-04, 08:45 PM	You fight on top of the poles above the ground.
Demonfey 11-20-04, 10:58 PM	Orcy is begining to wonder if every battle that takes part in this arena is going to involve Droga somehow. Since he seems to be the only one people are challenging. He's also reigning champ. Beat him, and you become the new champ. No one will be challenging him after I kill him. Didn't you say something like that once before? How about a random number contest on who gets to create the arena? Then they could work out the details later.
turalisj 11-20-04, 11:15 PM	actually, if he execpts, i would like to fight demonfey. i cant wait till he sees me weilding a fullblade!
Dyne 11-20-04, 11:15 PM	Didn't you say something like that once before? A different character is challenging him this time, one who kicks some serious A in battle, especially against evil creatures. Take a look at him in the Player Character and Statistics thread. His name is Helm Dundragon of Cormyr. @Turalisj: That arena seems to make it impossible for us to attack each other in melee, and both mine and Droga's characters are designed for melee. And I certainly can't jump 30 ft. without magical aid! As it stands, it would be a good ranged combat/spellcasting arena, but it wouldn't work well with out characters unless things were tweaked a bit. If we're gonna use a special arena, it should have stuff like traps and objects that provide cover, things that work for melee combat. P.S. Turalisj, if you're challenging Crowley, you will probably be thrashed simply because he's Epic. Or, are you challenging Elf?
Droga 11-20-04, 11:21 PM	"You will never defeat me little creature. I shall send you to your death just as I have to the rest of those who have challenged me. So come, let us battle. It shall be your last." Bring it oooooooooon :P
Xen155 11-20-04, 11:26 PM	This is gonna be good.
Demonfey 11-20-04, 11:26 PM	Think about that carefully, turalisj. Also, remember that I cast 7th level spells at least either way.
Droga 11-20-04, 11:57 PM	So Dyne, when we gonna do this?
Dyne 11-21-04, 12:03 AM	So Dyne, when we gonna do this? I don't know. I still have a few minor details to work out with my character, and I don't think I'll be able to fight until some time on Tuesday. :thinks: I'll see if I can work out a time.
turalisj 11-21-04, 12:16 AM	Think about that carefully, turalisj. Also, remember that I cast 7th level spells at least either way. yes, but i also have a fullblade at my disposal :D and i can manifest 6th level powers. this match could be the showdown to see which is better, the psychic warrior, or the mage. oh, and i am challencing Elf. after this i am going to seek out a skygge villiage so i can complete the last requirment on the pyrokineticist; set fire to a structure of any size just to see it burn. :mage:
Xen155 11-21-04, 12:18 AM	Hahahahahahaha!
Droga 11-21-04, 12:19 AM	Skygge live on another plane. A plane that if you went to... you'd be killed pretty fast. Besides, they dont sleep. So they dont really have houses. The buildings they do have are made of bones. So you wouldn't be able to burn it down anyway, even if you made it to one without getting slaughtered.
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-21-04, 12:39 AM	hmm now where do I recall that old Bone to Wood spell...hmm.. Sorry Dyne I'd help you out here but I ain't got nothin. These Skygge ARE interesting creatures...Tell me Droga...are they all elite warriors? Every member of a skygge tribe? Or are they like us and have some elite and a lot of fodder or are they elite and rely much on lesser-slave forces for fodder? Just curious, -Frosty
Droga 11-21-04, 12:45 AM	Skygge Elders are the elite. They have ancient skygge blood in them. Normal Skygge are more like fodder. They are also strong, but they happen to be pretty dumb. Those are used as the "fodder" sent ahead in battle to take the casualties, then the elders come in blasting with magics before jumping into combat. Normal skygge have yellow eyes and are 12ft tall. Skygge Elders have orange eyes and are 14ft tall. Those skygge that become Drogas have red eyes and are 16ft tall. Thats the easiest way to tell them apart. The yellow eyed lower skygge are fairly dim and tend to simply charge into battle swinging. While elder skygge do much the same, but they plan for it, use different strategies if they need to. They tend to be stronger than humans of course...
turalisj 11-21-04, 12:53 AM	hmph! fine, then i will just burn down an inn. i have yet to list my manifestible powers as well. but as you can see i am pretty focused on powering my fulllblade atacks.
Droga 11-21-04, 12:55 AM	What are the stats on a fullblade anyway?
turalisj 11-21-04, 01:01 AM	huge weapon, 100 gp cost, does 2d8 damage, hasa threat range of 19-20 does x2 damage on crits.wieghs 23lbs... oh and does slashing damage. with my improved critical i can get a crit on a 17! i was thinking of gaining proficiency with an elf double longbow.... :D
Droga 11-21-04, 01:04 AM	How is it your uh... using a huge weapon?
Silmarien Aldalome 11-21-04, 01:07 AM	"Another fool comes. Like lambs to the slaughter, they gather to die. You will die if you battle me little swine, you know this?" Sil hears this hissing from the Creature of Shadowstuff - and she inhales a sharp breath as she rises from her seat. She hums over the Runestaff - locating Droga's spirit and mind. And thence - she hurls You have yet to face my Wyrding Droga! WARD - No Shadow endures the Fires of the Sun - that dispell all Darkness. A symphony of bells chime in the airs as a fresh salt breeze dispels the stench of evil. She turns to Orcy and calls out in a clear, ringing female voice "Chieftan-Warrior! What of multiple melee - three on three or two on two. I would like to see this battle increased in numbers!" She ejects a pulse of Bluefire from the staff, that sears the airs as it passes into the skies.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-21-04, 01:10 AM	"As has been said by Orcy in his rules, multiple combatants are allowed. The number is decided by the fighters, and they must be even. If others are willing, then Orcy will allow multiple combatants. It is the way of the arena to allow such."
turalisj 11-21-04, 01:13 AM	How is it your uh... using a huge weapon? with 2 hands of course! picture a greatsword. now picture it being 18 inches longer. you now have the image of a fullblade.
Droga 11-21-04, 01:16 AM	Droga laughs at Sils words."Vile elven wench, you believe youself so superior. Yet your people continue to throw themselves at me and fall into death. They have proven only one thing, that their mortal flesh is far too weak. So ward youself little swine, for I shall kill this one as I have the others." Yeah... but a greatsword is large. A huge weapon usually cant be used, even in two hands. Or are there special rules for that one?
Silmarien Aldalome 11-21-04, 01:25 AM	Droga laughs at Sils words."Vile elven wench, you believe youself so superior. Yet your people continue to throw themselves at me and fall into death.

A huge weapon usually cant be used, even in two hands. Or are there special rules for that one? A wave of mental force pummels you in your minds eye - as silvery blue words burn themselves irrevocably into your memory When your Heart is burned with the power of Silverstarfire - thou shalt know an Eternal Pain - that will haunt you no matter where you are. And ever after - the echo of your cry shall be heard where both you were struck and within your mind
Demonfey 11-21-04, 01:33 AM	I am tempted to just try out my new creation that would be my answer to silver star fire here on you Droga. It is neither inherently good or evil, but rather just is a potentiality. In its current state, even I don't know for sure the potential, Droga. So please, stop agitating Sil.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-21-04, 01:35 AM	"As has been said by Orcy in his rules, multiple combatants are allowed. The number is decided by the fighters, and they must be even. If others are willing, then Orcy will allow multiple combatants. It is the way of the arena to allow such." :cool: about Orcy's level - I'm not going to push it Orcy. If you don't want to fight us in the ring as a Mortal - we need some other way of handling and settling any appeals that might ensue. If Orcy wants Divine Ranks 24-7 - then he can't be beaten in combat in the ring essentially. Having said that it might be fun for Orcy to do battle with another Deity when he's been dobbed in to another deity by a player...? Got any other ideas? What we won't have - is refereeing above question. So, I'm looking for ideas about handling appeals. regards stav
Droga 11-21-04, 01:35 AM	Shadows fill Silmariens vision. All around eyes star, yellow, orage, red. They gaze upon her with terrible intentions. She can feel their breath, their hate, their anger. A larger set of eyes. Blood red and glowing with a dark flame. They stare into her mind, into her soul. A booming voice. Something terrible and full of dark power. "You threaten one who is of my blood and who is my blood. You wish to bring pain unto my people and wish to challenge me. You hope for our death and wish for the end of our kind, my kind. You wish to take a part of me, to send it back to which it came. You wish many things, evil in their nature. Yet you claim goodness in yourself. Know that you anger me. Know that you are foolish for your intentions. Know that I am the true Droga. Know that I am... the Lightbane." With that the power leaves, the world once more returns to Silmariens eyes, and she can feel the darkness. The immense evil of the Lightbane. For it is strong, it is wicked, and overall, it is ANGRY.
Xen155 11-21-04, 01:37 AM	The furtherence of good is often called evil by those who fear it!
Droga 11-21-04, 01:40 AM	None of that last post could be heard by anybody but Sil, in character anyway.
Xen155 11-21-04, 01:41 AM	Meh. a little support goes a long way :D .
Silmarien Aldalome 11-21-04, 01:50 AM	Droga! That's COOL!!!! Shadows fill Silmariens vision. All around eyes star, yellow, orage, red. They gaze upon her with terrible intentions. She can feel their breath, their hate, their anger. A larger set of eyes. Blood red and glowing with a dark flame. They stare into her mind, into her soul. A booming voice. Something terrible and full of dark power. [i]"You threaten one who is of my blood and who is my blood. Sil greets Droga's anger and malevolent star and then breaks into pure, unsullied laughter. Its merry sound is a lift for allies and an aura of fear for those who are evil. In a flash of Azure and Silver - she releases a volley of silveryblue power that explodes at Droga's feet, showing him with earth. WHEN the time comes - you SHALL feel my power. And it shall reign upon you in unrelenting blasts of cleansing fires!
Droga 11-21-04, 01:52 AM	Sil, in case you've mistaken that (which I think you have) that wasnt my character Droga. That was incredibly powerful lord of the skygge Droga the Lightbane. Hence him calling himself the lightbane...
Silmarien Aldalome 11-21-04, 02:12 AM	Sil, in case you've mistaken that (which I think you have) that wasnt my character Droga. That was incredibly powerful lord of the skygge Droga the Lightbane. Hence him calling himself the lightbane... In that case My first Divine Ranks Post! There is a sudden rush of winds and the clouds swirl overhead. You feel a sudden wave of Divine might radiate into the aether. There is a flash of silverblue light - and a 20 foot tall apparition appears - a half-elf with raven hair and green eyes and she is fey. She is transluscent and adorned in the finest regalry. In her right arm, she carries a giant sword 10 feet in length and its mithril edge is more keen than any mortal weapon ever known. She brandishes the sword and points it skywards and it erupts into Silverblue. With each step she takes, the earth trembles and she stands towering before you. She speaks - her voice rings out into the skies and carries for dozens of miles so that all hear the commanding words of The Half-Elven Goddess Rh'iel - who is named Goddess of Redemption. She points the sword at you and says "Whatever you are! I can *SEE YOU* and *ALL EVENTS* that affect the Half-Elves 20 score days into the past and future. Any who worship me knows my hand know mine mind and will be guided by mine hand" She vanishes in a flash of azure.
Xen155 11-21-04, 02:19 AM	Xen appears with a quite pop in the empty stands and takes a seat. He stares at Droga And Silmarien.
Droga 11-21-04, 02:36 AM	Droga (the character) laughed. He shook his head and looked at where the 'goddess' had been. "Since when do the gods of you mortals take such interest in mortal affairs? Do you call upon your goddess in an attempt to frighten me? We skygge have slain creatures with the power of gods before. It is how we came to be. They do not frighten us. We have seen the fall of gods, we have seen the rise of them. We have seen the begining and the end of times. We have seen civilizations fall and civilizations rise. But all of them, have been as confident in themselves as you are now. In the end, all of them have fallen... yet we live on. So make your threats little mortal swine. Though your goddess may appear and threaten the Lightbane, he will not falter. If you persue your wishes of destroying my people, he will slay you. I am sure that your gods will battle amoung themselves over what action to take, it is how they do things. We have seen it many times. We have seen your kinds many times as well. Those who would wish our race gone. Yet we remain. At a time, we came forth to be peaceful with mortal man. We offered our help, we offered ourselves as allies. But they turned on us, they attacked us. They tried to kill us. We survived. Now, as you can see, our vengence on mortal man lives on in us. You have brought harm to our people, and our vengence will be fulfilled. So come if you must, attack us as your kind before you have. We shall again stop you. For we have lived through the worst your kind can think of, and we shall do so until the end of all." Droga rose up to his full 16ft in height. Roaring into the sky. The shadows seeming to growl and roar along with him. He looked at Silmarien, moving down to look her in the eyes. "Do not bother to parley with darkness dear half blood wench. For we will not listen. We shall not parley with mortal man, for he is foolish. We shall not befriend mortal man, for he is a traitor. We shall bring mortal man to justice, for he is unclean and petty. Your kind, and you yourself. See your world as just and good. You believe you are good. In your world you may be. But we are different. In our world, we are the good, the just, the honorable. We are that which is right. We shall not let mortal man take us. We shall not fall to your kind. For we are mighty. We are powerful. We... are... Skygge." Looking around the shadows move. That which was once but shadow now grows yellow eyes and a body. Younger skygge walk forth, around Droga and Silmarien in a circle. Their eyes full of anger they look on. "Know that we are everywhere. We are always watching. We could be behind you, walking in your shadow. We could be under your bed, waiting for you to go to sleep. We could be in your homes, beneath your table. To take you while you eat. We are anywhere and everywhere. Challenge us not, for we will never back down. Battle is our life. Death is welcomed, for it is honorable. We are not afraid to die, for we shall become more with death. So come with your soldiers. Come with your spells. Come with your silver tounges and your war machines. We will be waiting. We will be watching. We will be ready. And we... will... win." With that Droga turned, walking away from Silmarien, the other Skygge following behind him. A black blanket slipping across the arena floor.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-21-04, 02:49 AM	Very nice indeed Droga! I love your style and your work! About the DR post everyone - NOTE - it was visual only - no direct intervention - and NOT about the combat on Orcy's thread. DR posts are used by the GM to protect the integrity of our rules. I will only use *direct* intervention with my DR posts for two reasons 1. Visual Effects, colour, fun, flavour, intrigue 2. To ensure game-balance On Orcy's Thread - Rh'iel is only a visitor - she says to Orcy ....if you would have me - I would sit at the opposite end of the Arena - but only to *watch* for I visit you, Great Wondrous Being on your Home Plane as a Friend not a Hostile Intruder. I also can't use Rh'iel to advantage the Half-Elves. And the GMs (Orcy and Anglar) will monitor any DR posts I use - and likewise each GM to the other. Rh'iel will have a portfolio, and stats like all other deities. I will post it somewhere. But - her portfolio includes *all half-elves* at the very least. Like all major deities, she has a Portfolio Sense and various other powers. My apologies for the intrusion into the game. Is anyone currently fighting? stav
Xen155 11-21-04, 02:53 AM	Xen figits uncomfortably at the holy prescence. He seems unable to take his eyes of the god of the Half-Elfs.
BronzeBeard 11-21-04, 05:43 AM	Orcy supposes he could allow it. However, both parties would have to accept the set of rules. I think thats a yes... Ok, prepare yourself to: Grand Guilds Tournement - I am happy to host the first tournement in Orcy's arena :D . Any foundation willing to join the fights, and to prove her superiority, must choose three warriors that will participate in the fights. and now for the gooey, yummy flavor text: ... shouts of men. All thrilled to be here, at the stadium, viewing the most popular yearly games. As the gladiators prepare themself and the arena floor workers (or slaves as the fact is) clean and build the arena for the first march. The viewers already have gathered at the lines and lines of seats anclosed between the huge, many flags decorated, walls that even those cannot stop the voice of the audience, carried by wind to all across the city... P.S. The rules for the games are: 3 competeters at each group. magic allowed no flying (sorry droga, but if you fly then what the special floor will be?) I create special contest floors Orcy will (still) be judge cheers Edit: forgot this important note: Players do not fight to death, they can still die but the games are not set to death-match (check first post: rules for arena).
turalisj 11-21-04, 09:18 AM	i seem to see nothing about psionics....... :D
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-21-04, 10:37 AM	I don't understand why Droga can't fly - That’s a powerful advantage he has rightfully paid for - He needs some compensation if he can't fly or I would see no dishonor in him not accepting this challenge. I did challenge orcy though Sil – I don’t think Orcy wants to fight me ;). As for me fighting Orcy God to God – If our blades flashed against no another…no matter how distant the plane…it would be loud that even on the material plane the ringing would kill off the weakest and youngest of mortals…and deafen the others for the rest of their lives. Very few times have gods actually fought one another...our Avatars though…they can fight. If you prefer I will try to speed up the making of my 15th level character I mentioned in my Half-Elven post then perhaps orcy can do the same. -Frosty
Demonfey 11-21-04, 11:01 AM	So that is the history of the Skygge. Hmmm...
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-21-04, 12:13 PM	Orcy was refering to the different arena floors in the post you quoted Bronzebeard. He also mentioned after your fist post about this that he had arena tournaments in the works. But, Orcy guesses that he can allow player run tournaments, that should spice things up around here. Orcy does however request there be a small entrance fee for the fighters. A suggestion would be to make this not a battle to the death, but a battle until one team is knocked out. Orcy has a few magical means to ensure this is the case. However if you want your tournament to be to the death, then Orcy has no objection. He simply wonders if as many people would join when they could lose their character. Turalisj, for the purpose of the arena Orcy is using the "psionics are the same" rule. Without it, psions have an advantage against others. Since their items, their powers, pretty much everything they have and do is something most people arent prepared to fight against. No offense to the psionics foundation, but this is how Orcy always runs psionics. To him it is a magic created by the mind. Rather than study or have natural talent toward it, a psion develops his/her mind. When their mind is powerful enough, they can call upon magical effects created by their minds. Anyway, for balance's sake, Orcy is going to be using Psionics as if they were another kind of magic. Hence, the psionics are the same rule. Oh, and frostbite, Orcy has seen your post about fighting him. He thought it was a joke, but either way. Orcy doesnt have his character sheet for... well himself right now. So he cant really get into fighting just yet. Nor would he have any reason to fight you. Wouldnt want to hurt you :P
turalisj 11-21-04, 01:15 PM	mybe there should be an entrance fee. instead of killing, the match is k-o only and the winner of the tourney gets the money.
Dyne 11-21-04, 01:26 PM	I think thats a yes... Ok, prepare yourself to: Grand Guilds Tournement - I am happy to host the first tournement in Orcy's arena :D .

P.S. The rules for the games are: 3 competeters at each group. magic allowed no flying (sorry droga, but if you fly then what the special floor will be?) I create special contest floors Orcy will (still) be judge cheers Three men, all dressed in the same garb, metal armor with white surcoats and purple cloaks, step forward. The leader speaks for them. "Excellant, finally a tournament to prove the might of the Purple Dragons. I am Helm Dundragon, and here are my loyal friends Dorn Tallstag and Darvin Greycastle. We are Knights of the Purple Dragons, and we come to participate in this tournament for the glory of Cormyr." P.S. Dorn and Darvin are cohorts of my character Helm Dundragon. I'll post their stats as soon as I can. EDIT: Stats now posted at the Player Character and Statistics thread.
Droga 11-21-04, 02:02 PM	I don't need flying to whoop ya'll. :P
turalisj 11-21-04, 02:32 PM	i dunno... did you look at my character sheet? i just finished it. my ac of 23 will make it hard for you to touch my, let alone kill me. and i have a good mix of offensive/defensive powers. i'd say this will be a big battle when i fight Elf. and my main weapon is nothing to sneez at. @droga- have you ever seen rave master?
Droga 11-21-04, 02:36 PM	ooooooh I dunno, I'm pretty sure Droga could handle it. Rave master?
turalisj 11-21-04, 02:40 PM	its on cartoonnetwork. owell, bronzey-put me on the list of combatnets for the tourney. :D mybe there should be a test of sorts to see if our character is tough enough to enter the fight. elimination rounds- each combatent must face a monster or monsters with a total cr of 15.
Dyne 11-21-04, 03:09 PM	i dunno... did you look at my character sheet? i just finished it. my ac of 23 will make it hard for you to touch my, let alone kill me. and i have a good mix of offensive/defensive powers. i'd say this will be a big battle when i fight Elf. and my main weapon is nothing to sneez at. @droga- have you ever seen rave master? Droga has an attack bonus of +18 and an AC of 34. He would hit you on a roll of 5 or more. Plus, his attacks can do massive damage (I believe 5d6 against Good characters).
turalisj 11-21-04, 03:12 PM	Droga has an attack bonus of +18 and an AC of 34. He would hit you on a roll of 5 or more. Plus, his attacks can do massive damage (I believe 5d6 against Good characters). :eek: sounds more like an epic level to me....... *goes off to buy a +5 ring of natural armor and some psykoactive skin*
Droga 11-21-04, 03:15 PM	Turalisj, thats because you don't know what epic is.
Dyne 11-21-04, 03:19 PM	:eek: sounds more like an epic level to me....... *goes off to buy a +5 ring of natural armor and some psykoactive skin* He's not really epic. My character has +26 attack and AC 31, plus a load of special abilities, and he's just a regular human.
turalisj 11-21-04, 03:57 PM	still have enough gold to buy special items.....
Demonfey 11-21-04, 06:39 PM	Crowley, on the other hand, is epic.
BronzeBeard 11-21-04, 11:38 PM	HEY,easy now, one by one: I don't understand why Droga can't fly - That’s a powerful advantage he has rightfully paid for I'm really sorry but if Droga will use the fly where I used floor which sticks people he will get an advantage WAY to big, and that is not acceptable, sorry. He also mentioned after your fist post about this that he had arena tournaments in the works. Oh, I hope I can still run my tournement. Orcy does however request there be a small entrance fee for the fighters. A suggestion would be to make this not a battle to the death, but a battle until one team is knocked out. Haven't I wrote that down? :mymy: , I'll go fix this right away! Dorn and Darvin are cohorts of my... I'm sorry but the tournement is for 3 representors of each foundation, not 1 member and his cohorts. Yours are not welcome to the tournement. I don't need flying to whoop ya'll. :P a dwarven bartender enters the thread, raise his mug and cheers: "That's the spirit, lad" ...i just finished it. my ac of 23 will make it hard for you to touch my, let alone kill me. ahem, mine is 32 and I have'nt done yet. owell, bronzey-put me on the list of combatnets for the tourney. You need your guild master to subscribe both you and another 2 members of your foundation.
Dyne 11-22-04, 12:10 AM	I'm sorry but the tournement is for 3 representors of each foundation, not 1 member and his cohorts. Yours are not welcome to the tournement. When I posted that, I was the ONLY member of my foundation. Now, I have 1, possibly 2 more members that MAY be participating. If I don't have enough members interested, I should be able to make up for the gap with cohorts.
Silmarien Aldalome 11-22-04, 12:20 AM	This discussion (the bit about the tourny structure) is to be facilitated by Orcy. He sets out the limits of the rules here in the Arena. The other bits - my domain+Orcy+Anglar - and no-one gets excluded on our threads. Exclusionary policies are in breach of the Guidelines. Dyne - you're in Regards stav
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-22-04, 12:26 AM	Orcy says that the guild master doesnt need to tell people if they can do battle or not. It would probably be good if you wish to ask them if you would be a suitable choice, but it isnt needed. You must declare which guild you are fighting for, and who will be in the battle. We will start with actual PCs, if the guild's slots are not full by the time the tournament begins, then cohorts may be used in those spots. This should help with those who either do not have enough active members, or may not be well supported by the rest of the guild.
Droga 11-22-04, 12:34 AM	So Dyne, when is it I'm going to be whoopin on you again? :P
Dyne 11-22-04, 12:39 AM	So Dyne, when is it I'm going to be whoopin on you again? :P I think on Tuesday, GMT 11:00 pm. Unless, of course, you have conflicts with this time (or it ends up that I have conflicts with this time).

Droga 11-22-04, 12:43 AM	Erm.. hmm... lets see.... That should be around 6 here. I suppose I could make that time. I should be home by then. But its gettin to be around that vacation time. So I'll be headed home on tuesday. I should be there by then, but if I don't show up thats why. Plan on my showing up though.

Orcy too shall be on vacation around then. He doesn't know if he will be able to acess a computer at the time. He trusts the two of you can handle yourselves in the battle? Orcy will set out a ruling now, that you have up to say... 2-3 minutes to change something if you realized that you have messed up. Then the other player can call you on it and take advantage. He will see if he can manage to get on a computer. He thinks he may be able to, but cant be completely sure. Orcy supposes we shall see what we shall see.
BronzeBeard 11-22-04, 06:58 AM	Are there no contesters for the tournement? people, how about checking at your foundations for any gladiators?
turalisj 11-22-04, 07:19 AM	um, bronzey, I AM SIGNED UP FOR THE TOURNEY! WHY DONT YOU PUT YOUR GLASSES ON YOU LAZY, SMELLY, OVERSIZED, UGLY, HIDEUOS....*goes on ranting in sylvan*:rant:

I do know sylvan Besides, I don't recall you signing. And you need two other members from your forum to form a fighting group and I need the name of the foundation you're fighting for.
turalisj 11-22-04, 07:33 AM	half elf foundation.
BronzeBeard 11-22-04, 07:38 AM	I think that Dyne is at the half-elven, is he? Who will be the last contestor for the trio? And what does the foundation master has to say?
Demonfey 11-22-04, 03:38 PM	My vacation begins Thursday, really.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-22-04, 03:47 PM	um, bronzey, I AM SIGNED UP FOR THE TOURNEY! WHY DONT YOU PUT YOUR GLASSES ON YOU LAZY, SMELLY, OVERSIZED, UGLY, HIDEUOS....*goes on ranting in sylvan*:rant: turalisj, cut the crap. Orcy doesn't want to keep seeing you ranting like this. It just isnt nice, and if it keeps up, it would be considered harrasment, which is against the CoC. (heck, just that might be against it) Bronzebeard, if you would care to read Orcy's post. He has said that the foundation head does not need to clear them. As Sil is the head of the half-elf foundation, Orcy is pretty sure he would let anybody that wanted to join do so. While Orcy cannot speak for Sil, and Sil can tell you someone is out if he so chooses, Orcy would say let them go for it.

Maybe the half-elven foundation (sil) doesn't care who goes out to fight in her name the guild of Ultimate Banisment's master will not like that Utilar will go fight (fictional names).
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-22-04, 05:36 PM	Well, considering here in the guild house we don't ban anybody from participating in foundations, or the games in this case. Orcy would be pretty angry if someone told a member of their foundation they couldnt take part in the tournament.

Orcy would be pretty angry if someone told a member of their foundation they couldnt take part in the tournament. It's not that, it's like I would go and fight for a foundation record that really doesn't want me to fight for her. Lets say that KoE doesn't want the Amazing Creatores Foundation to participate in the tournements. That's Ok, the only thing I can't do now is to fight for his foundation's name I can still fight, nevertheless win, but I need another group that will accept me as one of her fighters (if you don't have one it's not big deal, I'll fix you some thing). Do you get me?
turalisj 11-23-04, 06:00 PM	i was just trying to be comical.... *walks away* *steps on a shield and slides down the stairs* AHHHHH HEELPP!! CRASH!!!! *lands upside down* see.....
Dyne 11-23-04, 06:08 PM	i was just trying to be comical.... *walks away* *steps on a shield and slides down the stairs* AHHHHH HEELPP!! CRASH!!!! *lands upside down* see..... A shady looking halfling picks up the shield and makes off with it, trying to conceal it with his cloak. :P Droga, you here yet? We gotta get this thing under way.
BronzeBeard 11-23-04, 06:20 PM	He's not, but I do :P
Droga 11-23-04, 06:22 PM	Alright, I'm here. IMed Orcy, so he should be showing up soon.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 06:24 PM	Alright, Orcy is up, Orcy is up. Ready when you are Orcy guesses.
Dyne 11-23-04, 06:34 PM	Ready. Let me get ahold of that online die roller.... EDIT: Droga, you can be Droga2 (or is it 3?). I'll be Helm1.
BronzeBeard 11-23-04, 06:36 PM	how about using this one instead? - Invisible Castle (http://invisiblecastle.com/index.php)
Dyne 11-23-04, 06:38 PM	Initiative: 21 EDIT: Wait, Droga, do you want to use cohorts? Mine is finished except for skills. But, could I use him anyway, and just assume he doesn't have any skill ranks?
Droga 11-23-04, 06:43 PM	Droga stalks into the arena, his claws digging into the ground as he moves. He smiles at the paladin. Taking up a place 80ft away from him, he stops and readies himself for battle. Initiative: 11 Edit: well, we never mentioned cohorts, so lets just go with us two.
Dyne 11-23-04, 06:51 PM	All right. I go first, then. The Knight of the Purple Dragons has come to the match in heavy armor, with a massive sword and shield on his back. He intends to destroy Droga, once and for all. Helm waits with his sword drawn and his shield ready. When Orcy gives the call, he moves forward toward Droga. Holding out his right gauntlet (and keeping his sword in that hand), he reveals a blue eye in the middle of it. Helm mutters a few words, and the eye begins to glow as a field seems to surround and protect the knight. Note to DM: I move forward 20 ft. and cast Protection from Evil.
Droga 11-23-04, 06:57 PM	Droga growls, his necklace flashes and he walks toward the holy knight. His claws seem to shrink a bit as moves. His jaws snap a few times as if taunting the knight to come and attack. He grins as he stops, his wicked grin spreading across his face. Moving up 40ft and activating my antimagic Torc, to put an antimagic shield 10ft around me. (bye bye smite :P)
Dyne 11-23-04, 07:01 PM	Helm closes the remaining distance of 20 ft. When he reaches Droga, he aims his mighty sword for a blow, but the blow is not aimed at the dark one, it is aimed at his necklace. Attack Roll: 37 (I believe that is enough to hit the necklace) Damage: 14 (assuming the attack hit) EDIT: I have a question. Is the Paladin's Smite Evil ability actually considered a spell-like ability? Let me look it up.... EDIT2: Smite Evil is a Supernatural ability, but Antimagic Fields block Supernatural abilities too.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 07:07 PM	Supernatural, which is blocked by antimagic fields. Orcy is currently trying to figure out an AC and such for a magic necklace...
Dyne 11-23-04, 07:18 PM	Supernatural, which is blocked by antimagic fields. Orcy is currently trying to figure out an AC and such for a magic necklace... Wait, how could such a necklace be "magic" if the field it gives out is "antimagic". :confused: Anyway, the Combat section says how to handle attacks against objects. First, Droga would get an AoO against me for my Sunder attempt. The AC would be 10 + size mod + Droga's Dex mod (reduced, since the antimagic field makes all magic items cease to function). EDIT: Also, what the heck is the necklace made of, Droga? We need to material to figure out Hardness and HP. EDIT: If it helps, Droga's Dex would go down by 2. The AC of the necklace would be 14 plus whatever its size modifier. But, I doubt it matters so much, since I don't know of any size that would grant a +23 size bonus to AC.
Droga 11-23-04, 07:25 PM	Droga will take his attack while we wait. Droga's claw lashed out at the paladin as he attempted to strike Droga's necklace. Attack: 36 (nat 20) Back-Up: 35 Damage: 33 The material isnt listed in the item description. But I would personally assume that it is probably going to be destroyed or left with 1 HP...
Dyne 11-23-04, 07:27 PM	What do you mean by "Back-Up". EDIT: Wait, did you just Crit me?
Droga 11-23-04, 07:30 PM	Yeah, it was a critical.
Dyne 11-23-04, 07:33 PM	33 is critical damage?! Man, that antimagic field hurt worse than I thought. (just pulling your leg) All right, I guess it's your turn, Droga.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 07:33 PM	Well, as far as Orcy can find, the necklace will be destroyed...
Droga 11-23-04, 07:42 PM	Droga takes a step back, growling at the paladin as his necklace lands on the ground in peices. He pulled a small metal sphere from his pocket. With the antimagic field gone, he hurled it at the paladin, growling as he did so. The ball tinked against the paladin's armor, bouncing a few inches off of him. Then wrapping around him and holding him fast. Bound and helpless. Droga laughed loudly, grinning at the helpless paladin. Throwing Iron Bands of Bilarro at Helm. Ranged touch attack: 25 DC 30 to break them with str. DC 30 to escape with an escape artist check.
Demonfey 11-23-04, 07:45 PM	Wow. There's more magic in this battle than with the battle that had a wizard.
Dyne 11-23-04, 07:49 PM	Helm grins at Droga. "You claim Dyne had no honor. Yet, at least he did not wrap his enemy in bands of iron. He was honorable. You simply seek to make your enemy helpless. What's the matter, do you fear me? If not, then fight me like a true warrior." Can't I attack the Iron Band of Bilarro?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 07:53 PM	Not unless you can make the DC 30 str check to get out of them. Then you could attack them all you wanted. But currently, all you can do is make a str check or escape artist check.
Dyne 11-23-04, 07:56 PM	Not unless you can make the DC 30 str check to get out of them. Then you could attack them all you wanted. But currently, all you can do is make a str check or escape artist check. My Str mod is +5. My Escape Artist mod is -5. I can't make either. So, Droga, if you have any honor, you will release me and fight me on equal ground. Otherwise, someone come up with an alternative so that I don't have to waddle around the arena until Droga finishes me off, simply because he purchased a certain item.
BronzeBeard 11-23-04, 08:07 PM	well, first look if you could break (str check) or slip throught (escape artist) the item. I f not I suggest that you drop your sword and take a small or tiny sharp object (anything could do) then start cutting the bonds of, and run around in circles. I know, it would be disgraceful but thats what you could do. I can't really thing of anything else. Another thing, if the bonds prove to be magical substance (i.e. magic not iron) than you should back away from Droga until the magic passes.
Demonfey 11-23-04, 08:08 PM	Should have bought a third eye. ;)
Droga 11-23-04, 08:09 PM	Droga stalks over to the paladin, pushing him to the ground and lauging. He smiles in the paladins face, spitting on him. "You have lost "holy" man. I battle honorably, I use what I must, and kill what I can. I have not surrenderd, I have not run. I have used that which I posess to destroy you. So now you will die. How does it feel to know you will die? How does it feel to know, that everything you are is about to be taken from this world? How does it feel to know that those you protect will lose that defence? Are you scared little swine?" Droga lifted his claw up above the Paladin. Stabbing it downward into his neck. Coup De Grace Damage: 57 Hes bound and held completely immobile. He cant attack the bands if he wanted to.
Dyne 11-23-04, 08:23 PM	well, first look if you could break (str check) or slip throught (escape artist) the item. I f not I suggest that you drop your sword and take a small or tiny sharp object (anything could do) then start cutting the bonds of, and run around in circles.

Another thing, if the bonds prove to be magical substance (i.e. magic not iron) than you should back away from Droga until the magic passes. As I have stated, it is literally impossible, even if I roll a natural 20, to break the bands or to escape them. And, I am immobile. Guys, I'm not one to be a sore loser, but this is ********. If I have to sit here and wait for Droga to coup de grace me over-and-over again until I'm dead, I'm quitting. As far as I see, Iron Bands of Bilarro are an instant death weapon for only 26,000. My sword cost 4 times that, and it doesn't compare. I'm not gonna wait for my character to die because of this. I'm out. EDIT: Wow, I've never been censored before.
Droga 11-23-04, 08:25 PM	Unless you can make a fort save of 67, you ARE dead.
Demonfey 11-23-04, 08:32 PM	:mymy: :noway: :OMG! : No character I have seen can make that!
Droga 11-23-04, 08:40 PM	Sorry Dyne, but to defeat a character specifically designed with the sole purpose of killing you in mind. You sometimes have to play dirty.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 08:49 PM	Orcy sighs, yet another death at the hands of Droga. He rose and pointed toward Droga. "The winner of the battle is Droga, no matter how much Orcy disagrees with his tactics." 50,000gp to Droga. The rest goes to... well. It would go to Dyne, as the leader of the dragons but Orcy guesses it will be to the Purple Dragons in general.
Dyne 11-23-04, 08:56 PM	Sorry Dyne, but to defeat a character specifically designed with the sole purpose of killing you in mind. You sometimes have to play dirty. Sure. But I didn't design my character for such. If any of you cared to notice, Helm always refers to himself as a Purple Dragon Knight, not a Paladin. I designed him around a Prestige Class I found in the Forgotten Realms. I just got the FRCS, and I thought the PrC was cool. So, I built my idea of the character. Since the Purple Dragons seem to be totally Lawful Neutral, I chose his deity to be Helm (who is also Lawful Neutral). Also, the Purple Dragons are the guardians and protectors or Cormyr, so Helm fit as a deity even more because he is the God of Protection. After flipping through the FRCS, I noticed a sidebar about Paladins. I saw Helm listed, so I checked it out. I saw that Paladins of Helm could multiclass freely as Fighters, Clerics, Arcane Devotees, Divine Champions, and Purple Dragon Knights. Having never heard of Paladins being able to multiclass before, and absolutely loving the Purple Dragon PrC, they were a perfect match to me. Especially since Paladins just happen to be one of my favorite classes. So, my character was first designed as a Purple Dragon Knight, then I decided to make him a Paladin, and then I saw that he could freely multiclass as a Divine Champion. So, I decided to make him a Divine Champion as well, since it totally fit my concept of the character (a Purple Dragon Knight who faithfully serves Helm as a Paladin). And so, my character's abilities at fighting evil grew to what he is now. But, my character was not designed to kill the character called Droga. If he was, I wouldn't have bothered with Purple Dragon Knight. I would have made him Paladin 15/ Divine Champion 5 since that would max out his Smite Evil and Smite Infidel abilities, and he would combine them for one very powerful attack, one that would likely destroy Droga in one round. Instead, my character was designed as a good leader. That's why I took Leadership and gave Leadership to his cohort. Now, I will not answer your Fortitude Saving throw because I find it totally ********************************** that one can purchase a single item for 26,000 gp that functions as an instant kill weapon. I think that such an item shouldn't be allowed because it totally destroys everyone's concept of balance. Just think, if Helm doesn't succeed in killing Droga, then someone else will, simply because they bought an Iron Band of Bilarro. Soon, arena combat will be a competition to see who can throw their Iron Band of Bilarro first, and whoever succeeds instantly wins (since I know of no one with a +10 Str mod or such a high Escape Artist). I am simply waiting for Orcy's response. If he allows such a thing to happen, then I'm out of the IFWG for good. I don't like using up a lot of the time out of my day to experience horrible loopholes in the rules. It isn't fun for me, and I have many more things to do. So, Orcy, what's your take? Does Droga succeed? EDIT: Damn stupid long post that took too long to get out. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Orcy, if that is your decision, then I'll respect it. Now, I'm off to get some work done while combat evolves to revolve around a single magic item. P.S. While I was getting to that Banghead smilie, I noticed that we now have new smilies. EDIT: I modified the most important part of the text to make certain Orcy sees it.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 09:14 PM	*sigh* Orcy hates being put on the spot like this. Never threaten him by saying that your going to leave the IFGW. Because really, that is your choice. Orcy cannot make that choice for you. So if you feel that one event is going to make you leave, go ahead. The Iron bands do indeed seem to be a one hit kill item. They are designed to trap an opponent, but can only be used once a day. They are indeed legal items from the DMG. However, Orcy does suppose that he should make some rules dealing with them and other one hit kill items. As Orcy has seen spiralburst bottles on Droga's cohort's list. So, Orcy will think up some rules dealing with these types of items. However, the current ruling will have to stand. Because a rule developed after the fact cannot apply to something that has happened before it. But Orcy will do one thing for you... "Because of the unforseen use of items that give no chance to a combatant, and rules that are yet to come. Orcy has decided to return to the Knight known as Helm his life." Orcy appears over the body of Helm. Casting a spell over him, his life is returned with no other consequences than the loss of some wealth. Orcy hopes that helps, he really didn't think of items like that when he set up the arena. There will be rules ready in the future to deal with this sort of thing.

Orcy hopes that helps, he really didn't think of items like that when he set up the arena. There will be rules ready in the future to deal with this sort of thing. It doesn't help that much. Droga still got free gold for using the item like that. And it would only let him buy more items like that. But, nevermind that for now. It's not quite as important. I was not threatening to leave the IFWG simply because my character died. My characters have died before. It is because arena combat is destined to evolve around this one magic item. If things would continue as such, combat would only be determined by this one magic item and Escape Artist (since it's totally impossible to have such a high Strength). This would give Rogue's a huge advantage, and it would be pointless to choose any other kind of class because they would face nothing but disadvantages. I don't see how any adjustments could be made to make the Iron Bands better. They could only be turned into a less effective instant kill weapon. Same problem, just not quite as big. IMHO, it should just be banned outright. Thank you, Orcy, for being a decent guy.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 09:23 PM	Orcy has never said that he will not ban them. But he would like options open first before getting rid of things like that. So, Orcy will see what he can do before banning things.
Dyne 11-23-04, 09:45 PM	"Droga, this is not finished. You can not be tolerated any longer. You have proven yourself to be a dishonorable monster with nothing but death in your fate. I will not allow you to kill again. Fight me, face to face, on equal ground." This was never finished. I still intend to finish the fight against Droga.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 09:51 PM	Orcy shakes is head. "This battle is over, if you wish to battle again, you will have to wait. Orcy suggests you return to your guilds and rest before continuing combat." You need to eh... adjust your equipment Dyne. Yer down to 150,000, since Droga got 1/4 of it.
Frostbite_Ravenheart 11-23-04, 09:54 PM	I don't want to sound like a prick Dyne but "If you don't like the heat stay out of the kitchen" You were killed twice. Twice. It took me about seven days of constantly killing and torturing a stupid kid in my game who was invited but somone who left a month ago. None of us had the balls to step up and say "Look kid..." Granted he was a little stupider than you were but just stay with us. You entered into combat against the same person. All this is really saying is that, that person has a beter grasp at character devlopment than you. While I do admit what Droga did *was* a little unfair...building a character for the sole reason to counter the tactics he knew you would use after knowing all your stats. I do think magic items should be *regulated.* But don't quit anything. You step into the arena and expect to die...thats what you go there for. If you won everytime not only would other people get ****** but you wouldn't have fun. Our wrestling coach does this to us - He pairs us up against the most impossible of people...not impossible people but rather people that he knows can win against you but is only a little bit stronger than you. We get our asses kicked but it motivates us. Take this as motivation. Now don't run off and go build a character to kill Droga but if you want to enter into the Arena again...prehaps you should focus a little less on roleplaying is all I'm trying to see I guess. And shame on you...you should have expected such a low thing from such an evil creature like Droga ;). -Frosty
Dyne 11-23-04, 09:56 PM	Orcy shakes is head. "This battle is over, if you wish to battle again, you will have to wait. Orcy suggests you return to your guilds and rest before continuing combat." You need to eh... adjust your equipment Dyne. Yer down to 150,000, since Droga got 1/4 of it. How about this. Seeing their leaders fallen state, the Purple Dragons of Cormyr donate their wealth to their great leader. For, if he is killed, their order would be no more. He needs all the help they can give him, and they are willing to lend it to him until he can pay them back. I have 74 men under my command. It's more than enough to cover my loss. After Droga is slain, I will use some of the winnings to pay back my men. Droga, be here tomorrow at the same time, 11:00 pm GMT.
Xen155 11-23-04, 09:56 PM	With respect Frostbite, I dont think anybody should begin a fight Expecting to die. And Dyne has stated clearly he did not create a character to Kill Droga.
Dyne 11-23-04, 09:58 PM	With respect Frostbite, I dont think anybody should begin a fight Expecting to die. And Dyne has stated clearly he did not create a character to Kill Droga. After seeing Droga's ****, Helm will not rest until Droga is dead. But, that is what Droga brought upon himself. EDIT: Change of time for next battle. The FINAL battle between Helm Dundragon and Droga will commence on: Wednesday at 12:00 pm GMT.
Demonfey 11-23-04, 10:21 PM	This is why I don't have my characters fight. Issues arise.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 10:22 PM	That and the fact the main character you use shouldnt be used? Since hes what? ECL 23? Orcy would have to say that isnt following rules. ;)
Dyne 11-23-04, 10:23 PM	Orcy, I would like to propose a new rule for the arena until you work out the things with the Iron Bands of Belarro: No items or spells are allowed that prevent another character from being able to take any action. No items or spells are allowed that instantly kill another character. That, for now, would work to prevent instant kill weapons like what Droga just used on me.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-23-04, 10:26 PM	Orcy will decide on this Dyne. He has said so already, so please stop pressing the matter. Orcy will work something out, don't worry about it. There will be rules in place by tomorrow. Which Orcy isn't even sure if Droga will show up to your propposed battle. Since it seems to be more of an order than a challenge.
Dyne 11-23-04, 10:33 PM	Orcy will decide on this Dyne. He has said so already, so please stop pressing the matter. Orcy will work something out, don't worry about it. There will be rules in place by tomorrow. Which Orcy isn't even sure if Droga will show up to your propposed battle. Since it seems to be more of an order than a challenge. I was just making certain he didn't use anything else similar. (I heard you mention Spiral Blast Bottles) I am not ordering Droga. I have already challenged Droga to a fight, and I have yet to receive a fair battle with him. Today was not finished, and I'm certain he wants to finish it as well. By-the-way, I don't hate the user called Droga, my character just hates his character.
BronzeBeard 11-24-04, 07:27 AM	Your character may be hating Droga but it had passed the hate into you. You should try to hear yourself - you're possesed, acting as if killing Droga is the ultimate goal you must fullfil. I suggest you to take your time. regroup and stuff. As about that one Item kill - toughf, but it is a 100% legitimate. Besides, if you're willing (and prepared) to kill your opponent in battle then you should be ready for your own death. The rules you suggest are not fair since those oppose the D&D rules. The only thing you could do is defining along with Droga that magic items are not useable during the match, that's it.
ChaosEvoker 11-24-04, 09:52 AM	Hmm, I thought it was obvious Dyne was playing in character, I do no think the hate has passed on to him.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-24-04, 03:54 PM	Orcy is thinking about a round limit on the "one hit kill" type of items. A certain number of rounds must pass before they can be used. This would of course give an advantage to those of you who can use invisibility... but thats already a massive advantage on it's own. Hmmm... Orcy is considering somwhere around 1d4+4 rounds perhaps. He still isnt quite sure yet...
turalisj 11-24-04, 04:18 PM	orcy, could you send some monsters for me to "break in my teeth with". oh, and when i eventualy face droga, if he uses any foul play then i will use my orb of storms. plus i have a breath attack, so the iron bands wouldnt completly stop me..... :D i have this one worked out better than the last.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-24-04, 04:23 PM	The arena is for player VS player combat. Not for monsters. Everyone seems to be forgetting that Orcy has posted rules on the first topic concerning combat. You do NOT have to fight to the death. You can battle someone till one is knocked out. You decide on the reward before the battle, perhaps wagering something against another something. Then, you fight. The winner gets exp and whatever the prize agreed upon was. It is not require that you even wager anything, you could simply fight for the exp...
turalisj 11-24-04, 04:31 PM	well, then anyone up for fighting a psychic warrior?
BronzeBeard 11-24-04, 04:50 PM	well, then anyone up for fighting a psychic warrior? I do. But only for Xp and not right now since I need, still to buy my equipment. And I will fight ti the knockout (I am not willing to loose my character just yet).
turalisj 11-24-04, 05:04 PM	ok. i'll be waiting.
BronzeBeard 11-24-04, 05:15 PM	ok. i'll be waiting. When is the best time for you? 1 vs. 1 or should we bring friends? I will fight only for knockout, is that OK? Do you want some kind of bet? raise or whatever?
turalisj 11-24-04, 05:31 PM	hmm, how about loser gives up thier most powerfull item. in my case it would be the orb of storms.
BronzeBeard 11-24-04, 05:38 PM	hmm, how about loser gives up thier most powerfull item. in my case it would be the orb of storms. In my case it would be the Orb of Corruption. And I'm not willing to loose that, yet. Besides, you haven't answered me yet: When is the best time for you? 1 vs. 1 or should we bring friends? I will fight only for knockout, is that OK? Do you want some kind of bet? raise or whatever? Furthermore: Orcy, what are the rules regarding phsicy?
turalisj 11-24-04, 05:54 PM	no allies. 1 vs 1 only. psicrystals do not count since they cant really attack. knockout is fine. the most powerfull item will be forfited from the loser.
Droga 11-24-04, 07:10 PM	He already said that he doesnt wanna put up his most powerful item. Now, was I supposed to kill someone today?
Dyne 11-24-04, 07:29 PM	He already said that he doesnt wanna put up his most powerful item. Now, was I supposed to kill someone today? Are you ready to fight? My character, Helm, is anxious to resolve this. After using the Iron Bands of Bilarro, he regards you as somewhat of a nemesis.
Droga 11-24-04, 07:32 PM	I suppose we can go for it. Theres no GM around right now though I don't believe. So we'll have to take care of stuff on our own.
Dyne 11-24-04, 07:37 PM	I suppose we can go for it. Theres no GM around right now though I don't believe. So we'll have to take care of stuff on our own. All right. How are we gonna handle those Iron Bands of Bilarro of yours? Orcy was coming with rules for them. As they are, IMHO they are WAY overpowered.
Droga 11-24-04, 07:40 PM	I wont use them, but this will have to happen later. Headin to the mall, just came up. So... I SHALL SLAY YOU...again! uh... later ;)
Dyne 11-24-04, 07:43 PM	I wont use them, but this will have to happen later. Headin to the mall, just came up. So... I SHALL SLAY YOU...again! uh... later ;) Allright, later then. In the meantime, I'll be searching around for stuff to help me in the fight. When are you gonna be back, anyway? I'm on break right now, so I could probably stay on all day.
Dyne 11-24-04, 08:13 PM	Hmmm. Droga's gone. Well, I'll just use smilies to entertain myself until he gets back. :plotting: => Helm planning for battle :lightbulb => Helm thinking up ideas for items to use in battle :evillaugh => Droga :cheer: :w00t: => People cheering on their champion in battle :angelhide => What the Guild of Ultimate Evil thinks of Helm :rant: :censored: :tantrum: :headexplo :banghead: :hoppingma :twitch: => Helm's reaction to being bound by the Iron Bands of Bilarro

turalisj 11-24-04, 08:26 PM	ya, me. but this will just be a freindly fight since helm and turalisj are allies. so, knockout only, ok?
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-24-04, 08:28 PM	I haven''t had a fight before, but is it possible to do a "training" fight between us even though we're on the same side? To a KO of course, I don't wanna' kill my commander accidentally ;) . When you're done with Turalisj, of course.
Dyne 11-24-04, 08:29 PM	ya, me. but this will just be a freindly fight since helm and turalisj are allies. so, knockout only, ok? Of couse! Why would Helm want to kill off one of his allies? Right now, the only one he really wants to fight in a deathmatch with is Droga. But, Helm now totally hates Droga, so.... All right, let's go Turalisj. I already rolled my Initiative. Initiative: 5 By-the-way, my username for this fight at the die roller is Helm2.

Erm, I mean Non-Lethal Damage, for those of you who play 3.5 (gotta get 3.0 outta my mind). EDIT: By-the-way, I don't really think there should be a wager for this one. This is just a fight for fun, no losses if you lose.

Dyne 11-24-04, 10:38 PM	It looks like Chosen left. Anyone want to fight? I'm still here. But, I don't want to fight to the death or anything. If you want to wager something, fine. I just want to do something to pass the time.

Demonfey 11-24-04, 10:54 PM	CotDS, roll initiative. Demonfey, isn't that a Flame Brand you just described? There wasn't a flame brand, but there was a flame tongue. It shot out a beam of fire, and that ended its powers.

Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-24-04, 11:06 PM	Sorry I wasn't here, I was helping my dad cook for Thanksgiving, so I was gone for a half hour. I'll watch Droga and Dyne duke it out now though.
Droga 11-24-04, 11:19 PM	Alrighty then. User: Droga4 Init: 27 I shall begin. Droga stalks into the arena, stopping at the usual 80ft. He flaps his wings, launching himself into the air. He pulls a bead off his necklace and hurls it to the ground. A bright flash occurs and standing where the bead hit stands a Vrock. Which promplty lifts its head into the air and screaches loudly. Moving up and toward Helm about 60ft, pulling a bead from my necklace of demons and summoning a Vrock with it. The Vrock is using its stunning screach. DC 22 or be stunned for a round
Dyne 11-24-04, 11:31 PM	Is that a Fort save? If so, Fort: 34.
Droga 11-24-04, 11:37 PM	Yeah it was, so its your turn.
Dyne 11-24-04, 11:37 PM	How far away from me is that Vrock?
Droga 11-24-04, 11:39 PM	About 30ft, just within range of its ability.
Dyne 11-24-04, 11:43 PM	About 30ft, just within range of its ability. And just out of range of me from being able to attack him. Helm stands unwavering in spite of the Vrock's shrill screaching. He is not the slightest bit shaken, and he ignores the beast, foraging in his pack until he finds a potion or somesuch, and he pours it on himself. I get out a Salve of Slipperiness and apply it to myself (+20 Escape Artist, in case you get any bright ideas about those Iron Bands). That's my turn. Bring it.
Droga 11-24-04, 11:57 PM	The vrock moves quickly to the knight. Swinging its claw at him as it approaches. Meanwhile Droga moves down toward him. Slashing at him from a safe 10ft distance above his head. His large claw swinging down at the holy man. Vrock Attack: 34 Vrock Damage: 13 Droga Attack: 25
Dyne 11-25-04, 12:07 AM	Helm is hit by the Vrock, but he displays no signs of pain. He easily dodges Droga's claw attack and counters the Vrock's attack with three quick, consecutive sword strikes. Attack1: 32 Attack2: 38 Attack3: 17 Damage1: 20 Damage2: 22 42 damage, which brings him to... 73 HP.
Droga 11-25-04, 12:20 AM	The vrock hisses and swings again at Helm. It slashes bites, and scratches at him with different parts of its body. Droga growls at his miss, slashing once with each claw. Staying in the air but moving toward the knights back about 5ft. Vrock: all below 30 Droga1: 32 Droga2: 35 Damage1: 24 Damage2: 29 Vrock Rounds: 9
Dyne 11-25-04, 12:30 AM	Droga, that is some crap. If I can't hit you, then it's pointless for me to fight. So, get your butt down. Helm dodges and weaves past all the Vrock's attacks. Several are near hits, but none manage to cause damage. Droga reaches out with his claws, raking the Knight's shoulders. Helm stumbles, but holds his ground. He channels energy into his sword, and unleashes another series of blows on the Vrock. I use Smite Evil with a full attack. Attack1: 49 Attack2: 35 Attack3: 25 Damage1: 24 Damage2: 18 Damage3: 21 Total: 63 damage.
Dyne 11-25-04, 12:32 AM	Wait, if I'm not mistaken, you CAN'T hover with only an Average fly.
Dyne 11-25-04, 12:44 AM	Well, Droga, you have to rethink your strategy. You can't hover 10 ft. above me with only an Average maneuverability. Unless, of course, you have the Hover feat (which, looking at your stats, you don't). So, 53 points of damage I wouldn't have received. I would have gotten only 13 damage from the Vrock, so far.
Droga 11-25-04, 12:46 AM	Hm... probably right so... I'll take care of that this round. I did move 5ft tho... probably not enough. Droga landed behind the knight in a round aobout movement to avoid his blade. Slashing at him from behind while the Vrock went into its mass of attacks once more. Spores spreading out from its body at the same time. Spore damage: 7 Vrock attacks: 2 hit Vrock Damage: 13 Vrock Damage2: 13 Droga Attack1: 32 Droga Attack2: 38 Droga Damage1: 32 Droga Damage2: 22 Edit: Then take the second attack away, I would have moved and swung back around to you to still take the first swing. So take the first half of the attack's damage. Making it 37 so far.
Dyne 11-25-04, 12:55 AM	Helm obviously suffers from the damage, but he attacks in a flurry, striking the Vrock dead and aiming two blows for Droga, both of which miss. Attack1 vs. Vrock: 33 Damage: 29 (which would bring it to -19, e.g. dead) Smite Evil Infidel vs. Droga: 30 (MISS?!) Attack3 vs. Droga: 21 (miss)
Dyne 11-25-04, 12:56 AM	Edit: Then take the second attack away, I would have moved and swung back around to you to still take the first swing. So take the first half of the attack's damage. Making it 37 so far. Huh? By-the-way, I just realized that you couldn't have made 2 attacks, if that's what you're saying. Since you moved more than 5 ft., you would have made only one attack, dealing 32 damage to Helm.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 12:59 AM	Sorry to interupt, but I believe a 5 ft. step does allow for a full attack. Then again, its not really a step...
Droga 11-25-04, 01:00 AM	The Vrock falls the the ground, its body dissipating and fading away. Droga laughs, bringing another two slashes down on the Knight. He laughs loudly as he swings with his mighty claws. Take away the second attack last time, I forgot I had moved by the time I got to my attacks. Sorry about that... all them Vrock attacks made me mess up a bit. Droga Attack1: 21 Droga Attack2: 22 Both misses...
Demonfey 11-25-04, 01:02 AM	Now THIS is what an arena match should be!
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:03 AM	Sorry to interupt, but I believe a 5 ft. step does allow for a full attack. Then again, its not really a step... Yes, a 5 ft. step allows a full attack. But, Droga was more than 5 ft. from the ground. He was at least 10 ft. from the ground, possibly more since he wasn't hovering. I'm just assuming he took flight, circling around while me and the Vrock duked it out. When the Vrock was about to kick the can, he flew down, landed, and slashed me with one of his claws.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 01:06 AM	Now THIS is what an arena match should be! I agree whole-heartedly.
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:10 AM	The Vrock falls the the ground, its body dissipating and fading away. Droga laughs, bringing another two slashes down on the Knight. He laughs loudly as he swings with his mighty claws. Take away the second attack last time, I forgot I had moved by the time I got to my attacks. Sorry about that... all them Vrock attacks made me mess up a bit. Droga Attack1: 21 Droga Attack2: 22 Both misses... That's allright. I mess up sometimes too. By-the-way, roll damage again for the spores. Helm dodges both of Droga's swipes with ease. He then swings another 3 quick slashes at Droga with his sword, 2 of which strike Droga severely. Attack1: 42 (hit) Attack2: 37 (hit) Attack3: 27 (miss) Damage1: 27 Damage2: 21 Total: 48 damage this round.
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:15 AM	Now THIS is what an arena match should be! It is, isn't it? THIS is what I have been wanting: to fight on fair and equal ground. It makes the game more exciting when either combatant could win.
Droga 11-25-04, 01:19 AM	Droga hisses, stepping back and slamming another bead between himself and Helm. From the bead springs yet another Vrock. This one promptly goes to work slashing, biting and scratching. Spores rising up around its body. Vrock Attack1: 25 Vrock attack2: 28 Vrock Attack3: 14 Vrock Attack4: 30 Vrock Attack5: 22 Spore1 damage: 1 Spore2 Damage: 4
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 01:20 AM	Droga: how many beads ya' got on that thing?
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:23 AM	Droga hisses, stepping back and slamming another bead between himself and Helm. From the bead springs yet another Vrock. This one promptly goes to work slashing, biting and scratching. Spores rising up around its body. Vrock Attack1: 25 Vrock attack2: 28 Vrock Attack3: 14 Vrock Attack4: 30 Vrock Attack5: 22 Spore1 damage: 1 Spore2 Damage: 4 Helm easily dodges all the Vrock's attacks. He dodges and weaves, moving around the Vrock and swing a blow at Droga, who narrowly dodges it. I move around the Vrock and attack Droga. Roll an AoO for the Vrock. Attack5 vs. Droga: 33 (BARELY misses)
Droga 11-25-04, 01:23 AM	A few my boy... a few. ;)
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:26 AM	Just a thought: is the Vrock's Spore attack considered a disease? Or does Remove Disease stop it for some other reason? I ask because my Paladin is immune to disease (Divine Health).
Droga 11-25-04, 01:27 AM	I think stuff that gets foreign agents out of the body stops them. Thats about it. So... I wouldnt consider it a disease.
Demonfey 11-25-04, 01:29 AM	Let me check... Here we go! Their spores apparently act as poison. If you are immune to poison, then you are covered. It also says remove disease works, and that a sprinkling of holy water gets rid of them. Anything else you want to know now, while I have my MM3.5 out?
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 01:31 AM	A few my boy... a few. ;) No, seriously, you need to say, so everyone knows you aren't B.S.ing. No offense, I'm not saying I expect you to lie, it's just that if I was Dyne I'd wanna' know you hadn't just decided that this thing had 20+ beads.
Droga 11-25-04, 01:32 AM	Its in the BoVD, look it up. Necklace of Demons.
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:33 AM	No, seriously, you need to say, so everyone knows you aren't B.S.ing. No offense, I'm not saying I expect you to lie, it's just that if I was Dyne I'd wanna' know you hadn't just decided that this thing had 20+ beads. It doesn't matter so much. This will be over before he can use all of those beads.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 01:36 AM	Its in the BoVD, look it up. Necklace of Demons. Sigh, now I wish I had bought that book... Oh, well, I guess it doesn't really matter. And in case you took it the wrong way, I wasn't saying that I thought you were lying. I'm just paranoid. :shifty:
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:39 AM	"Droga, your doom is inevitable. Quit stalling by throwing these ridiculous birds in my way. They can do nothing to save you."
Droga 11-25-04, 01:40 AM	It is your turn ya know? EDIT: Whoops... guess not
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:44 AM	It is your turn ya know? EDIT: Whoops... guess not Hey, I'll take an extra turn if you want to give me one. :D I'm still waiting for an AoO from your Vrock (since I conveniently walked around it), and then it's your turn.
Droga 11-25-04, 01:49 AM	The Vrock swings at the knight as he moves to pass it. Then, afterward, it takes a step to place itself behind him. Droga moving to the opposite side. Both of them begin slashing and swinging at the Knight. Droga growling at him as he swings. 5ft steps for both and attacks. Vrock Attacks: 1 hit Vrock Damage: 7 Droga Attack1: 32 Droga Attack2: 28 Droga Damage1: 29 DOH! AOO: 30 (miss) Spore Damage1: 1 Spore Damage2: 2
Demonfey 11-25-04, 01:51 AM	So, whose health is at what now?
Dyne 11-25-04, 01:55 AM	Helm takes a serious blow from Droga. He falls to one knee from the pain and force of the blow. He then clasps his hands together, and makes no violent movements. I use my Lay on Hands ability to heal myself (33 hp from Paladin and Divine Champion). Droga and the Vrock are on one side of me, yes? Well, then, I just stand my ground. EDIT: Aw, ****, you're flanking me. Man, I would have moved out of it.
Droga 11-25-04, 02:04 AM	The Vrock begins its onslaught of attacks from its position opposite Helm. Droga does the same, slashing at the knight with his mighty claws. Roaring loudly as he does so. Vrock Attacks: 2 hits Vrock Damage1: 15 Vrock Damage2: 10 Droga Attack: 31 Droga Damage: 33 Spore Damage1: 1 Spore Damage2: 3
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:06 AM	Hold on, I have to do some calculations for my HP. I am at: -1 HP (because I didn't notice you were flanking me).
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:14 AM	Go ahead and finish me, Droga. I have (does some quick calculations) at least 146 men to avenge me, and that's counting the Purple Dragons alone. :D
Droga 11-25-04, 02:18 AM	Droga raises his massive claw up into the air. Bringing it down into Helm's chest. He roars, laughing loudly as he peirces his chest. Afterward, he steps on the knights chest. Laughing and raising his bloody claw into the air. "The knight has fallen! I have yet again prooved that I am superior to you beings. Who will be next to be slain?" You took money from your cohorts right? So I would get the full 50k from the win?
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:19 AM	Yes. You get the full 50k.
Sssargoth 11-25-04, 02:21 AM	I thought this battle was to the unconciousness.......
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:22 AM	I thought this battle was to the unconciousness....... Nope, it was to the death. Droga only fights in deathmatches. EDIT: Droga, you're lucky, I forgot to use a few of my special abilities. Helm had the Divine Wrath and Oath of Wrath abilities. Divine Wrath would have given me +3 Attack, +3 Damage, and +3 saving throws for 3 rounds, as well as DR 5/-. Oath of Wrath would have given me +2 Attack, +2 Damage, +2 Saves, and +2 Skill checks for the duration of the battle. They might have been enough to turn the tide of the battle. As I understand it, you were only at 55 HP at the end. A few more hits might have taken you down. (gotta quit forgetting stuff like this) Anyway, good fight. Now, I'm off to create a new character. I was thinking on making him the son of Helm Dundragon, and let him keep the same cohorts as Helm. Helm took a lot of money from the followers, so they left, but Helm's son could gather new ones. I'm gonna make him similar to Helm, but with a different approach to combat.
Droga 11-25-04, 02:29 AM	Yep, 55 HP. I need to get to sleep now. Good fight, it gets more interesting every time. Hope the next character doesnt pop up screaming for revenge...
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:31 AM	Yep, 55 HP. I need to get to sleep now. Good fight, it gets more interesting every time. Hope the next character doesnt pop up screaming for revenge... Can't guarantee that. You DID, afterall, kill his father. ;)
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:40 AM	A man in a purple hooded cloak enters the arean pit. He walks over to the fallen body of Helm, and he looks at him for a moment. The figure then kneels down and picks up Helm's corpse and carries him out of the arena.
BronzeBeard 11-25-04, 02:44 AM	no allies. 1 vs 1 only. psicrystals do not count since they cant really attack. knockout is fine. the most powerfull item will be forfited from the loser. you think so? My most powerfull item is my weapon and it's about nearly as 100,000 gp in pure cost. I just as well kill you and get on with it... I'm shearching for a 'trainee' fight, not a "you lost, I'm superior" one.
Droga 11-25-04, 02:45 AM	Ya know, I just realized I should have been fighting you at level 16. Anyway... so everyone knows. I have reached level 16. Thank you for all your help ;)
Sssargoth 11-25-04, 02:50 AM	I'm shearching for a 'trainee' fight, not a "you lost, I'm superior" one. I'm game with that. Lets see, whichpowers do I have......... *sees people looking at him wierd* I'm a psionic red dragon. shut up. Edit: I just remembered, I'm not going to be on-line for a few days, so that isn't going to work. Maby in 3 or 4 days we can.
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:51 AM	Ya know, I just realized I should have been fighting you at level 16. Anyway... so everyone knows. I have reached level 16. Thank you for all your help ;) Heh. I'll catch up, as soon as I can stop losing characters (or levels). Anyway, I'm off to make a new character (which I actually enjoy, since I'm a DM).
Dyne 11-25-04, 02:53 AM	I'm game with that. Lets see, whichpowers do I have......... *sees people looking at him wierd* I'm a psionic red dragon. shut up. :uh-huh: :blink:

turalisj 11-25-04, 08:30 PM	it's pummeling time!!!! this fight will be knockout only. no gold will be lost, but the winner will still get exp. edit: initiative-22 rolls under the name of turalisj3
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 08:45 PM	Sorry, I was doin' something. Initiative roll under CotDS Got a 10, you're first.
Dyne 11-25-04, 08:47 PM	A man in a purple hooded cloak walks into the stadium. He has come to watch his allies spar, to see how well they do. It is vital that they be prepared when the time comes for war.
Droga 11-25-04, 08:49 PM	Droga rises from the shadows. Standing at the edge of the stands toward the arena floor. Watching the fight from his elevated position. It was time to see how well these little swine could fight. After all, it was best to know one's enemy, so one could kill them that much easier later.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 08:50 PM	I'm currently using the motivate attack major aura, and the over the top as minor.
turalisj 11-25-04, 08:58 PM	turalisj raises his blade as he lets out a draconic battle cry and charges straight towards the other half dragon.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 09:01 PM	Keld holds his greatsword loosley in front of him, andbarks the command that sets the sword aflame. Time for some fryin'.
turalisj 11-25-04, 09:05 PM	rols results (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp) i believe i put a big dent in your hitpoints.
Xen155 11-25-04, 09:08 PM	rols results (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp) i believe i put a big dent in your hitpoints. Dude, say what you did first, then post the attack rolls and damage.
Dyne 11-25-04, 09:10 PM	Turalisj, the only roll I see that you made is for Initiative.
Droga 11-25-04, 09:11 PM	Turalisj, are you still adding attack bonus to damage like we've told you not to many many times? Since if you arent, I don't know how the hell you have a +29 to damage.
turalisj 11-25-04, 09:12 PM	Dude, say what you did first, then post the attack rolls and damage. i did. i said i charged and i did 34 damage. keld is now at 54 hp. and that isnt applying the damage from the magic damage of my mighty blade.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 09:12 PM	Son of a... Alright then, Sticking his greatsword out front Keld strikes twice, both misses. Your AC is too frikkin' high!
turalisj 11-25-04, 09:15 PM	Turalisj, are you still adding attack bonus to damage like we've told you not to many many times? Since if you arent, I don't know how the hell you have a +29 to damage. my sword does +11 damage. and that is w/out my strength mod. with the mod it does 23. then apply the charge mod and you have +25 damage. all the rolls are under turalisj3.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 09:16 PM	Wait a moment I just realized that you can't have AC 36! Your natural armor bonuses don't stack, and only the highest on counts! so your AC is 27! So I hit you both times!
Droga 11-25-04, 09:16 PM	Somone needs to check over Turalisj's character. He stacked to items of natural armor on top of the natural armor he already has from being a half dragon. Not to mention he doesnt know what hes doing for damage. How long have you been playing anyway Turalisj? Edit: There is no bonus to damage from charge.
turalisj 11-25-04, 09:16 PM	Son of a... Alright then, Sticking his greatsword out front Keld strikes twice, both misses. Your AC is too frikkin' high! no, i just spent alot of gold(about half) on armor increasing items.
Droga 11-25-04, 09:18 PM	Which arent even right... seriously, someone needs to check his character over. I would but I don't have the time right now, nor would he trust me to do so.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 09:22 PM	I have dealt since I hit you both times (rolls)... 40 damage total, you now are at 60 hp. :D
Dyne 11-25-04, 09:31 PM	I would, but I have no idea what the stats are for his sword. Turalisj, how the heck did you add +12 Strength mod? I just saw your Strength, and it is NOT that high. You Strength would have to be 34-35 to have a +12 mod.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 09:34 PM	Yes, only even numbers add to your modifier, so you have +5, one lower than me. Since you are using a 2 handed weapon, it is +7 damage, not +12.
Dyne 11-25-04, 09:38 PM	Yes, only even numbers add to your modifier, so you have +6 just like me. Since you are using a 2 handed weapon, it is +9 damage, not +12 Actually, his Str is only 20 (+5 mod). So, with a two-handed weapon, that would be +7 to damage from Str. And I have no idea where the +11 came from. EDIT: I think Turalisj is supposed to have 80 HP, not 100 HP. We're using averages for Hit Dice rolls, and since a Psychic Warrior's HD is d8, that's 4 HP + Con mod per level. Add on 3 from Toughness, and it comes out 80.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 09:41 PM	Where is turalisj?
Dyne 11-25-04, 09:56 PM	Where is turalisj? Looks like he left. Turalisj, there are some things about your character that need to be worked out. Some of the things don't add up, so we need you to spell it all out to us your bonuses to damage and such. Chosen, if Turalisj doesn't come back, I'll do a practice fight with Bren (my new character).
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 10:05 PM	Alright, Dyne, you're on. By the way, I am making a backup character in case I suddenly decide to fight Droga. My new character is a fighter 8/ dwarven defender 7, and due to his armor and defender abilities, he has DR 6/-, plus his weapon is holy brilliant-energy.
Dyne 11-25-04, 10:07 PM	Alright, Dyne, you're on. By the way, I am making a backup character in case I suddenly decide to fight Droga. My new character is a fighter 8/ dwarven defender 7, and due to his armor and defender abilities, he has DR 6/-, plus his weapon is holy brilliant-energy. Or you could just get your character Cloned by Demonfey. :D Initiative: 11 (I'm using the username BrenP1) EDIT: You do realize that Brilliant Energy weapons are useless against Undead, right? If your main weapon is Brilliant Energy, you should get a back-up weapon just-in-case.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 10:09 PM	Initiative 10, you go first. I am listed as CotDS.
Dyne 11-25-04, 10:18 PM	A man in plate mail enters the arena. He has a white surcoat with the royal crest of Cormyr on his chest, and he has a purple hooded cloak around his shoulders. He has a calm, yet strong posture as he takes his place in the pit. The man called Bren then places his helmet on his head, a metal visored-helmet with a purple plume, and he draws his sword and readies his shield. When the pit lord calls the battle to start, he heads toward his opponent with a steady stride. I use a double move to close the distance by 40 ft. We are now 40 ft. apart.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 10:19 PM	EDIT: You do realize that Brilliant Energy weapons are useless against Undead, right? If your main weapon is Brilliant Energy, you should get a back-up weapon just-in-case. I do have a mace as backup, yes.
Dyne 11-25-04, 10:22 PM	CotDS, for your HP, we count all Hit Dice rolls as average rolls. This means that every d8 counts as being a 4. So, I think your HP are supposed to be 88.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 10:25 PM	I am using the same auras as when I was fighting tsuralj. With a savage growl, Keld charges Bren, greatsword swinging, and misses. I charge, get a 25, and miss. I have a AC of 25 till my next action. :(
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 10:26 PM	CotDS, for your HP, we count all Hit Dice rolls as average rolls. This means that every d8 counts as being a 4. So, I think your HP are supposed to be 88. No, I did use averages. With a d8, every odd number is 4 and every even number is 5.
turalisj 11-25-04, 10:29 PM	um, im still fighting, you realize this dont you? oh, and my ac is 33, i was in a rush and didnt get to re-check all of my stats when i was making my character :embarrass how were you able to make 2 attacks?
Dyne 11-25-04, 10:33 PM	No, I did use averages. With a d8, every odd number is 4 and every even number is 5. I think we're using the method described in the DMG in which each Hit Die is worth a fixed amount. In the DMG, it describes d4's as equalling 2, d6's as equalling 3, d8's as equalling 4, d10's as equalling 5, and d12's as equalling 6. I'm not totally sure, though. I'll have to ask Sil. Bren easily dodges Keld's attack. He then counters with a series of strikes from his sword, "Justice", which belonged to his father. Keld is hit three times, struggling to stay standing from the force of the blows. Attack1: 42 Attack2: 40 Attack3: 33 All three hit. Damage1: 17 Damage2: 14 Damage3: 20 Total of 51 damage.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 10:38 PM	um, im still fighting, you realize this dont you? oh, and my ac is 33, i was in a rush and didnt get to re-check all of my stats when i was making my character :embarrass how were you able to make 2 attacks? I never took any steps. You came to me. Sorry but we're having a different fight now, since you didn't post for so long. You can face winner. Keld strikes back. I miss twice again. :( It keeps rolling REALLY low.
Dyne 11-25-04, 10:43 PM	I never took any steps. You came to me. Sorry but we're having a different fight now, since you didn't post for so long. You can face winner. Keld strikes back. I miss twice again. :( It keeps rolling REALLY low. Not really. Your attack bonus just isn't high enough. Bren blocks Keld's two attacks with his shield. He then strikes back with his sword. Attack1: 46 Attack2: 37 Attack3: 26 (miss) Damage1: 12 Damage2: 17 EDIT: Actually, it hasn't been rolling too well for you. Anyway, you would have to roll at least a 14 to hit me. I only have to roll above a 1 for my 1st, a 5 for my 2nd, and a 10 for my 3rd attack.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 10:53 PM	Keld strikes and misses twice again. No, seriously, I haven't gotten anything higher than a 7 except for a 13. That, and I am a support character.
Dyne 11-25-04, 10:59 PM	Keld strikes and misses twice again. No, seriously, I haven't gotten anything higher than a 7 except for a 13. That, and I am a support character. Bren blocks one strike with his sword, the other bounces of his armor. "Let's finish this," he says, and he aims a finishing blow toward Keld. The blow strikes Keld square in the face, he falls to his knees from the damage he has taken. Attack: 40 Damage1: 13 That would put you at 0 HP, which is disabled. If you try to attack me, you will lose a HP and be at -1. So, I guess you effectively lost.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 11:03 PM	Good match, face you again tommorow or whenever, unless turalisj is williing to fight now.
Dyne 11-25-04, 11:08 PM	Good match, face you again tommorow or whenever, unless turalisj is williing to fight now. It looks like Turalisj just went off-line again. Not a bad fight, but it looks like your character isn't really designed for head-to-head melee. He'll need some kind of strategy to hold his own against creatures like Droga.
Chosen of the Dark Sun 11-25-04, 11:18 PM	That's why I need practice, so I can get a good stratagy for my character. I do have 2 potions of sanctuary. By the way, is it possible to "retire" a character. I mean, not use him until I don't have another character, but still say he is a member of the guild, like an NPC? Cause I think I like the new character I'm making better, even though Keld is really cool. He's just not great for combat when he doesn't have his cohorts, and I'm not sure if he ever will in a fight.
thasis 11-25-04, 11:26 PM	[COLOR=Red]"Hello Dyne. It is me Thasis as you can see. You seem to be constantly picking fights with Guild of Ultimate Evil members. Well I think it's time for you to stop this nonsense. Fight me, the leader, the guildmaster of the guild you contantly pick fights with. Unless of course... your afraid"[COLOR=Red] In simpler turms "Wanna go biatich"
Dyne 11-25-04, 11:30 PM	[COLOR=Red]"Hello Dyne. It is me Thasis as you can see. You seem to be constantly picking fights with Guild of Ultimate Evil members.

Unless of course... your afraid"[COLOR=Red] In simpler turms "Wanna go biatich" What the hell are you talking about? Dyne has yet to pick a single fight against anyone. He merely fought Droga once, dying in the battle, coming back as a clone, and accepting the outcome of the battle and Droga's innocence. Helm was not very accepting towards evil creatures, and he had a bitter hatred of Droga. Droga and Helm fought in the arena, Helm was killed. Bren, Helm's son, has taken up the sword and Helm's place. He has never picked a fight in his life, and he does not speak to someone who is trying to goad him into a fight. Were you talking about Dyne? Or were you referring to one of my other characters? EDIT: Would I have gotten XP for the fight with CotDS? If so, how much?
ChaosEvoker 11-25-04, 11:44 PM	"Thasis, my lord, I must agree. As a member of your own guild, I say this. His attention was on Droga only, however, we have bigger battles to fight, if you remember....." Racanath looks intently at thasis, reminding him of the other battle he has already committed himself to.
BronzeBeard 11-26-04, 02:16 AM	"Hello Dyne. It is me Thasis as you can see. You seem to be constantly picking fights with Guild of Ultimate Evil members.

Unless of course... your afraid" Thasis, how about listing your foundaion to teh upcoming tourny?
Dyne 11-26-04, 03:51 PM	Orcy, doesn't Bren get XP for beating Keld (Chosen of the Dark Sun)? If so, how much?
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 03:55 PM	Well, Dyne are you ready to duel? Racanath appears in his black robe, which almost seems to suck light into its deep void. He brings his spear weilding it like a staff. His rotting flesh hangs limply on his arms and such but his bright green eyes still have a look of intense excitement. "This will be my first battle. I believe we've agreed on knockout only? If you wish to change that, I'm more than game, but I'd prefer not to."

If you wish to change that, I'm more than game, but I'd prefer not to." I haven't chosen my spells yet. And, I have to go. I'll be back in a few minutes. And yes, KO only. Let's just assume all damage is Non-Lethal, rather than bother with the -4 attack junk.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 04:31 PM	For when you are ready: Initiavite: 24
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-26-04, 04:34 PM	Yes, Orcy should adress the knock out fight issue shouldnt he? A magic hangs over the arena so when a nockout battle is agreed upon, it will cause all damage dealt to be subdual. Theres no save, nor SR of course. So it happens to everyone.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 04:39 PM	Actually if we use the mage duel rules, nothign but spells can be used, all damage dealt is cut in half and all damage is subdual. Death effects cuase the target to lose and amount of HP = to half his max HP. Though I guess we aren't doing any defensive preperatory spells. Also, any magic items that directly attack an opponent are illegal. But I assume we are going to act as a regular battle except taht all damage is subdual.

Also, any magic items that directly attack an opponent are illegal. But I assume we are going to act as a regular battle except taht all damage is subdual. Basically, regular battle except no one dies NO MATTER WHAT. For death effects, if there are any powerful enough to take either one of us out, it merely knocks the person out instead of killing them. Again, Orcy, would I get XP for the battle against CotDS? And what about this one with ChaosEvoker? Would the winner get XP?
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 04:58 PM	Basically, regular battle except no one dies NO MATTER WHAT. For death effects, if there are any powerful enough to take either one of us out, it merely knocks the person out instead of killing them. That's what I thought, are we using the ocunterspell action, where we each get a change to counterspell the opponent's spell?
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:04 PM	That's what I thought, are we using the ocunterspell action, where we each get a change to counterspell the opponent's spell? Don't we always get a chance to counterspell the opponent's spell?
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:05 PM	not in standard combat unless you prepare to counterspell rather than attack. in a mageduel that changes so that you get a counterspell attempt and a full round's worth of actions each round
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:07 PM	not in standard combat unless you prepare to counterspell rather than attack. in a mageduel that changes so that you get a counterspell attempt and a full round's worth of actions each round All right, I'll give you a free counterspell attempt each round. Otherwise, I have spells that would kill you in one hit quite easily.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:08 PM	Same here, shall we begin?
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:09 PM	Initiative: 10 I'm using the username DyneVP1. What username are you using for the die roller?
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:09 PM	ChaosEvoker1, how far apart do we begin?
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:11 PM	ChaosEvoker1, how far apart do we begin? 80 ft.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:16 PM	Alright, here we go... Without moving, Racanath waves his hands in an intricate pattern, casting a spell. Suddenly five bright red missles streak forth at Dyne. Spellcraft DC to recognize spell: 16 EDIT: If you don't make the Spellcraft check you can't counterspell
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:18 PM	Alright, here we go... Without moving, Racanath waves his hands in an intricate pattern, casting a spell. Suddenly five bright red missles streak forth at Dyne. Spellcraft DC to recognize spell: 16 EDIT: If you don't make the Spellcraft check you can't counterspell My Spellcraft mod is +25. Whoops, I think I forgot to type in my skills in my stats.... I'm guessing they are magic missiles.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:19 PM	I shoudl have known as much mine is +22. Alright the spell is Magic Missle
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:28 PM	I shoudl have known as much mine is +22. Alright the spell is Magic Missle Regular Magic Missile without any Metamagic enhancements? As the five globes of energy streak toward the Elven Verse Master, Dyne begins chanting aloud. A wave of azure streaks forth toward the missiles, and they clash, releasing bright light and sparks. "Silverstarfire that burns within me, release yourself upon this foe, and burn him to the ground!" With that, a ball of flaming silveryblue flies from his fingertips, headed straight for the lich. Spellcraft DC 16 I think. It's a 6th-level spell.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:32 PM	Yes regular magic misssle I'm guess you counterspelled here's my caster level check Caster Level Check1: 31 EDIT: You have to make a caster level check to counterspell don't you? or was I mistaken? EDIT2: Yup I was mistake, Caster level checks only are nessecary when using Dispel Magic as a counterspell
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:36 PM	Yes regular magic misssle I'm guess you counterspelled here's my caster level check Caster Level Check1: 31 EDIT: You have to make a caster level check to counterspell don't you? or was I mistaken? Caster level check? Is that a special rule for a Mage Duel or something? Under regular rules, all you have to do is identify it and cast the right spell. By-the-way, the Spellcraft DC is 21, not 16. EDIT: All right. The two spells counter each other, making a fantastic visual display but no other effect. All right, since your Spellcraft is +22, you automatically succeed. The spell is a Fireball. Would identifying it with Spellcraft also identify Metamagic effects on the spell?
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:38 PM	Spellcraft1: 34 I got the check what is it?
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:48 PM	Metamagic is unnessecary to counterspell. I dont' have to match your metamagic feats. Racanath quickly counters, throwing a red hot ball of fire at Dyne's, which negates both spells. Then he shoots forthe from his hands a black ray, dark as night, that streaks at Dyne. I cast a counter Fireball Then I cast Enervation Attack1: 15 (touch spell, hit) Enervation gives the target 1d4 Negative Levels NegLevels: 2
Dyne 11-26-04, 05:53 PM	Metamagic is unnessecary to counterspell. I dont' have to match your metamagic feats. Racanath quickly counters, throwing a red hot ball of fire at Dyne's, which negates both spells. I cast a counter Fireball All right, your turn.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:54 PM	I edited my above post, sorry for the slowness

I cast a counter Fireball Then I cast Enervation Attack1: 15 (touch spell, hit) Enervation gives the target 1d4 Negative Levels NegLevels: 2 As Racanath let's fly another spell, Dyne begins casting his own. Racanath's black ray shoots forth toward Dyne's azure ray, and they negate each other, the black ray collapsing in on itself and the azure ray dissipating.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 05:59 PM	Um....did you use Dispel Magic to do that? Or did you have an Enervation prepared?
Dyne 11-26-04, 06:03 PM	Um....did you use Dispel Magic to do that? Or did you have an Enervation prepared? Neither. My Reactive Counterspell feat from the Verse Master PrC.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 06:05 PM	What is Reactive Counterspell? What book is it from? EDIT: Just found it in Magic of Faerun. Reactive Counterspell does not jsut let you counterspell anything, it just lets you do it even if you haven't readied yourself. Since this is a mage duel you don't have to do that. You sitll have to have Dispel Magic or the proper spell to counterspell it.
Dyne 11-26-04, 06:09 PM	What is Reactive Counterspell? What book is it from? I don't know. It's under the Verse Master PrC that Sil created. Reactive Counterspell: The Verse Master may use any of her spell slots as a free action to counterspell. The effect is triggered by incoming magical power and this power has highly visual effects. To onlookers, what can be seen is a massive surge and convergence of Azure with the opponent's magic. I think it's based off of something from the Shadow Adept in the Player's Guide to Faerun. EDIT: Whoops, didn't know that. So, I take 2 Negative Levels.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 06:12 PM	Your turn then. Due to teh 2 neg levels you have: -2 on: attack rolls, saves, skill checks, ability checks, and effective level (which would apply ot caster level checks)
Dyne 11-26-04, 06:14 PM	Your turn then. Wait, we're not close enough for you to cast Enervation on me. It's range is Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels). That would be a range of 50 ft. for you. We're 80 ft. apart.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 06:18 PM	WHOA my bad! Let me redo that one! Racanath casts his spell, a bright red ray of light. Do I need to maek another attack roll or shoudl we just replace enervation with this one? EDIT: or are we not going back?
Dyne 11-26-04, 06:24 PM	WHOA my bad! Let me redo that one! Racanath casts his spell, a bright red ray of light. Do I need to maek another attack roll or shoudl we just replace enervation with this one? I suppose you can use the same attack roll. What is the spell? I believe I would automatically succeed at the Spellcraft DC.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 06:25 PM	Disentigrate Save DC: 24
Dyne 11-26-04, 06:32 PM	Disentigrate Save DC: 24 Fort: 17
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 06:40 PM	The die roller is not working There we go I had to roll it in two sections: Damage 1: 80
Dyne 11-26-04, 06:43 PM	The die roller is not working It should work just fine. But, you have to fill in every field (including mod).
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 06:46 PM	I edited
Dyne 11-26-04, 06:48 PM	Hmmm. I'm down to 3 HP. No more Mr. Nice Guy! ;) Racanath's spell speeds toward Dyne. The Elven Mage is hit head-on by the ray, and he nearly collapses as it eats away at his body. He then begins chanting. "Grace of Mystra, use your power to hide me from mine enemy." The Elf vanishes. I cast Greater Invisibility.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:03 PM	Racanath laughs mockignly at Dyne's move. "SHAR GRANT ME SIGHT TO SEE THROUGH THE FOUL MYSTRA'S SERVANT'S TRICKERY!" With this, a golden rune of an eye appears on Racanath's forehead. I cast True Seeing
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:07 PM	Racanath laughs mockignly at Dyne's move. "SHAR GRANT ME SIGHT TO SEE THROUGH THE FOUL MYSTRA'S SERVANT'S TRICKERY!" With this, a golden rune of an eye appears on Racanath's forehead. I cast True Seeing ChaosEvoker, weren't you using your list of Typical Spell Prepared? Or did you changed what spells you prepared for the fight?
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:09 PM	I changed the Still Empowered Lightnign Bolt to True Seeing, other than that, nothign is changed.
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:17 PM	I changed the Still Empowered Lightnign Bolt to True Seeing, other than that, nothign is changed. All right then. A ball of blue fire flies out and hits Racanath. The lich stops for a moment as his decayed body burns. Still Empowered Maximized Fireball. Damage: 82
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:21 PM	Not quite: I use Dispel Magic as a counterspell Caster Check: 21 (roll +my level) [sorry forgot to put the mod into the roll] Your spell is ocuntered as teh DC is only equal to 11+ the caster's level. (20 in your case)
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:25 PM	Not quite: I use Dispel Magic as a counterspell Caster Check: 21 (roll +my level) [sorry forgot to put the mod into the roll] Your spell is ocuntered as teh DC is only equal to 11+ the caster's level. (20 in your case) I am CL 13. The DC would be 24.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:26 PM	Racanath shoots a beam of green light hich speads into a sphere smacking into the fireball, dispelling it. Then he casts a spell, throwing a bolt of lighting a Dyne. I cast an Empowered Lightning Bolt Dmg2: 40 Even if you save, you'll be dead.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:26 PM	13? How?
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:28 PM	13? How? Level 5 Wizard Level 5 Eldritch Knight (-1 since the 1st-level doesn't grant a CL) Level 4 Verse Master.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:29 PM	Alright what's the reflex save DC? EDIT: Don't forget your two negative levels.
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:30 PM	Alright what's the reflex save DC? DC 24.
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:31 PM	EDIT: Don't forget your two negative levels. I don't have two negative levels. You weren't close enough to cast Enervation, and you still aren't. Remember? I let you cast Disintegrate instead since you didn't realize the distance apart we were. Otherwise, I would be at full health.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:34 PM	wiat I have the improved counterspell feat as long as I use an evocation spell higher than level 3 i can counter your fireball (keep in mind metamagic doesn't apply to counterspells) I use Bigby's Interposing Hand to counter your fireball.
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:36 PM	wiat I have the improved counterspell feat as long as I use an evocation spell higher than level 3 i can counter your fireball (keep in mind metamagic doesn't apply to counterspells) I use Bigby's Interposing Hand to counter your fireball. And I counter your Lightning Bolt with a Lightning Bolt.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:36 PM	fair enough, your turn
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:38 PM	I believe it is my turn now (since you just cast a Lightning Bolt). Another ball of blue fire streaks toward the lich. Damage: 79 Reflex DC: 24
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:39 PM	wiat I have the improved counterspell feat as long as I use an evocation spell higher than level 3 i can counter your fireball (keep in mind metamagic doesn't apply to counterspells) I use Bigby's Interposing Hand to counter your fireball. Wait, you can't do that! You already tried to counter it with Dispel Magic. You don't get two counterspell attempts.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:41 PM	This tiem I HAVE to use Dispel Magic to counter Caster Check: 17 (fail) Ref Save: 5 (fail)
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:42 PM	Ok either way I just lost, mainly cuase you got bloody lucky that my disintegrate didn't do 3 more damage than it did
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:42 PM	This tiem I HAVE to use Dispel Magic to counter Caster Check: 17 (fail) Ref Save: 5 (fail) What the? You already used up your Dispel Magics. And, you tried to counterspell one of my spells twice at one time. Either way, you're gone twice over.
ChaosEvoker 11-26-04, 07:43 PM	What was that last spell?
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:43 PM	Ok either way I just lost, mainly cuase you got bloody lucky that my disintegrate didn't do 3 more damage than it did Only 'cause I didn't understand one of my abilities. Knowing what I know now, I'll have several Dispel Magics ready next time.
Dyne 11-26-04, 07:48 PM	What was that last spell? What do you mean? The last spell I cast at you was a Still Empowered Maximized Fireball. That was closer than I thought it would be. I'll have to make better preparations when I face you guys in that match between the Half-Elves and the Guild of Evil.
turalisj 11-27-04, 03:31 PM	alright dyne, lets fight!
Xen155 11-27-04, 03:37 PM	Dyne, are you gonna use your Verse master?
Dyne 11-27-04, 03:38 PM	alright dyne, lets fight! All right, let me get ahold of your stats. This is a fight to the knockout. Whoever loses does not lose their life or any of their possessions, but the winner gains experience. Orcy, if you're still on, we need a GM for the match. And, I'm waiting to know how much XP I'd get for beating a 15th-level character in a KO match.
Dyne 11-27-04, 03:38 PM	Dyne, are you gonna use your Verse master? Nope, this is a fight between Turalisj, the Skygge Slayer, and Bren Dundragon, Knight of the Purple Dragon.
Dyne 11-27-04, 03:42 PM	Turalisj, there is no such thing as a +8 Ring of Protection (unless you have 1,280,000 gp). And, how much Natural Armor does your character have from being Half-Dragon? You DO realize that it would not stack with Natural Armor granted by Amulet of Natural Armor?
Xen155 11-27-04, 03:45 PM	There IS a +8 Ring of protection. It costs 1,280,000 gp. And he gains +4 nat arm.
Dyne 11-27-04, 03:47 PM	There IS a +8 Ring of protection. It costs 1,280,000 gp. And he gains +4 nat arm. There is NO WAY Turalisj has gotten 1,280,000 gp right off the bat. Everyone starts with 200,000 gp. And his +4 Natural Armor does not stack with the +5 granted by the Amulet. EDIT: Wait, the Amulet might stack. It says it "improves the creature's natural armor in the form of an enhancement bonus." So, I think that counts. But, he would not have that ring.
Xen155 11-27-04, 03:51 PM	He is Offline!
Dyne 11-27-04, 04:02 PM	Let's see, 10 +3 Dex +6 Studded Leather +4 Natural Armor +5 Amulet of Natural Armor.... I'm getting an AC of 28, not 33. And, Touch AC: 10 +3 Dex= 13. Flat-Footed AC: 28 -3 Dex= 25. Turalisj might have made a few arithmetic errors while adding things up. Turalisj, where'd you go? Are we still gonna fight? I just want to clear up some things, since certain bits don't add up.
Droga 11-27-04, 04:09 PM	has anybody else noticed that Turalisj's weapons and armor add up to about 200,000 by themselves. Then throwing in the rest of it, hes well over... I'm begining to think he doesnt listen, doesnt know what hes doing, or just hopes he can cheat and nobody will notice. Edit: As a matter of fact, his sword is about a +8 without the special materials.
Dyne 11-27-04, 04:12 PM	has anybody else noticed that Turalisj's weapons and armor add up to about 200,000 by themselves. Then throwing in the rest of it, hes well over... I'm begining to think he doesnt listen, doesnt know what hes doing, or just hopes he can cheat and nobody will notice. His ring alone is 1,280,000 gp.
Droga 11-27-04, 04:13 PM	I'm begining to think hes going to need to start sending his characters to a GM or judge to make sure he isnt cheating.
Dyne 11-27-04, 04:15 PM	I'm begining to think hes going to need to start sending his characters to a GM or judge to make sure he isnt cheating. I don't think he's trying to cheat. If you were to add on all his items and such his AC would actually be 36, not 33. But, since there's no way he would have a Ring of Protection +8, it goes down considerably. EDIT: To prove it, if Turalisj were really cheating he would probably have +5 Mythril Full Plate of Speed, Ring of Protection +10, Amulet of Natural Armor +10, etc. Those alone would with a Dex of 16 and his racial natural armor 4 would add up to an AC of 50.
Droga 11-27-04, 04:17 PM	I have seen other signs of him not knowing much about D&D. Like trying to add attack bonus to damage rolls... stuff like that. I've asked him how long hes been playing a few times, he wont respond to the question. I think hes new and trying to hop right in with a level 15.
Dyne 11-27-04, 04:21 PM	I have seen other signs of him not knowing much about D&D. Like trying to add attack bonus to damage rolls... stuff like that. I've asked him how long hes been playing a few times, he wont respond to the question. I think hes new and trying to hop right in with a level 15. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone is new at one point. If someone doesn't totally understand all the rules and such, someone with more experience should help them understand the rules, rather than accusing them of cheating.
Droga 11-27-04, 04:28 PM	See, thats just the thing, we dont know if he really is new, or if he IS just trying to cheat... badly I might add.
Xen155 11-27-04, 04:47 PM	So is the Bren vs Turalisj fight still on?
Dyne 11-27-04, 05:18 PM	So is the Bren vs Turalisj fight still on? Turalisj left, so I guess not. Unless he comes back right away.
Dyne 11-27-04, 05:35 PM	Xen, you still around? Maybe wanna go for a KO Mage Duel?
Xen155 11-27-04, 05:40 PM	Dyne, sure I'd take you on, But we are both Verse Masters and we are not clear on our rules.
turalisj 11-27-04, 05:47 PM	sorry about the leave, but im back. i was finishing my character for the core colusium.
Dyne 11-27-04, 05:49 PM	sorry about the leave, but im back. i was finishing my character for the core colusium. Turalisj, there are some things about your character that need to be fixed. The Ring of Protection +8 for one. I suppose we'll have to fight another time, after a GM looks over your character.
Dyne 11-27-04, 06:01 PM	Xen, let's have a Mage Duel. Since we don't know how the Verse Master abilities work, let's just not even use them. Just regular Wizard powers.
turalisj 11-27-04, 06:06 PM	fixed up my character.... i thought that there was a +8 ring of protection, but i guess not. so i lowered that down and refigured my ac. oh, and i added a third eye of exposer
Xen155 11-27-04, 06:09 PM	Xen, let's have a Mage Duel. Since we don't know how the Verse Master abilities work, let's just not even use them. Just regular Wizard powers. My spell book is completly configured to my interpretations of the Verse master rules, so if you wanna mage duel it should be with the Verse Master.
turalisj 11-27-04, 06:12 PM	or you could have a cohort fight.
Dyne 11-27-04, 06:16 PM	fixed up my character.... i thought that there was a +8 ring of protection, but i guess not. so i lowered that down and refigured my ac. oh, and i added a third eye of exposer There is a +8 Ring of Protection. Actually, it's an +8 Epic Ring of Protection, and it costs 1,280,000 gp. I don't know about you, but I don't totally understand the Verse Master abilities, so we might have to reconfigure our spells anyway. Dyne doesn't have any cohorts. Bren, on the other hand, has plenty of them.
turalisj 11-27-04, 06:19 PM	:eek: well, i'm glad i fixed it then. oh, and sorry about the mix ups with the ac and everything, i've been using the srd for a very long time and finnaly got around to getting the mm, phb, dmg, xph, and AaEG. again, i apologize for the mess ups.
Dyne 11-27-04, 06:21 PM	:eek: well, i'm glad i fixed it then. oh, and sorry about the mix ups with the ac and everything, i've been using the srd for a very long time and finnaly got around to getting the mm, phb, dmg, xph, and AaEG. again, i apologize for the mess ups. It has also been mentioned that the rest of your gear adds up to WELL above 200,000 gp. Best to get that straightened out before your first match.
king_of_evil007 11-27-04, 10:32 PM	KoE stands up, and declares the following. "For the Grand Guild Tournament, the Amazing Creators' Foundation wishes to enter participants KoE, Morgrim Firebeard, and Geimaure! I would like to wish all contestants good luck, and hope to see you in the ring! What it says above. The ACF is entering myself, Deladrion Garthin (Morgrim Firebeard) and BB's characters into the tourney.
BronzeBeard 11-28-04, 02:35 AM	You know, I have a name. I'll go fetch it now since I have forgotten it myself... Here it is: Geimaure (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=4869117&postcount=90)
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 04:03 PM	Hey BB, if you'r still interested in a for fun battle, I can actually dedicate to it now.
turalisj 11-28-04, 04:06 PM	and the skygge slayers shall be entering turalisj(me), and Adronis Greencloak(turalisj's cohort and second in command). is there an entrance fee for the tourney? i think there should be.
Droga 11-28-04, 04:39 PM	Droga roars from where he crouches in the stands. His eyes staring right toward Turalisj. His mouth twisted into a wicked smile. "Care to back up these claims of being a skygge slayer little swine? You are pathetic. You are nothing. You are a waste of life you little beast. Now, would you like to show me what you can do? Skygge slayer, HAH! You could never slay one of us."
turalisj 11-28-04, 04:47 PM	"oh, we couldnt couldnt we? we are but a small branch from which the tree of hatred for your kind has sprung. we have agents on everyplane, recruting more and more allies by the day. we will wipe out the skygge and all of thier evils that they have done. at this very moment an expeditionary force has been sent to rid the planes of your kind by finding the one thing that will wipe them out, the blade of pelor." turalisj shouted back at the vile creature, hatred in his every words. i'll post the stats for the blade soon.
Droga 11-28-04, 04:55 PM	"Well, there would be a problem with that now wouldnt there little fool? We are beings of no small magics, we will find each of you, and slay you all. We stalk in your shadows, we within each footstep. You cannot sleep without us knowing, you cannot move without us seeing. We are everywhere. You know little of my people, and without knowing your enemy, you will never defeat us. In less than a day we have leveled some of the most powerful cities in mortal history. We are nothing to anger little swine. You could never destroy my people. There are reasons beyond your understanding. Things that you will not discover until it is far, far too late. Now, you again speak, yet you have not the courage to face me? You are a coward indeed little swine. You are all talk, nothing more." Droga rises up. His dark body massive as he brings his arms up, his hands facing upward. He roars, a darkness flowing around him for a moment then dissipating.
turalisj 11-28-04, 05:31 PM	is there anyone, besides that blasted skygge, who wants to have a friendly, knockout fight? :(
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 05:37 PM	is there anyone, besides that blasted skygge, who wants to have a friendly, knockout fight? :( I do
ChaosEvoker 11-28-04, 05:38 PM	I woudl gladly fight. Also, if anyone wants to Mage Duel, I am by all means up for a battle.
Droga 11-28-04, 05:39 PM	I think you should worry more about what Droga is going to do to you when he find out that your a traitor :P
turalisj 11-28-04, 05:48 PM	perhaps all three of us can fight?
turalisj 11-28-04, 06:12 PM	sssargoth, are we fighting or not?
Dyne 11-28-04, 06:13 PM	OOOH! MAGE DUEL! Wait, haven't I already dueled you, ChaosEvoker?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-28-04, 06:16 PM	Orcy would prefer not to have Versemasters fighting in the arena until the class is done. Because from what Sil has said, it isnt done.
Dyne 11-28-04, 06:18 PM	Orcy would prefer not to have Versemasters fighting in the arena until the class is done. Because from what Sil has said, it isnt done. Darn. Okay then, I still have my Paladin/Purple Dragon Knight, Bren, as well as my Vampire Cleric, Alak.
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 06:27 PM	sssargoth, are we fighting or not? I just finished dinner, but I'm ready if you are.
Dyne 11-28-04, 06:28 PM	All right, you two can duke it out. I've got a character to create and a foundation to start. :plotting:
turalisj 11-28-04, 06:46 PM	do you want a psionics only fight?
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 06:49 PM	I don't care. Orcy want's to check our charicter sheets for errors before we start tho.
turalisj 11-28-04, 06:50 PM	ok. my char sheet should be error free. i even have gold left to spend.
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 06:54 PM	ok. my char sheet should be error free. i even have gold left to spend. I haven't used any of mine, except to gamble here. I now have 350,000 gp because of it. :P
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-28-04, 06:56 PM	Orcy doesnt see any errors anymore Turalisj. Though you should make sure to change that equipment list. With the weapon itself you have it listed as +2, lower on the list you have it listed as +4. Orcy thinks it would have to be +2 or you would be over, and he hasnt even calculated the mask's price because hes never heard of it.
turalisj 11-28-04, 06:56 PM	i doubt dragons, much less red ones, use money for anything. hey, wait a sec! i bet 500 on droga! where's my gold!
Droga 11-28-04, 06:58 PM	You bet then you died. Or were you the one who bet too late? Either way, you died... so it doesnt really matter now.
turalisj 11-28-04, 07:00 PM	Orcy doesnt see any errors anymore Turalisj. Though you should make sure to change that equipment list. With the weapon itself you have it listed as +2, lower on the list you have it listed as +4. Orcy thinks it would have to be +2 or you would be over, and he hasnt even calculated the mask's price because hes never heard of it. *opens xph* the mask costs 2,500 gp. it allows me to speak 5 more languages. i'm thinking about getting a third eye of powerthieve. at only 10,080 gp it allows me to take one of my enemies powers!!!!!
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 07:10 PM	so....are you ready or not?
BronzeBeard 11-28-04, 07:10 PM	Hey BB, if you'r still interested in a for fun battle, I can actually dedicate to it now. ready and willing - knockout only.
turalisj 11-28-04, 07:12 PM	so....are you ready or not? ya. i'll be rolling under turalisj4.
BronzeBeard 11-28-04, 07:14 PM	so it's turalisj Vs. sssargoth?

Im rolling under Sssargoth1 alrighty! turalisj walks in as the red dragon prepares for his fight. his fullblade gleams as he extends his hand towards sssargoth" lets have a clean fight? okay?" inittiative:13(not a good number)
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 07:46 PM	alrighty! turalisj walks in as the red dragon prepares for his fight. his fullblade gleams as he extends his hand towards sssargoth" lets have a clean fight? okay?" inittiative:13(not a good number) DICEBOT HATES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not letting me roll.................
turalisj 11-28-04, 07:48 PM	huh. want me to roll for you? dont worry, i wont fudge the rolls.
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 07:49 PM	huh. want me to roll for you? dont worry, i wont fudge the rolls. go ahead. put it under Sssargoth1, please.
Droga 11-28-04, 08:00 PM	you need to fill in every field, even if its a zero. And you dont need to put any + signs in.
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 08:04 PM	you need to fill in every field, even if its a zero. And you dont need to put any + signs in. I guess it's just being an ass to me, as usual. Initiative (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Sssargoth1#13658 5) : 14 Looks like Im going first. The little red dragon jumps into the air and flaps his wings. He goes about 35 feet above the ground and 65 feet straight ahead, swerving from side to side. "Hehehehe, flyflyfly." :D
turalisj 11-28-04, 08:30 PM	thats what breath weapons are for :D
Sssargoth 11-28-04, 08:47 PM	thats what breath weapons are for :D u going to do anything or not?
turalisj 11-28-04, 10:42 PM	you'll have to wait for tommarrow, my idiot father stole my books.
thasis 11-29-04, 09:55 AM	So... I heard we're holding a tourny here. The Guild of Ultimate Evil is definitly participating. I'll be there and probally Droga. I'll see who else wants to fight.
BronzeBeard 11-29-04, 05:36 PM	So... I heard we're holding a tourny here. The Guild of Ultimate Evil is definitly participating. I'll be there and probally Droga. I'll see who else wants to fight. You need 3 participates from your foundation. The ACF already signed in with registring myself, KoE & DD as combatants.
turalisj 11-29-04, 06:14 PM	i'll sign up for the half elven foundation.
thasis 11-29-04, 06:37 PM	I know I'm going to participate. Once again, Droga mabye.
baerdith 11-29-04, 08:01 PM	alrighty! turalisj walks in as the red dragon prepares for his fight. his fullblade gleams as he extends his hand towards sssargoth" lets have a clean fight? okay?" inittiative:13(not a good number) If it isn't too late I want to place a bet 10000gp on Sssargoth to win easily.
turalisj 11-29-04, 08:10 PM	can anyone tell me the rules for breath attacks? like if i apply any modifiers? i have niether my dmg nor my phb with me. :embarrass
Droga 11-29-04, 08:19 PM	6d8 damage, 60ft line of lightning for a bronze dragon. Save DC is 10+1/2 your HD+yer con mod. Usable once per day. Though Sssargoth is gonna whoop on you.
turalisj 11-29-04, 08:43 PM	well, if he makes a save it does 9 damage, if not then he takes 18 damage..... turalisj moves forward and lets out a blast of electrical energy. moved 60ft forward and attacked with my, well, breath.
Sssargoth 11-29-04, 10:36 PM	Reflex save: (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Sssargoth1#13672 0) 28 I think that beats it. :P "Ow! Meanie..." The dragon makes a verry wide turn(75 Ft), and ends up right over turalisj. Staying 35 Ft in the air. "BURN, BABY! BURN!" A cone of fire erupts from the dragons outstreached claw. Mnifesting Energy cone. Reflex save DC 17. 26 damage if save failed, 13 if made.
Bait the Bard 11-30-04, 05:33 AM	Bets are now being taken: Sssargoth 2 : 1 vs turalisj 10000gp by Beardith on Sssargoth
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:32 AM	turalisj tries to jump out of the way but is too late, and gets caught in the cone. "so, you like burning things do you little dragon? well...we'll see who gets the last laugh...." turalisj said as a sound, seemingly familiar to you erupted from the ground as turalisj moved forward some"why doesn't the dragon come down and play? or is he too cowerdly to fight a fair match?" mnoved forward until i am directly in front of you maifested empathic feedback with 5 more pp spent than needed. :P failed reflex though.....] total spent pp: 10
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 01:33 PM	moved forward until i am directly in front of you unless you manafested psionic fly, there is no way you are directly in front of me. Unless you ment your taking a 5 Ft step and facing my general direction. The dragon makes another sweeping circle in the air, even larger than the last. Everyone notices that his altitude drops during this pass. While still some distance away he releases a roar that is rather comical in sound. At the same time he makes everyone in the stands look like this: :eek: as he releases a cone of ice and freezing cold at turalisj from his mouth. In the stands people murmer things like: "I thought red dragons can't breathe ice..." and, "whats going on? That's not natural!" moving 65 Ft in a wide turn and dropping 10 Ft in altitude: Total move: 75 Ft, Distance from turalisj: 35 Ft, Distance from ground: 25 Ft Manifesting Energy cone (cold) at turalisj. Fort save DC: 17 If save failed, take 19 damage, if save made, take 9 damage. Total PP spent this battle: 10 PP remaining: 27
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 04:20 PM	A human male walks up to Bait's gambling corner. He has a blank look on his face and his eyes seem slightly glazed over. "Lord Sssargoth wishes to make a wager on his battle with turalisj of 350,000 gold that he will win. Do you accept this wager?" The man produces a box with towers of gold coins inside.
Tenzhi 11-30-04, 05:34 PM	The gods look on, barely resisting the urge to cast their blessings upon Turalisj and bet gratuitous amounts of money on him.
turalisj 11-30-04, 05:34 PM	unless you manafested psionic fly, there is no way you are directly in front of me. Unless you ment your taking a 5 Ft step and facing my general direction.

Fort save DC: 17 If save failed, take 19 damage, if save made, take 9 damage. Total PP spent this battle: 10 PP remaining: 27 turalisj easily jumps out of the way, though a bit of ice formed on his left shoulder. just as sssargoth is about to release another comical roar, turalisj laughs and points to sssargoth's shoulder. ice has frozen on it, but then quickly melted. "foolish little dragon!" beat save by 10 :P
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 05:55 PM	turalisj easily jumps out of the way, though a bit of ice formed on his left shoulder. just as sssargoth is about to release another comical roar, turalisj laughs and points to sssargoth's shoulder. ice has frozen on it, but then quickly melted. "foolish little dragon!" beat save by 10 :P first things first, the cold version of energy cone requires a Fortitude save and empathic transfer only works on melee attacks.
turalisj 11-30-04, 05:59 PM	even easier, all i need is to roll a 1! i have fortitude tht rivals droga. poison doesnt even affact me :P edit: fortitude save: 36 :cool: , didnt know that about the thing, i was forced to use the srd due to my phb, mm, dmg, and xph being missing.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 06:01 PM	Gurgetar comes wandering into the arena he walks up to the betting table and looks at the man seated there. Setting down his hamster cage he hops onto it so he can see over the table. Pulling out a staff he looks the man over once more. "I'd like to wager this staff, on Sssargoth's win. If you hummies allow that kinda thing of course." Staff of Enchantment: 65k
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:03 PM	Gurgetar comes wandering into the arena he walks up to the betting table and looks at the man seated there.

If you hummies allow that kinda thing of course." Staff of Enchantment: 65k so if i win i get the staff? :cool:
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 06:04 PM	No... you don't get any of the money thats being bet. Regardless of a win or loss.
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:17 PM	then i bet 15,000 gold on myself, i mean, my cohorts bet my 15,000 on me..... :D oh, and would you get down sssargoth so we can have a fair fight? is there any way i can force him down orcy? like jumping onto him and slamming my sword into his back?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 06:19 PM	Well, you wouldnt be able to make a jump check that was that high. But that probably wouldnt work anyway. So... unless you can think up something, hes gonna stay up there. You do know its your turn right...? Also remember that any gold you bet on yourself your character has to have. If you lose the match, then you lose the gold.
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:24 PM	alright, i'll try a jump check, how high up is he?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 06:30 PM	Hes 25ft up, meaning you need to make a jump check of about... 100. To get up there.
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:35 PM	well, can i say i have 3 +1 returning shurikens? it would cost.....6,903gp to have.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 06:38 PM	You would have had to buy things before the fight. You cant just buy things in the middle of a fight, kinda ya know... hard when your battling. And before you ask, no, your cohort cant buy them for you either.
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:40 PM	then i have no choice but to move back 40ft and wait. so now i am about 50 ft from the cowardly thing.
Dyne 11-30-04, 06:50 PM	A man in a black robe with the hood pulled up over his head strides over to the betting table. "This match is most amusing. I would like to bet 10,000 gold pieces that Sssargoth will win. I am... most confident in his abilities thus far." By-the-way, this is my Shadow Adept character, Aseir Pashar.
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:51 PM	:waits: :ahem: :rant: you're betting on that coward!!! he wont even fight fair!
Dyne 11-30-04, 06:53 PM	:waits: :ahem: :rant: you're betting on that coward!!! he wont even fight fair! Yeah, but then again, Aseir doesn't really like to fight fair either. It's fair, Turalisj, it's just frustrating. Don't you have any powers that can attack him at range? Or anything that can make you fly or jump? Besides, I actually hope you win. But, Aseir has a totally different mindset than me.
turalisj 11-30-04, 06:54 PM	no, i had to get rid of my ranged weapons. man, can't i just say that i've had a longbow and forgot to use it? :weep:
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 06:57 PM	Sorry Turalisj, you have to buy your things before the battle. You can't just say whoops, I forgot I had this in the middle of battle. That would be like one of the wizards around here saying "whoops, I forgot I had this scroll of see invisibility" to counter someone using invisibility. Just cant let ya do it.
Tenzhi 11-30-04, 06:57 PM	You could always throw rocks at him. It's not much, but it's something.
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 07:01 PM	The dragon swerves to get a better angle of attack and launches a cone of fire at turalisj as he continues forward in the air flying in a 75 Ft arc actual breath weapon being used. Reflex DC: 19 18 damage if you fail. 9 damage if you make it. rounds until next possible use of breath: 4 rounds
turalisj 11-30-04, 07:03 PM	okay..... i that seems to be my only choice..... desperate, trualisj grabbes the largest stone and heaves it at the stupid, little, dragon. made save:20 the stone wouldnt even deal damage, unless it was a large one.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 07:12 PM	You can make a ranged attack at a -4 penalty for an improv weapon. The king of stone you would find in the arena would do about 1d3+strmod damage. If it hit.
turalisj 11-30-04, 07:19 PM	i would apply my ranged mod, correct?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 07:23 PM	Yep, ranged attack roll with a -4 penalty. You deal 1d4+your strength modifier for damage. It has a range incriment of about 10ft. So for each 10ft away from him you are after the first 10ft you take another -1 to the attack roll. (modified to be pretty much a skiprock.)
turalisj 11-30-04, 07:28 PM	so i take a -11 in all to my roll.....
turalisj 11-30-04, 07:37 PM	your turn mr.dragon.
Tenzhi 11-30-04, 07:40 PM	This is why you should always wear a sling as a jockstrap, as a sling is a simple weapon despite its inherent complexity, you would only receive a -1 to attack with the same rock, and it would have a 50' range increment instead of 10... Funny how the simple act of hurling it directly rather than whirling it around chaotically first makes it that much harder to hit with. Personally, I think rocks should be simple thrown weapons in and of themselves since they are one of the first deadly weapons a child learns to use.

Dyne 11-30-04, 08:08 PM	What happened to the battle? Did Sssargoth leave?
turalisj 11-30-04, 08:09 PM	ya, and it was a pretty cheap fight. as soon as it started he flew into the air so i couldn't touch him...... coward
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 08:12 PM	Sssargoth is currently plotting, Orcy is chatting with him over AIM. He should be back some time to do something...
turalisj 11-30-04, 08:16 PM	well, he has 45 minutes then, or this fight is postponed till tomarrow.
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 08:31 PM	As he skims the boundary of the arena, he makes a sharp turn and releases an ear splitting screach at turalisj. The only other warning of the attack is the shock wave across the ground and wall, cracking both and throwing shrapnel as it hits turalisj. Sharp turn in the direction of turalisj, moving 75 Ft. Emits a Sonic Energy Cone Reflex DC: 17 Damage: 14 on a failed save, 7 on a made save 14 damage to the wall and the floor
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 08:35 PM	A little bit of a crack appears in the wall, though it holds together fairly easily. As for the ground, dirt is flung against the wall and the ground is cracked and packed a bit more in some places.
turalisj 11-30-04, 08:36 PM	so, how far away are you?
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 08:41 PM	about 20 ft infront of you and 25 ft above you 3 rounds till breath weapon use
turalisj 11-30-04, 08:43 PM	hmmm, i might be able to jump and use my unarmed attack..... thank you improved unarmed strike! edit: jump roll:33- would that be enough to propel me to you?
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 08:46 PM	Your a half-dragon, you don't need improved unarmed strike
turalisj 11-30-04, 08:46 PM	:doh:
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 08:51 PM	:doh: u actually took unarmedstrike. http://www.geocities.com/edymnionii/KkatROFL.txt
turalisj 11-30-04, 08:54 PM	can we atleast assume that i got the right amount i needed on my check? your 20 feet in front of me, enough for the run i need to jump up.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 09:01 PM	Those in the stands watch as Turalisj jumps a good 8ft into the air, coming down to the ground after reaching that height. Not close enough to get where he wanted, but somewhat impressive still.
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 09:25 PM	The dragon emits another screach immediately after the first, as he continues to fly, gaining altitude as he goes. Energy Cone (sonic) DC: 17 Damage: 14 on a failed save, 7 on a made save 14 damage to the wall and the floor Turns away from the wall twards the center of the stadium and climbs about 45 Ft at a 38 degree angle. Again 75 feet total 2 turns till breath weapon 75 Ft above the ground
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:29 PM	you know, it's kind of cowerdly just flying about. oh, and i made my save.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 09:31 PM	A few small peices of wall drop onto the floor behind Turalisj. A couple fairly large (long) peices dropping as well. No more than about an inch in thickness. Hey, its a strategy that you didnt plan for. It seems to be working pretty well. Same kind of thing happened when Dyne went invisible and Droga couldnt find him.
Demonfey 11-30-04, 09:35 PM	Don't you have a bow, turalisj?
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:35 PM	i lift a pretty big peice and lug it at the stupid :censored: little dragon.
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:36 PM	Don't you have a bow, turalisj? because most of my money was spent on my sword. a good 25% of it.
Demonfey 11-30-04, 09:40 PM	Doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a bow. Or that you don't have any powers to get up there or shoot him with. Your a psion, man!
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:41 PM	what would be the damage from the peice of stadium that i threw at him? oh and these are my actions: i moved to where i would be directly under sssargoth, dragging the piece of the stadium. then i flung it at him(hitting him, barely)
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:42 PM	Doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a bow. Or that you don't have any powers to get up there or shoot him with. Your a psion, man! i'm a psychic warrior. most of my manifestible powers focus around augmenting my weapons/armor.
Demonfey 11-30-04, 09:44 PM	Not a smart move to not have any ranged weaponry.
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:45 PM	well, if that chunk of the satium doesn't stop him, i dont know what will.
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 09:46 PM	the largest piece is no more than 30 Lbs
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:49 PM	well, i have a strength score of 20....... :D that would be about 1d8 damage, correct?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 09:50 PM	30lbs, which deals 2d6 damage with a ranged attack. the attack suffers the same -4 penalty with an additional -1 for each 10ft after the first.
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 09:52 PM	30lbs, which deals 2d6 damage with a ranged attack. the attack suffers the same -4 penalty with an additional -1 for each 10ft after the first. Or part there of. I looked it up.
turalisj 11-30-04, 09:54 PM	so it would be a -11 total, and thus i would have to get a 19 or better to hit him. great. edit: missed, due to the fact that none of my modifiers apply. what you're doin is real cowerdly sssargoth, the cowerdly red dragon. hmm, mybe that can be your new handle name.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 10:13 PM	Turalisj, play nice. If you keep being such a bad sport about this, Orcy doesn't really want you in his arena.
turalisj 11-30-04, 10:14 PM	isn't there a rule in the arena that you can't be in flight for more than a few rounds at a time?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 10:16 PM	Nope, no rule against it. Usually people are prepared for flying targets.
turalisj 11-30-04, 10:19 PM	ya, well i had to remove my ranged weapons because of the little debate about my item costs! :mad: owell, your turn sssargoth
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 10:21 PM	Thats because you spent far too much gold... but yes, back to the battle.
Sssargoth 11-30-04, 10:38 PM	I'm a wyrmling, we excel at hit-n-run tactics. A good philosophy to live by is, "Expect the unexpected." Its worked for me... As he levels out, he dodges a piece if stone. "Not good enough T." The dragon spirals twards the ground. When he is down far enough for his tastes, he unleashes a cone of firey ectoplasm that torches a 60 foot diamiter of the floor, with turalisj in the path of it. spirals 15 Ft down over 60 Ft of spiraling Energy cone (Fire) Reflex DC: 17 Damage: 19 on a failed save, 9 on a made save 1 turn til breath weapon
turalisj 11-30-04, 11:12 PM	made the save, barely. man, i can't even touch you, and you are blasting me with ice and fire cones. i have no choice but to give up since this is a hopeless fight..... :( :mad: :weep: :surrender :allalone:
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 11:18 PM	Orcy raises his large metal hand into the air. "The winner of the battle is Sssargoth on account of surrender by Turalisj."
turalisj 11-30-04, 11:20 PM	turalisj walks away in defeat, heaving part of the broken wall back into position before taking his leave. off to buy a comp longbow......(+5 strength)
turalisj 11-30-04, 11:29 PM	i have just enough money to get a +2 dragon bane seeking comp longbow(+4 strength) :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-30-04, 11:44 PM	is that taking into account the 15k you lost in your bet?
Tenzhi 12-01-04, 01:46 AM	Wasn't there a battle with Droga here earlier? I'm not sure how much difference it would've made, but unless I've missed something his character is one level too high according to his stats on the Player Characters & Statistics thread... Droga of the Black Fang Clan Cleric 1/Fiend of Blasphemy 3 (Feind Folio) Skygge Elder Racial HD: 6d8 LA: +6 6 Racial HD + 4 Class Levels + LA(+6) = ECL 16 I suppose it could just be that he gained a level in the interim, but last I checked it wasn't decided exactly if/how XP was going to be doled out.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 01:50 AM	Droga leveled up by combat in the arena. Exp in the arena is going to be given normally, as if defeating any other openent. In a knockout fight, its slightly less than in a to the death fight. Droga has been challenged so many times, he leveled.
Bait the Bard 12-01-04, 02:21 AM	Ok, I've changed the betting system so that you actually win money now ;) : Beardith - wins 20000gp on Sssargoth. Orcy - wins a Staff of Enchantment and 65000gp. turalisj - loses 15000gp on himself. Dyne - wins 20,000gp on Sssargoth. Have fun :)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 02:27 AM	What about Sssargoth's bet on himself for 350000gp. Which I guess he got winning a bet from some other fight.
De Batavier 12-01-04, 09:33 AM	Greetings i'm Karl Abend, founder of The Warlock Circle. I accept challenges for a mage duel, knock out style.
Sssargoth 12-01-04, 11:17 AM	What about Sssargoth's bet on himself for 350000gp. Which I guess he got winning a bet from some other fight. I bet 150,000 on Drogas first fight that he would win, and he won.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 03:39 PM	Greetings i'm Karl Abend, founder of The Warlock Circle. I accept challenges for a mage duel, knock out style. The little golblin lich looked over at the warlock. He hummed as he approached and walked around him in a circle. Looking him over he stopped and grinned with his half jaw. "Hmm.. Well boy, I'll take ya on. Good ol mage duel to get the ol bones workin again. But do ya think your MIND can HANDLE it!?" Gurgetar cackled loudly, smacking his knee a bit as his weird little grin faded. "So, ya think ya can handle ol Gurgetar?"
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 04:21 PM	6 Racial HD + 4 Class Levels + LA(+6) = ECL 16 You know, I think that there is some misscalculation here: Racial HD and LA are basiclly the same thing - the LA is what actually tells you that you are this and this levels higher than others and the Racial HD is like saying "because of your high LA you have aquired the following". Am I right?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 04:23 PM	He has 6 outsider HD AND a +6 Level Adjustment. For a total ECL of 12 for his race only.
De Batavier 12-01-04, 04:23 PM	The little golblin lich looked over at the warlock. He hummed as he approached and walked around him in a circle. Looking him over he stopped and grinned with his half jaw. "Hmm.. Well boy, I'll take ya on. Good ol mage duel to get the ol bones workin again. But do ya think your MIND can HANDLE it!?" Gurgetar cackled loudly, smacking his knee a bit as his weird little grin faded. "So, ya think ya can handle ol Gurgetar?" Yes i think i can. So how do we go about this?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 04:27 PM	We'll have to work it out later, Orcy has got a dnd game comin up, so he wont be able to do anything tonight. Unless you'll be on later. Its about 4:30 where Orcy is, and he wont be back until around 12ish, maybe back in for a quick stop after eating or something.
De Batavier 12-01-04, 04:48 PM	Well it's 22:45 where i live. So i'll be resting on one ear soon. Oh and i don't know where to find or use online dicerolers, so i could use a little coaching in that department. Well we can start the duel whenever you want and it fits in my schedule. Oh maybe i should warn you. I spent every single gold piece i owned. So this will be for honor and fame.
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 05:36 PM	Well it's 22:45 where i live. So i'll be resting on one ear soon. Oh and i don't know where to find or use online dicerolers, so i could use a little coaching in that department. Well we can start the duel whenever you want and it fits in my schedule. Oh maybe i should warn you. I spent every single gold piece i owned. So this will be for honor and fame. here's two Online Dice Rollers: - Vacuum Elemental Games (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/rolldata.asp) - Invisible Castle (http://invisiblecastle.com/index.php) I prefer the castle. as for that you spent all gold - Orcy can take whatever is on you and receive gold for it, if you ofcourse play on gold.
turalisj 12-01-04, 05:49 PM	hmm, invisi castle seems to be pretty good. oh, and the only reason my ic character will be taking the defeat so hard it that he once was a young adult bronze dragon. the age diffrence is quite large when you look at it. it would be like a 12 year old slamming orcy around. (no offense oh green one)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 05:57 PM	Alright, Orcy has a few hours now, so if yer still around, Orcy can do this thing.
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 06:21 PM	Alright, Orcy has a few hours now, so if yer still around, Orcy can do this thing. Who's still around?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 06:24 PM	Orcy was talking about De Batavier, unless someone else wants to duel Gurgetar.
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 06:26 PM	Orcy was talking about De Batavier, unless someone else wants to duel Gurgetar. Wait here
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 06:29 PM	Are you using the goblin lich? I'm in, anyway. KO. no gold.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 06:43 PM	Erm... 22 will save eh? Well, what the heck. Worst that can happen is I lose nothing. Initiative: 23 Gurgetar wanders out onto the battlefield, stopping 40ft from the center as was customary, to place the combatants 80ft apart. He looked around and then cracked his neck, ready for the battle. Edit: hold on a second, Orcy was just looking at yer Rakshasa character. He noticed you didnt take into acount the +7 LA. A Rakshasa has 7 HD AND a +7 LA. Meaning he starts off as a 14th level character, then you can add class levels.
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 07:00 PM	Edit: hold on a second, Orcy was just looking at yer Rakshasa character. He noticed you didnt take into acount the +7 LA. A Rakshasa has 7 HD AND a +7 LA. Meaning he starts off as a 14th level character, then you can add class levels. What? How's that possible? The two are merged into one. are they not? What's the difference?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 07:03 PM	The HD is how many well... HD, levels of the creatures race you get. Where the LA is the adjustment added to that based on abilities and other such things. LA and HD are two different things. The total ECL of a creature is its HD plus its LA. So HD+LA=ECL.
turalisj 12-01-04, 07:06 PM	@orcy- can i switch improved unarmed strike, since it is useless for me(forgot about the claws) with expanded mind? and can i also swithc some of my powers around-none that i already used of course
Tenzhi 12-01-04, 07:07 PM	The HD is how many well... HD, levels of the creatures race you get. Where the LA is the adjustment added to that based on abilities and other such things. LA and HD are two different things. The total ECL of a creature is its HD plus its LA. So HD+LA=ECL. And class levels. Racial HD+LA+Class Levels=ECL.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 07:09 PM	@orcy- can i switch improved unarmed strike, since it is useless for me(forgot about the claws) with expanded mind? and can i also swithc some of my powers around-none that i already used of course Sorry, what you've got is what you've got once you've used the character in a battle. As long as it isnt horribly overpowered of course. And yes Tenzhi, Orcy meant all HD, class levels included.
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 07:10 PM	So you mean that even IF it is always the same number (HD and LA) it will be two different things?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 07:12 PM	Yes, HD and LA are two completely different things. Take a look at the Toll, they have 6 HD and a +5 LA. Making them an ECL +11 race. So they cant be the same thing, because then they would have a free level in there. Its stated somewhere Orcy just doesn't remember where.
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 07:15 PM	@orcy- can i switch improved unarmed strike, since it is useless for me(forgot about the claws) with expanded mind? and can i also swithc some of my powers around-none that i already used of course If you have the gold, there's a book I know that will grant you the ability to replace all of your feats with others. But that of course only if you have the gold.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 07:21 PM	If you have the gold, there's a book I know that will grant you the ability to replace all of your feats with others. But that of course only if you have the gold. That was one of Orcy's favorite items on hero battles and such when he still played WC3.
BronzeBeard 12-01-04, 07:28 PM	Its stated somewhere Orcy just doesn't remember where. If you could remember where than it could be a great help. Besides this means that I have to start my character again, damn! Let's what the Savage Species have to say about this.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-01-04, 07:34 PM	Page 172 in the 3.5 DMG. Bottom of the page under "Starting Level of a Monster PC." It says it in the first two lines.
Tenzhi 12-01-04, 07:58 PM	Let's what the Savage Species have to say about this. Page 5, as a definition of Effective Character Level (ECL): "A creature's effective character level is the sum of its level adjustment, Hit Dice, and class levels."
De Batavier 12-02-04, 04:20 AM	WEll I'm back orcy so i'll roll initiative and see if you respond initiative 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40682) Karl Abend moves to 50ft distance from the center. His opponent does the same. They now stand at the customary 100ft distance for a mage duel. Karl Abend stands ready to begin the fight. Looking to the judge who is giving the starting signal. He hopes he can move first I'm ready for you Gurgetar :cool: Thanks for the diceroller BronzeBeard I'll be gone to work for a few hours. So see you later.
BronzeBeard 12-02-04, 07:30 AM	Page 5, as a definition of Effective Character Level (ECL): "A creature's effective character level is the sum of its level adjustment, Hit Dice, and class levels." I know, I know. But I remember that the SS have something to say about how to ignore the mentioned ECL penalty and I believe the UA has too.
Tenzhi 12-02-04, 08:09 AM	I know, I know. But I remember that the SS have something to say about how to ignore the mentioned ECL penalty and I believe the UA has too. They give methods to buy LA off, but not to ignore it.
BronzeBeard 12-02-04, 09:44 AM	With the UN's method I will be able to buy LA off only past level 21. And while I'll use it I will want to use also the SS method of using monsterous classes. Problem is that the SS is a 3e compitable and thereby gives me something like immunity to all spell, except 9th level and epic, and other stuff according the 3e compatible Rakshasa. So I'll be gonna start building the 3.5e Rakshasa Monsterous levels but I'm concered that I would mess everything up.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 01:03 PM	WEll I'm back orcy so i'll roll initiative and see if you respond initiative 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40682) Karl Abend moves to 50ft distance from the center. His opponent does the same. They now stand at the customary 100ft distance for a mage duel. Karl Abend stands ready to begin the fight. Looking to the judge who is giving the starting signal. He hopes he can move first I'm ready for you Gurgetar :cool: Thanks for the diceroller BronzeBeard I'll be gone to work for a few hours. So see you later. Mind Orcy using the roll he made to fight against bronzebeard, since that fight never actually started?
De Batavier 12-02-04, 01:17 PM	That means you go first :eek: Go ahead
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 01:29 PM	Gurgetar wastes no time getting right into the battle. He pulls a staff from his back, twirling it around he slams the end into the ground, the pauses. On top of the staff a hamster is clinging on for dear life. He blinks for a second and is about to speak, but the hamster cuts him off. "What are y..." "Err... mind your own business and cast the spell." Gurgetar shakes his head and finishes off his spell, sending a blast of force around him. A mental pressure begins forcing down on his opponent's mind. Attempting to change it, to affect it with, something else. Afterward, Gurgetar quickly, well, as quickly as a goblin can move, goes forward at a diagonal. Casting Confusion, Will save DC 23 Then moving diagonally 20ft. If you fail the save you'll do nothing but babble incoherently next round. (Orcy rolled for the random behavior) Orcy's rolls are here (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurgetar1#137123 )
De Batavier 12-02-04, 01:36 PM	Karl Abend sees his opponent casting the spell. He wants to respond, but he can't form a coherent thought Will save 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40709) Hi bye do blalbla p is now warlock this cat boat Darn :(
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 01:43 PM	Gurgetar grins, knowing that his opponent will retaliate if attacked however, he quickly activates a spell from his ring. Gurgetar disappears from sight in a quick flash. Leaving nothing behind him. Then, while invisible, he makes a quick move a bit closer to his opponent. Using Greater Invisibility from my ring, then moving foreward 30ft. (for some reason Orcy was thinking 20ft for goblin move speed, but Orcy was wrong) Next round, you'll flee from Gurgetar at the top possible speed, but you don't know where he is anymore. So its up to you if you want to run away from where you knew he was or not. That would probably be what would happen.
De Batavier 12-02-04, 01:46 PM	Karl Abend sees his opponent disappear. He want to run away and runs full speed away He runs 120ft
Sssargoth 12-02-04, 01:52 PM	He runs 120ft quite possibly into a wall
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 01:57 PM	Gurgetar smiled, he really did love his spells. Those that affected the mind were powerful abilities indeed. He held up an invisible hand, sending five streaks of light flying out at his opponent. All of them connecting flawlessly. He then quickly moved away, in a diagonal motion again, so he wouldnt be caught between his previous position and his enemy should he launch an attack, which was very likely. Magic Missile for 21 damage Diagonal for 30ft. This round you retaliate since you were just attacked. So you try to attack me in some way. Also not that you are now up to the arena wall. You cant run away any further. Though you could run to the opposite end of the arena. Confusion: 10 rounds
Sssargoth 12-02-04, 02:09 PM	The young red coes up to the gambling booth. "I wish to place a small bet on the insane little goblin that he will win. Is 700,000 gold sufficient?"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 02:14 PM	ooh, that reminds Orcy. A small hamster walks up the dragon's back. Hopping down onto the table with a note in its mouth. It drops the note and scampers off, down the red dragon's tail. The note says: Gurgetar wishes to place a bet on himself for 45,000gp
De Batavier 12-02-04, 02:20 PM	Karl Abend regains some of his mental faculties when he is hit by the magic missiles. He returns fire whit his enhanced (if allowed under confusion) eldritch blast so that it has a longer range. (used eldritch spear) ranged touch attack 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40716) deals if hit 7d6+ 2d6 (item) = 38 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40718) d100 for concealment 59 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40717) HPs = 70- 21 = 49 OOC: do you still check for what the random action would be, if you are attacked. It could be act normal, which would mean a better action than attacking.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 02:22 PM	Well, Gurgetar cast the spell before he moved, so you would be attacking an emtpy square if yer sending the blast at the spot Gurgetar cast from.
De Batavier 12-02-04, 02:23 PM	It would
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 02:37 PM	Gurgetar watched the blast fly to the spot he was standing a bit earlier. He nodded in approval, that blast probably would have done some damage. He pointed a finger at his opponent, sending a blast of lightning out from his finger. He then again moved, this time the opposite direction, closing the distance a bit more. Casting Lightning bolt: Reflex DC 20 43 Damage if you fail the save, 21 if you pass. Then moving diagonally again 30ft Orcy would say that you don't roll, because it says as long as you are confused (under the affects of the spell) you retaliate when attacked.
De Batavier 12-02-04, 02:53 PM	Agree. save = 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40725) HP 49-21= 28 Karl Abend again fires his blast. He increases the range with his Eldritch spear invocation. He tries to spot changes in the areana floor to determine where his opponent is. Spot = 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40726) He sees some dust clouds and uses his eldritch blast on that location.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 03:03 PM	Gurgetar watched the blast fly past him, it was much closer that time. He sends another set of magic missiles at the man, this time he makes them more powerful. Larger missiles fly foreward to strike out at the target. Gurgetar then takes a single step to his side. The hamster on his staff shook, not wanting him to stay anywhere near where he was. Gurgetar just smiled, he knew it wasnt long now. Empowered Magic Missile 16x1.5= 24 damage Then a 5ft step to the side. As for the spot, The dc to notice a character who is invisible is incredibly high. Considering the ground floor of the arena is pretty solid, there arent really footsteps left.
De Batavier 12-02-04, 03:10 PM	hps 4 Don't know the DC actualy but assumed 6 was to low. There are not that much options left than trying to figure out where he's at ;) Because my action must be an attack. What is the estimated distance the magic missiles came from?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 03:14 PM	Roughly about 100 or so feet away. Orcy really needs to start keeping track of this stuff...
De Batavier 12-02-04, 03:19 PM	Oké Sensing the fight is over and Karl Abend will not be able to use his other abilities while under the influence of the confusion spell. The knock out duel ends and Gurgatar is clearly the victor. Karl didn't even hit him once :surrender
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 03:26 PM	Gurgetar nods to the people in the arena, coming out of his invisibility. He waves and nods to Karl as well, he had put up a good fight, despite Gurgetar's powerful mental effects. The hamster on his staff stood up bowing and waving about as well. Gurgetar, having forgotten it was there, looked at it in a bit of suprise. Then grabbed it and put it back into the cage, shaking his head. "Good duel, good duel. I shoulda turned ya into a hamster so ya couldnt do that blast thing. But hey, it was more fun this way."
De Batavier 12-02-04, 03:30 PM	You had the jump on me, thats all. Well that difficult to shrug off confusion spell might have helped too. Well i'm still accepting all challengers for a knock out mage duel. Even you Gurgetar, maybe you will not be so lucky next time.
turalisj 12-02-04, 05:23 PM	hmmm, it seems sssargoth is massing quite a king's ransom in gold.... pardon the pun frosty :D would the insane little goblin like to face an equelly insane half dragon tiefling? :D i need to regain my money after that loss.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 05:25 PM	Gurgetar looks around the arena. He puts his staff on his back, crossing over the other one thats already there. He heads up into the stands and looks for challengers. "Anybody else up for a good butt whoopin? Wantin ta have me a bit of fun. Anybody?"
turalisj 12-02-04, 05:30 PM	turalisj walked into the stadium floor, his truesteel fullblade shining in the sunlight. " i will face you goblin. this will be a knockout only, am i correct?" oh, and each of my follows bets 25 gp if you accept :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 05:38 PM	Gurgetar hops into the arena heading over to stand 80ft away from Turalisj. He nods his head looking him over. "I'll fight ya, but I aint wagerin nothin less you got the gold yerself. So you can bet on yerself all ya want, just not with a wager. So, lets get this thang goin." A group of hamsters cheer from the side of the arena. Sitting on top of the wall they clap and throw out comments. "Whooo, yeah, whoop on him!" "Get him boss, slap him and call him Susan." Initiative: 18 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurgetar2#137155 )
turalisj 12-02-04, 05:47 PM	initiative=15 rolling under the name tj1 i bet 550 gp on myself.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 05:54 PM	Gurgetar twirls his staff around. Pointing it at turalisj, the eyes of the hamster design on top flashes. A thing cloud of fog rolls in around Turalusj as Gurgetar takes a few steps backward. Casting Mind Fog, you need to make a DC 24 will save or take a -10 penalty to will saves and wisdom checks if you fail. Moving back 30ft. Putting us 110ft apart. Gurgetar bets 90k on himself
Dyne 12-02-04, 05:57 PM	Ok, I've changed the betting system so that you actually win money now ;) : Beardith - wins 20000gp on Sssargoth. Orcy - wins a Staff of Enchantment and 65000gp. turalisj - loses 15000gp on himself. Dyne - wins 20,000gp on Sssargoth. Have fun :) Hey, Dyne takes offense to that. He would never gamble. He doesn't believe in it. Aseir was the one who placed the bet. [sigh] Another character to add to the sig. I'm a little bit confused on how the thing works. Does Aseir now have 220,000 gp, or did he lose 10,000 and then gain 20,000, making his total 210,000 gp?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 05:59 PM	You get back double what you put in. So if you bet 10k on Sssargoth, you get 20k back. Meaning you would have the 210,000 if you hadn't bought anything yet.
Dyne 12-02-04, 06:01 PM	You get back double what you put in. So if you bet 10k on Sssargoth, you get 20k back. Meaning you would have the 210,000 if you hadn't bought anything yet. That's what I thought.
turalisj 12-02-04, 06:05 PM	turalisj tries to shake off the fog but can't seem to.he merely smiles as his weapon becomes coated in a thick layer of black slime. manifested truevenom weapon of my fullblade.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 06:15 PM	Gurgetar laughs at the poisoned weapon. Didn't this guy know anything about undead? He pointed a finger at turalisj, five shining bolts flying out from him and launching at Turalisj. Striking without fail they sting into the man's flesh. Taking a single step back he cackled. Empowered Magic Missile for 22 damage We are now 115ft apart.
turalisj 12-02-04, 06:18 PM	turalisj merely shakes his head at the demented little things as a disk of pure energy appears in front of him and he takes a few steps back. manifested force screen- +4 to ac. backed up 40ft. we are now 155 ft away.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 06:25 PM	Gurgetar shrugged, moving up toward the man he grinned. He pointed his finger at him again. This time a bolt of lightning shot out, striking at the man. As the crackling energies rolled through the air Gurgetar yawned. moving up 30ft then casting Lightning bolt DC 20 ref save. 38 damage if you fail 19 if you succede at the save. Since when do you have a 40ft move speed?
Demonfey 12-02-04, 06:29 PM	Turalisj, you really need to work on your strategy.
turalisj 12-02-04, 06:34 PM	boots of springing and striding grant a +10 to speed. my armor of quickness gives me a +5 to speed. my base speed is 30. turalisj yawn as he sticks out his hand and absorbs the blast. "you really need to do your homework, i'm half bronze dragon. puny electrical attacks don't even faze me." as he speaks the scratchs and cuts on his body close up slightly. lets see, i took 29 damage in total....i healed 17 damage so i now have... 57 hp. pp spent: 14.
turalisj 12-02-04, 06:37 PM	Gurgetar shrugged, moving up toward the man he grinned. He pointed his finger at him again. This time a bolt of lightning shot out, striking at the man. As the crackling energies rolled through the air Gurgetar yawned. moving up 30ft then casting Lightning bolt DC 20 ref save. 38 damage if you fail 19 if you succede at the save. Since when do you have a 40ft move speed? duh! :doh: i'm immune to electrical damage thanks to being a half dragon. your bolt wouldn't even touch me! it would just bounce away or something. :D thank you dragon blood
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 06:39 PM	Gurgetar cackled, this was going to be one very easy fight. He held up his hand, launching another set of magical missiles at his enemy. Striking into the mans flesh to burn at him once more. Hitting flawlessly yet again. Gurgetar took a single step foreward, it was time to get rough. Empowered Magic Missile: 27 damage
Demonfey 12-02-04, 06:39 PM	But how does it heal you? Normally, that only happens if the entry for the species actually mentions that you are healed by a certain type of damage.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 06:42 PM	Orcy thinks he manifested a power, thats why it was 17 and not 19 healed.
turalisj 12-02-04, 06:43 PM	But how does it heal you? Normally, that only happens if the entry for the species actually mentions that you are healed by a certain type of damage. i spent 7 pp on body adjustment. that means i heal 3d12 points of damage. well, it seems i will have to end this as quick as possible... turalisj roars in pain as he runs towards the little goblin.
Demonfey 12-02-04, 06:44 PM	Ah. Fair enough. I bet a free beholder graft on Orcy's character.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 06:48 PM	Finally, he had decided to try and attack. Well, gurgetar had been waiting for this. He snapped his fingers, weaving a spell and hurling a tart at Turalisj while waving a feather around, dancing around a bit as he did so. He grinned afterward, the hamsters in the stands laughing because they knew what was coming. Tasha's Hideous Laughter Will save DC 21 or fall over and into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. Don't forget the -10 from failing the save against mind fog.
turalisj 12-02-04, 06:52 PM	as turalisj neared the goblin, his face contorted into a grin and he fell over laughing and rolling around on his back. i hate you....... oh, and i moved 40ft last turn.
Demonfey 12-02-04, 06:55 PM	I'll take monetary value equal to the value of the beholder graft. POST 900! YEAH! :D :D :D :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 06:57 PM	Gurgetar himself started laughing as he watched the man fall to the ground. He laughed and cackled in between phrases as he sent another blast of magic missiles at his downed target. Empowered Magic Missile: 28 damage
BronzeBeard 12-02-04, 07:10 PM	Say, where does one find rules for half races characters?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 07:11 PM	what kind of half race?
turalisj 12-02-04, 07:18 PM	can i have my men carry my beaten body out of the arena? oh, and i guess demonfey gets 2 beholder grafts.... :confused:
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 07:19 PM	Gurgetar makes one final blast of magic missiles, these ones weaker than before, but more than enough to get the job done. Flying out of his finger, the missiles flash across the distance between Gurgetar and the laughing form of Turalisj. Striking into him, they burn his body one last time, knocking him out completely. Gurgetar nods and waves to the people in the stands, hamsters coming down into the field to climb back into his box. Sure, go ahead and have them carry you out. No rules against it after the fight is over.
Demonfey 12-02-04, 07:19 PM	oh, and i guess demonfey gets 2 beholder grafts.... :confused: Or money to be able to make them...or other things. :devil: :plotting: :evillaugh
BronzeBeard 12-02-04, 07:25 PM	what kind of half race? Does it matter?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 07:27 PM	Yes, because certain half races are from different books. There Half-Illithid in Fiend Folio along with half Troll. There the half-orc and half-elf in the PHB. Theres the half races in the MM. As for just a general template for half races, there is ONE, but it was made by another poster.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 08:38 PM	A tall figure walks into the arena, inclining his head towards the Orc before him. Timothae is a gaunt, almost wasted looking human of a bit over above average height, but not completely unattractive for all that. He wears a silk headband from which hangs down a short, very thin brown veil that completely cover over and hide his eyes, and ends just below his high cheek bones, with a slit dividing it just above the tip of his nose for proper breathing. From behind the veil is a mass of extremely curly, sandy hair that grows naturally close to his head with streaks of grey. His complexion is slightly pale, and he sports a well groomed, slightly darker colored beard that has grey and white hairs despite his obvious youth, and only goes around his chin, melding into a moustache. His wardrobe consists of a pair of baggy linen pants that he has tucked into the tops of his thick, knee-high sailor's boots. He wears a simple tunic and vest, along with a deep, dark green leather cloak oiled and hooded to keep off the elements. There is something a bit off with his appearance however, his features are vague, and his movements seem unreal and slightly out of focus. His head turns towards the orc saying in a no-nonsense voice, "With your permission, I ask to use your arena for a sparring session for a superior of mine who wishes to test me. Is this to your approval?"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 08:43 PM	Orcy looks the young man over. He taps his chin and nods toward the boy. "Well, that is what the arena is here for. Orcy would have to say yes, go right ahead. But keep note of the rules of the arena. You do not need to ask, as long as a battle is not currently being fought. The arena is open to those who would do battle in it."
BronzeBeard 12-02-04, 08:53 PM	Yes, because certain half races are from different books. There Half-Illithid in Fiend Folio along with half Troll. There the half-orc and half-elf in the PHB. Theres the half races in the MM. As for just a general template for half races, there is ONE, but it was made by another poster. I'm looking for a half-rules to make a half-race that I have 99% sureness that is not found within any other published material.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 08:54 PM	This conversation would probably be better for the characters board, but let Orcy take a guess... hmmmm...... half Rakshasa?

The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 09:11 PM	Timothae clasps his hands before him and inclines his head towards Sssargoth. Initiative: 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40766)
Sssargoth 12-02-04, 09:17 PM	The red dragon walks into the customary position for a battle, with a silly grin on his face. Innitiative: (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Sssargoth2#13717 3) 7 Your going first
turalisj 12-02-04, 09:24 PM	i bet 200 on sssargoth. @sssargoth- you'd better win or i'm challenging you do a fight to the death!
The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 09:28 PM	Timothae starts to walk back to give some room when he turns about to face Sssargoth and says, "Perhaps on second thought you should forfeit to me, Lord, for if you were to harm me badly then it would be some time before I could come to the Guild's aid. As well, it might be a blow to Sir Tur's pride to know that I have been tested by you instead of he." Suddenly before your eyes Timothae's entire form becomes a bit difficult to follow, fading slightly out of phase with his surroundings. His movements stream slightly and the sounds of his movements seem to be dampened. -- Using Suggestion, psionic (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersQtoW.html#suggestion-psionic) and increasing the DC by +4 using my Impose Will ability. I'm also of the oppinion that this is a very reasonable suggestions, giving a penalty to Sssargoth to resist it. Triggering my cloak of dreams as well. Edit: I believe with my Will mod this all gives the power a DC of 22
Sssargoth 12-02-04, 09:39 PM	"Yeah, your probably right. Bye,bye." The dragon walks out of the arena. Failed the save with a 16
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 09:41 PM	"Well... it would seem that Timmy here has won. As a result of Sssargoth's forefeit. Alright then... so be it. Timothae has won.
Demonfey 12-02-04, 09:42 PM	Timothae starts to walk back to give some room when he turns about to face Sssargoth and says, "Perhaps on second thought you should forfeit to me, Lord, for if you were to harm me badly then it would be some time before I could come to the Guild's aid.

The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 09:43 PM	Was hoping that would work :dancin: Looks like you lose 200 GP, Tur :P -- This reminds me of a quote from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 'Oh.' says man, "That was easy." He then goes off to prove that black is white and kills himself on the next pedestrian crossing.
turalisj 12-02-04, 09:45 PM	Was hoping that would work :dancin: Looks like you lose 200 GP, Tur :P -- This reminds me of a quote from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 'Oh.' says man, "That was easy." He then goes off to prove that black is white and kills himself on the next pedestrian crossing. now you have me to fight! and i would only need an 11 to beat the save.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 09:48 PM	Gurgetar laughs from up in the stands. Looking over at Turalisj he shakes his head. "Havent you lost enough lately? You just keep throwing yerself down there and bettin money, just losin it all aint ya? You think you can beat him? I doubt it my little laughing friend. Now I on the other hand..." Gurgetar cackled at the thoughts running through his own head. The little hamsters next to him mimicing his cackle.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 09:50 PM	Timothae turns at the sound of Turalisj's voice, "Sir Tur, I thought you resting?"
turalisj 12-02-04, 10:03 PM	"i am fine" the tiefling says."i was just purchasing some equipment." he points to the longbow slung across his back. "now, are we sparring or not?"
The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 10:07 PM	Timothae inclines his head. "We will." --- Initiative: 7 (blech) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40770) My partial fading into the dream plane via my Cloak of Dreams ability lasts for 9 hours, so its barely been used. It gives me: 17 extra hit points +3 to AC +3 to will saves against mind affecting effects
turalisj 12-02-04, 10:15 PM	"it seems i will be going first...." as turalisj speaks he apears in front of Timothae, his blade out. he brings it down on the poor soul. initiative-14 move action-charge-x2 movement. 2x40=80ft. attack roll-21 damage roll1-17 damage from weapon ability-4 total damage-21
The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 10:39 PM	Timothae blurs to the side but not quick enough to avoid the blow. It lands heavily across his side, but what the sword slices off disipates into nothingness, though a long scratch is made along his side. Timothae turns his head towards Tur and his mouth sets in a grim line. -- Cloak took 17 of the points, and so I suffered only 4. Now causing Tur to have an extreme Aversion (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersAtoC.html#aversion) to his own weapons and spending 6 extra power points to raise its DC by 3. Will save DC 26
baerdith 12-02-04, 10:55 PM	Placing 30 K bet on Timothae to win.
Sssargoth 12-02-04, 10:57 PM	Placing 30 K bet on Sssargoth to win. that fight is over. bet is declined. Check a few posts down from that
The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 10:57 PM	Guess you should hand over the gold... :looloo:
baerdith 12-02-04, 11:04 PM	that fight is over. bet is declined. Check a few posts down from that Saw it and fixed it. I guess I thought the fight would have lasted longer. I might have to jump in on this fight thing :evillaugh

The Vorpal Tribble 12-02-04, 11:10 PM	repeat post
turalisj 12-02-04, 11:24 PM	i can't believe this..... turalisj gasps at his weapon and flings it to the side. instead he opens his mouth and electricity flows out. damage 26 reflex deals half. you need to make a save of 14 or higher.
baerdith 12-02-04, 11:28 PM	:rofl: Yeah vs Tur. I don't have much connfidence in his character.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-02-04, 11:29 PM	:rofl: <== This looks a lot like Turalisj in our last fight :D
turalisj 12-02-04, 11:30 PM	:bored: :waits: thats just not funny. i have other weapons besides my sword you know. and i just used my breath attack. next up is the clawing and biting.
XunValDorl of HouseKilsek 12-02-04, 11:37 PM	:appears in a burst of shadow and black fire, the smell of brimstone hangs heavy in the air. he is dressed in his black shadow full plate armor, at his side his his consort Shayna (Female Succubus 25th level Sorcerer). decides to sit ans watch any battle that will go on:
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 12:11 AM	Timothae is already diving to the ground the moment he saw Tur's lips part and misses the brunt. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40781) However, he is so close that Timothae can't move fast enough to avoid taking a glancing blow to his left arm and leg. He rolls back up to a kneeling position, the left side of his body twitching erratically from the shock. His face takes on a tone of slight sadness and a vibrant humming pulses out from his position as he looks up at his attacker. -- As seen, got the reflex save but am now down to 22 hit points. I'm done with the fancy stuff. I'm using Mind Thrust and augmenting it by 12 points to do 13d10 points of damage and using my Impose Will to make it a DC 28 will save required. If you fail your Will roll, you suffer 89 points of damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40782)
turalisj 12-03-04, 06:59 AM	:eek: you do realize i had only 69 hp to begin with, don't you? meaning that you're attack just killed me since i couldn't possibly make that save......
De Batavier 12-03-04, 07:03 AM	If it was knock out combat the powers of the arena would save you from dying, IMO. You would just be..knocked out Karl Abend watches the mental attack and realizes that the ones called psions can deal out a lot of damage. Well after getting my b....losing from Gurgatar. I'll still want to enter an other mage duel. So accepting challenges for a knock out duel using only spells and/or spell like abilities. (this includes psionics using transparancy :teach: )
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 09:08 AM	:eek: you do realize i had only 69 hp to begin with, don't you? meaning that you're attack just killed me since i couldn't possibly make that save...... You CAN NOT die in a knockout out fight. All damage delt is subdual, so no, you werent killed. You are however, out cold.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 09:12 AM	Second round Gurgatar
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 09:54 AM	"If you insist, I can go another round. Think your mind can handle it this time?" Gurgetar cackled, stamping his foot on the ground he smirks.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 10:09 AM	Depends if he wins the initiative and saves agains confusion. ;) The character has a bigger ego than is good for him. Ofcourse i'm ready. Your luck must run out sometime. Karl takes his position. Both contestants are ready to go. They wait for the signal of the judge. Init = 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40836)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 10:20 AM	Gurgetar readies himself for battle, cracking his neck he hops up and down a bit, then turns toward his opponent. He readies himself in a goofy combat stance, the hamsters cheering him on. Except for one, who is grumbling and trying to bite through the bars. initiative: 22 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurgetar3#137202 ) After the start of the fight is announced Gurgetar grins again. Pointing his staff at the man across from him while walking foreward. His words become a twisting pleasing wave. Coming down upon Karl and pushing at his mind. Compeling him to act. "If you walk from one end of this arena to the other, you'll win the match. However you must walk the whole way, not run." Moving up 20ft and using suggestion. Will save DC 22.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 10:26 AM	Karl listens to the words of his opponents and suddenly realizes the wisdom of them. He starts walking. How big is the arena? Does Karl get an other save if he is attacked? Action: double move moving 60ft Hps 70 Edit. ORcy the range on suggestion is close. Distance is 80ft after you moved. Or are you using suggestion, mass?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 10:37 AM	The arena is 200ft long, so you move 50ft to the wall then 10ft back toward Gurgetar? If you get hit you do nothing until you complete the action. Gurgetar grins, sending a set of magic missiles at Karl. He grins, knowing full well that his opponent would need to reach the other end of the arena before fighting back. Then, he quickly takes a step to the side to clear a path for the man. Empowered Magic Missile: 31 damage Then 5ft step to the right. Edit: Guess I'll have had to.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 10:48 AM	could he still use free actions to protect himself while performing the task? If so, Karl feels pain from the magic missiles when the make contact with his flesh. He wills his body to heal itself. activate free action: fiendish resilience 2 (fast heal 2 for 2 min.) Karl still sees the wisdom of walking the distance of the arena moving 60ft hp 70- 31 = 39 range between combatants 60 ft + 2.5 ft (half of the 5ft step as estimation) Edit: walking, doesn't have to mean dubble move, agree? Karl could still walk if he used a standard action and a move action
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 10:58 AM	He has to complete the task, it doesnt really say anything about being able to defend yourself or not, with those kinds of abilities. But you wouldn't be making any attack actions or anything. Gurgetar grins, sending a bolt of lightning flashing out at his enemy. At this rate, he should be able to stop him before he can even complete the task. He took another step to the side. Gurgetar really did love playing with minds... Lightning Bolt, DC 20 ref save. 32 damage on a failed save, 16 if successful. Another 5ft step. Edit: Yes, he could walk and use a standard action, but he tries to accomplish the task as quickly as possible. Orcy believes..
De Batavier 12-03-04, 11:06 AM	agree no attacking Darn saves. While walking Karl is suddenly hit by a lightning bolt. He didn't expect that the walk to win this battle would be so hard. Karl decides he must protect himself even more. He uses his walking unseen ability invisibility 24 hours He continues walking to the other end of the arena move 30ft Just one hunderd more and i'm the winner he thinks Hp 39- 32 + 2 = 9 range: 35 ft rounded down
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 11:11 AM	Gurgetar raised an eyebrow, they'd never tried that one before. However, he was prepared, he knew well that mages tended to use invisibility... he himself had the last battle. He activates the right on his finger, giving him the ability to see those who are invisible. Gurgetar uses see invisibility from his ring.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 11:18 AM	Believing he is in no danger Karl just walks his walk of fame. moving 60 ft Just an other 40ft and i'll have beaten him this time, thinks Karl hps 9+2 fast healing =11 range 95 ft Edit: agree on the fast as possible, but you can't suggest something that would clearly kill someone, which includes walking when some is trying to kill you IMO. Think we solved it in a nice and elegant way now by allowing defensive actions and ofcourse still walking (as suggested)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 11:24 AM	Gurgetar lifts his hand, sending a last powerful set of magic missiles at the man as he walks toward the far wall. The darts of light streaking across the distance and slamming into Karl's invisible form. Gurgetar cracks his knuckles and grins. Empowered Magic Missile (just in case): 27 damage. That should be enough for the knockout... but Orcy just realized he forgot to bet on himself :weep:
De Batavier 12-03-04, 11:29 AM	Again Karl loses from Gurgetar. Well seems you won, again. I like to learn more about your mind affecting powers. Seems you have studied hard to make them more effective. I noticed that they are more difficukt to shrug off as you would expect. But if i would win initiative, i would win, thinks Karl Again a good fight Orcy. Though i lost, again, i enjoyed it. Well think i need more practise. Still accepting mage duel challenges. Edit: Yeah you could make a fortune by beating me..
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 11:37 AM	Gurgetar grins and nods. "Oh yes, I've developed them quite well. Been my focus through my life... and death as the case would be. The best way to beat an opponent is to make them do what you want. Or turn them into a hamster, either way." Gurgetar put his fists on his hips. Tilting his head back and laughing. The hamsters stood up and did the same, tilting their heads back and making little hamster laughs, except for one. Who was busy trying to scratch at Gurgetar through the cage, growling in frustration that he couldn't reach him. Yeah, it was a good fight. Orcy feels a little bad about that one, but Gurgetar doesnt. Besides, Orcy could make a fortune betting against a lot of people. Like someone who shall remain nameless. You would probably whoop on Gurgetar if Orcy didnt have his tricks.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 11:55 AM	There is a invocation, Karl doesn't have it, that would add the charisma bonus to a save. Though wouldn't have helped, because you beat me at initiative too. His saves are a weak point. And he still has to make a to hit roll for his eldritch blast most of the time. So i don't think that winning the initiative would mean Karl would win the fight, but i don't think it could go much worse either ;) Yes making an other do things you want them to do is good strategy. Though your empowerd magic missiles our also very usefull.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 12:06 PM	Before the recent fight Timothae leaned down and helped Tur up and put his arm around his shoulders and half-carries him out of the Arena with much effort... --- Yeah, Psions are nasty... if they have only one or two opponents they can hurl everything at. After that psions just wear down.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 12:14 PM	"Well, the only psionic I've fought here so far wasnt much of a challenge. I begin to doubt their eh... power lets say. Hoo hoo, anybody else want a go at me?" Yeah, psions can be nasty at high levels... well.. they ARE nasty at high levels. That augment stuff gets just insane.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 12:47 PM	Seems we're the only ones that want to fight Gurgetar. And i want to wait a little before we square off again.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 01:01 PM	Anyone who wants to battle Timothae will have to come to the Psionics Foundation personally and ask for him. He's not a brawler, so wouldn't volunteer himself, but a magic/psionic sparring he would accept of course to train himself.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 01:25 PM	Well Timothae how about a knock out mageduel?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 01:51 PM	Timothae inclines his head towards Karl Abend and nods to Orcy upon his thrown and stands placidly at one end of the arena. -- Initiative: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40870)
De Batavier 12-03-04, 01:53 PM	KArl travels to the psionic foundation the voice his challenge. Sensing Timothae respons he quickly returns to the arena. He takes his position, 100ft from where his opponent will stand and looks at the judge for the starting signal. init = 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40871) edit From the corner of his eye he sees that Timothae is responding to the signal the judge has given Haven't won an initiative yet and i believe i have the better bonus :(
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 02:12 PM	Timothae bows his head, in weariness it seems, and for several moments the scene about him blurs and changes and becomes unreal. The view of a vast, moonlit ocean superimposes itself around Timothae. It streaks past at phenomenal speed, and nightmarish beasts fly past or leap out of the ocean but never quite reach him. The view changes and a hard to follow figure flies out from the scene into the Arena. He resembles Timothae, but his veil is gone, and where is eyes should be are holes of unfathomable distance, and tiny white lights dance and twirl about the others within. His beard and hair are a brilliant white and his clothing of fine pale silk. He reaches within the scene and grabs at the water which immediately freezes into blocks of luminescent ice. With bluring speed he lies them down and repeats his actions until within the blink of an eye a great wall has been constructed. It stretches for 90 square feet in all directions, and completely blocks Timothae from view. --- Constructed a permanent Wall of Dreams (http://my.photosleeve.com/TheVorpalTribble/album03/aap?full=1) at its maximum density for my PrC level of nine inches thick.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 02:16 PM	Cool description Karl is confused and a little scared of this sudden wall. What strange trickery is this, he thinks. But this time he has a change to activate his own powers. First he calls upon his body to prepare for healing (activation as a free action fiendish resilience =fast healing 2 for 2 minutes) To finish things of he makes him self invisible, invocation walk unseen (invisibility 24 hours). In this state he considers himself unseen, but still thinks it wise to leave his old spot in the arena. He moves 30 feet to the side Edit: sorry but i'm probably will be offline in 15 minutes give or take a few. We'll see if we can have a few more round before that. If your character didn't move range between them is about 115 feet (take the 100 from the start and half what mine moved to the side.)
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 02:28 PM	Timothae suddenly appears at the top of the wall at an impossible angle and turns his head from side to side. He frowns slightly and disapears back down. Behind the wall and unseen by his opponent, Timothae sits and his being that crosses into dream follows the path of the subconscious and into Karl's mind... -- Using Sense Link, Forced (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersQtoW.html#sense-link-forced) to see through your eyes, and therefore know exactly where you are in the arena :) To get me out of your head will require a DC 23 Will save, as am upping the DC by 4 using Impose Will.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 02:45 PM	Karl realises that he can't get to TImothae unless he destroy parts of the wall. But first i must make the range as big as possible before i start destroying his little hidding place. moves back 50ft to the arena wall range 165ft So had a small break for this post. active abilities/invocations/ etc of Karl fiendish resilience 2 (rounds 2 of 20) walk unseen
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 02:54 PM	Heyas, I didn't think you would be back soon so edited to manifest Sense Link, Forced and was redoing my post while you were posting it seems. I can take it back or continue, whichever one, your call.
De Batavier 12-03-04, 03:17 PM	Short break I don't mind, but don't forget that Karl is invisible (walk unseen). If you can't see him, how can you target him?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 03:32 PM	Well, I'm not sure telepathic powers require line of sight, don't see that in the XPH, but as it is questionable I'll just give up that chance to do something and continue on...
De Batavier 12-03-04, 03:42 PM	I don't know either. But it seems to me you must know where someone is before you can manifest a power. Think line of sight goes untill stated otherwise. If someone knows the answer please post. I'll throw a save anyway. It's 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40879) To keep the battle going, i accept you can look through his eyes. Karl Abend notices the pressure in his mind and senses someone looking through his eyes. Berfore he moves he closes his eyes and keeps them tightly shut Edit: this is added to the earlier post ofcourse. Your turn
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 03:44 PM	An eerie, deafening wail rises up from behind the wall and a completely blurred creature leaps up to the top of the wall and starts running with wild abandon for the spot Karl was last seen at. This freak of existence resembles Timothae in only the abstract, as it appears he has become one with a nightmare. His entire form is lean and predatory and his hair has grown long, and wild. His eyes are missing, and in their place were pulsing orbs of light, chasing and roating about one another. The features are that of an utterly insane being appearing inhumanly weary and its movements are manic and overly energetic. He opens an unhinged mouth that showed a veritable forest of never ending needled teeth and lets out another cry, looking this way and that. -- Manifested my Dire Dreamself ability. And found the spot that says I have to have line of sight so don't worry about my sense link: "You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you manifest a power on or to any space in which you with to create an effect."
De Batavier 12-03-04, 03:54 PM	Don't know the effect of that ability...so if it influences Karl say so. At the terrible sound Karl opens his eyes, knowing his opponent will also see through them. He looks around and sees the terrible shape Now is my chance, Karl thinks.He uses an vitriolic eldritch spear: eldritch blast + virtiolic blast (essence invocation, makes damage acid ignores spell resistance) + eldritch spear (blast ivocation range 250ft). He also makes use of his greater chausable of fell power (+2d6 on blast damage) Ranged touch attack 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40880) damage from 9d6: 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40881) Vitriolic blast continues to deal 2d6 damage for the following 3 rounds Ofcourse his opponent can now see him. The invisibility is gone Active ability fast heal 2 round 3 of 20
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 04:01 PM	Gurgetar hums. He taps his chin trying to decide who to bet on. He decides that hes going to go with the one he hasnt fought. Knowing that he has at least a few powers over the mind. Gurgetar takes a bag and sets it down. "Think I'll bet 45,000 on the that psion guy there with the creepy toys."
De Batavier 12-03-04, 04:14 PM	I found the targeting rule in the psionics SRD, bolded the relevant part. But let the present battle continue how it is at this moment. Your character able to see through Karls eyes. AIMING A POWER You must make some choice about whom the power is to affect or where the power’s effect is to originate, depending on the type of power. The next entry in a power description defines the power’s target (or targets), its effect, or its area, as appropriate. Target or Targets: Some powers have a target or targets. You manifest these powers on creatures or objects, as defined by the power itself. You must be able to see or touch the target, and you must specifically choose that target. However, you do not have to select your target until you finish manifesting the power. (....) Edit: oh this is also interesting to know for future battles: Failing a Saving Throw against Mind-Affecting Powers: If you fail your save, [b]you are unaware[b] that you have been affected by a power So Karl closing his eyes to through you off isn't allowed either
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 04:39 PM	The creature screams in pure, utter hatred as the acid washes over it and bits of it stream off into nothingness. It dashes forward and leaps with a powerful lunge at Karl, its claws glistening. It comes down with a painful slash across him, followed by a bout of weakness. Charge attack: 30 (natural 20 but failed critical) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40887) Damage from 1d4+4: 5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40889) + one point of strength Timothae, surpringly enough, runs out from behind his wall and jogs towards Karl, slowly fading from sight... -- TRICKED YA! :dancin: This Dire Dreamself has 46 hit points (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40884) but is now down to 15 as it also failed its 20% miss chance. It is now using Psionic Lion's Charge (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersGtoP.html#psionic-lions-charge) and Strength of my Enemy (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersQtoW.html#strength-of-my-enemy) which it can manifest as a swift action. In turn I am using Cloud Mind (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersAtoC.html#cloud-mind) and increasing the DC by 4 by way of Impose Will once I'm within range. To continue seeing me requires a DC 23 Will save. This power lasts for the next 15 minutes. Note: A Dire Dreamself isn't a mind affect but a real creature given temporary life and is pulled from my darkest dreams and emotions. Hope I got everything right, this was complicated... :crazy:
De Batavier 12-03-04, 04:58 PM	Karl has dr 4/cold iron. So damage taken is just one and the strength. Fast heal 2 heals the damage. str drops to 9 Karl feels the strength leaving his muscles. He screams at the creature Karl takes a step back carefull not to allow an opening for this strange being 5ft step back. Then he uses his blast on the creature again. Sensing the creature is badly hurt he uses an hellrime blast damage: 29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40894) cold damage due to the hellrime. Also a save against DC 10 + (spell level = 1/2 15 or 4 which ever is higher) 7 + 7 (char mod) = 24 result -4 to dex for 10 minutes. Save is only for the secondary effect, damage is dealt normaly. 1stround of 3 for continued acid damage 2d6 on the creature= 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40893) Karl looks around for his opponent he sees him manifesting a power cloud mind (spellcraft check 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40897). Karl notices that he still sees Timothae save = 29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40897) He tries to hide that he can see Timothae bluff 42 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40900) and looks around startled Sorry this time i'm realy are going off line. Need some sleep for tomorrow. Cool battle. Good rp-ing. Looking forward to your respons. Later.
turalisj 12-03-04, 05:07 PM	wait.... :doh: i had a crit when i used my fullblade but didnt even realize it! owelll. i bet 2000 on tribble. hoping to regain some cash.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 06:11 PM	The Dire Dreamself continues advancing and screaming as huge chunks of its being are frozen and fall to the ground, shattering and disolving, but it can only go a few feet before its legs give out. The floor seems to engulf it as it disapears without any trace of it ever having existed. Timothae doesn't for one moment believe your act as he felt your resistance. He inclines his head towards you. You feel a twinge of uncertainty as he stands there which rapidly grows and grows as waves of depression and feelings of inadequacy wash over and through you. -- Using Ego Whip (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersDtoF.html#ego-whip) and spending an additional twelve power points to do 14 points (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40906) of Charisma damage if you fail a DC 27 Will roll (added +4 to the DC using Impose Will once more). You also stand dazed for a round. If you make the save you only take 7 points of Charisma damage and aren't dazed (though you may burst into tears) :evillaugh P.S. Bluff wouldn't work in this case since i know better: From the SRD Succeeding on a Saving Throw: <snip> ....Likewise, if a creature’s saving throw succeeds against a targeted spell you sense that the spell has failed. You do not sense when creatures succeed on saves against effect and area spells.
turalisj 12-03-04, 06:32 PM	i may actaully win money off this :D i should bet on the favored to win more often. although it looks like they are just about tied........
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 06:49 PM	Tied? Well, maybe in time, but at the moment he's down by one strength point and possibly 14 charisma points and I'm uninjured in all ways. It'd been easier though except Orcy has banned half a dozen or more of my abilities because they'd end the battle too quickly as well as declaring two of my feats off limit for the same reason :rant:
turalisj 12-03-04, 06:54 PM	Tied? Well, maybe in time, but at the moment he's down by one strength point and possibly 14 charisma points and I'm uninjured in all ways. It'd been easier though except Orcy has banned half a dozen or more of my abilities because they'd end the battle too quickly as well as declaring two of my feats off limit for the same reason :rant: that's because you made sssargoth forfit and had me throw my weapon to the side. of course, if i had realized i had a crit you wouldn'y have lived long. owell, i'm getting 4,000 gp from the match.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-03-04, 07:01 PM	Actually its because he has instant knockout powers and instant kill powers. He also has the ability to manifest while unconcious. Which would make him never loose.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 07:02 PM	that's because you made sssargoth forfit and had me throw my weapon to the side. Oh, no, I get to keep those. I'm talking about one-use save or wins. Psionic sleep, phantasmal killer, dream prison, dream's fatal embrace, crownfire, death urge, psychic crush, morality of isolation... However, even if you had scored a critical, I'd still have been able to blast you ;)
turalisj 12-03-04, 07:03 PM	i get a x3 for my weapon. you wouldnt have lasted. 2d10x3 averages out to 30.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 07:08 PM	It averages out to 30, but still not a for sure thing. Could also have blasted you while unconscious. You still would have won by default, but the victory would have been a bit soured.
turalisj 12-03-04, 07:23 PM	then there's my breath attack. it would have finished you, putting you at -3. see, you're weakness is you have very little hp.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-03-04, 07:32 PM	Aye, though 56 HP isn't 'too' bad.
turalisj 12-03-04, 07:42 PM	yes well. it seems you're going to win. so i'll just take my 4k and be on my way.......
Tenzhi 12-03-04, 07:45 PM	A voice in the crowd shouts, "Boo! He's throwing the fight! It's rigged!" An angry murmur spreads through the crowd... ;)
Dyne 12-03-04, 07:48 PM	What's going on now? I haven't been able to keep up with everything that goes on, and it'll take me a while to read through several pages to get caught up.
De Batavier 12-04-04, 10:05 AM	The Dire Dreamself continues advancing and screaming as huge chunks of its being are frozen and fall to the ground, shattering and disolving, but it can only go a few feet before its legs give out.

Bluff wouldn't work in this case since i know better: Well i figured the fact you can see yourself through Karls eyes is a give away ;) . Only realised that myself after posting Well first the save = 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40940) This brings down Karls charisma to 25- 14 =11 :eek: It also means he is dazed this round. What is the range between them, if the jog was double move i figure the characters are about 90ft apart. (Karls at the arena wall.) The joy Karls feels in destroying the strange creature suddenly fades. His confidence to win this fight fades as the foul influence of Timothae's power washes over him. The shock makes Karl hesitate to long and he sees Timothae is preparing for a next trick. active fiendish resilience 2 rond 5 of 20 Edit: On a side note Timothae's 24 in wis gives a +7 modifier :)
The Vorpal Tribble 12-04-04, 10:34 AM	Timothae continues to stand there, silently facing you as the situation seems to grow more and more hopeless. You can't win. Why try? Don't even bother. Nothing is worth bothering with anymore. Just give up... --- Continuing to Ego Lash (and augmenting by 12 power points) for another 8 points (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40907) of Charisma plus another round of dazing on a failed DC 23 Will save. 4 points of damage if the save is made. Is there a psychiatrist in the house? :schemes: (Oh, and not particularly sure how close we are... but Ego Whip has a range of 200+ feet, so I know i'm reaching you at least)
De Batavier 12-04-04, 10:47 AM	Save = 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40941) Charisma = 11 -4 = 7 Again Karl feels the foul influence upon his soul. This time, however, he responds immidiatly. He blast with a virtiolic eldritch spear Ranged touch attack = 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40943) (25 if within point blank range) damage 9d6 (7d6 blast +2d6 item) = 32 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40944) Acid damage Continues dealing 2d6 for 3 rounds Active Fiendish r = round 6 of 20
The Vorpal Tribble 12-04-04, 10:53 AM	(Heyas, don't know much about magic, but someone was telling me that the spells a Warlock (or whatever you are exactly) can cast depends on their charisma level. Being taken down to 7 are you still able to use Viotrolic eldritch spear?)
De Batavier 12-04-04, 11:13 AM	This doesn't go for the blast itself, so it wouldn't change the damage. On the invocation vitriolic blast. I can only find that a DC associated with invocations depends on charisma. So i honostly don't know if it works or not. But invocations aren't spells. They're spell-like. So if you or anyone knows if a spell-like ability becomes useless if an ability becomes to low, please tell. Or maybe i missed it in CA. So please tell. But i'm sure, as far as that is possible with d&d, about the eldritch blast itself not being affected, but am open to different opinions. But to keep the battle going, just make your move and see what Karls status is after that. If he is still standing and can counter attack the potential acid damage probably will be irrelavant, because (if i'm correct) Timothae can not take 9 hps of damage which is the minimum. So just let's see what happens on your turn, oke? :cool: Edit: Oh and the range also depends on if it is possible because the spear part is also an invocation.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-04-04, 11:14 AM	(OOC: Leaving for most of the day, so whether you cast or I save or whatnot, I hit you with another Ego Whip afterwards, dealing 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40950) more points of charisma lost and daze on a DC 24 Will save (augmenting plus using the last of my Impose Will) or 5 points of charisma if successful. Also trigger my cloak of dreams. Be back in a bit! ) :cool:
De Batavier 12-04-04, 11:22 AM	save = 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40951) The last thing Karl thinks before entering a catatonic state is: Hope the acid gets him damage = 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=40952) That's leaves you with 4hps. The judge ends the battle. Timothae is still standing while Karl is knocked out
The Vorpal Tribble 12-04-04, 01:48 PM	Heyas, back earlier than I thought. Good fight :) However, just realized that with your Charisma reduced by 14, your will was actually lowered by around 7 as well. So my second use of Ego Whip wasn't beaten off by you and you were actually in a daze for a second round and weren't able to acid douse me, giving me time to use Ego Whip a third time. Not trying to take any satisfaction away from you or anything, but I actually won the fight at full health :coolcthul
De Batavier 12-04-04, 01:56 PM	Why? Will is based on wisdom.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-04-04, 02:11 PM	Guess your right... all this time I thought it was Charisma based. Don't make much sense to me though. Charisma = force of personality and whatnot, so what does Wisdom gotta do with will power... bizarre. Oh well, closer than I thought then, though my cloak of dreams raises my hit points back up by 17 or so, and Empathic Transer lets me give the acid damage back to you ;) Also... was that the REAL Timothae? :evillaugh -- Timothae bows to Karl's form and then nods to Orcy. As he walks out of the Arena his form blurs and dances before the eyes of any looking and fades from sight. The dreamwall remains standing in the midst of the Arena, untouched, awaiting to be used by the next combatant...
De Batavier 12-04-04, 02:19 PM	Yep Timothae knocked Karl out while Karl was still at full hitpoints. Good that his charisma is his highest ability score, else that first attack would have finished it. Oh Karl wouldn't mind acid that much. He has resistance 5 add the +2 fast heal and he can take 7 damage, which is the average of 2d6 He just needed one more little blast.. :tantrum:
The Vorpal Tribble 12-04-04, 02:22 PM	Oh, I don't transfer the acid back to you, just switch my damage for your health. Your resistance and fast heal don't heal it either :cool: Empathic Transfer, Hostile (http://srd.pbemnexus.com/psionicPowersDtoF.html#empathic-transfer-hostile)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 02:23 PM	Orcy waves his hand, bringing Karl back to conciousness and full health. The looks toward the dream wall, pointing his palm toward it. The wall poofs and disappears from the arena floor and Orcy leans back in his chair. Meanwhile, Gurgetar hops up and down while he collects his money. Dancing about a bit and strutting out of the arena.
De Batavier 12-04-04, 02:29 PM	Yep, i see it. But you must come very close to use it, touch or 20ft if you spend more pps (which lowers the max you could transfer considerably). Makes using this power a bit dangerous, i think Karl nods to the judge. Salutes his opponent and leaves the arena.
turalisj 12-04-04, 09:10 PM	:cool: i just gained 2k.... *walks out jingling his money in his pocket* who is next in the fights?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 09:14 PM	Gurgetar points his boney finger at Turalisj as he collects his money. The small glowing orbs that are his eyes shine with anger. He pounds the end of his staff on the ground and growls. "You and I have something to work out! You were stupid enough to attack me and now I challege you to a battle! If I win, you become one of my hamsters, if you win... you get your friend back."
Dyne 12-04-04, 09:19 PM	Hearing Gurgetar's words, Aseir starts checking his pockets for stuff to bet on the battle, assuming Turalisj accepts.
turalisj 12-04-04, 09:19 PM	"there is nothing to work out, except that stench that follows you every where. it smells like gerbil pellets. i will accept your challenge with a little change, if i win you must return all the hamsters under your control to thier natural forms, with thier memories intact. you sre a vile creature and must be done away with. or is the price too high now?"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 09:25 PM	Gurgetar taps his chin. Looking over turalisj he grins. Nodding to himself as he looks down at the hamsters. "Very well, if you win, then I will let loose all the hamsters I have. Except one, who is far too dangerous to be let loose. But remember, your word will be binding if you accept."
Dyne 12-04-04, 09:27 PM	"Excellent. I wish to bet on Gurgetar to win. I place this staff as my bet." He puts an ebony staff on the table. "It is my very own Staff of Shadow. It is worth 48,674 gp."
turalisj 12-04-04, 09:28 PM	"vry well. i will meet you in the arena in one hour. there are some items i must secure first." with that the tiefling walks out of the arena. purchased ring of counterspells from the shadow slayers forge. :D and that uses up my 4k.
Dyne 12-04-04, 09:56 PM	The man in black looks back and forth between Turalisj and Gurgetar. "Well? Are you just gonna stand around and talk, or are you gonna get to battling?"
turalisj 12-04-04, 10:01 PM	"i am ready, yet my foe waits on some unknown reason. is he going to be cowardly? on our last fight i fought only to see his weak points. this time i will do away with him."
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 10:02 PM	Gurgetar cackles, standing on the arena floor already he looks toward Turalisj. "I've been here the whole time waitin fer you wimpy. Now get on over here so I can hamsterize you!"
turalisj 12-04-04, 10:06 PM	initiative=10 i will avenge my cohort.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 10:19 PM	Initiative: 23 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurgetar4#137628 ) Gurgetar smirks as he looks Turalisj over. He crosses his arms, tapping his staff on his head a bit. His eyes flash brightly and turalisj can feel his power pressing down upon him. Using confusion, DC 23 will save. If you fail you are confused and will attack the nearest creature. Well, that one backfired this time, but it wont next round!

I am so tempted to summon a pidgeon very close to Turalisj, so that he will attack it. But, I can't because the Arena rules forbid it.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 10:49 PM	Almost forgot, Gurgetar bet 67k on himself.
turalisj 12-04-04, 11:09 PM	turalisj easily shrugs off the spell. he walks towards gugeter, swinging his fullblade. manifested defnsive precognition. +4 to all saving throws and ac. 10 pp used.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 11:11 PM	First, what name are you rolling under, second. Is that all yer doing?
turalisj 12-04-04, 11:17 PM	i manifested defensive precognition. i payed 9 extra pp and thus gained a +3 to the already +1 bonus on saving throws and the +1 to ac. i am rolling under tj5
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-04-04, 11:21 PM	Gurgetar raises an undead eyebrow. He smirks and raises his hand. The ring on it flashing once, when the flash disappears, so does Gurgetar. He then moves away from the crazy sword swinging fool under his invisibility. Using greater invis out of my ring then moving to the right 30ft.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-04-04, 11:22 PM	A figure slinks in, sniffing the air warily and feeling the ground with his toes before putting the weight onto his foot. Behind him a dire wolverine towers over him, its claws tapping on the stone floors. He is a slightly short, sleekly muscled young man with dark brown skin with an underlying red tone. His hair is a dark black and hangs in dreadlocks that have been bound together behind his head with leather ties. His face is thin and angular, with a nose that is consistently flaring in and out as he keeps nasal awareness of his surroundings. His wholey black eyes are quite large and nocturnal, appearing almost as a deformity. The gaze that comes from them are overly bright, and wholey feral, seeming more animal than sentient. His corded arms are long for his size and has thickly calloused hands from which grow sharply taloned fingers. Dark green lines have been stained to follow his veins on each arm, and here and there sprouting from the vine are ivy leaves have been masterfully drawn. His feet are thickly muscles and his toes end with much shorter talons. Patches of scars all over his body show signs of struggle with beasts of claw, tooth and beak. He leaps up and grabs some fur of the wolverine's pelt and flings himself upwards to land on its back. At this more substantial height he watches the battle silently from a safe distance.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-05-04, 12:52 AM	Turalisj... you plan to finish this fight or what?
turalisj 12-05-04, 01:18 AM	"you are a coward. whilst i do not conceal myself, you hide like a little vermin amoung people. you are wreatched and must be done away with." he says as he raised his blade in defense. took total defense and moved right 40ft. 4 to ac. so now i have a total of +8 to my ac. and +4 to my saving throws.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-05-04, 01:21 AM	"Well.. I AM an UNDEAD GOBLIN. So I suppose so." Five streaks of pure magic fly out of Gurgetar's hand striking into Turalisj. His cackle can be heard from nowhere. He grins to himself and slips foreward, since he cannot be seen, he should be out of range of any attcks. Magic Missile: 20 damage 30ft move foreward.
turalisj 12-05-04, 01:39 AM	turalisj shakes his head at the pathetic creature. as he moves further towards the wall his wounds seem to dissapear. manifested body adjustment, spending 2 extra pp. healed 13 hp.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-05-04, 01:44 AM	Another blast of magical missiles streak across the empty space. Flying out and swirling around, right before hitting turalisj can see that they look like hamsters making mocking faces. Then they dive into his body burning him. Gurgetar takes a step to his side. Empowered Magic Missile: 30 damage 5ft step toward his left.
turalisj 12-05-04, 01:52 AM	boring of this fight, he once again healed himself as he moved towards the wall. manifested body ajustment, healing 33 points. spent a total of 12 pp on the last power. moved a further 40 ft towards the wall.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-05-04, 01:58 AM	Gurgetar gives chase, following after the fleeing half dragon. He leveled his staff toward him from his invisible location. He was growing tired of this, time to stop being Mr. Nicegobby. His power flashed out toward turalisj, pressing down on his mind and body. His body trying to shift and change itself. Gurgetar's voice echoed in Turalisj's head. "You will never defeat me. You'll regret attacking me at the throne." Moving up 30ft. Using Gurgetar's Faithful Pet. Fort save DC 24 or turn into a hamster If you fail the fort save, will save DC 24 or you lose all your powers and become a hamster in mind as well as body. You are also at the arena wall now. Unless you were moving toward gurgetar's starting position.
turalisj 12-05-04, 12:55 PM	:w00t: beat save. i got a 36 :P wouldnt there have been any kind of sound or such?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-05-04, 01:18 PM	Not really, gurgetar taunted you telepathically. He whispered the command word for the staff really quietly too... Though you can always roll a listen check.
Dyne 12-05-04, 03:04 PM	So, is the battle still on? My character has some money wagered on the fight. If not, I'm up for a good Mage Duel.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-05-04, 03:07 PM	The battle should still be on, Turalisj just seems to have disappeared again.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 12:32 AM	Orcy is begining to grow impatient... it shouldt take three days for a battle...
Bait the Bard 12-06-04, 01:31 AM	:mymy: This has just become waay to hard for me to keep track of bets, so I'm going to start off a new thread to house all bets; The Betting Booth. Enjoy :)
turalisj 12-06-04, 07:21 AM	alright fine........shouldn't his invisbility spell be over? :confused:
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 09:15 AM	Nope, he used greater invisibility
turalisj 12-06-04, 05:27 PM	then i will just have to keep you busy until it wears off. turalisj moves south along the wall. and then takes the total defence action......the one fight where i could lose it all...... :(
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 06:00 PM	Gurgetar scratches his chin from his invisible position. He shrugged and hurled a set of magical bolts out once more. Striking across the distance and stabbing into Turalisj's body. Gurgetar then took a single step to his side. Empowered Magic Missile: 33 damage. 5ft step.
turalisj 12-06-04, 06:05 PM	once again turalisj's beaten body healed itself. he merely moved further south, waiting, hoping for a weakness. how many rounds until your spell is over? body adjustment:healed 32 hp.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 06:13 PM	Gurgetar gave chase, following after the fleeing man. He leveled his staff toward him again. A spell pressing down on him once more as a cloud of fog rolled in around him. He could feel it trying to drain his own will. Invis rounds left: 6 Fog cloud. Will save DC 24 or take -10 penalty to will saves and wisdom checks.
turalisj 12-06-04, 06:30 PM	choking under the pressure of the cloud, turalisj saw the opprotunity he needed. he ran forward and electricity crackled as it launched from his mouth. breath attack damage 26 reflex save of 19 halves the damage. moved towards the cloud 40ft.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 06:51 PM	Gurgetar smirks as the electricity passes harmlessly through his body. He pulls out his other staff and points it at the half dragon. He chuckles to himself as his spell strikes out. A powerful force wrapping itself around the half dragon's mind. Gurgetar's voice echoes in his head. "Gotcha." Hold Person: Will save DC 22 or be unable to act. Gurgetar is immune to electricity damage, as he is a lich.
turalisj 12-06-04, 06:56 PM	great. your turn seeing on how i failed my save by 8. and that was the only trump card in my deck......
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 07:13 PM	Gurgetar sends five streaks of shining light at his immobile opponent. The bolts strike into his body. Stinging him with their magics. Gurgetar cackles, still hidden by his spell. Empowered Magic missile: 22 damage
Demonfey 12-06-04, 07:39 PM	Orcy, why do you use magic missile so much?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 07:40 PM	Gurgetar isnt an attack focused character. He uses magic missile because it never misses and does about the same as an average lightning bolt when empowered. It really is a pretty good spell, even higher up.
turalisj 12-06-04, 07:42 PM	i have no options, do i? i can't see you, so i can't hit you. my only trump card failed. i have no options.....unless........
Demonfey 12-06-04, 07:44 PM	Gurgetar isnt an attack focused character. He uses magic missile because it never misses and does about the same as an average lightning bolt when empowered. It really is a pretty good spell, even higher up. Point.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 07:55 PM	You gonna do anything Turalisj? Try and break out of the spell maybe?
turalisj 12-06-04, 07:57 PM	there's nothing i can do. i'm doomed until the spell wears off.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 08:09 PM	Gurgetar grins, moving closer to him he fires yet another round of missiles at the half dragon. He knew it would be over soon now that the half dragon was helpless. He cackled as he fired his missiles, the missiles digging into the man's flesh and burning. Gurgetar's voice rang out in Turalisj's head. "Hamster Hamster Hamster." Empowered Magic Missile (again): 18 damage
bgt 12-06-04, 08:28 PM	<Come now, turalsij, you can do this! Gurgetar, should he lose, 2000 gold says I can spend a moment with him before he is transformed.>
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 08:33 PM	Gurgetar's voice rang off in bgt's head. "No... I really dont think we'll be doin that. Ya see, the conditions of the battle are set. An they aint gettin changed now. So, the answer would be no."
turalisj 12-06-04, 08:35 PM	your turn again. i tried to shake off the spell but failed. so now there are 4 turns left until i can see you.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 08:41 PM	Gurgetar hums to himself in his head and in Turalisj's as well. Just to taunt him a bit before he finishes him. He sends another round of missiles at him. A grin on his undead face. The bolts strike out, stabbing into turalisj yet again with their burning magics. Empowered Magic Missle (yet again): 33 damage
bgt 12-06-04, 08:42 PM	<What if the gold was upped to 20000? There is certainly alot you could buy with that. After all, just how much do hampster pellets cost these days?>
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 08:57 PM	Come on turalisj... stop stalling...
turalisj 12-06-04, 09:04 PM	turalisj let out a roar as he broke free of the spell. "you are a coward gurgeter!" broke free of your stupid spell.
bgt 12-06-04, 09:04 PM	<w00t!>
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 09:16 PM	Ya know... you've taken 73 damage since the last time you healed. But, just for good measure. Gurgetar hurls another batch of missiles at Turalisj as he breaks free of his holding spell. Striking into his body one last time. Empowered Magic Missile: 28 damage. Orcy is pretty sure that drops you.
bgt 12-06-04, 09:30 PM	bgt lets loose a long string of curses in Undercommon.
turalisj 12-06-04, 09:45 PM	as turalisj's body falls to the floor he sends out a mental command to sirianth and bgt "do not worry, i am sure you will defeat him. i'm sure hamster pellets can't be all that bad....." curse you! owell. siriath is now up and ready for vengence. and he won't be stopped by invisibility. :P
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 09:49 PM	Orcy brings turalisj back up to full health. Waving his arm about and healing him, then looking over to Gurgetar and nodding. Gurgetar holds up his staff, the tip flashing and a pressure being put on Turalisj's body. His form changing into that of a hamster. Gurgetar picks him up and places him in the cage with the rest of the hamsters. That is of course, if you go along with what you wagered and submit to the magic.
turalisj 12-06-04, 09:50 PM	of course, unlike some i fight with honour and do not use invisibility. now it is siriaths turn.
bgt 12-06-04, 10:05 PM	Curses! I was going to Extract Mind turalisj and have Tribble make a dream-stuff body with the extracted psyche... <Gurgetar, you shall fall.>
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 10:12 PM	Gurgetar looks over at the illithid. He shakes his head and you could almost see a grin from his half jaw and lack of skin. "Ye can threaten all ye like, but he accepted the battle. He attacked me for no good reason outside of the arena. He was the agressor. I simply finished the job. That is all that has happened. He was at fault, and now, I'm satisfied."
turalisj 12-06-04, 10:12 PM	"that he will my illithid friend, that he will." the elf turns towards the lich "gurgeter! you shall be struck down! i will not merely free your pets but destroy your body! come and see how you fair against someone who wields the mind like an ogre wields a sword!" it's kinda funny, the one thing unexpected to here from a psion is calling an illithid a friend. so, do you accept?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 10:18 PM	"Do you idiots ever stop coming? I suppose you want a fight to the death do you? You want to sacrifice your life just like that hm?"
turalisj 12-06-04, 10:21 PM	"i have lived long enough. and if i dont kill you an inevitable shall. now, let us fight." the old elf said as he walked out to the stadium floor. the warriors from the guild of evil laughed at him but he ignored them. rolling under the name of cookyoldelf
Demonfey 12-06-04, 10:23 PM	He's not a part of the GoUE.
turalisj 12-06-04, 10:25 PM	ah well. oh an initiative 14. me lucky #
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 10:26 PM	"Oh we wont be fighting just yet. If you had any sense in you, ya'd realize I need to go and prepare my spells and all that. Because I just got done with a fight. So, you can just sit here and wait if you'd like." Gurgetar turns and walks out of the arena.
turalisj 12-06-04, 10:27 PM	"very well, would anyone like to spar?"
Dyne 12-06-04, 10:32 PM	"very well, would anyone like to spar?" "I'm up for a good fight. Make it quick, though. I don't have much time." This is Bren, by-the-way.
turalisj 12-06-04, 10:36 PM	"i will allow the youth to go first.... so go and make youre move."
Dyne 12-06-04, 10:43 PM	Bren charges forward, moving 40 ft. closer to Sirianth, leaving it to him to close the rest of the distance. Double Move. Go.
turalisj 12-06-04, 10:56 PM	letsee......theres the energy cone........hmmm...which one? hmm......so many.... ohh i know....... :devil: sirianth smiles at the paladin as a missile of pure psionic energy struck brek, electricity can be heard crackling on his armor manifested a maximized energy missile. you have to make a dc 32 reflex save or take 66 damage. :P
Dyne 12-06-04, 10:57 PM	letsee......theres the energy cone........hmmm...which one? hmm......so many.... ohh i know....... :devil: sirianth smiles at the paladin as a missile of pure psionic energy struck brek, electricity can be heard crackling on his armor manifested a maximized energy missile. you have to make a dc 32 reflex save or take 66 damage. :P Come on, natural 20.... [rolls] A 29. I take 66 damage then. By "spar", I assumed you meant "practice melee combat". But, if you insist on using that psionic stuff on me, then I'll figure out a way around it. I'm rolling under Bren1 by-the-way.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 11:00 PM	letsee......theres the energy cone........hmmm...which one? hmm......so many.... ohh i know....... :devil: sirianth smiles at the paladin as a missile of pure psionic energy struck brek, electricity can be heard crackling on his armor manifested a maximized energy missile. you have to make a dc 32 reflex save or take 66 damage. :P Just for reference, how much PP does that cost?
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:00 PM	:evillaugh :evillaugh you are doomed. oh, and i bet 6k on myself!!!!
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:01 PM	Just for reference, how much PP does that cost? 15 exactly. 3 for the power 4 for using maximize power and 8 for the augmentation!!!
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:06 PM	Bren shakes off the damage from Sirianth's attack, and he charges the remaining 40 ft. He then takes a swing at Sirianth. Attack Roll: 32 (not sure if that hits, but if it does....) Damage: 15 Bren lands a blow on Sirianth, using the momentum from his charge to put more force into the attack.
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:09 PM	15 exactly. 3 for the power 4 for using maximize power and 8 for the augmentation!!! Augmentation? Don't know what that means, but you must have augmented it an awful lot, considering it usually does 3d6 damage. I don't really know much about psionics, though, so I'm trusting Orcy to keep track of everything. EDIT: Wait, I'm not sure about Psionics, but with magic, if you use Empower and Maximize on the same spell, the Maximize doesn't affect the Empowered portion. The caster would have to roll for that extra 1/2 damage. I would assume Psionics work the same way, but again, I'm not very familiar with them. Looking into it.... Hm, it looks like it maximizes the augmentation as well. Very powerful. This Sirianth may be more difficult than I thought.
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:15 PM	Bren shakes off the damage from Sirianth's attack, and he charges the remaining 40 ft. He then takes a swing at Sirianth. Attack Roll: 32 (not sure if that hits, but if it does....) Damage: 15 Bren lands a blow on Sirianth, using the momentum from his charge to put more force into the attack. ya it hits...... siriath merely laughs as tries to kill himself with his bastard sword. manifested death urge :P you have to make a dc20 will save or you have to try and attack yourself. and your attacks on yourself are autocrit!
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 11:15 PM	Orcy isnt quite sure where hes getting a 32 save DC from. Orcy gets a 24
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:15 PM	Augmentation? Don't know what that means, but you must have augmented it an awful lot, considering it usually does 3d6 damage. I don't really know much about psionics, though, so I'm trusting Orcy to keep track of everything. EDIT: Wait, I'm not sure about Psionics, but with magic, if you use Empower and Maximize on the same spell, the Maximize doesn't affect the Empowered portion.

Hm, it looks like it maximizes the augmentation as well. Very powerful. This Sirianth may be more difficult than I thought. i didn't use extend though, the energy missile range is 100ft.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-06-04, 11:21 PM	Hey Turalis, err, I believe I was banned from Death Urge :bored:
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:23 PM	Will Save: 14. I'll let you try to make him kill himself.
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:23 PM	Hey Turalis, err, I believe I was banned from Death Urge :bored: oh....um.......heh.....
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:24 PM	i didn't use extend though, the energy missile range is 100ft. :confused: What are you talking about? I wasn't talking about the range.
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:31 PM	anyway...make the attack role as if you got a nat 20. :P
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:34 PM	anyway...make the attack role as if you got a nat 20. :P Whatever. Damage: 41. Still alive and kicking.
Sssargoth 12-06-04, 11:37 PM	Dyne, just be glad Death Urge only lasts 1 roundh
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:38 PM	Dyne, just be glad Death Urge only lasts 1 roundh I know. Too bad it took up my turn. :raincloud
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:40 PM	not anymore.....siriaths face turned grim as a finall missile of energy flew from his outstretched hand. fire missile. 11d6+8=74 maximized again. dc16 reflex to get half damage
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-06-04, 11:41 PM	and Orcy is completely ignored? Turalisj how did you get a DC 32 on that energy missile?
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:45 PM	it was an electric one. qoute: electricity: manifesting a missile of ths energy type provides a +2 bonus to the save dc. ohhh, woops. so he only took 33 dmge.... woops
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:46 PM	not anymore.....siriaths face turned grim as a finall missile of energy flew from his outstretched hand. fire missile. 11d6+8=74 maximized again. dc16 reflex to get half damage Reflex: 16 (BARELY beats it. I take 37 damage). "Let's see if I can end this." Bren swings three quick and powerful blows at Sirianth. Attack1: 32 Attack2: 30 Attack3: 21 Damage1: 13 Damage2: 12 Damage3: 13 38 damage total, assuming each attack hits.
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:47 PM	yup, you won. congrats.......night...
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:49 PM	it was an electric one. qoute: electricity: manifesting a missile of ths energy type provides a +2 bonus to the save dc. ohhh, woops. so he only took 33 dmge.... woops I don't know. If Psionics are basically the same as Magic, the DC would be 30 (10 +2 level +4 Int +8 augmentation +2 electric). Wait, I could've sworn I got 30 before. Oh well, I guess I only took 33 then. EDIT: Shoot, I would've done something else then if I knew I had more HP. Wait, I won? You have that few HP? Huh, that was pretty close though. You probably would have won if you stayed out of melee range.
turalisj 12-06-04, 11:50 PM	did manage to deal 111 damage. and i only had 40 hp to start with. shows you what a psion can do to a knight. plus i allowed him to go first.
Dyne 12-06-04, 11:52 PM	did manage to deal 111 damage. and i only had 40 hp to start with. shows you what a psion can do to a knight. plus i allowed him to go first. My Paladin didn't do as well as I'd hoped. If your character was evil, I would have used my Smite ability, which would have done a lot more damage.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 12:27 AM	Umbra sits back down and taps his wolverine's head which lets out a mighty roar. Together they leap into the arena and Umbra rolls off to a crouch on the stone. He turns his head this way and that, his ears twitching and he sniffs. "Gurrrrgetarrr!" he calls out in barely comprehensible common. "Szzsshow yourrrzsself!"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 12:32 AM	Gurgetar comes wandering out into the arena mumbling. "ANOTHER one! Just great! What does this one want? Do ya wanna kill me for being an 'abomination' or do ya wanna fight me for the hamsters. Do you wanna destroy me because I did something to someone you knew? Why cant you people just leave a poor lich alone!"
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 12:37 AM	Umbra whips around and leaps back in one swift motion, turning to Gurgetar and narrowing his eyes. "Yesss," he hisses, "The little onesss. You ensslave them to you. I demand theirr rrreleassse."
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 12:39 AM	"An lemme guess, you wanna fight over it? What will it be, death, knockout? Hamsterhood? Come on rock brain, give me some ideas here."
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 12:42 AM	"If you rrreleassse them then no fight. If you do not, yesss, my claw ssshall ssstrrrike a vein. I carrre little if you perrissh orrr live."
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 12:43 AM	"Well pal, you make the choice, even if I release them they'll just come back to me. Except for the one. But hey, I aint gonna do it anyway! Now, you wanna die, or you wanna live to try this again some other day after I whoop ya?"
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 12:48 AM	"Till one of usss hitsss the dussst then. If I win, you take away yourrrr powerrr frrrom them. If you win... what do you wisssh?"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 12:58 AM	"Hmm... a good portion of yer wealth there. Thats what I'll be wantin. Lets say... twenty thousand gold worth of items and gold. Then it would be a deal. Hmm? You up for that or are you afraid?"
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 01:05 AM	"Afrrraid? Yesss, fearrr I have." he says without any hint of being embarrassment or chagrine. He then frowns in confusion, "Arrre you not asss well? Ssstrrrange arrre you then..." He listens further and scowls fiercely, "Twenty thousssand gold? Yesss, thisss isss fine, I have little ussse forrr metalsss." Initiative: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41084)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 01:09 AM	Gurgetar shrugs. Taking his place 80ft away from his enemy he readies himself for combat. "Alright pal, lets get this on with then. Come and get me!" Initiative: 11 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurgetar6#137897 )
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 01:52 AM	Umbra lowers down to all fours and without a moment of warning springs forward with the blood-chilling howl of a barguest. (45 feet) He skids to a stop and grips the floor with his clawed toes as a gravely rumble starts in his throat and reverberates through the ground. Suddenly a creature composed of obsidian rises up from the stone directly behind Gurgetar. Umbra calls out in Terran, "Do not let him move." The creature makes the noise of a hammer being run hard against rock and reaches up and move tp wrap its arms around Gurgetar. -- Using Summon Nature's Ally IV to bring forth a medium Earth Elemental and instructing it to grapple you.

Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 02:07 AM	Gurgetar grunts as the creature wraps its arms around him. He struggles but cannot get free. He grumbles to himsel then looks at his opponent. His eyes flash and his voice echoes in his head. "You do not believe you can win this battle, you should kneel down and forefeit now before you are hurt too much." Failed the opposed grapple. Using Push the Weak Mind: Suggestion type ability, will save DC 22 Concentration: 36
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 03:06 AM	Umbra freezes and his head slowly turns to Gurgetar and though his muscles tense and untense he cannot seem to find any reason to continue. He drops to his knees and says, "Forrrfeit." -- Note to all: I do this with extreme reluctance considering how his request has to seem reasonable. I am, as all can see, controlling a creature who has quite obviously grabbed Gurgetar and kept him from moving yet I am to think that there is no way I can win. I do not find this reasonable, however, OTGW does and I've been accused of trying to wriggle out of loopholes and do everything I can to get my way. I am therefore not pressing the matter further with him.
bgt 12-07-04, 11:08 AM	Orcy, I would like to have a knockout mage duel with Timothae. bgt needs to flex his psionic muscle, so to speak.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 01:40 PM	Timothae walks in and briefly inclines his head towards Mindflayer and Orc and calmly takes his position. -- Initiative: 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41560)
bgt 12-07-04, 02:12 PM	Initiative:11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41562) Your move, Tribble.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 02:22 PM	Timothae flickers and wavers and like before a scene opens up before him, though this time it shows him still transgressing within caverns. He starts punching chunks of stone out of the wall which glow red and run from the friction of his fists. He starts throwing the glops into the arena which he then flies out and shapes them like soft clay and in the course of several seconds has a wall ten feet tall and stretching into the distance on either side and completely blocking Timothae from view. All in all it is 90 square feet in size. -- Manifested Wall of Dream once more.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 03:15 PM	Gurgetar hums to himself as he leaves the arena. A bit annoyed, but otherwise he is fine. Just another one down. No exp is being given for that fight, nor is anything bet being lost. The fight was too short, and Vorpal is insistant that he shouldnt have lost. So much so that he kept Orcy up an hour after he wanted to be asleep arguing over it... But anyway, the fight is over, obviously since another has begun. Once again, there will be no exp or loss of what was wagered.
bgt 12-07-04, 03:27 PM	Wall of Dream...interesting. As bgt stares at the wall, he realizes there is little he can do at the moment, and so turns inward, searching for focus. I attempt to be come psionicly focused and end my turn. Concentration check:14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41580)
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 03:44 PM	Several eerie screams resound from behind the wall and rise in pitch and four humanoid creatures dash out from around the walls and run for you with horrible speed. These freaks of existence resembles Timothae in only the abstract, as it appears he has become one with a nightmare. His entire form is lean and predatory and his hair has grown long, and wild. His eyes are missing, and in their place were pulsing orbs of light, chasing and roating about one another. The features are that of an utterly insane being appearing inhumanly weary and its movements are manic and overly energetic. --- Releasing four Dire Dreamselves upon you. They have a speed of 40 feet, and are running for all their worth, so not sure if they can reach you this round or not.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 03:50 PM	Btw, here are the Dire Dreamself HP for reference: http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41584 Dire Dreamself A - 36 Dire Dreamself B - 46 Dire Dreamself C - 41 Dire Dreamself D - 48
Sssargoth 12-07-04, 03:54 PM	Releasing four Dire Dreamselves upon you. They have a speed of 40 feet, and are running for all their worth, so not sure if they can reach you this round or not. If your in the center of the wall on the other side it's a 170 Ft distance to get to bgt. At a full run they can get 160 Ft, so they are 10 Ft away from him.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 03:56 PM	10 feet from him... fair enough.
bgt 12-07-04, 03:57 PM	Dear god. I let loose a Mind Blast, trying to get as many as possible in the 60-foot cone. The save DC is 16.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 04:09 PM	The dreamselves continue forward with their momentum, and fall skidding to the ground right in front of you, gnashing their teeth and kicking their legs and generally going into weak throes of helplessness. They do though regain their footing, and wobble back and forth, screaming mindlessly. --- Well shoot, none of them saved. How many rounds are they stunned?
bgt 12-07-04, 04:14 PM	3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41587) :raincloud I walk to the nearest one and attemp to become psionicly focused Concentration check: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41590)
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 04:19 PM	Timothae remains oddly quiet behind the wall... --- The dire dreamself nearest you is Dire Dreamself A for convenience. Your turn ;) Btw, ten rounds per minute, correct?
bgt 12-07-04, 04:27 PM	I coup de grace the one i'm next to. It takes 22 damage (11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41607)*2), and now has to save or die. (DC 32).
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 04:31 PM	Can you coup-de-grace if they are not helpless? SRD: Stunned: A stunned creature drops everything held, can’t take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). By this they have a penalty to avoiding blows, but don't think it means they can be coup-de-graced.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-04, 04:33 PM	Stunned is not helpless and therefore the creature cannot be coup-de-graced. It states in the description of coup de grace that it is against a helpless opponent.
turalisj 12-07-04, 04:35 PM	they have to be helpless to coupe de grace.
bgt 12-07-04, 04:36 PM	Whoops! Mistook stunned for paralyzed. Sorry about that. My attack roll is 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41611). Do I hit?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 04:44 PM	The dire dreamself turns to the side slightly and is struck to its side, though the blow doesn't quite hit where you intended as its form doesn't seem to ever be quite where it seems it is. The flesh around the wound swirls a bit and closes up, though it staggers. Timothae's head peeks around the corner of the wall. -- Yup, you got it, and it has DR 10/cold iron so takes 12 points of damage and is now down to 24. Your turn :)
bgt 12-07-04, 05:21 PM	As the Mind Blast will be wearing off this turn, I Mind Blast them again.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 05:36 PM	The dire dreamselves start to blink and one slowly turns its head to look at BGT. Its eyes widen and its mouth opens to let out a deafening squeal of inhuman fury. Timothae finally comes out from around the walls and makes beckoning motions. Suddenly four other Timothaes run out and sprint towards BGT, though they go in a very careful pattern so as not to all be taken in by a single Mind Blastand circle around. All of them are yelling out songs and poems and generally making an annoyingly loud din so that its hard to hear much of anything. -- All of the dire dreamselves made their saves this time: http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41620 Also, there is no save against the ability I've been using so not letting you know what it is. Now that its the Dreamselve's round let me roll them up...
turalisj 12-07-04, 05:36 PM	come on tribble, kick the squids face.... although that's kinda funny, there's a kid at school who'm everyone calls squidward because of his huige nose...... :D
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 05:38 PM	I'm getting there, Turalis, I'm getting there...
turalisj 12-07-04, 05:41 PM	i've got 4k bet on ya pal. better not lose.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-07-04, 06:01 PM	Each of the Dire Dreamselfs run and leap at the mindflayer, their claws glinting outstretched for him. -- They are using Psionic Lion's Charge and whatever ones hit does 1 point of strength loss as well as normal damage. Charge attack roll: 22-18-10-22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41623) They have multi-attack feat and the damage each one does with the first claw is: 6-7-8-6 plus strength point (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41624) Damage for second claw for each dreamself: 8-5-5-5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41625) Damage for each bite: 6-5-8-4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41626) So in conclusion if they hit...: DD1 = 20 points of damage +1 strength DD2 = 17 points of damage +1 strength DD3 = 21 points of damage +1 strength DD4 = 15 points of damage +1 strength I think I did all this right...
turalisj 12-07-04, 08:20 PM	:cheer: *several elves with pompoms get up and start cheering* :cheer:
MoronPunisher 12-07-04, 11:03 PM	A single human enters the stands, reading a small peice of paper. Satisfied he's at the right place he tucks the paper into his sholder satchel/dufflebag and takes a seat. He watches the action, studying the fighters. "A mage battle? Something else? Interesting." Checking to make sure the chill hasn't set in his own skin, Archie striaghtens his sandals, pants, simple shirt with a ice crystal abstrat design, and the goggles on his head. He considers calling out for the next fight, but decides to wait for this fight to end first.
Droga 12-08-04, 02:51 AM	Droga sits atop a tall pillar of the stadium, watching the pitiful creatures below battle until one is unconcious. How pathetic. They do not battle as true warriors, they battle for fun and games. It truely was pathetic. These fools knew nothing of battle and combat. They simply fought without haveing the threat of death hanging over them, cowardice, that was all this was.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-08-04, 03:01 AM	---This OOC barrier placed here for the mentally handcapped--- Yup, thats right, two colleagues of the same guild strengthening their skills against one another. Pathetic isn't it? Really, they should kill each other straight out and let the strongest be the victor. Sure the Guild will be out of effective members before long, but what does that matter as long as you can lift your bloodied sword to the sky and claim victory, eh? :twitch: ---This OOC barrier placed here for the mentally handcapped---
Droga 12-08-04, 03:09 AM	yeah... because that... wasnt? in character? Oh wait, it was.
Tenzhi 12-08-04, 03:12 AM	Tenzhi watches the battles inconspicuously from the stands. The combatants in this arena are far from achieving perfect martial form, much less enlightenment, but he enjoys watching their journey along the path. Perhaps it takes him back to the days of his foolish youth countless aeons ago, before he realized that death and unconsciousness were both mere inconveniences along the path. Every warrior must face both inconveniences at some point in their life - he just hopes that these young ones' experiences here leave them better prepared to face the former.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-08-04, 03:22 AM	---This OOC barrier placed here for the mentally handcapped--- Both of you feel free to challenge me to the death... ---This OOC barrier placed here for the mentally handcapped---
Tenzhi 12-08-04, 04:06 AM	Both of you feel free to challenge me to the death... Two things: 1. My IC observation was purposefully a direct counter to Droga's so as not to give the combatants the idea that everyone was looking on with disdain. 2. Tenzhi's unfinished stats are posted on the very first page of the Character Sheet thread - check them out and know that there is a reason I don't involve myself in direct conflict and generally only provide IC commentary and observation (two actually, the other being that I am a judge here). ;)
The Vorpal Tribble 12-08-04, 04:12 AM	Ah, so you didn't even make a fighting character, gotcha. So, how would you judge my performances in the Arena? :cool:
Tenzhi 12-08-04, 04:20 AM	So, how would you judge my performances in the Arena? :cool: Honestly? I haven't seen any of them (having limited time to read them and all). All the fights I've seen involved turalisj and left me feeling sorry for him to the point that I almost gave him divine assistance. ;)

De Batavier 12-08-04, 07:16 AM	Karl Abend is present for knock out mage duels Is there someone who want to have a...friendly match of magic powers?
turalisj 12-08-04, 07:17 AM	"i would be willing to fight in a psionics and magics duel. if you think you can handle an old elf"
De Batavier 12-08-04, 07:19 AM	Karl Abend nods in agrement Init: 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41678)
turalisj 12-08-04, 07:24 AM	you're first.
De Batavier 12-08-04, 07:31 AM	First as a free action i activate fiendish resilience = fast heal 2) Karl prepares his body so it can heal damge he is about to take in the coming battle. Then he creates a shadow around him Second he either activates enervating shadow (but the if the battle takes place in full daylight this wouldn't work, your call) = total concealment + fort save if you standing next to him (works 5 rounds, but he could use it again and again) OR KArl makes himself invisible he uses the walk unseen invocation, standard invisibility duration 24 hours Hp =70 DR 4/cold iron ER acid 5 and fire 5 activated fast heal 2 (1 of 20)
turalisj 12-08-04, 07:33 AM	well, it'll be total daylight out, so he makes himself invisible. so sirianth uses psionic true seeing. :P edit:he also moves back 20ft and to the left 20ft. :P
De Batavier 12-08-04, 07:41 AM	Oke we go invinsible. Karl knowing he is invisible and seeing his opponent still standig there, moves a little to the side. Then he attacks with his Eldritch blast. He uses two of his invocations to enhance the blast. Eldritch spear: so he can hit his opponent. Hellrime blast: he believes his opponent will not like the cold eldrtich spear = range 250ft hellrime balst = damage is cold damege + fort save or - 4 on dx for 10 min. DC = 10 + 7 (cha mod) + 7 (highest of 1/2 warlock level or spell level invocations) = 24 Touch attack = 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41680) Damage 7d6 + 2d6 (item) = 29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41681) edit invisibility end, due to attack action fast heal 2 (round 2 of 20)
turalisj 12-08-04, 05:15 PM	alrighty! ultra ultra ultrablast!!!!!!!!! :D 64 damage. :P
De Batavier 12-08-04, 05:35 PM	Karl gets hit bad. He wills his body to heal some of the damage hp 70-64+2 = 8 He returns the favor by using a vitriolic eldritch spear ranged touch attack 32 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41791) acid damage 7d6+2d6 item 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41792) This also will deal 2d6 damage on the following three rounds
turalisj 12-08-04, 05:45 PM	so wait did you deal the damage or the attack roll?
De Batavier 12-08-04, 05:48 PM	I only healed two hit points, but a Warlock has a d6 for hitdie, so i survived the initial attack. Though now i'm reading Ultrablast, i noted that we are nowhere in range. So if you want to take another action. Feel free. Oh and where can i find your rolls? Edit: I need to make an attack roll for my blast which is a ranged touch attack and then it deals damage. And the nature of my chosen blast means it deals 2d6 on the following three round. Your character is covered in acid
turalisj 12-08-04, 05:57 PM	1..2...3...blast! sirianth walks forward, barely though. he lets out one finnal blast at karl edit: moved 40ft towrds you then used ultrablast.
De Batavier 12-08-04, 06:02 PM	I assume the battle is over? It was a nice battle. I noticed you learned from your earlier battle against an invisible opponent. Sensing the end of the battle. The judge heals both duelists. Karl nods to sirianth This was a good battle. Maybe in the future we can train again, yes. Edit. A mage duel starts at 100ft. You moved back 20 and to the side 20. So moving 40 wouldn't make up for the range. I will go offline shortly and so we must clear the arena for the others. Might i suggest energy wave for your next mage duel, i believe it has sufficient range. Though it has a save, but with the right energy type you can deal a lot of extra damge per die. Well good luck in future fights. Got to go now
turalisj 12-08-04, 06:10 PM	cya, atleast i got some cash out of this....... *walks off with his bag of loot*
bgt 12-08-04, 08:00 PM	<Gurgetar! Monster! Abomination! I believe we have a bit of a grudge? Something about turning a friend into a hamster? Then not even letting me say goodbye to him in Illithid fashion?> Okay, so that was really a scheme, but I'm on a roll here :D <Gurgetar, I challenge you to a fight for the hamsters! I win, they are returned to their normal forms! I lose, I join them! And just to make this more interesting, winner claims all the loser's gold and items.>
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-08-04, 08:15 PM	Gurgetar sighs. He looks at the illithid and shakes his head, then shrugs. "Fine... whatever. It doesnt matter to me how many of you nutjobs I have to drop. You'd think you people would have learned better by now..."
Demonfey 12-08-04, 08:19 PM	Gurgetar sighs. He looks at the illithid and shakes his head, then shrugs. "Fine... whatever. It doesnt matter to me how many of you nutjobs I have to drop. You'd think you people would have learned better by now..." No matter who wins, there are always whiners, eh, Gurgetar?
bgt 12-08-04, 08:24 PM	Initiatve: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41816) We'll see who drops who, Orcy. I've got some tricks up my sleeve...
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-08-04, 08:26 PM	Initiative: 18 We shall see. Gurgetar takes his place 100ft from his opponent, standing there looking bored with all the fights he is continually challenged to.
jagggar 12-08-04, 08:30 PM	Reece enters, taking a seat wherever a neutral section has seemed to have formed. He watches the battle while glancing at those who may be future buyers for his wares.
bgt 12-08-04, 09:01 PM	<The broccoli is on the tree root.> With that thought, the movements around bgt begin to slow and stop. I've activated by Boots of Temoreal Acceleration, and have two turns while time is effectivly stoped. Round 1: Lay a bunch of marbles on the ground. Round 2: Remove a odd device consisting of a group of crystal balls. "There is no such thing as the hamster dance." With that, the crystals begin to glow and seperate, and are now orbiting each other fervently. As motion begins to return to the world, bgt sends a message to Gurgetar:<Say hello to my little friend.>
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-08-04, 09:02 PM	Care to say what that actually does? You need to say what all that was that you just did...
bgt 12-08-04, 09:25 PM	Temporeal acceleration is the psionic Time stop, the marbles are preist's bullets and there are 45 of em, and the last thing is a blast globe.
Demonfey 12-08-04, 09:31 PM	Temporeal acceleration is the psionic Time stop, the marbles are preist's bullets and there are 45 of em, and the last thing is a blast globe. priest's bullets? I don't recall hearing about those...
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-08-04, 09:32 PM	Gurgetar shrugs. He pulls a rod from his belt. Holding his palm toward the illithid a lightning bolt flashes out. The blast is huge and it travels toward him, passing right through the area he occupies. "Boom." Maximized Lightning bolt, Ref DC 22 60 damage on a fail, 30 on a success. What are preists bullets and what is a blast globe?
Cazic 12-08-04, 09:36 PM	A cloaked figure walks into the arena. After looking about the figure takes a seat in the emtiest part of the stands. "Hmmmm...A interesting fight. Should prove most entertaining. I can not wait to become fully ajusted to these lands. I would sooooo enjoy feeling warm blood upon my hands once more. Hmmm..Perhaps i will start by killing that Elf over there. I wolner if the judjes would mind if i just killed a innocent bystander or not. I would be interfearing with the fight, just killing a spectator."

Besides, if you mean me, then you are mistaken. I am no elf, but rather, a demonfey.
Cazic 12-08-04, 09:41 PM	No i do not mean you. i mean the elf standing over there. *points to the other side the the stands* the one next to the guy hold a "101 ways to cook a Drow" cook book. also what is thier "wrath"?

Having your soul sucked into a gem, if your lucky. Besides, that guy is a telekineticist, and wants to fight Gurgetar later. If you want to be allowed to spill blood, then challenge him to the arena.
Cazic 12-08-04, 09:49 PM	ok final ? on wrath will their wrath cost me my life, gold , items, or anything other than some pain and/or some time in the solitary gem confinment if i just kill some random spectator. right next to me. just sitting there. doing nothing. has no powers. is just a random dude. in the wrong place. at the wrong time. doing nothing. well????

Cazic 12-08-04, 09:58 PM	darn. thanks i am new so i wanted to make sure i knew all the in arean and in stands rules. "Hmmm...mabye i should save the blood lust for later. I just hope BloodFire isn't in town. Gem or no gem he would launce a fireball into the stands. how i invy him. always having blood on his hands."

You might want to consider visiting, too.
Cazic 12-08-04, 10:01 PM	When he gets here, tell him to check out the GoUE. You might want to consider visiting, too. i am going there. {Edit} we need to stop taking there is a fight going on.
Demonfey 12-08-04, 10:02 PM	Are u on the left or the right Demonfey??? My character is an elemental savant of fire. He could light you on fire just by coming into contact with you. And I am on your right, to make things simple. @Orcy: I did not threaten him, but rather give him a good warning about considering if you should attack someone nearby.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-08-04, 10:03 PM	Timothae strolls through and glances at Cazic, whom falls to the ground asleep. He goes over and lies a hand on Cazic's head. His form slowly fades away as Timothae places him in a Dream Prison for the next 15 hours. *strolls back out*
Demonfey 12-08-04, 10:05 PM	Why did you do that, Vorpal Tribble?
Cazic 12-08-04, 10:05 PM	*in Cazic's head* "the dude i want to kill is on the left. NOW DIE." 1000s of fire balls rign from the sky. [edit] ignore this i just posted it as a joke :D
bgt 12-08-04, 10:06 PM	W00t! Natural 20! (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41823) Priest's bullets are hollow sling bullets filled with holy water, abd they're from The Arms and Equipment Guide. A blast globe is from Magic of Faerun. It takes a full round to actvate, but after that it can be ordered to move to a creature, object or spot within 400 feet and explode as a free action. Whatever it's touching at the time of the explosion as to make a DC 19 Fortitude save or be disentigrated. The explosion covers 40 feet and deals 10d6 fire damage and 2d6 sonic damage, DC 19 ref. save for half damage from the fire, DC 19 fort. save to negate the deafness from the explosion. And it's coming for you. Fire damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41824) Sonic Damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41825) After that's done, if there's anything left of you, I'm using a Power Stone of Telekinetic Thrust to pick up 9 priest's bullets and fling them at you. Attack Rolls: 1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41826) 2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41827) 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41828) 4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41828) 5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41830) 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41831) 7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41832) 8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41833) 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41834) Your Damage reduction will absorb the damage from the bullets, butthe holy water's a different story. The damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=41835) And with that, I'm off to bed.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-08-04, 10:08 PM	If it disintigrates the target then it isnt allowed. There are no "save or die" attacks allowed.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-08-04, 10:17 PM	If it disintigrates the target then it isnt allowed. There are no "save or die" attacks allowed. What about in To the Death matches? Why did you do that, Vorpal Tribble? :uh-huh:
Cazic 12-08-04, 10:19 PM	[Edit] ignore my last post that was for fun. :D *As The Vorpal Tribble comes nearer. Cazic sences it is time to leave and after placing a illution that looks simmillar Cazic tellaports out of the arean, but right before Cazic leaves the figure grabbs the guy to the left( then non-pc person whos has no powers and is in no way shape or form a important or even semi-important person.) * pray for the guy on the left cazic doesnt treat guests very well. cough *slow painfull death* cough :weep:
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-08-04, 10:20 PM	However, since no matter what happens Gurgetar is still standing, and you only have 24 HP left. Gurgetar grunts as he is hit by many different blasts and attacks. He almost falls, but catches himself and looks up and the illithid, shaking his finger. Blasts of magic flashing out from his fingers and striking into the illithid's body and burning him as the rod flashed again. Empowered Maximized Magic missile: 37 damage That should do it.
Tenzhi 12-09-04, 01:24 AM	If it disintigrates the target then it isnt allowed. There are no "save or die" attacks allowed. That's kind of unfair. It would be better to allow them, IMO, but count the results as simply a win just like death brought on by any other means.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 01:34 AM	Orcy hasn't allowed instant death or instant knockout spells for the appropriate types of battle since the iron bands incident. It makes the battles far too easy and more of a "who can blast who first" kind of thing. Orcy wants this to be different than a single blast and you die. If it does damage, then its fine. But save or die isnt allowed.
Tenzhi 12-09-04, 01:50 AM	That's a seriously prejudiced limitation, considering it largely only affects spellcasters. You should restrict combat to light weapons and ban all non-standard movement while you're at it. ;)

turalisj 12-09-04, 07:01 AM	:rofl: 3k on gurgeter.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 09:34 AM	Um, I have Spell/power resistance 25...You never made any checks to beat that, with the lightning bolt or magic missile. Nor did you make any checks to beat my spell resistance ;) Rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurg1) The lightning bolt hit fine, the MM however did not. Assuming that orb thing there deals damage and not just desintigrates, Orcy made the save for half. He doesnt need to make a fort save however, being undead. Now, Orcy's question is how are the priest's bullets worded exactly? Do they have to deal damage to be able to let out that holy water? Or do they just have to hit? Orcy has found your blast globe, so it doesnt matter. It is an instant death item and therefore not allowed in arena combat. You can go ahead and take another action if you would like. But an item that instantly desintigrates someone isnt allowed.
bgt 12-09-04, 11:02 AM	Nor did you make any checks to beat my spell resistance ;) Haven't done anything to require beating spell resistance. ;) Assuming that orb thing there deals damage and not just desintigrates, Orcy made the save for half. We'll just ignore the disintegration part, then. I spent a decent bit of money on that and kind of staked my hopes for victory on it. Now, Orcy's question is how are the priest's bullets worded exactly? Do they have to deal damage to be able to let out that holy water? Or do they just have to hit? They just have to hit. They shatter on impact. Orcy has found your blast globe, so it doesnt matter. It is an instant death item and therefore not allowed in arena combat. You can go ahead and take another action if you would like. But an item that instantly desintigrates someone isnt allowed. :rant: I'm willing to settle for that it just deals the damage, but even that seems rather unfair to me. To say that it's not allowed altogether is preposterious! Nowhere on the rules you gave on the first page did you say that instant death/knockout effects were illegal. I bought it thinking it was legal, I challenged you thinking it was legal, and I used it thinking it was legal. You yourself used an instant knockout effect in your last battle with the Tribble! I'm chllenging this ruling.:rant: And by the way, the link to your rolls is broken.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 11:08 AM	Orcy has stated that instant death items are not allowed. Orcy's own spell was not instant death, nor was it knockout as can plainliy be seen by looking at the fight. Orcy has stated multiple times that instant death items and spells are not allowed. He thought he put it in the first post, but it appears he was wrong if it is not there. However, the fact remains that in Orcy's arena, instant death items are not allowed. Link fixed.
bgt 12-09-04, 11:17 AM	Rereading your second-to-last last post, I'm getting confused over whether you're letting the Globe stay and deal damage (and ignoring the disintegration), or outright banning it. Which is it? Also, where can I find the stats for Gurgeter?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 11:26 AM	Gurgetar's stats are in the players statistics thread. Page... 8 Orcy believes. As for the globe, no. Orcy can't let it stay because it has an instant death effect. If the item were simply to do the damage of a fireball or some such thing, Orcy could allow it. But items cannot be modified for our liking in the middle of battle. So while Orcy loves your strategy, he cannot let the orb stay. This is one of those calls Orcy doesn't like having to tell people. But as a GM he has to. If Orcy allowed instant death items and such, Droga would be killing everyone. It would, as Dyne has made a point of, become battles of who can pull the item first. Edit: Orcy is sorry, its page 7. He just added the SR because he keeps forgetting that robe gives him SR. Now that its down, maybe he will remember.
De Batavier 12-09-04, 11:31 AM	A link to Orcy's character: Gurgetar (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=4945077&postcount=207) On the discussion. I've seen Orcy state several times that instant death spells and effects are not allowed. On the other hand my character has been on the recieving end of spells which also, basicly, end the battle on a missed save. Same goes for Vorpal Tribble and Sssargoth. But please keep in mind, this is a game and we're playing it for the fun. Don't let "rules" distract us from the fun part. Happy gaming :cool:
MoronPunisher 12-09-04, 11:37 AM	Yeah, I'd like to see it too. Meanwhile, what the hell? Archie makes a firm decision. This guy has been stomping into the ground everyone that's gone against him, his quarter share has to be huge! Gods know he needs the money. "Gurgeter! I'm calling you out!" He goes forward and prays to the he hasn't just made the hugest mistake in his life.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 12:56 PM	Gurgetar mumbles to himself, his voice ringing in Archie's head. "Cant you people at least wait till I finish the battle I'm already in! What is with you people and trying to kill me anyway!?"
MoronPunisher 12-09-04, 01:00 PM	(OOC- I'm sorry, I though you were done. You guys need to add a previous post editer. Thanks for the linky by the way. I'll hold my responce until we begin.) (Edit- OOC: Oh wait. You do. Crap.)

Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 05:13 PM	Gurgetar sends a blast of magic missiles at the illithind. However, he cannot seem to hit him with them. Passing by and not striking like they should. He shrugged and moved back. MM, failed to overcome that accursed uber SR. Moving away 30ft.
bgt 12-09-04, 05:25 PM	I'll move foward 30 feet. Primary mind: Use a Power Stone of Telekinetic Thrust to fling 9 more bullets.

Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 05:27 PM	You can only thrust the objects 90ft. 10ft per caster level from where they are. So technically you cant attack Gurgetar with them because they stayed where they were.
bgt 12-09-04, 05:32 PM	There's nothing I can do then, but to move closer to you. I'll move another 30 ft. :(
turalisj 12-09-04, 05:35 PM	is it too late to add more to my bet?
bgt 12-09-04, 05:40 PM	:ahem: I'm trying to save you turalisj, the least you could do is bet 1 gp on me and post a cheerleader smile or something.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 05:43 PM	Gurgetar once again sends a blast, and once again he cannot get through the illithids magic barrier. He steps back further, growling to himself about the Illithid's accursed magic protection. Moving 20ft to the wall after a failed magic missile.
bgt 12-09-04, 05:45 PM	Move another 60 towards Gurgetar.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 06:10 PM	Gurgetar activates a spell off of his ring. He suddenly flashed into the air, flying upward. Thens stopping and looking down at the illithid. He smirked and twirled around. Doing a pose. Casting fly from my ring and moving 60ft upward.
turalisj 12-09-04, 06:23 PM	:ahem: I'm trying to save you turalisj, the least you could do is bet 1 gp on me and post a cheerleader smile or something. actually this is sirianth betting. he and turalisj have never seen eye to eye. :P besides, i need cash badly to get a graft.

Demonfey 12-09-04, 06:41 PM	I can't do those remember? But they are the price of the weapon plus 1000gp. Bgt may "know" someone who can, though, since they're illithid grafts.

It's the same illithid that took away use of my one tentacle.> :) I'll move 30 feet towards you, then use use a power stone of Telekinetic Thrust to hurl you out of the arena. I beat your SR (20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42022)) Now you just have to make a will saving throw (DC 25). I'm assuming leaving the arena is grounds for disqualification. :)

Dyne 12-09-04, 08:19 PM	There doesn't seem to be a rule in the arena for being disqualified for leaving the arena. It would make sense, though.

Orcy The Green Wonder 12-09-04, 09:14 PM	Will save: 27 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurg1#138275) Gurgetar cackles, he stays where he is and grins at the illithid. He points his finger toward him and activates his rod. A powerful set of magical missiles streaking out toward his enemy. Once again... they do nothing. Simply missing... again. Man... either Orcy is rolling bad or SR 25 is more insane than he remembers. Oh well. Oh, and only stepping out of the arena is not allowed. You cannot win by hurling an enemy out of the arena unless he touches the ground. They have to touch the ground or actually forefeit to lose by leaving the arena. Edit: nevermind this edit part here.

Tenzhi 12-10-04, 01:13 AM	If Orcy allowed instant death items and such, Droga would be killing everyone. That's not necessarily a problem with 'instant death' items, so much as a problem with the Skygge's LA being incorrect. The base race figures in nearly on par with average fully-equipped 15th level characters. It's a +9 LA at the very least. Probably higher in a more conservative game. And that's my official judgement on that. Anyone who lost a battle (or several) to Droga's character can take heart knowing that they fell facing a foe who was 3 levels or more their better.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-04, 01:45 AM	No Tenzhi, Orcy was refering to the spiralburst bottles and the iron bands of bilarro he has. Those would take out pretty much anybody in a single round.
Tenzhi 12-10-04, 02:17 AM	No Tenzhi, Orcy was refering to the spiralburst bottles and the iron bands of bilarro he has. Those would take out pretty much anybody in a single round. True enough, though there may be issues of character wealth involved there, as well. Still, that doesn't excuse the universal disallowance or limitation of class abilities (such as spellcasting), IMO. Nevertheless, this is Orcy's arena and He will run things how He will. So mote it be and all that.
Droga 12-10-04, 02:51 AM	That's not necessarily a problem with 'instant death' items, so much as a problem with the Skygge's LA being incorrect.

Don't you people ever give up on this. I'm really sick of this crap. I might as well just get rid of the character and bring out a new one if all I'm gonna see when I come on these boards is crap about my character being overpowered.

I might as well just get rid of the character and bring out a new one if all I'm gonna see when I come on these boards is crap about my character being overpowered. I don't think they realize Skygge also have Racial HD, which drains off some of the LA they would most likely have. Also the simple fact that getting rid of Outsiders is as easy as getting rid of Undead (IMO). Any Cleric worthy of being such would simply Banish or Dismiss a Skygge back to the plane of shadow. Not to mention a nice Smite since their HP is relatively low compared of a character of equla level. Same thing with other spellcasters, make sure to stay out of reach and u're dandy, just blast them a few times. That and place a nice Protection spell up and you should be right as rain. Though IMHO I still don't like DR #/<blank> AND <blank> since no other creature has that when concerning magical properties. The best option would be DR #/Adamantine and Good, because all monsters that <blank> AND <blank> have a magical property and a material. Like all devils have DR #/Silver and Good. Plus, to make a weapon 'Good' you have these options: align weapon which just makes it good; or spend the extra 8gs and make it +1 holy which is 2 birds with 1 stone or Flametouched Iron which makes the weapon Good aligned, then just add a +1 enhancement to it. either that or DR #/<blank> OR <blank>, for a Skygge personally I think it should be Silver or Good, Cold Iron or Good is taken by Demons, but would work just as nicely. If you use Eberron the best would just be DR #/flametouched iron...
Tenzhi 12-10-04, 03:55 AM	Don't you people ever give up on this. I'm really sick of this crap. I might as well just get rid of the character and bring out a new one if all I'm gonna see when I come on these boards is crap about my character being overpowered. You can be sick of it all you like, I won't stop you. But the bottom line is that your character is overpowered. It is my official opinion as a judge that it should be barred from competition, or at least presented as the equivalent level it actually is. That's where I stand on the issue, and I'm unconcerned over who likes it and who doesn't. I might suggest that if you don't like constantly hearing stuff about your character being overpowered, that you not make overpowered characters in the future. Have a nice day, The Elf-Bane
Tenzhi 12-10-04, 04:18 AM	I don't think they realize Skygge also have Racial HD, which drains off some of the LA they would most likely have. I'm well aware of the Skygge's Racial HD. The fact that they are so low is the only thing that keeps me from marking their LA 1 or 2 points higher. As I said before, the base race comes out nearly equal to a fully-equipped 15th level character. The one area that keeps it at "nearly" is their HP. But as a PC they would be fully-equipped themselves which would even it out (more likely it would put the Skygge well ahead of the PC making the +9 a level or more too low). I have no stakes in these games. I have no vendettas, and I've already frustrated some friends by my obstinate refusal to play favourites. My official judgement was requisitioned by various and sundry parties, and I have given it - no more, no less. It's up to the GMs to enforce it or not. Personally, I think Droga is an excellent roleplayer. If anyone wishes to further discuss the balance of the Skygge with me, I would ask that they do it in the Interfoundation Metagaming thread thingie or via PM so as not to further clog up Orcy's arena. It's doubtful you'll change my opinion on the matter, however. If anyone wants to be petulant about the matter, I'd ask that they please keep it to themselves. ;)

The Vorpal Tribble 12-10-04, 07:22 AM	Fine, then she could try to kill me, make it more interesting.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 10:10 AM	try filling out all the fields. ...I will just glare at you... :waits:
bgt 12-10-04, 10:53 AM	The suspense is killing me. Orcy, where are you!
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 11:19 AM	Are there already set-ups for the next match? If not it'd be nice to Mage-Duel someone. Anyone interested?
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 01:43 PM	I am. Though Orcy may want to upgrade his protective wards for the crowds.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-04, 03:52 PM	Will Save: 35 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurg1) Gurgetar rolls his eyes at the attempt. However, knowing his own luck he moves up further to protect himself from the illithid's telekenesis. He hisses out a few more arcane words, sending a blast of lightning at the illithid. Hoping that this time it might do him some good. The bolt almost peirces the Illithid's defenses, but once again... fails to harm him. Ugh... at this rate Gurgetar is going to run out of spells. Anywho... Moved up 40ft, putting me at 100ft away, a safe distance from your telekenesis. Used lightning bolt but only got a 23... Edit: Oh, and Orcy was sleeping, then at class, then sleeping, then at classes, then eating... Orcy had an exciting day....
turalisj 12-10-04, 04:08 PM	:eek: :OMG! i dont believe it!
bgt 12-10-04, 05:52 PM	Edit: Oh, and Orcy was sleeping, then at class, then sleeping, then at classes, then eating... Orcy had an exciting day.... Sounds remarkably like my day! As the last power stone falls to the ground, bgt looks up at the lich. Despite that he is undead, even Gurgetar is starting to look exhausted. Unfortunately, the lich is too far out of range for any attack of bgt's. I pass the turn. :raincloud
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-04, 06:17 PM	Gurgetar launches another set of magical missiles down at the illithid. His annoyance clear on his undead face. This time however, the missiles pierce the flayer's barrier. The missiles digging into his body and burning his flesh with their magics. Empowered Magic Missile (finally hits): 27 damage Roll VS SR: 29 rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gurg1#138363)
turalisj 12-10-04, 06:23 PM	all the hamsters stand up and cheer thier master on, some of them wearing skirts and cheering him on. :D
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 06:35 PM	Archie suddenly has the urge to freeze the hamsters to their oblivion. From what he's heard of Gurgetar he would probably be doing them a favor. Instead, he grumbles something about how annoying the Hamster Dance is and keeps his ice to himself.
bgt 12-10-04, 06:43 PM	The illithid's body starts to fall to the ground, though by the time it hits, it has become a grayish hamster with the lower left whisker missing. It scampers off to Gurgetar's feet and is stuffed into the hamster cage. It begins to devour the all avalible food. <You know, for the first stuff I've eaten in Ilsensine-knows-how-long,this stuff isn't half bad. It's somewhere between dwarf and human, with just a hint of orc.> ________________________________________ _________________ I just thought it should be known that I have some deep misgivings concerening the outcome of this fight. When I was informed that the Blast Globe were illegal, I was good as dead. I had virtually no other way to harm Gurgetar. It can be argued that I lost due to poor posting of rules, which led to inadiquate preperation. However, I'm know that Orcy's word is law here, and I'll be a good sport about it.
Cazic 12-10-04, 06:45 PM	For the first time in Cazic's life he wishes Bloodfire was here."Bloodfire would willingly burn the hamsters were they stand and end their torment. Even though he would die on the spot." Cazic chucles to himself. "I'd like to see that."

You would lose your mind after gurgetar turned you into a hamster. That was one of the agreements. Not to mention all of the items and such you own. Orcy understands that you are likely not happy with the fight. Once again he thought he changed the post. But as we have all probably seen, the boards have been acting strangely lately, so it may not have gone through during one of those little "crap outs." Orcy is sorry about this and will edit the front post now.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-10-04, 07:13 PM	Hows this sound as another rule: A character cannot be involved in two fights in a row --- This way everyone else can get their time in without it being Turalis and/or Orcy ;)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-04, 07:23 PM	Sounds good, Orcy is getting tired of being challenged non stop. He also doesnt understand why everyone is screaming about him being evil. He is an archlich, a good lich. Well, in this case a neutral one, but he isnt evil. Gurgetar that is.

Cazic 12-10-04, 07:55 PM	on the chacter timplates what does BAB mean?? i dont remember it. :confused: also isn't armor class is just dex. with out any items or spells right???
Sssargoth 12-10-04, 07:59 PM	on the chacter timplates what does BAB mean?? i dont remember it. :confused: also isn't armor class is just dex. with out any items or spells right??? BAB: Base attack bonus Armor class is everything that adds to armor.
Cazic 12-10-04, 08:18 PM	ok were does base attack bonus come from????
turalisj 12-10-04, 08:23 PM	ok were does base attack bonus come from???? omg. wat a noob. bab is the second colum on the class listings. for instance:a 5th lvl ranger has a bab of +5. do you even have any o the books?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-04, 08:25 PM	omg. wat a noob. bab is the second colum on the class listings. for instance:a 5th lvl ranger has a bab of +5. do you even have any o the books? As Orcy remembers it, you were the one that tried to add attack bonus to damage. Please don't insult the other members, or Orcy will have to smash you with his club... or his sword... which is a lot worse.
Cazic 12-10-04, 08:29 PM	ty for the info turalisj and orcy ty for defending me. also if u do that again turalisj orcy wont be the only one hitting u with a large blunt object. :D
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 08:30 PM	(OOC:- It's listed in the class description. Newb, :P Looks like it's done, Where's NightScreamer? BIG ULTRA MAGE BATTLE TIME!) Archie takes to one end of the field. If he's going to raise money for his son's cure, he's gotta start somehow. He'd prefer not to fight the hamster man yet, but if it's gotta be done. . . (OOC:- Do I PM my spell list to Orcy now?)
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 08:45 PM	There is a low groan from the earth below. The mountain top itself shakes a bit as if it were a small earthquake. The ground begins to bulge and crack, then with an explosions of rock and dirt a giant crystalline drill bursts from the underground. Writhing upwards at an almost perfect 45 degree angle it slams onto the ground crawling across the arean floor in a long slithering circle. It's large stone wheels treads into the dirt and grass, grinding it up and showing it's power. Crawling onto the arena floor, cracking the arena's stone flooring and stopping as the coach is fully on the floor. With a loud hiss jets of steam emit from the large stoney train and a rectangular piece of stone shimmies it's way out of the side of the train itself, lowering into a small flight of stairs. From the stairs walks out a tall humanoid, his cloak surrounds him completely making him look like a tall bulky shadow, his mask is half a black smiling image with a gleaming red eye, and the other half is a frowning white image with a glaring red one. Behind him you hear scuttling as the train door closes, it pulls off the arena floor and slithers it's way back down the hole from whence it came, which immediatly seals up with a sickening slurping sound. "Now... Which one of you challenges me!"
thasis 12-10-04, 08:52 PM	I realy want to kill someone real bad. Let me kill someone, let me kill someone. ArGGGGGGGGG!!!
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 08:56 PM	Archie takes in this stranger, and goes for it. "I do." Archie hopes he isn't making a mistake.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 08:58 PM	**puts a special helm on thasis** :P
Dyne 12-10-04, 08:58 PM	ty for the info turalisj and orcy ty for defending me. also if u do that again turalisj orcy wont be the only one hitting u with a large blunt object. :D Ditto that. *a very strong dwarf gets out a fairly large warhammer* ;)
Dyne 12-10-04, 09:01 PM	I realy want to kill someone real bad. Let me kill someone, let me kill someone. ArGGGGGGGGG!!! Too bad there aren't allowed any instant kill spells or items. :nonono: Wait, I think I was the one who caused that. Oh well, I suppose that's fair. NightScreamer, why is your text so small?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-04, 09:01 PM	The Green Wonder sat in his throne watching the others entering the arena. He nodded to the two and spoke up. "What kind of battle have you decided upon? To unconciousness, or to the death?"
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 09:03 PM	He tilts his masked head to the said wickedly. He laughs a bit and you feel a cold chill through the air. He seems to be thinking. "Well oh Green and Wondrous one... I myself could go for a 'to the death' but I'll let him decide, to be fair." I think it looks pretty... but if you want it bigger so everyone can read fine... BETTER!?
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 09:06 PM	"I won't go out of my way to kill him, but the nature of my magic doesn't allow for such a gaurentee. If he would grant me the same courtesy I'd be grateful. And if you have magic to protect the crowd from certain magical influences I'd be ready to use them if I were you."
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 09:10 PM	Caronath's robes shift a bit. "Out of your way hm? Well... We'll see who's out of the way... Until death this battle shall go... For I too cannot guarntee this one's safety... Anymore"
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 09:19 PM	Archie's blood just perks up at the idea, but reality sets back in. "I'm sorry, poor choice of words. I won't try to kill you if you wish, just letting you know that I can't gaurentee your safety. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to really let loose to, but I have an ill son to think about."
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 09:21 PM	He grumbles a bit. "Fine, then to unconciousness... May we begin now" His body shifts to a sideways position.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 09:29 PM	He left? Rargh... Now what I have to wait like a whole day until he decides to return?
Cazic 12-10-04, 09:35 PM	He left? Rargh... Now what I have to wait like a whole day until he decides to return? i hope not @everyone srry about the stupid ?s ealier i couldnt rmember and i dont know were my players guide is. thanks for answerring them and giving me a small amount of insults.
bgt 12-10-04, 09:39 PM	You would lose your mind after gurgetar turned you into a hamster. Yeah I know that, the post just semmed somewhat funny, and I didn't want to pass it up. At the risk of beating a dead horse, rather than having the outright banning of insta-lose spells/items/other such stuff, why don't you make it so that they can't be used until your opponent has had X turns? Then they don't end the game too quickly, and us that point out that it's unfair to casters can't complain. Everyone wins! :ayyyy!: :dancin: :w00t:
Cazic 12-10-04, 09:43 PM	i agree with bgt. instant kill should be allowed but only after a certan amount of rounds in the duel. :D
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 09:58 PM	Caronath removes a small stick from his robes and waves a small hankerchief over it. The Stick becomes red and he sticks it in his mouth and chews on it as he waits. **Hankerchief of Presidigiation making the stick taste like blood**

But currently Finals week is coming up. So Orcy wont be changing a whole lot for a bit.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 10:06 PM	**hides his dead horse so he can beat it in privacy**
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 10:19 PM	**seriously I had an amazing entrance... I want to kill someone MageDuel or Not...hopegfully an Anything goes Duel... That's work... **
Dyne 12-10-04, 10:32 PM	**seriously I had an amazing entrance... I want to kill someone MageDuel or Not...hopegfully an Anything goes Duel... That's work... ** I'm willing to try out one of my characters in a Mage Duel, if Instant Death Spells are allowed. To the unconscious, and Instant Kill spells only knock the opponent unconscious instead of killing them.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 10:34 PM	**I really want an anything goes duel to go down...**
Dyne 12-10-04, 10:38 PM	**I really want an anything goes duel to go down...** If you're a spellcaster, we could use the Mage Duel rules, but allow for Melee combat and the like. Basically, anything goes, but we always have a free chance to counter-spell one of the other's spells, and it's to the unconscious. I don't think many characters should be getting killed off this early in the game.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 10:43 PM	**Dyne so you want a Mage Duel that allows Melee combat and instant death spells... That seems like an anything goes duel lol**
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 10:49 PM	Where's that dice roller? I'm ready.
Dyne 12-10-04, 10:59 PM	Where's that dice roller? I'm ready. Check my sig. Click on the Show button for the Spoiler block, and click on the link at the bottom for the Online Die Roller. We'll have to fight another time, NightScreamer.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 11:02 PM	**HURRAH! HAPPY DANCE TIME!** :cheer::dancin::cheer:
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 11:10 PM	Caronath throws his robes back revealing his body is covered in armor and pulling the gigantic shield out from under his robes. "Now my foe, prepare for battle!" Initiative Roll: 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=CaronathTheNightscreamer&limit=on)
bgt 12-10-04, 11:21 PM	"You know turalisj, being a hamster isn't that bad. I get free food, I can can eat said food, and I don't have to worry about the illithid realizing i'm still alive and sending an inqusition out to eradicate me and all they deem to be helping me to survive."
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 11:24 PM	Crap, How do I link?
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 11:26 PM	[*url=link*]text[*/url*] remove the stars insert the link where it says 'link' insert what you want the link to say under 'text'
Dyne 12-10-04, 11:28 PM	Crap, How do I link? When posting, click on the button above your text that says "Insert Hyperlink". Type in whatever you want to be the word displayed as the link, hit OK, then copy the address of the page that shows your rolls, paste it in the box for the URL, hit OK, and voila: link to your die rolls. I prefer not to use links. I just tell everyone what username I'm using, and let them look it up at the die roller. It saves time, and prevents mistakes from trying to multi-task.
Cazic 12-10-04, 11:29 PM	"Hmmm..." pulls out a scroll. "HAHAHAHA. so he is the one those octopus head sent me to kill. Well to late now he is under his protection now. Oh well i am glad they all ready paid me for killing bgt. :D i mission for the illithid is now over. :P
MoronPunisher 12-10-04, 11:41 PM	27 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Archie#138415) [OOC:- Let's try this] Archie decides to set up a some defenses to slow down his opponent. (Archie Casts Wall of Ice, 15 feet tall by 100 feet wide by 15 inches thick and he places it a quarter of the way between himself and Caronath.) Thank ye Orcy
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-10-04, 11:48 PM	The arena is only 100ft wide. Orcy suggest modifying the post to fit within it.
NightScreamer20 12-10-04, 11:55 PM	Caronath smirks and draws two wands from his hilt and holds them at his sides. His shield hovers in front of him.
MoronPunisher 12-11-04, 12:22 AM	(OOC: Was that your move?)
NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 12:24 AM	lmao yes!
MoronPunisher 12-11-04, 12:27 AM	24 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Archie#138432) (OOC: Then here's my next initiative)
NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 12:30 AM	you just go, u dont have to roll initiative every round
NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 12:38 AM	So jsut make your move
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 12:39 AM	Yes, here it is one initiative roll and you act on that same initiative every round.
MoronPunisher 12-11-04, 12:53 AM	(OOC: Don't I look the idiot now. K, I understand.) Archie casts Protection from Heat on himself, then fishes out The Snowglobe. "Here goes everything." he says to himself.
NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 01:32 AM	"Your time is up..." Caronath draws his wands back and begins his assault. He flings 2 blasts of energy towards him and the wall of ice. Each blast is a bolt of acidic green fluid charged with arcs of electricity. The first bolt shatters straight through the wall of ice, making room for the other to pass. 1st Bolt: 10d6 Electricity + 10d6 Acid Reflex; Energy Admixture (Acid) + Maximized; save DC 16; 120 if fail, 60 if pass 2nd Bolt: 10d6 Electricity + 10d6 Acid Reflex; Energy Admixture (Acid); save DC 16; 73 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42358) if fail, 36 if pass **So um...Ya... 193 is u failed both and 96 if you passed both... Does this mean I win?**

MoronPunisher 12-11-04, 01:53 AM	(OOC: What spell are you using? I did forget to sidestep so I guess the kill is fair, but is there a way I can keep Archie? It's a new character design and I'm still working out the kinks. I guess I buy him having all those high power magic items if he made them hemself but it really isn't fair to the rest of us. On a mechanics note: I really don't see how bolts are Reflex half, but if they are then even if I pass the saves it's 96 damage and Archie only has 80 hp.)

NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 02:11 AM	**You'd have to make a Spellcraft check to figure out my spell, thoguh I did tell you Metamagic feats were applied. And in all fairness I would still have these wands even if I didn't create them, because more than likely I wouldn't have a train, that's just superficial and something I require for my magic shop. However now that I played my Trump card *wink* everyone knwos what I'm capable of, and that's a damned shame.**
The Vorpal Tribble 12-11-04, 02:55 AM	So Dyne, would you like to have that anything goes to the death? It will be the ultimate test for Timothae to see if he is ultimately worthy. You'll have to challenge him of course, or perhaps kidnap someone or some such forcing him to accept it, but eventually he will.
He Who Shall Not Be Named 12-11-04, 10:28 AM	Does anyone want to duel me? Gladiatoral, until a surrender? Also, can Paladins and the like cast their weak buffs during a gladiatoral match?
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 11:04 AM	Amid a burst of flame, a lanky thri-kreen struts into the arena. Upon seeing the hamster cage, he sighs and slowly shakes his head. "bgt, what sort of trouble do I have to bail you out of this time? Chic'tak-pica! Whoever owns these hamsters, return them to normal! Otherwise, prepare for a fight that will make the Hells seem cold!
bgt 12-11-04, 01:35 PM	:clap: It's about time you got here, penguin. I am saved! :dancin:
Demonfey 12-11-04, 01:53 PM	Pyrokineticist, right? Well, he got into this mess because of his greed, and so he should be allowed to pay the price for it. He should have known better than to challenge a lich mindbender.
bgt 12-11-04, 02:05 PM	Greed my rodent foot! I was trying to save turalisj. It's just that Gurgetar has so many shiny toys...
Cazic 12-11-04, 02:30 PM	"bgt speaks the truth Demonfey. he did not fight for greed but for the sake of others. just because he tries to gain more power in doing this does not mean his reasons are any less just."
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 02:34 PM	Amid a burst of flame, a lanky thri-kreen struts into the arena. Upon seeing the hamster cage, he sighs and slowly shakes his head. "bgt, what sort of trouble do I have to bail you out of this time? Chic'tak-pica! Whoever owns these hamsters, return them to normal! Otherwise, prepare for a fight that will make the Hells seem cold! Gurgetar growls and smacks himself on the head a few times, hitting the floor with his staff as well. "DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVER GIVE UP! Every time I take one of you nutjobs out, another one shows up! Well forget it! You can go and crawl back under whatever rock you came out from. I. AM. SICK. OF. THIS!" Note: bgt now loves being a hamster, and gurgetar's pet. so in character he cant say anything against that.
Cazic 12-11-04, 02:44 PM	u know for someone who is missing half of his lower jaw Gurgetar can talk preety well.
Sssargoth 12-11-04, 02:50 PM	Gurgetar growls and smacks himself on the head a few times, hitting the floor with his staff as well. "DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVER GIVE UP! Every time I take one of you nutjobs out, another one shows up! Well forget it! You can go and crawl back under whatever rock you came out from. I. AM. SICK. OF. THIS!" The dragon sits near the lich. "I'm sure no furthur problems will occur between yourself and my underlings if you just release the illithid and the half-dragon. I will see to it personally.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 02:55 PM	u know for someone who is missing half of his lower jaw Gurgetar can talk preety well. Gurgetar is undead, he doesnt really need his jaw, besides, he has telepathy. Gurgetar shakes his head, turning to face the red dragon. "Sorry little dragon, I can't be doin that. They agreed to the terms, they fell in battle, they lost fairly. I can't just be goin back and takin away their decisions. They knew what would happen if they lost and fought anyway. Aint my fault."
Sssargoth 12-11-04, 03:02 PM	"I'm sure we can come to some agreement. I do wish to at least have my librarian back to normal. It is falling into slight disrepair without him."
Cazic 12-11-04, 03:03 PM	so thats y i was hearing voises in my head and here i thought i was going insane.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 03:14 PM	Gurgetar shrugs. He taps the hamster cage looking at the bgt hamster and shakes his head. "Sorry pal. There really isnt a whole lot I can do for ya. A deal is a deal. Just gonna have to get a new librarian, because if I let this guy out, hes probably just gonna come right back after me like a fool."
De Batavier 12-11-04, 03:19 PM	Karl Abend comes into the arena. Oops. I thought there would be fighting here. Seems i just stepped into the debating society. Looks around This is the arena. So why do i not hear the sounds of battle, but people bartering for...hamsters. ;)
Sssargoth 12-11-04, 03:20 PM	"He will not. If he does, it will be for sparring only. To be honest, I wouldn't mind a friendly sparring match with a lich. I'm sure there is mch to learn from the experience. It will be at your discression of corse."
The Vorpal Tribble 12-11-04, 03:37 PM	Timothae fades into view behind the dragon, followed by the multi-throated roar of Neckie the Thelihydra as it steps into sight. Timothae nods to Gurgetar and responds, "We would prefer to deal for him back, and we are being quite courteous. Is there nothing you wish?"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 03:48 PM	Gurgetar walked around the dragon, glancing at timothae as he appears. He scratches his head and looks at Sssargoth. "Ya know, it almost looked like he came right outta yer... erm... nevermind. Alright then, we're talkin just a nice plain friendly match? None of that 'if I win you get rid of all the hamsters, one of which will likely slaughter thousands of people, but I don't care anwyay' matches right? If thats the case, I suppose I can meet ya back here in a little while. Then we can get to that fightin thing and all." "Oh, an yer gonna have to be more specific than 'whadda ya want?' Ya see, I'm dead, I don't really NEED anything. But make me an offer, maybe I'll agree, maybe I wont."
Dyne 12-11-04, 03:53 PM	"Your time is up..." Caronath draws his wands back and begins his assault. He flings 2 blasts of energy towards him and the wall of ice. Each blast is a bolt of acidic green fluid charged with arcs of electricity. The first bolt shatters straight through the wall of ice, making room for the other to pass. 1st Bolt: 10d6 Electricity + 10d6 Acid Reflex; Energy Admixture (Acid) + Maximized; save DC 16; 120 if fail, 60 if pass 2nd Bolt: 10d6 Electricity + 10d6 Acid Reflex; Energy Admixture (Acid); save DC 16; 73 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42358) if fail, 36 if pass **So um...Ya... 193 is u failed both and 96 if you passed both... Does this mean I win?** Wait, if Archie has 80 HP, then he's still alive. You said the 1st bolt blasted a hole through the wall, and the second hit Archie. Archie would only be taking 73 damage on a failed save and 36 on a successful save, if I'm not mistaken.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 03:56 PM	Wait, if Archie has 80 HP, then he's still alive. You said the 1st bolt blasted a hole through the wall, and the second hit Archie. Archie would only be taking 73 damage on a failed save and 36 on a successful save, if I'm not mistaken. lightning bolts keep going if they destroy what barriers they hit.
bgt 12-11-04, 04:04 PM	Out of charachter. In charachter.
Dyne 12-11-04, 04:14 PM	lightning bolts keep going if they destroy what barriers they hit. I never saw the word Lightning Bolt, but Energy Admixture (Acid), whatever the heck that is. Even so, wouldn't the acid stop at the wall? Where the heck did you get that spell, NightScreamer?
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 04:17 PM	"You'ld better listen to them, Gurgetar." The thri-kreen leaps into the arena, then up to the lich. "The deals they're offering are much more leniant than mine."
Sssargoth 12-11-04, 04:21 PM	"Ya know, it almost looked like he came right outta yer... erm... nevermind. Alright then, we're talkin just a nice plain friendly match? None of that 'if I win you get rid of all the hamsters, one of which will likely slaughter thousands of people, but I don't care anwyay' matches right? If thats the case, I suppose I can meet ya back here in a little while. Then we can get to that fightin thing and all." "I assume you mean the hydra. It is more likely pulled directly from the worst nightmares of a mortal. About the match, I only wish for the ilithid and the half-dragon. there is no need to worry." "Oh, an yer gonna have to be more specific than 'whadda ya want?' Ya see, I'm dead, I don't really NEED anything. But make me an offer, maybe I'll agree, maybe I wont." "How does aquiring the funds to gain any one item of your choosing sound? I may be able to supply that as an exchange. If that foes not please you, I'm sure we can come to a better agreement."
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 04:28 PM	"Or I could roast the flesh from your half-dust bones."
bgt 12-11-04, 04:35 PM	Go with the penguin, Orcy! Master, listen to the dragon! Don't get yourself killed!
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 04:43 PM	"First, lets deal with bug boy. Listen insect, I don't care how powerful ya think ya are. You need to shut up while the grown ups are talking." Gurgetar turns his attention back toward Sssargoth. "Any one item huh? That could get pretty expensive ya know. I've never heard of a dragon giving out money before either. But hey... I suppose I may be able to make a deal. If you people shut up the bug before I have to step on it."
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 04:44 PM	I never saw the word Lightning Bolt, but Energy Admixture (Acid), whatever the heck that is. Even so, wouldn't the acid stop at the wall? Where the heck did you get that spell, NightScreamer? Energy admixture is a metamagic feat that allows you to add a second kind of energy damage to the spell. You need energy substitution to get it though. It acts just like the spell so it would pass through as well.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 04:46 PM	Greed my rodent foot! I was trying to save turalisj. It's just that Gurgetar has so many shiny toys... You pushed for all his wealth.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 04:50 PM	"You'ld better listen to them, Gurgetar." The thri-kreen leaps into the arena, then up to the lich. "The deals they're offering are much more leniant than mine." If you want to fight, wait for his current match to finish.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 04:51 PM	The mantis warrior apears to be seething withanger at Gurgetar's last statement. In fact, the rock under his feet is starting to melt. "Listen, lich, I know power. Holding off an illithid inquisition long enough for my freinds to get bgt to safety requiers power. An half-rotted cave monkey like yourself knows nothing of power."
Demonfey 12-11-04, 04:54 PM	The mantis warrior apears to be seething withanger at Gurgetar's last statement. In fact, the rock under his feet is starting to melt. "Listen, lich, I know power. Holding off an illithid inquisition long enough for my freinds to get bgt to safety requiers power. An half-rotted cave monkey like yourself knows nothing of power." That's it. {Crowley gestures, and the people on the ground are lifted up into the air and deposited in seats.} Can't you see that there is a fight that is trying to commence? {He points to the figures on the side}
De Batavier 12-11-04, 04:56 PM	If you want to fight, wait for his current match to finish. Orcy this rule keeps the arena locked down quite a lot. Living in different time-zones doesn't help in keeping battles going fast enough. Maybe it should be changed that a charater can only be in one fight at a time. I don't think it would be that hard to keep track of several different fights here. Especialy if the fighters state at the beginning of the post which fight it is.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 04:57 PM	Actually, I was wrong. He's not currently in a match.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 04:59 PM	"Of course I don't. Thats why your friend is in a cage along with a few others that challenged me. Far stronger than yourself I might add. A bug isnt going to scare me. Nor are your insults going to get me mad enough to scream and yell about fightin ya. You see, you are but a bug. A little creature that hops around and has an iiiiiiity bitty mind. So shut up and let us talk."
bgt 12-11-04, 04:59 PM	You pushed for all his wealth. I was going to auction off his stuff, then donate the money to the foundation. Gurgetar has made a bit of a name for himself, and some of his stuff is custom. I would expect it to go for a bit more than it's market price would suggest.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 05:10 PM	"Tak-thok! Hic-kip! Ch'at!" The thri-kreen is glowing with heat at this time. "I don't care if this happens in the arena or not. If do not release the hamster from your spell, you will be destroyed. Then I will find your phylactory, and wait for you to reform, just so I can destroy you again. And again. And again. Until you truly appreceate what heat is, I will continue to destroy you. Release my freind!"
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:13 PM	"Tak-thok! Hic-kip! Ch'at!" The thri-kreen is glowing with heat at this time. "I don't care if this happens in the arena or not.

Until you truly appreceate what heat is, I will continue to destroy you. Release my freind!" You have no idea what the true power of flame is, fire bug.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 05:14 PM	"Say that again, fleshsack"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 05:15 PM	"Tak-thok! Hic-kip! Ch'at!" The thri-kreen is glowing with heat at this time. "I don't care if this happens in the arena or not.

But here, you cant do a thing unless you wanna mess with the big green guy up there. Trust me, he aint one you wanna anger. But here, you have to challenge me to a fight if thats yer goal. Otherwise, you'll just be makin a fool of yerself. Bug."
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:15 PM	"Say that again, fleshsack" You do not understand the true power of flame, pyro bug.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:16 PM	"I. WILL. NOT. Now, you can continue to threaten all you like. But here, you cant do a thing unless you wanna mess with the big green guy up there. Trust me, he aint one you wanna anger. But here, you have to challenge me to a fight if thats yer goal. Otherwise, you'll just be makin a fool of yerself. Bug." And I get to help a bit... :D
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 05:23 PM	"That's it! I no longer care if I fight Gurgetar or Demonfey! Either of you, in the arena now! I challenge you, And I don't care which!
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:26 PM	"That's it! I no longer care if I fight Gurgetar or Demonfey! Either of you, in the arena now! I challenge you, And I don't care which! I am the archmage of fire, and a full elemental savant. Check out my character (Page one), and decide if you want to reconsider that. [I]Huh. Personally, I was expecting you to attack me. Sssargoth, are you sure this guy's one of your's?
NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 05:27 PM	Caronath snickers still standing in the arena for reasons unknown. He wonders still about the man who came from the red-lizard's rear-end but that doesn't matter to him much anymore. Slowly he glides of the arena floor so that others may get a chance to battle.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 05:29 PM	"That's it! I no longer care if I fight Gurgetar or Demonfey! Either of you, in the arena now! I challenge you, And I don't care which! "Rant and rave all you want, I already told ya I aint fightin ya. Maybe an ant is more along the lines of somethin you can handle. Insects should stick to fighting things that wont blow them away real easy."
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:30 PM	"Rant and rave all you want, I already told ya I aint fightin ya. Maybe an ant is more along the lines of somethin you can handle. Insects should stick to fighting things that wont blow them away real easy." If he pushes it, Orcy, should I throw Crowley against him? He is challenging him. It's just that I haven't changed him except for a few grafts that were added IG...
NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 05:31 PM	"Well if the Arena rules weren't as such, I'd fight the insect. But alas I cannot. Hey... Can I slay the dragon?" He goes into revlry about the devices he could create with pure dragon parts...A nice jacket, a new pair of boots... Maybe even a blanket...
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:32 PM	"Well if the Arena rules weren't as such, I'd fight the insect. But alas I cannot. Hey... Can I slay the dragon?" Please leave the Dragon alone. He's a friend of mine. Besides, what's to say you can't?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 05:32 PM	If he pushes it, Orcy, should I throw Crowley against him? He is challenging him. It's just that I haven't changed him except for a few grafts that were added IG... If he agrees to fight the character after knowing full well that he is Epic. Go ahead. But you cant use any epic spells.
NightScreamer20 12-11-04, 05:34 PM	**Arena rules say a character cannot fight in two consecutive battles**
De Batavier 12-11-04, 05:35 PM	"Rant and rave all you want, I already told ya I aint fightin ya. Maybe an ant is more along the lines of somethin you can handle. Insects should stick to fighting things that wont blow them away real easy." Karl Abend walks to Gurgetar.I've already put a bet for you to win this fight. Maybe you should just fight him to get it over with. I need the cash, bad. He doesn't show much willpower, does he.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:35 PM	If he agrees to fight the character after knowing full well that he is Epic. Go ahead. But you cant use any epic spells. I only have one, but that isn't good for combat. It's a ritual to give others shadowstarfire.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 05:35 PM	Well this should be interesting...Knockout mage duel, demonfey. Initiative: 4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42674)
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:45 PM	Well this should be interesting...Knockout mage duel, demonfey. Initiative: 4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42674) Initiative: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42676) So be it. Did you send a list of powers to Orcy?
Demonfey 12-11-04, 05:47 PM	I'll be back in a bit.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 05:52 PM	Orcy blinks and shrugs. He shook his head and nodded to the fighters. This was going to be... quick. Gurgetar walked out of the arena cackling. It was time to go put a bet down at the betting booth.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 05:53 PM	All three of my powers are given on my charachter's post, a link to which is in my sig.
Cazic 12-11-04, 06:23 PM	Cazic walks out of the arena "I must place a bet on this."
Cazic 12-11-04, 07:09 PM	i would suggest anyone who doesn't like seeing fire should leave the arena now walks up closer to the arena floor so as to get a better view.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 08:56 PM	"I'm getting impatiant, demonfey. I may just have to start on the goblin." Demonfey, due to the nature of this battle, things may get melted. Therefore, can you agree to that anything that breaks and wasn't designed to to so is replaced at the end of the fight?
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:08 PM	Yes. Sorry about that, but I just had to take care of a few things. Before we begin, we must set up the mage duel arena, so that killing the opponent is impossible. Just a second...There. {An intangible field rises around the two of you, to the perimeter of the arena, just before it hits the audience.} Alright. Now, no matter what we do, we cannot kill each other. {With that, he begins to cast. A ball of green energy appears in his hands, and he throws it. It detonates, and the entire area is filled with acid.} What just happened: delayed fireball set to go off immediately, turned to acid damage by mastery of elements archmage power, and set to fill the entire arena in the field except for the 5 foot area around himself. Damage: 55 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42692) Reflex for you would be 30, I believe (10+7+13)
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 09:16 PM	17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42693) I'll move 50 feet towards you, then activate my Boots of Temporeal Acceleration. Round 1: Run to demonfey Round 2: Put my Magebane Manacles on Demonfey, then make a Fire Lash.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:21 PM	17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42693) I'll move 50 feet towards you, then activate my Boots of Temporeal Acceleration. Round 1: Run to demonfey Round 2: Put my Magebane Manacles on Demonfey, then make a Fire Lash. Can you tell me what book the manacles are in?
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 09:22 PM	Arms and Equipment Guide. Basicly, you're in your own little antimagic field.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:32 PM	What do they do?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 09:34 PM	Orcy is not so sure that you can even put manacles on someone when under the effects of that power. You cannot effect an attended object. So it would make sense that you cannot move his hands so you can force the manacles on him either.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:39 PM	Does anyone know what they do? If so, please post it.
Cazic 12-11-04, 09:40 PM	im think they make so that u cant cast magic, but i dont know for certin.
Xen155 12-11-04, 09:41 PM	sturdy masterwork manacles that have an antimagic feild that extends around anyone wearing them
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:41 PM	im think they make so that u cant cast magic, but i dont know for certin. If that's it, then he's in trouble. I have more tricks up my sleeve than my spells...
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 09:41 PM	They make an antimagic field around the person wearing them. Xen looked them up for Orcy.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:42 PM	sturdy masterwork manacles that have an antimagic feild that extends around anyone wearing them Oh. I assume that you are done at the moment, liquid nitro penguin?
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 09:44 PM	You can't use any spells, spell-like abilities, supernatural abilities, or magic items. Yes, i'm done.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:47 PM	Okay. {With that, Crowley flies out of Clicky's range at a fast pace} He flies eighty feet up and sideways, about twenty feet to the side and forty up, and Clicky has an attack of opportunity. Your turn
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 09:48 PM	How is he flying?
Cazic 12-11-04, 09:49 PM	wings
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 09:49 PM	He has wings.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:50 PM	He is part demon. He has bat wings on his back, and a fly speed of 40 (average) from his natural ability to fly and a feat that improves his ability to fly.
Cazic 12-11-04, 09:55 PM	he is just chalk full of surprises
Demonfey 12-11-04, 09:57 PM	And I forget to post my flight speed!
Dyne 12-11-04, 09:57 PM	I don't understand how Clicky could just walk up and slap manacles on Crowley. But, Crowley has so many tricks up his sleeve that he'll put up a good fight anyway.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 09:58 PM	Thats why Orcy mentioned it, but Demonfey doesnt seem to mind.
Cazic 12-11-04, 09:59 PM	if it does become a broblem couldnt he rip them off?
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:00 PM	Thats why Orcy mentioned it, but Demonfey doesnt seem to mind. I am waiting for your official word on it, Orcy. Until then, I am doing what I would anyway.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 10:00 PM	I'll make the attack of oppurtunity with the flame lash, so it's a touch attack. My roll is 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42696)+1, so it would be 20. The damage is 7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42697). For my turn, I'll attempt to gain psionic focus. 40 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42698)
Dyne 12-11-04, 10:00 PM	if it does become a broblem couldnt he rip them off? Yes, and probably quite easily, unless Crowley isn't as strong as I thought.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 10:02 PM	I don't understand how Clicky could just walk up and slap manacles on Crowley. I was under a Temporeal Acceleration. I was moving too fast for Crowley to resist.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 10:02 PM	Personally, Orcy doesnt think he could do it. Because you cant affect attended objects and stuff like that. Its like a mini timestop kinda thing. Orcy is pretty sure you cant just slap manacles on someone.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:03 PM	So I'm good?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 10:05 PM	Putting the manacles on you would be a touch attack, since you cant attack someone in temporal acceleration, he couldnt do it.
Dyne 12-11-04, 10:06 PM	Personally, Orcy doesnt think he could do it. Because you cant affect attended objects and stuff like that. Its like a mini timestop kinda thing. Orcy is pretty sure you cant just slap manacles on someone. If it's like Time Stop, then: While the time stop is in effect, other creatures are invulnerable to your attacks and spells; you cannot target such creatures with any attack or spell. You cannot move or harm items held, carried, or worn by a creature stuck in normal time, but you can affect any item that is not in another creature’s possession. I'm pretty sure the intention was that you can't do anything that would affect another creature, including slapping manacles on him. Putting manacles on someone could be considered an attack, also.
Sssargoth 12-11-04, 10:08 PM	Putting manacles on someone could be considered an attack, also. putting manicals on an unrestrained target is a touch attack, therefore, Crowley shouldnt have them on.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 10:11 PM	Hey Crowley, wanna wear some bracelets? They're shiny!
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:11 PM	Putting the manacles on you would be a touch attack, since you cant attack someone in temporal acceleration, he couldnt do it. Yes. {After taking some minor damage, Crowley shoots off another spell. This time, the orb is made of electricity. The detonation is immediately as it lands-right under Clicky's feet.} Another delayed fireball, set off immediately. Damage 48 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42701) Reflex 30 again. If you fail, then you are down 103 hp, and at 10 hp.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:12 PM	Hey Crowley, wanna wear some bracelets? They're shiny! No.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 10:23 PM	18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42702) I'll manifest burst, then run up next to Crowley.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 10:23 PM	18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42702) I'll manifest burst, then run up next to Crowley. Hes flying...
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:24 PM	I'll manifest burst, then run up next to Crowley. I'm in the air, man. Besides, do you want to chance he has some nasty surprise in store for you?
Cazic 12-11-04, 10:25 PM	18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42702) I'll manifest burst, then run up next to Crowley. then as u are under him and just happens to need to go to the little half Demons room.....
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:27 PM	then as u are under him and just happens to need to go to the little half Demons room..... That's foul.
Cazic 12-11-04, 10:27 PM	that might just be the idea. :D and it smells bad.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 10:30 PM	Sorry, forgot to mention i'm expending psionic focus to walk on air. I'm next to him.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:30 PM	Sorry, forgot to mention i'm expending psionic focus to walk on air. I'm next to him. Ah. You know I can fall out of the air, right?
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:37 PM	Your turn, Liquid Nitro Penguin. Can we call you LNP?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 10:40 PM	Your turn, Liquid Nitro Penguin. Can we call you LNP? He ran up next to you... Orcy believes its your turn unless your passing.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:41 PM	What about the burst damage?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-11-04, 10:43 PM	Orcy believes burst is a speed increasing power... *checks* Yep.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:45 PM	[I]Crowley then flies 5 feet away. He begins to cast, and you are hit by yet another altered delayed fireball. Crowley is not hit by it at all.} Delayed fireball, turned to acid, shaped to be around you, and starts from the ground to the height you are at. Damage: 66 (http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py) I believe that, due to the nature of this fight, you are in the negatives no matter what. You are also still alive, since the mage duel field turns all damage to nonlethal damage.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 10:48 PM	Orcy believes burst is a speed increasing power... *checks* Yep. Oh.
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 10:56 PM	i give. My brother got me into this fight,while i didn't want to. :raincloud :banghead:
Demonfey 12-11-04, 11:02 PM	i give. My brother got me into this fight,while i didn't want to. :raincloud :banghead: It's okay. To tell the truth, if you had won, many people would be highly surprised, probably including your brother. {Showing good sport, Crowley carries the thri-kreen pyrokineticist down to the ground as the field fades. He lays Clicky on the ground, and then walks away. At the entrance, he stops, and says to Orcy.} He'll come around in a few hours. He was a good fight. {Then, he walks out the arena gate.}
Dyne 12-11-04, 11:09 PM	"I knew the bug would get squashed in the end. Now, to go collect my profits from the betting booth...." Aseir begins to walk away, but he is confronted by Dyne, his archnemesis. "You bastard, it was YOU who is responsible for the calamity at the Sovereign Throne! I won't let you get away with trying to ruin my reputation. You will pay, I promise that." Aseir laughs at Dyne's anger. "Fool. You are nothing to me. Now, out of my way." Aseir uses his magic to force Dyne out of his path, and he continues on his way.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-11-04, 11:10 PM	Was it Droga or Dyne who had the Skygge character? I'd still like to be challenged ;)
liquid nitro penguin 12-11-04, 11:26 PM	it's like the only insult to me "squash" :ayyyy!:
Dyne 12-11-04, 11:27 PM	Was it Droga or Dyne who had the Skygge character? I'd still like to be challenged ;) It is Droga. But, Thasis the Evil is a Skygge as well, as far as I know.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 11:33 PM	it's like the only insult to me "squash" :ayyyy!: Care to make a character for the GoUE?
Dyne 12-11-04, 11:34 PM	Care to make a character for the GoUE? I thought we were running low on villains. Actually, we're running low on heroes. The Guild of Pure Good hasn't been active for quite some time. The only "good" foundation seems to be the Half-Elven Foundation.
Demonfey 12-11-04, 11:35 PM	Yeah, but still...
The Vorpal Tribble 12-11-04, 11:41 PM	Ah, Droga then. No one has beat him/her and its 16th level so I hear, so thought I might try it. Btw, the Psionics Foundation seems mainly Good as well.
Dyne 12-11-04, 11:45 PM	Ah, Droga then. No one has beat him/her and its 16th level so I hear, so thought I might try it. Btw, the Psionics Foundation seems mainly Good as well. They always seemed just mainly destructive to me. ;)
Demonfey 12-11-04, 11:46 PM	And what's wrong with destructive?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-11-04, 11:46 PM	Destructive? What'd we do? :confused:
Dyne 12-11-04, 11:48 PM	Well, Sssargoth has a habit of summoning nasty things in the Blue Lizard Inn. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, it can be very entertaining.
NightScreamer20 12-12-04, 12:56 AM	Anyone wanna Mage Duel Caronath? Maybe Anything Goes if you feel like it? I'll do 'to the death' as well.
liquid nitro penguin 12-12-04, 08:20 AM	:help: any ideas on what guild/foundation to join? :bored:
De Batavier 12-12-04, 08:24 AM	Think you should check out the Psionic foundation. Oh..and you don't have to limit yourself to one foundation. so shop around.
Demonfey 12-12-04, 12:23 PM	Yeah. The psions seem to be your best fit. At least, until I start the Pyromaniacs Foundation... ;) :mage:
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 12:51 PM	Hey NightScreamer, if you come to the psionic foundation and challenge me personally I'll accept it.
NightScreamer20 12-12-04, 04:46 PM	My IG character is busy ATM... So I dunno if that's an option. But either way...
Dyne 12-12-04, 04:53 PM	Yeah. The psions seem to be your best fit. At least, until I start the Pyromaniacs Foundation... ;) :mage: My Tiefling Warlock would join that foundation. :mage:
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 04:57 PM	My IG character is busy ATM... So I dunno if that's an option. But either way... Well if he's busy why'd you ask to fight? ;) Anyways, I prefer people to come over and ask. Good RP and such since Timothae would never challenge you by himself. Whenever you wish to start.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 05:37 PM	Ok, I'm needing some funds for my Beastmaster's Preserve, so if anyone wants to fight my Druid/Barbarian come along. It'll be a mage/physical battle to unconsciousness. I'll bet 20,000 on myself.
Droga 12-12-04, 06:54 PM	Droga sat atop a pillar in the arena. Watching the man closely, he laughed at the open battle challenge. Anybody could accept, he considered teaching the man a lesson. But that might not even be worth his time.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 07:09 PM	C'mon Droga, challenge Timothae. Lets see ya try it.
turalisj 12-12-04, 07:11 PM	Ok, I'm needing some funds for my Beastmaster's Preserve, so if anyone wants to fight my Druid/Barbarian come along. It'll be a mage/physical battle to unconsciousness. I'll bet 20,000 on myself. *starts laughing* your druidic barb will have a headache by the time i'm done with him, and droga doesn't do knockouts, he only does kills. or atleast thats what he says.
Droga 12-12-04, 07:19 PM	Indeed. And do you really want to fight Droga with Timothae? You have 39 HP. I can beat that in one round.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 07:19 PM	Well, that remains to be seen.
turalisj 12-12-04, 07:26 PM	let me fight him first. if i can even land a blow on him then he won't be good enough to take you on.
Droga 12-12-04, 07:34 PM	If you insist on dying I'm all up for it. But you should know that I've apparently been considered a level 20 character. Which is complete bull, but Tenzhi apparently knows better. So I have to follow that crap.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 07:50 PM	Ah, so you won't mind if I bring along my familiar? (Not a word turalis...)
Droga 12-12-04, 07:53 PM	Whats your familiar?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 07:54 PM	Just a Thelihydra.
Droga 12-12-04, 07:57 PM	Never heard of it, got stats?

Cazic 12-12-04, 08:10 PM	<<<<<Nevermind>>>>>>>>
Droga 12-12-04, 08:17 PM	HAHAHAHAHA no.
turalisj 12-12-04, 08:19 PM	all my gold is on droga.
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:21 PM	all my gold is on droga. how sure are u he will win?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 08:21 PM	:rant: I didn't know I had to ask my combatants first when I made the thing. I thought if it use a power, bring it along, it'd be useable... since I 'did' spend XP on the thing.
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:26 PM	how sure are u he will win? well????
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 08:28 PM	Who are you annoyingly using quadruple question marks on, Cazic?
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:30 PM	opps fell back into that old habit. i was wondering what the odds were
Demonfey 12-12-04, 08:33 PM	opps fell back into that old habit. i was wondering what the odds were How sure were you that I would win?
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:35 PM	after someone told me about your character. 99.99999999%
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:35 PM	is that how likely it is that Droga will win?
Demonfey 12-12-04, 08:35 PM	after someone told me about your character. 99.99999999% You have my answer there, then.
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:36 PM	time to put some gold on Droga
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:37 PM	so when are u two going to fight?
Droga 12-12-04, 08:40 PM	We gonna fight or not?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 08:47 PM	Come and challenge me in the Psionics Foundation and I will. Lets RP this out.
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:53 PM	so wait are u fighting in the arena or in the guild?
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 08:57 PM	The Arena...
Cazic 12-12-04, 08:58 PM	ok good just tell me when u start so i can make a post the the betting booth declaring a fight.
Cazic 12-12-04, 09:45 PM	i grow very bored of this waiting. When shall you two fight? i thust to see blood spilt this day.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 09:54 PM	Whenever Droga gets back.
Cazic 12-12-04, 10:35 PM	Someone conjure the fowl beast. I have bets to make!
Dyne 12-12-04, 11:09 PM	I'd challenge Timothae. He could bring his animal companion too. It would have to be a Mage Duel/Melee, meaning Mage Duel rules (free chance to counterspell), but, other than that, anything goes. This would be with Dyne, by-the-way. Can't fight today, though. Maybe tomorrow.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:12 PM	well thats good but vorpal left.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 11:28 PM	Naw, I'll be around for hours. You wanna have a go, Cazic?
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:32 PM	not yet. i would like to have a match with u in the future, but right now i am fine tuning my character and trying to relearn the DnD rules. it has been far to long since i have played.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:32 PM	Dyne said he would fight u.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:34 PM	i still need to finish getting all my itmes, spells and learning the rules of combat.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:35 PM	have u seen my new sig? it is very long and confusing.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 11:37 PM	omg... HE'S MULTIPLYING!
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:38 PM	We are Cazic.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:38 PM	Rissitance is futile.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:40 PM	You will be assimmilated.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:40 PM	i thought we were gorge.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:41 PM	no we are Cazic.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-12-04, 11:41 PM	It'd be in your best interest to stop that I would think... :nonono:
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:42 PM	Wait i thought we were gorge to.
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:43 PM	No We Are Cazic! Now Shut Up We're Scaring People!
Dyne 12-12-04, 11:43 PM	*Dyne begins poking at the Gorge (or Cazic or whatever) with his staff*
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:44 PM	<<<<<<<<<<insanity removed>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:44 PM	<<<<<<<<insanity removed>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:45 PM	<<<<<<<Insanity removed>>>>>>>>>>>
Cazic 12-12-04, 11:48 PM	Ok I Am Done. This Is Getting Just To Wierd. [edit] so has everyone seen my new sig? i am bored so i am tring to make conversion.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-12-04, 11:57 PM	Would you mind NOT spamming Orcy's arena.
Dyne 12-12-04, 11:57 PM	Ok I Am Done. This Is Getting Just To Wierd. [edit] so has everyone seen my new sig? i am bored so i am tring to make conversion. Yes. I find it very "mind-boggling."
Cazic 12-13-04, 12:08 AM	@Orky srry orky at first it wasn't on purpuse, but after the "omg...HES MULTIPLING!" i needed to post seperatly to create the illusion of multipul persons. @Dyne thanks for the complement.
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 12:17 AM	...I'll fight Tim and his pet....
The Vorpal Tribble 12-13-04, 12:22 AM	Bring the challenge to the Psionics Foundation for me to answer and we can do it. Death/Unconsciousness?
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 12:48 AM	**Death... Anything goes... BTW since you're allowed to bring in a special something you've made with your XP, I expect I'm entitled to the same?**
The Vorpal Tribble 12-13-04, 12:56 AM	Timothae shimmers and twists and appears at the entrance to the Arena and walks within, "You wished to speak with me?" he asks, somewhat confused. --- Oh, I wasn't goign to bring Neckie this time around.
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 12:58 AM	Caronath shakes his head. "Talk is a waste of my time... There has been word that you are powerful, I wish to test your strength, then again I just might destroy you... Either way it'll be amusing for me." **Shame**
The Vorpal Tribble 12-13-04, 01:00 AM	Timothae's lips harden into a straight line but he folds his hands before him. "You would destroy me for this reason alone? For that you have heard I can challenge you?" he asks calmly, though in a no-nonsense tone.
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 01:02 AM	"...Then we begin..." Init: 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42814)
The Vorpal Tribble 12-13-04, 01:07 AM	Timothae is caught off guard as the Blooded suddenly moves into action, though his subconscious works in overtime as abruptly his body goes vaguely out of focus. -- Initiative (man, this is bad...): 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42813) Bringing out my Cloak of Dreams which I can do as a swift action.
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 01:13 AM	Caronath pulls out a wand and flicks it towards the psion. There is an eruption of caustic liquid from around him. Damage: 40 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42816) acid; Ref save 16 for half...
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 01:32 AM	**Are you still alive at your computer? your Dex mod + Base Reflex Save + d20 roll + any other modifiers from items or spells...**
The Vorpal Tribble 12-13-04, 01:35 AM	Timothae rolls to the side with a blur of color and comes to his feet, though the edge of the acid catches him. Most of it bends and shimmers and disapears however as it hit the phantasmagorical aura about Timothae. He grits his teeth and shakes his right arm however as a few droplets find his skin. His fists clench in a brief show of anger and one after the other, four screaming, mirage-like shapes dives out from his chest. They appear as timothae does but as if he were a horrible nightmare. They see the Blooded and let out a collective scream of pure hatred and blood-lust and hurl themselves towards It. -- Reflex save: 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42817) though I'm using Impose Will to increase my saving throw by 2 to make the save. My cloak of dreams gives me 17 extra HP to use up as well, and so I only took 3 HP of damage. Am now summoning four Dire Dreamselves.... give me a few minutes to roll them up.
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 01:42 AM	**Man how i wish i wasn't so nice as to finish you off in the first round, this'll take forever**
The Vorpal Tribble 12-13-04, 01:56 AM	The dreamselves leap out at NightScreamer, their vicious claws curving out to grab him. Timothae runs for the side of the Arena and far away from the Bloodling-thingy. -=-=-=-=-=-=- Dire Dreamself HP (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42819): DD1 - 47 DD2 - 42 DD3 - 33 DD4 - 42 -- They are manifesting Psionic Lion's Charge as a Swift Action: Charge Rolls: (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42820) DD1 - 23 DD2 - 22 DD3 - 22 DD4 - 12 -- Touch Attack results: DD1 - 19 DD2 - 13 DD3 - 9 DD4 - 11
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 02:08 AM	Though these screaming renditions charge at him bearing trying to claw itno him, Caronath stands steady. As the first one claws forth he bends backwards slipping under it, then twisting his body sideways to dodge the second, quickly enough he jumps up and avoids the third and the last claw he moves his head to the side with unerring grace. He remains unarmed and seems to ignore these beasts by taking a step backwards and drawing his other wand. "PITIFUL! Just die!" With that caronath lets loose with a blast of irridescent green liquid charged with arcs of electricity running through it, then with another eruption upon where Timothae stands, an eruption of flame and acid. The bolt of acid and electricity is directed so it goes through 2 of the screaming morons in front of him, while still headed straight for Tim himself. Normal/Touch AC: 40/21 Bolt of Acidic Lightning: 120 dmg; Ref 16 half; Maximized; Energy Admixture (Acid) Explosion of Acidic Fire: 120 dmg; Ref 16 half; Maximized; Energy Admixture (Acid); Quicken Spell
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 02:15 AM	**I'm pointing out the obvious here... But if you save for both you still take 120 damage...**
The Vorpal Tribble 12-13-04, 02:28 AM	Timothae is nearly to safety when the wave of energy hits him in the back. He pitches forward as his entire being disolves away, but for a brief moment, to anyone watching, the air shimmers and warps directly above him and his body is no more.
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 02:39 AM	Caronath sheaths his wands and waves his arms once in the air. The Never-Fail crashes onto the arena floor with a loud 'BANG!' then when the smoke clears he is surrounded by goblins with mops. "Minions, cleanse this arena of that fools viscous bodily remains. I must prepare some tests... These psionics intrigue me. With that the Goblins mop up the liquid where Tim was standing and strain it into individual vials. Then placing the vials into a secure box they rush it back into the Neverfail. Caronath himself sighs deeply and with a swift swish of his robes marches back towards Orcy. "My winnings if you please... Oh Green and Wonderous one...."
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-13-04, 02:43 AM	Orcy nods, snapping his fingers and a bag of gold appearing in his hand. Another bag at the ground near his feet. He tosses the first to Caronath. Then points to the other and it disappears.
NightScreamer20 12-13-04, 02:54 AM	Caronath bows deeply. "This money will do me well... Please my Orcship, make sure my next opponent is more worthy of dying in front of you." With that Caronath bows again and with a swift flip of his cloak leaps into the Never-Fail, which seals itself and crawls like a devilish centipede back into the earth.
Sssargoth 12-13-04, 03:22 AM	Sssargoth says to Gurgitar, "Well, that was rather interesting. Where were we... ah, yes. We were negotiating for the illithid, I beleve, and a friendly battle. Unfortunately, the insect was unrecognizable to me, therefore I would have been powerless to prevent that incident.
grimclaw 12-13-04, 05:24 AM	"Sad really," Grimclaw says as he writes on a parchment then turns and stepps thru his portal. :whatsthis
liquid nitro penguin 12-13-04, 08:17 AM	"have you ever saved someone just to see them in troble again?" clicky says, "stupid mind flayers" :nonono:
thasis 12-13-04, 10:03 AM	I wanna kill someone to. Anyone want to fight me? I don't realy care. I just one to kill someone. Anyone atall. Someone?
De Batavier 12-13-04, 10:07 AM	Karl Abend steps forward If knowing you could have killed is enough. I will want to do a knock out mage duel with you init = 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=42852) Edit: Still there thasis? Seems your not there. Karl returns to the Warlock Circle :cool:
Dyne 12-13-04, 09:54 PM	I wanna kill someone to. Anyone want to fight me? I don't realy care. I just one to kill someone. Anyone atall. Someone? "I am eager to test out my abilities. I will be making preparations, but you can count on a battle to-the-death." This is Bren, my Paladin/Purple Dragon Knight.
Cazic 12-13-04, 10:24 PM	so there is for certain going to be a Dyne vs thasis fight to the death going on soon?
bgt 12-14-04, 05:05 PM	"have you ever saved someone just to see them in troble again?" clicky says, "stupid mind flayers" :nonono: I resent and represent that.
ChaosEvoker 12-14-04, 05:47 PM	Does anyone want to mageduel?
Dyne 12-14-04, 06:32 PM	Does anyone want to mageduel? I'm here and ready to duel. Wait, where'd you go?
De Batavier 12-15-04, 10:09 AM	Karl Abend looks around if there are potential dueling partners present
bgt 12-15-04, 10:53 AM	I would love to duel somebody... Just talk Gurgetar into releasing me from hamsterdom temporariliy. :rolleyes:
bgt 12-15-04, 04:59 PM	Next time anyone wants to duel to the death, do a knockout duel and ship the loser to the psionics foundation. We will see too it they are killed, for we have creatures that could use a feeding... creatures other than the Tribble's Neckie... :evillaugh
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-15-04, 05:25 PM	Next time anyone wants to duel to the death, do a knockout duel and ship the loser to the psionics foundation. We will see too it they are killed, for we have creatures that could use a feeding... creatures other than the Tribble's Neckie... :evillaugh Yes, they have the hamsterthid of doom.
bgt 12-15-04, 05:38 PM	Why must you be rubbing salt into my wounds?
Cazic 12-15-04, 06:51 PM	y shouldn't he rub salt in those furry little hamster wounds when its so much fun?
bgt 12-16-04, 11:02 AM	:lightbulb Orcy, if I'm returned to normal, and I get a replacement hamster, can I go free? I was thinking Cazic... In the meantime, i'll be running on the wheel. Or eating. Yeah, definately eating. This stuff is just too good to pass up.
Dyne 12-16-04, 02:08 PM	Orcy, can I test out a character that isn't participating in the IFWG (yet) here? I have a character concept that I think is pretty cool, and I like to see how it fares before putting it into action.
Sssargoth 12-16-04, 03:57 PM	Orcy, you seem to have missed this (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5040564&postcount=1553) post.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 04:05 PM	"Yeah, friendly battle. Maybe we can give it a go. But we aint fighting fer hamster boy here. He lost, now hes a good little hamster. Isn't that right. Yeeeesssss." Gurgetar scratches the hamster under the chin and makes a goofy face like someone playing with their pet. Because... it is his pet.
Dyne 12-16-04, 04:20 PM	A man in a white tunic walks into the arena. He has two very large swords on his back, but he wears no armor, neither does he carry a shield. He has eyes of violet that seem to burn and flicker as flames. His skin is very pale, and a conflict of light and dark seems to follow him everywhere, even though he seems like a perfectly nice fellow. He is about average height, but on the slender side. He walks very nimbly, and he seems to float on air. He makes no sound from his footsteps nor his breathing. He is a Tiefling Ranger 11/Duelist 3. He's a character I just created and want to test out, though he probably won't be in the IFWG (at least, not any time soon). I'll PM the stats to Orcy if he'll let me use him in one practice fight, just to see how he fares.

Dyne 12-16-04, 04:23 PM	Orcy could match him up against Dun-Gar, he hasnt been used at all yet in the IFGW. All right, then. Should I PM his stats to you? Or just post them here?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 04:24 PM	Whichever way you wanna do it. Orcy can take em either way as long as he gets the stats.

And I might have calculated FF-AC and Touch-AC incorrectly.
Sssargoth 12-16-04, 04:46 PM	"Yeah, friendly battle. Maybe we can give it a go. But we aint fighting fer hamster boy here. He lost, now hes a good little hamster. Isn't that right. Yeeeesssss." Gurgetar scratches the hamster under the chin and makes a goofy face like someone playing with their pet. Because... it is his pet. "I did not mean battling for hampsters. The most that would be wagered between us would be pride. If you don't want money for his release, how about a new and unusual pet. I am loathe to give it awawy because I have so few of them." He pulls out a vial with what appears to be filled with a translucent white liquid. "It is called neural putty. (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5039066&postcount=700) "
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 04:56 PM	Monks belt adds the monks AC bonus to your ac, not wisdom. Unless they changed something on Orcy when he wasnt looking.
Dyne 12-16-04, 05:00 PM	Monks belt adds the monks AC bonus to your ac, not wisdom. Unless they changed something on Orcy when he wasnt looking. Well, since Monk's add Wis to AC, some people say that the Monk's Belt adds Wis to AC. I don't know, though. Just adding the Monk's AC bonus isn't much, 'cause at Level 5 (for the belt), it's only +1. But, it also increases your unarmed damage.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 05:23 PM	Well, since Monk's add Wis to AC, some people say that the Monk's Belt adds Wis to AC. I don't know, though. Just adding the Monk's AC bonus isn't much, 'cause at Level 5 (for the belt), it's only +1. But, it also increases your unarmed damage. Looking over the stat set for the monk in the PHB. Orcy believes that when it says the ac bonus, it refers to the column labeled AC bonus.
Dyne 12-16-04, 05:25 PM	Looking over the stat set for the monk in the PHB. Orcy believes that when it says the ac bonus, it refers to the column labeled AC bonus. All right. I think that's what they meant also. It would be awfully powerful to add Wis to AC, so it would probably cost more for that. I'll adjust the stats accordingly....
Dyne 12-16-04, 05:29 PM	Got it. Initiative: 9 Username: Numer vs. Dun Gar1 The man in the white tunic strides into the arena and takes his place. He then watches his opponent, Dun Gar, and waits for him to start. Best to get this over with soon. I have to go in about an hour.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 05:47 PM	Dun Gar walks out into the arena. Pulling his large sword off his back he stands in a readied position. He howled out loudly, charging ahead at the man before him. He stops right infront of the man swinging his sword around to cut at him. Initiative: 16 Charge Attack: 35 Damage: 28 Rolling under DunGar1
Dyne 12-16-04, 06:00 PM	Numer staggers slightly from the force of the blow. Using his two swords, he then begins chopping at Dun Gar in a flurry of blows. (not actually using the Monk ability Flurry of Blows) Attack1: 23 Attack2: 26 Attack3: 30 Attack4: 32 Attack5: 26 Attack6: 24 I don't know which of those hit, so I'll roll damage for all of them: Damage1: 6 Damage2: 8 Damage3: 9 Damage4: 6 Damage5: 10 Damage6: 11 Orcy, what's your AC?
Dyne 12-16-04, 06:10 PM	I just looked at your character, and realized that Numer probably doesn't stand a chance. Only one of the attacks hit because your AC is 32. So, Dun Gar takes 6 damage. :rolleyes:
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 06:20 PM	Dun-Gar grins as the majority of the blows bounce off of his armor. Only two of the slashes landing as Dun-Gar recovered from his charge. His sword suddenly burst into flames as he brought it back across the man's body. Swinging in three large slashes. Missing twice after landing a solid hit with his first strike. AC is 32 One attack hit for 27 damage
Dyne 12-16-04, 06:26 PM	Wait, you charged, right? Wouldn't that lower your AC by 2 points? So, actually, two of the attacks would have hit, for 15 damage total (still not much). Numer doubles back before unleashing another onslaught of attacks. Attack1: 37 (hit) Attack2: 41 (hit) Attack3: 26 Attack4: 29 Attack5: 29 Attack6: 14 (natural 1/auto miss) Damage1: 3 Damage2: 11 14 damage this turn.
Dyne 12-16-04, 06:29 PM	I gotta go now. I think Dun Gar won anyway.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 06:36 PM	Dun-Gar takes a few smacks but just smirks. His muscles buldge as his eyes turn red and he roars loudly in the man's face. Bringing his sword around and swinging with powerful slashes. RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE Attacks: 39, 33, 32 Damage: 24, 19
bgt 12-16-04, 06:41 PM	I'm willing to fight someone in an anything goes match with my new charachter, Teth Gy'ar. He's a Snakewalker. (a hombrew PC, link in my sig) Anyone?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 06:46 PM	To unconciousness or to the hamster?
bgt 12-16-04, 06:50 PM	Unconciousness sounds good. And you thought I didn't learn my lesson. ;) Initiative:5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43521)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-04, 06:51 PM	Orcy wasnt agreeing to the fight, just asking what you planned on.
bgt 12-16-04, 06:53 PM	Oh. Does anyone want to fight?:fight!:
The Vorpal Tribble 12-16-04, 07:41 PM	Wouldn't mind fighting you with Umbra... what character are you using though?
bgt 12-17-04, 06:37 AM	Teth. I just made him, though he uses a homebrew PC, The Snakewalker. There are links to both in my sig.
NightScreamer20 12-17-04, 08:49 AM	I'm bored... Who wants to face off against the Dragonboss?
Dyne 12-17-04, 12:20 PM	I'm bored... Who wants to face off against the Dragonboss? It looks like Dun Gar smashed Numer. But, looking at the Message Boards, it seems agreed on that Monk's Belt let's the wearer add Wis to AC. I sent a question to Customer Service, so they should have an answer within the next few days. I'll use Numer against that Dragonboss. We can just assume that he doesn't add Wis to AC.
NightScreamer20 12-17-04, 12:27 PM	Non death, that ok? I just want to spar... However... I'm prolly leaving in an hour supposedly so... blah... dunno when i'll be back... hopefully ya know... tonight...
Dyne 12-17-04, 12:31 PM	Non death, that ok? I just want to spar... However... I'm prolly leaving in an hour supposedly so... blah... dunno when i'll be back... hopefully ya know... tonight... Well, seeing as Numer hasn't really entered the IFWG (yet), it would be a shame for him to die already. To unconsciousness. And we should be able to resolve it within a few minutes.
bgt 12-17-04, 01:07 PM	Me and Umbra were about to fight...wait your turn. Unless we can have a 4-way fight...
Dyne 12-17-04, 01:45 PM	This is what Customer Service said about the Monk's Belt: The character would gain the wisdom bonus to armor as long as they were wearing no armor and unencumbered. Since Numer doesn't wear armor, and he's not carrying much gear, he would be able to add his Wisdom bonus to AC. Perhaps we should try that again Orcy? But, maybe not until I work on the character some more.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-17-04, 08:00 PM	Ok, I'm here, been a very hectic coupla days, but its settled down now. Tell me when you want to start, BGT ;)
The Vorpal Tribble 12-17-04, 08:05 PM	Oh, and I might challenge you NightScreamer, but your Dragonboss is way over 15. most noticable is you being feral raises the LA by at least +1 and Orcy told me that he'd only allow the Improved Grab to be used by feral creatures because the rest don't apply or some such, so you also wouldn't have Pounce.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-17-04, 08:17 PM	Feral applies for all racial HD. But class HD dont apply for the abilities gained through the template.
Dyne 12-17-04, 08:19 PM	Orcy, do you want to redo that battle between Dun Gar and Numer, this time with my improved AC? I think I'm gonna use a slightly different strategy as well.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-17-04, 08:21 PM	Not right now, Orcy has some GM stuff to do and a lot to look over. He seems to have missed a bunch while heading home for the vacation.

Dyne 12-17-04, 09:03 PM	Name: ChaosEvoker3 Init: 11 You go first! Same rules as last time? To unconscious. Mage Duel rules. Aseir strides into the arena pit and faces Racanath. He readies his staff and waits for the referee's okay. At the start of the battle, he quickly casts a spell on himself, and a shimmering field surrounds him. Cast Protection from Good. Go.
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:22 PM	Racanath waves his hands intricately and suddenly many spells go off in mere seconds. I cast Time Stop TimeStop=2 In those rounds I cast: Horrid Wilting Spell Turning Rolls: HorridWilting1= 73 dmg (Reflex DC 27 for half) SpellTurning = 10 leves Your turn EDIT: Sorry for the long time I had to look up some rules (I rolled a 3.0 version of Horrid Wilting and had to reroll...for example.)
Dyne 12-17-04, 09:27 PM	Aseir launches a counterspell at Racanath's spell. The spells clash, and each bids for superiority. He then waves his hand, doing away with Racanath's defenses. Countered the Horrid Wilting with Dispel Magic. I then used an area dispel against the Spell Turning with Greater Dispel Magic. Caster Level Check for Counterspell: 17
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:29 PM	Your gonna need to roll for both of those. EDIT: 17 isn't good enough for either. (11+my level (18) DC)
Dyne 12-17-04, 09:30 PM	Your gonna need to roll for both of those. I put up the CL check for the dispel, and the modifier for the Area Dispel would be +35, already beyond you I believe.
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:32 PM	True enough, no Spell Turning, but Horrid Wilting hits. EDIT: Wait! you can't counter either of those the spells went off during the Time Stop. They had already taken effect before you knew they had been cast.
Dyne 12-17-04, 09:35 PM	Your gonna need to roll for both of those. EDIT: 17 isn't good enough for either. (11+my level (18) DC) Wait, your CL is only 7? EDIT: All right, I couldn't counter the Horrid Wilting. But, the Spell Turning counter was an Area Dispel on my turn. EDIT2: Wait, the damage from Horrid Wilting doesn't look to add up. Your Caster Level is 18?
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:36 PM	No my Caster Level is 18
Dyne 12-17-04, 09:40 PM	No my Caster Level is 18 How did your Caster Level get to 18?
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:40 PM	XP from Becoming a Versemaster and RPing at the HEF.
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:42 PM	Sounds fair enough with the area Dispel being on your turn. My turn then?
Dyne 12-17-04, 09:44 PM	XP from Becoming a Versemaster and RPing at the HEF. Man, Sil hands out XP like candy. Fair enough. Reflex: 17 (I think that fails) And that takes my character down.
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:48 PM	Racanath cheeres a cry of victory as the moisture is pulled out of Aesir's body, felling him. The Mage Duel disappate and Aesir comes become concious again. "Someday, when you have the courage, I will fell you in a real battle and remove your vile evil form the world." With that Racanath turns his back and walks off.

I want a rematch. After I make a few purchase, of course."
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 09:58 PM	Spins back around. "Coward am I? Fine then, I will give you your rematch, go make your purchases and we will fight again." Note OOG: As per the rules of Mage Duels we didn't lose any of our prepared spells or take any actual dmg.
Dyne 12-17-04, 10:01 PM	Aseir returns with a Staff of Greater Dispel Magic. "I'm ready to settle this." Staff of Greater Dispel Magic: *Dispel Magic, Greater 1 charge Price: 58,500 gp.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-17-04, 10:02 PM	I think there are some new rules that you can't fight two fights in a row :P
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-17-04, 10:05 PM	Hes right, you cant have two fights in a row, there must be a break between them.
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 10:07 PM	Well we can't fight again according to Orcy, sorry. But I will be glad to take you on tomorrow. Same time?
Dyne 12-17-04, 10:08 PM	Hes right, you cant have two fights in a row, there must be a break between them. "WHAT! I won't stand for this! I don't care for your rules. This is not settled. You will die Racanath, traitor!" That's a challenge to the death.
ChaosEvoker 12-17-04, 11:06 PM	"Fool...do you not see how I defeated you in one spell? I will smite you again if you wish me to. Obviously you'll need to use your precious little staff to win, since you can't do it of your own accord." With that Racanath leaves to prepare for the offered challenge.

Obviously you'll need to use your precious little staff to win, since you can't do it of your own accord." With that Racanath leaves to prepare for the offered challenge. Of course I'll have to use that staff. I didn't expect you to jump from CL 11 to CL 18.

As Teth bows his head and begins to chant, both his snakes take off towards the dragon. The brown one only moves about 20 feet, though the green one goes all the way to Ssargoth. Teth raises his head and hand, and from him streaks a large sepent comprised of billowing clouds of a green gas. This new snake heads for Sssargoth and flies straight through him, burning Sssargoth with acid before disapearing at the far end of the wall. The brown snake then raises itself of and squirts the dragon with a jet of poison. My Large constrictor snake ran towards you and is now next to you, which I belive entitles you to an attack of oppurtunity.

grimclaw 12-20-04, 12:20 PM	Since the guild wars are over( :pbbbtt: )what about this thread?I would like to point out that it serves the purpose of allowing us to test classes,races and new combinations as well as spells and items.It runs without significant problems(under the iron fist of beloved dictator for life Orcy).Can we continue to battle here as it only partially had anything to do with the guild wars.It would be a shame to stop the action in this thread as it is a useful tool as well as highly entertaining.I'm sure that I'm not the only person to feel this way.

I'll start off with 1 attack until Orcy says otherwise. The dragon bites at the snake that dared approach him in a threatining manner, and also shields his eyes from the incoming poison rather easilly. He then attacks the snake in front of him with everythig he has. A 22 hits. Im using my bite, if your wonderin. The snake takes 10. made the save with a 22 Attacking with my bite, claws, and wings.

Attack rolls: 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43967), 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43970) Damage: 8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43971) As the first one hit, the snake will be starting a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of oppurtunity (improved grab) Grapple Check: 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43972) If that suceeds, he'll constrict you for 7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43973) damage. passed the poison save with an 18. Beat the spell save with a 21 Beat grapple with a 21 I expend my psionic focus to charge my bite attack with psionic energy using greater psionic fist and full attack. Bite: 17 Claw 1: Natural 20. Possible crit. Backed up with a total of 20 Claw 2: 26 Wing 1: 28 Wing 2: 18 Damage Bite: 10 + 15 = 25 Claw 1: 16 Claw 2: 9 Wing 1: 9 Wing 2: 8 Total: 67 damage Nothin like beatin a dead horse...er, snake
bgt 12-20-04, 06:18 PM	Teth stares at Sssargoth as the green snake falls unconcious. Removing a small black bead from his pocket, Teth smiles, runs his thumb over the two fangs engraved in the bead, and begins to walk foward. After moving foward about 30 feet, Teth throws the bead at Sssargoth. Upon hitting the dragon, the bead bursts into eight tiny vipers, which begin to squirm about and bite Sssargoth. I moved 30 feet and used a fang bead. The attack rolls for the tiny vipers are as follows: 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43989) 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43990) 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43991) 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43992) 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43994) 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43995) 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43996) 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43997) None hit. Anger. The brown snake spits more poison at you. Attack Roll: 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=43999)
Sssargoth 12-20-04, 06:31 PM	All the snakes have to make a DC 20 fort save against my Energy Burst (Cold). The energy burst is augmented with 1 PP for 6d6+6 damage Energy Burst (Cold): 31 if they fail, 15 if they make it
bgt 12-20-04, 06:42 PM	Attacks of Oppurtunity: 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44000) 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44001) 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44002) 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44003) 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44004) 7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44006) 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44007) 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44008) They have 1 HP each. 9 snakes in the course of 2 rounds gone. That can't be right. :raincloud The brown snake runs up to you. You get an attack of oppurtunity, then I run up to you.
Sssargoth 12-20-04, 06:54 PM	Did you make a fort save for the brown snake, because that was in range of my energy burst. AOO on remaning snake. Bite: 28 attk, 9 damage 5 Ft. step back and another augmented Energy Burst (Cold). Fort save DC 20 for half. 28 damage on a failed save, 14 if made
bgt 12-20-04, 07:14 PM	There goes the mlarraun... Just made the save:20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44012) Attack of oppurtunity: natural 1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44013) I'll take a step towards you and bite you. Attack roll: 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44014), 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44015) Damage:3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44016) Also, you have to make a DC 22 save or take 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44017) constitution damage from my poison. Also, I'm using improved grab. Grapple check:23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44020) If you fail the grapple check you take 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44021) damage from my constriction, and I'll start to swallow you.
Sssargoth 12-20-04, 07:22 PM	Made the save with a 30. :P Now the grapple check. Beat that with a 30 too. 5 Ft. step back and regain psionic focus, which I do't have to roll because of my +21 concentration
bgt 12-20-04, 09:51 PM	:ahem: 5 foot staep foward and attack Attack rolls:16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44044), 7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44045)
Sssargoth 12-20-04, 10:23 PM	5 Ft. step back. Make a will save DC 20 against my time hop power
bgt 12-21-04, 06:51 AM	Will Save=natural 1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44130) My wisdom checks each round to return: 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44131), 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44132), 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44133), 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44134) The dice must hate me.
Sssargoth 12-21-04, 01:52 PM	You need to make 2 more wisdom checks because it lasts for 6 rounds. While bgt is temporarily out of the time line, I move 60 feet in the direction of the opposite wall. I then turn around and fly 40 feet into the air and hover, waiting for him to pop back into existance. I'm readying an Energy Cone (Fire) that I will use when he reappears.
bgt 12-21-04, 04:12 PM	11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44183), 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44184) Just a Cone of Fire? I was expecting something much worse. Probably shouldn't be giving you ideas, though.
Sssargoth 12-21-04, 04:31 PM	11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44183), 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44184) Just a Cone of Fire? I was expecting something much worse. Probably shouldn't be giving you ideas, though. Don't worry. it's augmented to the max, with 1 PP. Reflex save DC 20 for half. 22 on a failed save, 11 on a made save and that takes up my readied action.
bgt 12-21-04, 04:38 PM	So, am I back, or are you doing something else?
Sssargoth 12-21-04, 04:51 PM	your back, time hops duration ended
bgt 12-21-04, 05:23 PM	25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44205) I'll send another enlarged, maximized Ice Dagger at you. That's 40 damage, 20 on a DC 15 reflex saving throw.
Dyne 12-21-04, 05:25 PM	Whatever happened to the descriptive text?
bgt 12-21-04, 05:34 PM	It started to take too long to type.
Sssargoth 12-21-04, 06:32 PM	made the save with an 18. Make another DC 20 reflex save against my Energy cone (Fire). Fail the save take 26, make it take 13
BronzeBeard 12-21-04, 06:55 PM	Haven't Wizo's stopped the games?
Dyne 12-21-04, 07:17 PM	Haven't Wizo's stopped the games? They didn't lock the arena, though.
bgt 12-22-04, 06:46 AM	We begged the Wiz_Os to spare this board. Made the save with a 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44321). Teth scowled. These attacks were easy to evade, but still... With as quick chant, he flung another snake-shaped icicle at the dragon. If he couldn't finish this quickly... I cast an enlarged Ice Dagger at you. 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44322)*2 =30 damage on a failed save.
Sssargoth 12-22-04, 01:32 PM	Passed the reflex save with a 27 I manifest Energy Resistance (Cold). I'm now a red dragon with cold resistance 10 DC 22 reflex save against my augmented Energy Cone (Electricity). You take 25 on a failed save, 12 on a made save
The Vorpal Tribble 12-22-04, 01:40 PM	For pete's sake, your a dragon, go bite him Sssargoth :dragon:
ChaosEvoker 12-22-04, 01:44 PM	But biting is so...so....basic so unrefined. It is, after all, a dragon's last resort. :D ;) :P
jagggar 12-22-04, 01:52 PM	Depending on the dragon, I think running away could be the last resort for some.
Sssargoth 12-22-04, 02:12 PM	Depending on the dragon, I think running away could be the last resort for some. I am a wyrmling, but why should I run away? I'm only at half HP, which is 74. :P
The Vorpal Tribble 12-22-04, 02:12 PM	Bah, use what you got when its in your best interest to use it. So far they can't hit each other, and personally I think its tacky just hurling blasts of cold and fire and shooting lightening bolts ;) Just do whats required and worry about style later is my motto!
jagggar 12-22-04, 02:35 PM	Of course, if you can look cool while kicking butt, more power to you.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-22-04, 03:12 PM	I dunno, there is always merit in looking underwhelming. Ask any thief ;)
bgt 12-22-04, 04:14 PM	19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44437) That leaves me at 36. I'll send a enlarged, energy subbed(acid) Ice dagger at you. 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44438) on a failed save.
BronzeBeard 12-22-04, 05:07 PM	go for the eyes Boo go for the eyes!!!!!!!!!!!! hhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
bgt 12-22-04, 08:49 PM	If I could spit my poison, trust me, I would.
Cazic 12-22-04, 08:53 PM	If I could spit my poison, trust me, I would. then mabye u should add another "Secret of the serpent" to make it so that u could spit poison.
bgt 12-22-04, 09:02 PM	then mabye u should add another "Secret of the serpent" to make it so that u could spit poison. Actually, I did. I just didn't take it. I went for the ability to swallow stuff whole instead. In retrospect, now that he's flying, I probably should have.
Cazic 12-22-04, 09:22 PM	Actually, I did. I just didn't take it. I went for the ability to swallow stuff whole instead. In retrospect, now that he's flying, I probably should have. couldn't you still get it after u gain a lvl or 2?
Sssargoth 12-22-04, 11:26 PM	19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44437) That leaves me at 36. I'll send a enlarged, energy subbed(acid) Ice dagger at you. 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44438) on a failed save. I made the save and take no damage from the cold spell due to my temporary cold resistance. Make another DC 22 reflex save against my Electric energy cone. 20 damage on a failed save
Dyne 12-22-04, 11:28 PM	This battle is STILL going on?
Sssargoth 12-22-04, 11:34 PM	Yup, since the IFWG is on hold, I figure we can take our time finishing it.
Demonfey 12-22-04, 11:54 PM	Orcy, can I finish this already? This is getting boring.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-23-04, 12:27 AM	Come on guys... lets get this going. The war may be over but Orcy doesnt like this taking forever...
Demonfey 12-23-04, 12:36 AM	Hey, Orcy, could you help me with something in the GoUE? We want to run a little "test" for new members, and I just want someone experienced there to make sure I don't mess this up.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-23-04, 01:01 AM	Test for new members how?
Dyne 12-23-04, 01:09 AM	I was gonna set up an adventure for a new person who wants to join the GoUE. He's accepted, and it's mainly to provide an IG explanation of why we actually trust him, considering all the spying. Also, it's to bring him up to speed, since he said that he's a little rusty.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-23-04, 01:24 AM	You... realize the game is over right now. So you cant be playing to have an in game reason for something...
Dyne 12-23-04, 01:26 AM	The WizO's were trying to bring it back up, or so I thought. I'll PM them about it as well, just to make sure.
Demonfey 12-23-04, 01:32 AM	That, and I thought that the WizO_s said that they were bringing it back but were figuring out what they wanted this to be. In the mean time, there shouldn't be too much fuss about a little initiation that allows people to blow stuff up, and it can be justified.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-23-04, 01:35 AM	The games are currently on hold. They are not back yet. So things dealing with the games are not allowed currently. Orcy would love to see the idea go through, but right now, Orcy doesnt want to tick off any WizOs.
Dyne 12-23-04, 01:36 AM	I've thought about it. I'm gonna come up with something that will be able to incorporate ANYONE who wants to participate. If a Good character, for example, wants to participate, I could work them into a challenge for the Evil characters involved (since it was originally gonna be a Guild of Evil event). I think it would be interesting. Instead of just having a few PC's fighting against a DM's NPC's, other Players could play the parts of the said NPC's, and therefore take part in the fun.

Orcy would love to see the idea go through, but right now, Orcy doesnt want to tick off any WizOs. I asked WizO_Catoblepas about it. Sent a nice little PM to him. It explains basically everything of what the event would be.

I think it would be interesting. Instead of just having a few PC's fighting against a DM's NPC's, other Players could play the parts of the said NPC's, and therefore take part in the fun. Hold on a moment. First, I just wanted Orcy there to make sure we didn't horribly mess this up if it is allowed. All blame would be attached to us, since we would be running it. Second, one step at a time. Have it as a test for the GoUE first, and then let it evolve from there. That way, we can build rules from experience, and possibly prevent an issue of such magnitude as with the IFWG.
Dyne 12-23-04, 01:50 AM	It was going to be both: a test for the GoUE and an adventure for everyone. I just would rather it be open to everyone, rather than exclusive to a single foundation. What do you mean by rules? This is a single adventure. The rules are the same as regular D&D. We just need to figure out what everyone's stats are, since it's not clear if we're just gonna wipe things clear or not. The Mountain Top Arena has always run smoothly. It was when foundations started declaring war on each other that things got rough. And the adventure, when PC-vs.-PC is concerned, would basically be a series of arena battles. EDIT: Also, I DEFINITELY want Orcy there. If not to run things, but to at least help out. We can't do it without him.

Point, but we should lay down a couple rules for it, before opening it up for mass slaughter on all sides. Let's talk about this in the GoUE.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-23-04, 01:56 AM	Orcy would prefer to wait for official word. He would be happy to help you guys out when or if the games are given the go ahead.
Demonfey 12-23-04, 12:21 PM	Orcy would prefer to wait for official word. He would be happy to help you guys out when or if the games are given the go ahead. We are too, but we want to have this ready if they allow it.
NightScreamer20 12-23-04, 03:58 PM	Anything Goes Duel to the Death Caronath vs ??? I gotta work tonight from 12a - 5a GMT OR 7p - 12 a EST (i think that's right) If anyone wishes to do so just post it here... Caronath needs some XP and cash...
bgt 12-23-04, 06:08 PM	15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44668) Sssargoth, you took damage from the last Ice dagger. It did acid damage, not cold. Now I'll send another one at you. 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44669) acid damage on a failed save. It's enlarged and energy subbed(acid).
Sssargoth 12-23-04, 08:42 PM	Sssargoth, you took damage from the last Ice dagger. It did acid damage, not cold. Didn't see the energy sub on it before. I just saw the ice dagger and didnt read much beyond that... Now I'll send another one at you. 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44669) acid damage on a failed save. It's enlarged and energy subbed(acid). Yer gunna hate me on this... I got a natural 20 on the save... Your turn to make a save. DC 20 will save against recall agony. 22 damage on a failed save.
NightScreamer20 12-24-04, 01:30 AM	Would Orcy allow Caronath to open up a Potions shop @ the arena? :cool: I think this is a nice place to do business as that... Grab a healing potion before battle or sumthing... I could have a Hospital instead...
bgt 12-24-04, 01:16 PM	My 5th natural 1 this game. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44804) With that you win, Sssargoth. Good game.
NightScreamer20 12-24-04, 03:30 PM	My 5th natural 1 this game. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44804) With that you win, Sssargoth. Good game. Dicebot hates you.... :rimshot: So anyway, who wants to battle Caronath? Anyone? Plz? :weep:
The Vorpal Tribble 12-24-04, 03:46 PM	A figure walks into the arena and shouts to Caronath, "So you have answered my summons. Good..." This being before you appears to be a very-humanoid shaped earth elemental composed entirely of light grey, almost silvery transparent crystal. Far within the depths of the crystal, seemingly much farther than it could actually physically be, are ghostly phantams of white lights flowing all about in vein-shaped, endlessly repeating fractal patterns. He is quite short, only around four and a half feet, though extremely broad and dwarfly proportioned. His eyes appear a deep, opaque turquoise with no pupil, and slight cracks running from the middle in a slight jig-jag pattern to the outter edges. His mouth is a wide slit beneath these eyes and inside teeth with sharpe tips flicker.
Cazic 12-24-04, 04:28 PM	19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44437) That leaves me at 36. I'll send a enlarged, energy subbed(acid) Ice dagger at you. 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44438) on a failed save. is energy subbing a spell or a feat?
NightScreamer20 12-24-04, 06:01 PM	Feat.
NightScreamer20 12-24-04, 06:03 PM	Caronath turns around a broad smile on his face, but it slowly turns into a look of utter confusion. "My word... I... What... What ARE you!?"
Cazic 12-24-04, 06:59 PM	A cloaked figure in the back of the stands looks upon the combatants as his familiar, a Hawk, chases after a mouse tied to a post in the shaded area the figure created with a stone shape spell. "This should prove to be a most entertaining battle. I only hope it doesn't take as long as the last one. it seemed as if it went one for days."
Cazic 12-24-04, 07:00 PM	Feat. whats it called I can't find it?
Demonfey 12-24-04, 08:07 PM	whats it called I can't find it? Energy substitution is the name. See Complete Arcana or Blood and Tome for it.

Took all week, actually.
Sssargoth 12-24-04, 08:20 PM	Energy substitution is the name. See Complete Arcana or Blood and Tome for it. I thought it was in the PHB too, and its called Tome and Blood. ;)
Dyne 12-24-04, 08:21 PM	It's not in the Players Handbook. Or, do you mean Planar Handbook? Stupid abbreviations....
Sssargoth 12-24-04, 09:11 PM	Its not in the 3.5 Players handbook?
NightScreamer20 12-24-04, 10:03 PM	No Energy Subsitution is from Complete Arcane...
NightScreamer20 12-24-04, 10:10 PM	Bah I really don't care anymore, I'm all set for death *shrugs* I'll roll Init just for kicks and giggles... Hurrah... Init: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=44882)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-25-04, 12:48 AM	Ahem. Orcy is going to have to shut down these battles until he gets permission from the WizOs to keep the arena running. So, Orcy is going to have to ask you not to fight this battle (the other was allowed to finish because it began before the shut down).
Cazic 12-25-04, 10:08 AM	Actually, it did go on for days. Took all week, actually. for US it was a week, but for the characters is was a hour at the most. i was using playon words to bug the combatants of the week long battle.
Cazic 12-25-04, 10:18 AM	Energy substitution is the name. See Complete Arcana or Blood and Tome for it. can someone post the feat name and discription i only have a DMG and some dled stuff. :weep:
Dyne 12-26-04, 02:11 AM	I think people may be hesitant to post the feat here because they may encounter copyright problems for doing so. Someone may PM or email it to you if you really want to use it for a character or something.

Demonfey 12-26-04, 01:23 PM	Energy Substitution You switch one energy type for another permanently with one spell. THAT IS IT.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-26-04, 03:07 PM	Energy Substitution You switch one energy type for another permanently with one spell. THAT IS IT. Not quite. Energy substitution allows you to switch a spells energy type at will. Such as an acidball instead of a fireball. Or a coldbolt instead of a lightning bolt.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-26-04, 03:18 PM	Thats a nice thing about psions, doesn't have to choose a type or take a feat, can choose every manifesting. However, it annoys me how acid is considered an 'energy'. Lightening is the gathering and focusing of electrons. Fair enough. Fire is energizing molecules, cold is sucking out the energy. Again, works fine. Sonics, merely the vibrations of matter and the like. Perfectly acceptable... Acid... acid is a substance, not an energy. It looks like one of those little tests that said something like "Which one of these don't belong with the other?" Fire, Lightening, Acid, Cold, or Sound? You'd most certainly pick acid since it is not a focus of energy. Whats to stop me from building an acid proof vat and filling it full of this horrible acids and using it for some other dire purpose? Can't contain the other stuff for future use (well, maybe the lightening, but generally not out of Futuristic campaigns). Just yet another complaint I have ;)
Dyne 12-26-04, 06:06 PM	And what about bases, the opposite of acid? Basically damage things like acid, but they can be used to neutralize it.
NightScreamer20 12-27-04, 12:15 AM	Not quite. Energy substitution allows you to switch a spells energy type at will. Such as an acidball instead of a fireball. Or a coldbolt instead of a lightning bolt. Well ya, but you choose the type of energy when you take the feat... Ex. I have Energy Sub (Acid) allowing me to replace any energy with Acid energy... get it? @VT - Don't read too much into things. Acid is the 'Earth' type of 'Energy' it is a mixture of mineral and organic material in order to create a corrosive substance that can only be described as 'Acid'. I really think DnD should have just used 'Earth' like stone or what not... But hey... I mean it would be awesome tho 'Stoneball' instead of 'Fireball' a giant explosion of rock shards and dirt... Come on that's a fantastic image. Anyway... Um... Ya that's it...

Ya that's it... so if i got this feat it would only work for one element and if i wanted to have another element sub. i would have to get the feat again for that element? :confused:
grimclaw 12-27-04, 01:11 AM	yup.Best used if you have a theme in mind for your spellcaster or want to cover a weakness caused by a theme(IE,a fire mage with cold substitution). :teach:
Sssargoth 12-27-04, 01:11 AM	thats about it, yeah.
Cazic 12-27-04, 01:38 AM	:plotting: hmmmm...yes i see. ty.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-27-04, 02:58 AM	Well, thing is, some psionic powers such as Energy Conversion lets you absorb the energy of these powers and then throw it back. Acid don't make sense even with some of what was mentioned above :bored:
grimclaw 12-27-04, 03:05 AM	Depends on how you describe it maybe your not absorbing it just containing it with your mind and then throwing it back.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-27-04, 03:32 AM	Energy Conversion Psychometabolism [see text] Level: Psion/wilder 7 Display: Mental Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal and close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels); see text Effect: Ray; see text Duration: 10 min./level Saving Throw: None Power Resistance: Yes Power Points: 13 As energy adaptation, except that instead of radiating away energy as light, you store up the energy and can later discharge it as a ray. To discharge a ray requires a standard action. You can choose to fire any number of rays during the power’s duration. The ray you fire must be of one of the energy types you have stored (if you have stored more than one type, you can choose what kind of energy to use for each ray). If a ray successfully strikes its target (requiring a ranged touch attack), the target takes damage equal to the amount of energy damage of that type you have stored, up to a maximum of three times your manifester level. As long as this power remains in effect, you can continue to absorb energy damage and fire additional rays using the stored damage. This power’s subtype is the same as the type of energy you discharge in a ray; thus, its subtype can change during the course of the power’s duration.

Cazic 12-27-04, 09:19 PM	the conversation continued. now if only it would keep going or a new one would start and last until the games start back up. :D
bgt 12-28-04, 10:48 AM	I think WotC agrees with you, Tribble. Refer to the Pyrokinetiscist converision (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040625e) on the Mind's Eye. Note the line "Although acid has been removed as an energy type..." Ah, Mind's Eye. Even in death you continue to serve us. :weep:

BronzeBeard 12-29-04, 04:15 AM	:confused: Who or what is Mind's Eye? Excactly.
De Batavier 12-29-04, 07:23 AM	The Mind eye is a (now retired) series of psionics articles on the WotC website. Any indication that the Arena can continue Orcy?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-29-04, 09:40 AM	The wars have been given the OK. But first we need to come up with a clear set of rules and all that. So, Orcy supposes that is a yes, the arena can stay.
bgt 12-29-04, 10:08 AM	:w00t: The Arena can stay! First person to free me from Hamsterdom and supplys me with my ring of sustenence gets a free illithid graft!
De Batavier 12-29-04, 10:11 AM	:w00t: The Arena rules a quite clear, i think.
The Vorpal Tribble 12-29-04, 12:17 PM	Ok, lets bring it AWN Nightscreamer! :dancin:
Cazic 12-29-04, 01:24 PM	:w00t: Yay! the wars are back and the arena is alive again! :dancin:

bgt 12-29-04, 03:46 PM	Oh poo.
Cazic 12-29-04, 09:24 PM	Oh poo. Big Poo
The Vorpal Tribble 01-01-05, 01:54 AM	Hey Nightscreamer. You still up to a fight?
Cazic 01-01-05, 01:44 PM	so since the wars are back are all bets from here on out real? since all bets before now are no longer valid and any gold we got from them is gone.
Cazic 01-03-05, 08:48 AM	so since the wars are back are all bets from here on out real? since all bets before now are no longer valid and any gold we got from them is gone. Helloooo! Is anyone out there? *Begins looking around the arena* Hello?
BronzeBeard 01-03-05, 09:22 AM	*angrily wakes up* what?
BronzeBeard 01-03-05, 09:23 AM	:w00t: The Arena can stay! First person to free me from Hamsterdom and supplys me with my ring of sustenence gets a free illithid graft! What is a graft, actually?
bgt 01-03-05, 10:46 AM	It's where I take an appendage of some sort and basiclly sew it on to you. Illithid grafts are things like tentacles or humanoid skin.
BronzeBeard 01-03-05, 03:31 PM	It's where I take an appendage of some sort and basiclly sew it on to you. Illithid grafts are things like tentacles or humanoid skin. :yuck:

Cazic 01-04-05, 09:55 PM	hey didnt NightScreamer20 and Vorpal have a fight going? :confused:
The Vorpal Tribble 01-05-05, 11:25 PM	Supposedly.. now I think we have bordeom going... Anyone who wants to fight might as well go along...
Cazic 01-05-05, 11:28 PM	Supposedly.. now I think we have bordeom going... Anyone who wants to fight might as well go along... people's templates must be abroved first. ANYONE with a template please start a fight! :allalone:
bgt 01-06-05, 07:39 AM	Yes, someone please fight someone else!
Cazic 01-08-05, 08:15 PM	ok nothing is happening right now so i will try to get something started. This is a Class (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=358903) I invented. please make comments about it.
Droga 01-08-05, 11:01 PM	Once my character is approved, then I'll be ready to whoop someone.
turalisj 01-08-05, 11:06 PM	then you shall face my undead hunter!!! 2 sacred long swords! (2d6 damage vs evil outsiders!!!) :D i will strike you down and cast your bones into Ysgard!!!!!!
Droga 01-08-05, 11:15 PM	2d6!? OH NO!!! Have you taken a look at my sheet at all? *evil cackle*
turalisj 01-08-05, 11:19 PM	hmm, mybe i should get a few positoxins..... :P but how did you go from 18 to 38 strength?
Droga 01-08-05, 11:24 PM	hmm, mybe i should get a few positoxins..... :P but how did you go from 18 to 38 strength? Its all listed, just too lazy to look it over?
turalisj 01-08-05, 11:28 PM	:twitch: i dont even think a diety has that much strength...... :twitch:
Droga 01-08-05, 11:29 PM	Of course not, do you have any idea how many orphans I had to sacrifice for that?
turalisj 01-08-05, 11:37 PM	:rofl: i am sure you could tear down an entire city by yourself, unapposed........
bgt 01-09-05, 11:15 AM	38? That's more strength than I have intelligence! Ah well, at least you only have a puny +13 Will bonus. Against one of my telepathy powers, you would only make it on a natural 20. A pleasent thought, no?
Droga 01-09-05, 12:12 PM	38? That's more strength than I have intelligence! Ah well, at least you only have a puny +13 Will bonus. Against one of my telepathy powers, you would only make it on a natural 20. A pleasent thought, no? How do you figure that? If your spell save DCs are 33 or above, you might be a powergamer :P (I would know)
Cazic 01-09-05, 03:55 PM	then you shall face my undead hunter!!! 2 sacred long swords! (2d6 damage vs evil outsiders!!!) :D i will strike you down and cast your bones into Ysgard!!!!!! IF you beat him can i have those bones? And Droga when you kill him can I use his corpse I have experiments to conduct. :plotting: :evillaugh
bgt 01-09-05, 04:06 PM	It wouls appear I made a mistake calculating the save DCs in my last post. The formula I used was 10+power level+key ability modifier+manifester level(Please, hold the laughter till after the post). This was a rather stupid mistake on my part, a "brain fart", if you will. Really, for a level 1 power from the telepathy discipline, you would make the save on a 12 or higher. This means that you would save from a level 5 power on a 17 or higher. Not as good as was previously, but still a pleasent thought nonetheless.

bgt 01-09-05, 04:17 PM	Note to self: Become undead. Ok, now you'll have to roll a 14 or higher to avoid being thrown from the ring. Twice a round.(Schism) Have fun! ;)
turalisj 01-09-05, 04:19 PM	note to self: purchase aberition bane weapons......
Cazic 01-09-05, 04:19 PM	Not by you ;) I could help. ;)

Droga 01-09-05, 04:39 PM	Luckily I can kill him in two hits on average rolls. Almost on one if I do max... if only he was good... or an elf...
bgt 01-09-05, 04:42 PM	Yeah, melee kills me. :(
Cazic 01-09-05, 04:47 PM	Yeah, melee kills me. :( melee kills most magic users. :weep: Luckily I can kill him in two hits on average rolls. Almost on one if I do max... if only he was good... or an elf... Ya there are so many evil people. if someone was good and did stuff that does extra to evil they would kill and kill and kill. :D
bgt 01-09-05, 04:50 PM	melee kills most magic users. Yeah, that's true. Ya there are so many evil people. if someone was good and did stuff that does extra to evil they would kill and kill nd kill. :D Neutral rules!
turalisj 01-09-05, 04:53 PM	Luckily I can kill him in two hits on average rolls. Almost on one if I do max... if only he was good... or an elf... :eek: my character is both!
Cazic 01-09-05, 04:54 PM	Neutral rules! true true.Although Evil doesn't have to follow as many rules. :D
Cazic 01-09-05, 04:57 PM	:eek: my character is both! :rofl:

Orcy The Green Wonder 01-09-05, 05:05 PM	*Rocks back and forth mumbling about hamsters* Huh? What? Orcy is ok, really. So, Droga has been approved, Orcy will get around to others in a bit, so hold on for a bit longer, then Orcy should be able to get this arena going again.
bgt 01-09-05, 05:09 PM	Hey Orcy! Remember LNP? Wonder where's he's been? If you really must know, he's been playing with the chinchilla he got for Christmas. It's like a hamster, but better. Sorry Orcy, but I can't help but tease you a little.
Cazic 01-09-05, 05:16 PM	Hey Orcy! Remember LNP? Wonder where's he's been? If you really must know, he's been playing with the chinchilla he got for Christmas. It's like a hamster, but better.

bgt 01-09-05, 05:25 PM	steps away from bgt and starts waiting for the giant fireball to fall on him. :D What's wrong, Cazic? Gurgetar can almost never beat my SR...Oh, wait, it's coming from Orcy...
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-09-05, 05:31 PM	Yes, but Orcy isn't gurgetar. *Clubs bgt* ;)
Cazic 01-09-05, 05:55 PM	Yes, but Orcy isn't gurgetar. *Clubs bgt* ;) HULK SMASH! ;) :P
turalisj 01-09-05, 07:07 PM	*starts attacking bgt with 2 illithid bane longswords* :D :P

Cazic 01-14-05, 09:35 PM	Who wants Squid for dinner? how about you bgt? :P
bgt 01-15-05, 09:42 AM	If only I could eat... How are the charachter approvals coming along, Orcy?
Cazic 01-15-05, 11:06 AM	you can eat. you just eat brains. Hmmmm....Brains. Are you related to a zombie?
bgt 01-15-05, 11:39 AM	I suppose if I take a rock to something's head, I could eat it's brains... <But that would damage the brains and ruin the flavor. I'm better off with my ring of sustenence.>
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-15-05, 12:13 PM	If only I could eat... How are the charachter approvals coming along, Orcy? Slowly, Orcy hasn't really been on them lately considering the slow goings of the rules thread and such. As far as Orcy can tell (when he comes back and sees a good twenty new posts) we're just running around in circles. Orcy will work on them when he has the time (and patience) to sit down and look through characters.
Cazic 01-15-05, 06:59 PM	I suppose if I take a rock to something's head, I could eat it's brains... <But that would damage the brains and ruin the flavor. I'm better off with my ring of sustenence.> use you tentacles. thats how mindflayers eat. :D
Demonfey 01-15-05, 07:21 PM	One is ruined, which is why he uses the ring. Why not try a graft to replace the ruined one?
bgt 01-16-05, 08:27 AM	<It's something of a badge of honor to me.>
Demonfey 01-16-05, 09:59 AM	<It's something of a badge of honor to me.> Ah.
Demonfey 01-16-05, 10:06 AM	To have more fighting, why not say all characters are approved for purposes of the Arena until further notice.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-16-05, 12:37 PM	Because then things could slip on by, if people want to fight, then they need to say "Hey Orcy, approve my character" and Orcy will do it. Currently he can't remember those who have asked him to, so if you would like it, tell Orcy.
turalisj 01-16-05, 12:59 PM	well, i've fixed the things you said to fix, and added two rings.
bgt 01-16-05, 01:07 PM	Could you approve my charachter? It shouldn't take too long, It's exactly the same as the one you beat, but with 1 different power and some different items.
bgt 01-16-05, 02:03 PM	Well, my charchter has been approved, so I guess I could play someone. Hey Droga! Wanna fight me? Knockout, nothing gained or lost from the outcome...just a warmup, and to amuse everyone. :coolcthul
turalisj 01-16-05, 02:10 PM	i bet 200 on droga.
Cazic 01-16-05, 07:39 PM	if there is a fight I will make a bet.
Droga 01-17-05, 10:25 AM	Well, my charchter has been approved, so I guess I could play someone. Hey Droga! Wanna fight me? Knockout, nothing gained or lost from the outcome...just a warmup, and to amuse everyone. :coolcthul Hmm.. lets see... mind flayer, not an elf, nor related to the HEF foundation. Not really much reason for him to fight you right now.
Cazic 01-17-05, 01:36 PM	Hmm.. lets see... mind flayer, not an elf, nor related to the HEF foundation. Not really much reason for him to fight you right now. cast a illusion spell on him so he looks like a elf. :D :P
Solmund 01-18-05, 08:14 PM	Hmm.. lets see... mind flayer, not an elf, nor related to the HEF foundation. Not really much reason for him to fight you right now. hmm, am an elf, am a member of the HeF.... you do the math ;) . i wonder if i can use my thralls in battle........
Droga 01-18-05, 11:07 PM	hmm, am an elf, am a member of the HeF.... you do the math ;) . i wonder if i can use my thralls in battle........ Only if I allow it. But you would SSSSSUUUUUFFFFFFEEEEEERRRRRR :P
Cazic 01-18-05, 11:25 PM	Only if I allow it. But you would SSSSSUUUUUFFFFFFEEEEEERRRRRR :P ALLOW IT! We need some entertainment. Just make it a fun fight no one loses or gains anything other than a good time( and any bets they may have made :D ).
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-18-05, 11:28 PM	ALLOW IT! We need some entertainment. Just make it a fun fight no one loses or gains anything other than a good time( and any bets they may have made :D ). Need Orcy remind you that you may only bet if your character has been oked?
Cazic 01-18-05, 11:30 PM	Need Orcy remind you that you may only bet if your character has been oked? WHAT!!!!????? :eek: :weep:
Solmund 01-18-05, 11:39 PM	heh, i wonder if we can have naval battles. :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-18-05, 11:46 PM	heh, i wonder if we can have naval battles. :D Orcy could fight you in the water. Though you might not like fighting his flying ship ;)
Cazic 01-23-05, 09:23 PM	I am surprised there wasn't been any fights. Someone must be approved by NOW. @Orcy Can you approve my Template please?
Solmund 01-23-05, 09:52 PM	:D my thrall is a half-vampire fighter/shadow dancer/duelist :D his is realy something to contend with!
Cazic 01-23-05, 10:45 PM	:D my thrall is a half-vampire fighter/shadow dancer/duelist :D his is realy something to contend with! Then fight someone. Droga might fight you since you are part elf. bgt most likely will to.
bgt 01-24-05, 09:50 AM	I have no qualms about fighting someone. I assume this half-vampire thrall is immune to mind-affecting effects, right?
Cazic 01-26-05, 11:25 PM	Orcy dont you want to fight your x-hamster? :D :P
Cazic 02-02-05, 10:12 PM	It would seem everyone has fallen asleep. Soooooooo....... {pulls out a flamethrower and some sticks of TNT.} If no one is using this place I will just have to blow it up. :D
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-03-05, 03:57 AM	Orcy really can't go over peoples characters right now. Hes busy with school work and settling into classes and all that stuff currently. When that period is over, Orcy should be able to get to approving characters. But for now, Orcy suggests helping with the rules and such. While he doesn't personally enjoy rule creation, and hasn't taken a large part, he will still be overseeing the rulemaking process, as he has been doing. While Orcy hasnt been posting much hes been watching. So for now, this Arena will have to remain silent. Until characters can be approved and the rules are set and ready to go. Orcy should be back and kicking some time in the near future when he isn't still getting used to things. But he will still be lurking in the background and watching things. Just remember children Green Wonder is watching.
Cazic 02-03-05, 08:57 AM	Glad to hear it Orcy. I know that would wake someone up. :D
bgt 02-03-05, 10:59 AM	Just remember children Green Wonder is watching. He sees you when you're sleeping/He knows when you're awake/He knows if you've been bad or good... I don't know if I should start a new holiday for you or file a restraining order.
Cazic 02-03-05, 09:10 PM	He sees you when you're sleeping/He knows when you're awake/He knows if you've been bad or good... I don't know if I should start a new holiday for you or file a restraining order. :heehee
Solmund 02-03-05, 09:42 PM	:rofl: lol, nice one. what would we call it? Orcy-mas? :D

Orcday: A Tyranorian holiday in celebration of the day Orcy the Green Wonder scared bgt into filing a restraining order. On Orcday Eve, all able-bodied persons go into the countryside and kill any chickens they find, returning with their heads. On Orcday, everyone joins in a wonderful feast of fried chicken heads. The feast is akin to Earth's USA's Thanksgiving but way cooler and more greasy. Instead of watching (american) football as is done on Thanksgiving, celebraters of Orcday travel to Orcy's Arena to cheer combatants. On this day alone, are fried chicken heads free at Orcy's Arena. (However, liquid refreshments and dipping sauses are affordable only to epic characters. Don't even think about bringing your own.)

Dyne 02-04-05, 07:38 PM	You guys just brought up a wonderful idea. HOLIDAYS! Our game world needs holidays! It'd be pretty cool to flesh all those things out. But, perhaps this should be discussed in The Common Ground.

jagggar 02-04-05, 09:35 PM	Sheish, people losing an entire demi-plane-like-thing. . . What's the multi-verse coming to? I'll see if I can't dig it up.

Orcy The Green Wonder 03-06-05, 08:12 PM	The arena will be re-opened when the rules are done and characters are approved. Of course, it may take a while to approve characters since more and more keep being made. But Orcy is sure we can get it done once the rules are finished.

Caterane 04-03-05, 05:49 PM	Although there were plenty of explorers who ventured towards distant lands and hostile enviroments, few had travelled to this icy mountain range. However, here he was, alone, hungry, half-frozen, ...and full of hope upon seeing a settlement in this region. But it was not a mere village but had some of the sturdiest people he has ever seen, and much to his surprise, the center of the settlement was dominated by an arena - the Mountain Arena, as it was known. "I am from the City of Gladius" he explained to the curious population. "It is also called the City of Gladiators because of its arenas." He looked over at the arena where several hardy people fought each other - without the life saving protection of the Gladiosian Nimbus, that mysterious energy field around the city which auto-ressurected deceased gladiators. After watching the spectacle for a while he just said "I am sure you would do very well in Gladius" Hi people of the Mountain Arena! I've just recently heard about this arena and it seems to be a fun place to be! Of course, where an arena is involved, my curiosity takes over and I had to check it out. Why? Well, perhaps some of you have heard of the Core Coliseum, a board where gladiators fight each other in an arena, similar to this place, but you can also go on a quest for some weeks, or even on a campaign to test the build in a more dynamic enviroment. It works a bit differently than the Mountain Arena but it is surely worth a look while this arena is "on holiday" ;) So I want to invite all of you to visit the CoCo (links are in my sig), post a character, and let it fight against many many other characters. You will start at lvl 3 but with time and xp you can become an epic legend in the City of Gladius. I will try to come here more often when Orcy will re-open the Mountain Arena, perhaps even participate. I am sure we can both learn from each other. Until then... I hope I'll see you in Gladius :fight!: :) Cat
Sssargoth 04-03-05, 06:15 PM	Caterane, the Mountain top arena is on a mountain outside the the city of Tyranor. Unfortunately, the most recent map we have doesn't show where the city of Tyranor is. Nice RP btw.
Kingside_Bishop 04-03-05, 06:31 PM	Caterane, the Mountain top arena is on a mountain outside the the city of Tyranor. Unfortunately, the most recent map we have doesn't show where the city of Tyranor is. Nice RP btw.Actually, Sssargoth, I changed the name of the city from "Tyranor" to "Tyranor Proper" on the new map -- it's smack in the middle, right where it should be. EDIT: You know, maybe I'll make the names of the cities considerably bigger. I don't think they're big enough (obviously, if you couldn't pick them out, Sssargoth). I'll go ahead and do that on the next edit. Here's the link to the post with the map, if you're interested, Cat. (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5833475&postcount=2178)
Dyne 04-03-05, 10:37 PM	You do that, KB. As long as you add Port Royal and the Isla de Muerta first. :) It's nice to see you, Caterane. I've looked around the COre COliseum a few times, but sadly I've never gotten very involved. Perhaps I'll give it a try sometime. In any case, it looks like the games will start up very soon. I believe the GMs have declared the rules to be officially done. I think Orcy will pop in here soon.
Caterane 04-04-05, 06:43 AM	Wow, that map is really nice! One of our members wanted to create a map of Gladius but since he is gone for half a year now I am not sure if he still works on it LOL After talking to Kingside for a while I become more and more interested in this board. Mass battle, a working economic system, guild wars, these are things I wanted to do in the CoCo but I couldn't come up with a solution to the problems that arose. Mass battles are too time consuming. If you run it one on one (CoCo slang for players posting instead of a fight moderator) it takes an eternity, and letting the pitlord (fight moderator) do the battle would be too much work for him. Many people ask me if they could earn money with Profession X or Craft Y instead of fighting. I would love to tell them "Yup, you can" but that requires a lot of supervision from the GMs who have their hands full already. You know, in the CoCo it is of utmost importance that the gold is evenly divided. That means if someone earns 900 xp by losing 3 fights he must have earned the same amount of money as someone who earned 900 xp by winning one fight. I'll definately make an economic system sooner or more likely later, probably step by step. We also had guilds in the CoCo, although they were purely roleplaying which limited their attractiveness somewhat. Atm we have no guilds but I want to come up with a way to incorporate them into the system; with bonuses and penalties for being in a certain guild (eg +1 attack for members of the Warrior Guild, for example), and who knows, perhaps a way to let them fight each other ;) Let's hope this version is finished soon. @Dyne: you are most welcome to try

Pitlords 04-04-05, 07:05 AM	*sets up some traps* :D *hides* Hey Master of Flames, don't you want to finish your Character (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5842920)? If you do that by wednesday I can pair you up. Edit: oops wrong account
bgt 04-05-05, 04:03 PM	You will start at lvl 3 but with time and xp you can become an epic legend in the City of Gladius. Two questions: One: Must it be at level 3? My illithids kinda ECL 15... Two: Are homebrew presitge classes allowed? I have a mage I could use, but unless I can take levels of snakewalker (link in my sig), it wouldn't really be worth it.

Orcy The Green Wonder 04-05-05, 07:16 PM	Ahem, Orcy would prefer if you posted questions about the rules of another board in that board. The rules are indeed close to being finished last Orcy knew. We shall be having them checked over and then putting them in place. Currently the mass combat rules are not done, so they may have to be added later. Though Orcy has his own way for working mass combat that uses a unit as a single entity rather than having to fight through individually. The mountain top Arena shall be re-opened sometime in the coming weeks when the rules are official. -Orcy the Green Wonder http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/BaddieX51/orcy.gif
Caterane 04-05-05, 08:24 PM	@Orcy: WE ARE THE BORG :D I've written bgt a PM. Nice board here and I hope this arena is being reopened soon. I'll definately check it out. Good luck in your project.
bgt 04-06-05, 06:42 AM	Sorry Orcy. By the way, that's a nice siley you've got there.
Cazic 04-09-05, 08:37 PM	[deleted] please forget this post ever excited.
Dyne 04-16-05, 05:10 PM	D&D vs. Star Wars RPG Test #1: Action! A stormtrooper checks his equipment, making ready for the coming battle. He is not afraid, for fear means nothing to the Empire's shock troops. But preparation can never be a bad thing.
jagggar 04-16-05, 05:44 PM	The fighter inspected the edge of his blade. It had served him well. He prayed to the gods that it would deliver him one more victory against this strange opponent. How far away we starting again? Gunna have to review Orcy's rules real quick. As well as the PHB. Speaking of which, I need a new one. . .
Dyne 04-16-05, 05:48 PM	80 feet (about 24 meters) Initiative = 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75082)
jagggar 04-16-05, 06:08 PM	Initiative (1d20+5=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75084) The fighter draws his bow back, letting an arrow fly at the foriegn warrior. attackroll;damage if hit (1d20+6=12, 1d8+3=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75086) He strides forward, hoping to close the distance. 30 ft. towards the stormtrooper, now appart by 50 ft.
Dyne 04-16-05, 06:14 PM	Hit, but armor reduces the damage to 3 (12 Wound Points left). The arrows flies true, striking the stormtrooper square in the chest, but his armor lessens the impact of the wound. The stormtrooper draws his blaster rifle and lets fly a barrage of blaster fire. Attack1 = 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75088) Damage = 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75089) Attack2 = Automatic Miss (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75090) Damage = N/A
jagggar 04-16-05, 06:26 PM	Very close, it's a 19. The fighter grins, glad he spent the last of his gold on the full-plate. Not only this, but the white-clad warrior hadn't moved. The fighter drops his bow, charging, drawing his sword and raising it above him with both hands. Charge;two-handed damage (1d20+11=25, 1d10+6=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75091)
Dyne 04-16-05, 06:34 PM	5 points of damage (7 WP left). That Fighter may actually win. Although the strange soldier is heavily armored, the sword appears to cause considerable damage. Nevertheless, he takes a step back and opens fire again. Using Multifire (one extra attack, but all attacks take -4 penalty) Attack1 = 9 (not getting very good rolls...) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75094) Damage = N/A Attack2 = 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75095) Damage = N/A Attack3 = 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75096) Damage = N/A Sigh, such crappy rolls....
jagggar 04-16-05, 06:40 PM	Assuming 5-foot step. The fighter moves forward again, putting more force behind his swing this time. PowerAttacking;Damage (1d20+8=20, 1d10+8=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75097) I think it likes me. . .
Dyne 04-16-05, 06:46 PM	6 points of damage (1 WP left). The strike once again penetrates the armor, cutting through to the man inside. The stormtrooper stumbles, badly injured. But the honor of the Empire is more important than his own life, and so he draws a Frag Grenade and drops it to his feet. Suicidal grenade attack (he was probably gonna die anyway). Automatic Hit (it damages everything within 4 meters ('bout 12 ft.), so it's kinda hard to miss). Damage = 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75108) Reflex Save DC 15 for half damage.
jagggar 04-16-05, 06:52 PM	Reflex Save (1d20+2=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75109) Wow it likes me. HP=26 The blast startles the fighter, but he is able to turn aside, taking less damage than another might've. (Umm, he's dead now, right?)
Dyne 04-16-05, 06:56 PM	Wow, the Fighter won. Even against the Frag Grenade, he still won. Huh....
jagggar 04-16-05, 07:02 PM	Yep, looks like. Would've been able to withstand it though. Had 34 HP and you didn't scratch him till then. Not sure if we should, but what would have the battle been like if everything had come up 10s? Probably something for the D&D-ification topic rather than here. Be back in a while, gotta go eat.
turalisj 04-16-05, 07:12 PM	i am still waiting for my character to be approved...grah! i swear, i am going to slice down the first foe that challenges me! (unless it's droga)
jagggar 04-16-05, 07:16 PM	Calm down, the rules haven't even been approved yet.
Dyne 04-16-05, 07:26 PM	Right. Jagggar and I are conducting some tests to see just how compatible Star Wars RPG, D&D, and D20 Modern are.
turalisj 04-16-05, 07:45 PM	:waits: grr....
jagggar 04-16-05, 08:06 PM	Test 2. I'm just gunna call this fighter Bob. Rolling as testfighter2. Initative (1d20+5=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75181)
Dyne 04-16-05, 08:08 PM	D&D vs. Star Wars RPG Test #2: Action! The mercenary strode out into the arena like he owned the place. His technology was far superior to these archaic savages. Surely he couldn't lose. Initiative = 7 (1d20+6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75182) Man, that dice bot hates me.... I'm rolling as "Low-Level Soldier1". How about we forget the links, we could search the users' rolls anyway.
Sssargoth 04-16-05, 08:09 PM	Man, that dice bot hates me.... Join the club... :(
Dyne 04-16-05, 08:13 PM	Join the club... :( I don't believe it has given me a single roll over 10 this day.
jagggar 04-16-05, 08:13 PM	Bob begins the fight the same way his unnamed cousin had. Attack;Damage (1d20+6=7, 1d8+3=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75184) Drat! Bob closes 30 ft.
Dyne 04-16-05, 08:18 PM	The merc laughs as the arrow falls short. He draws his heavy blaster pistol and fires a shot at the fighter. Attack ; Damage = 24 ; 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75185) I believe the Figher now has 18 hp.
jagggar 04-16-05, 08:26 PM	Bob must be related to the previous fighter since he follows suit, dropping his bow and charging. Charge/PowerAtt;damage (1d20+9=20, 1d10+10=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75186) And could I get a link there?
Dyne 04-16-05, 08:33 PM	The merc narrowly dodges the blow with the sword, taking a small cut to the left arm instead of a full wound. He then hops back and fires another shot. (He lost 13 Vitality Points, bring him down to 21) Attack ; Damage = 9 ; 14 (miss) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75187)
jagggar 04-16-05, 08:41 PM	Thanks. Bob steps forward swinging his sword again. attack;damage (1d20+9=15, 1d10+6=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75188) #1900!!!
Dyne 04-16-05, 08:44 PM	The attack barely misses the merc. He continues to step back away from the man with the sword, and he fires two quick shots Rapid Shot (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75189) 1Attack ; Damage = 5 ; 14 (Miss) 2Attack ; Damage = 21 ; 16 I believe the Fighter has 2 hp left.
jagggar 04-16-05, 08:51 PM	Bob grimices from the pain but steps forward attacking again. att/dmg (1d20+9=17, 1d10+6=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75191) fighter @ 2hp
Dyne 04-16-05, 08:57 PM	The merc dodges the attack again, but he looks to be tiring. (8 damage, bringing the Merc down to 13 VP) Rapid Shot2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75194) 1Attack ; Damage = 24 ; 13 2Attack ; Damage = 21 ; 12 I believe that is dead twice over. http://www.gamersquare.com/forum/images/smilies/weapon-enforcer.gif
jagggar 04-16-05, 09:02 PM	:ghosted: K, go back and see if we learned anything from that?
jagggar 04-16-05, 10:17 PM	Round 2 Rematch Initative (1d20+5=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75211)
Dyne 04-16-05, 10:20 PM	Initiative = 18 (1d20+6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75212) The merc fires two quick shots from his heavy blaster. Rapid Shot (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75213) 1Attack ; Damage = 9 ; 22 (Miss) (1d20+4 ; 3d8) 2Attack ; Damage = 22 ; 7 (1d20+4 ; 3d8) Fighter is at 27 hp.
jagggar 04-16-05, 10:26 PM	jagggar gets tired of writing "flavor text". attack;damage (1d20+6=20, 1d8+3=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75214) Bow, move up. What's the AC on your guy again?
Dyne 04-16-05, 10:30 PM	AC 16 23 VP left Rapid Shot (again) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75215) Attack ; Damage = 5 ; 10 (Miss) (1d20+4 ; 3d8) Attack ; Damage = 11 ; 9 (Miss) (1d20+4 ; 3d8)
jagggar 04-16-05, 10:53 PM	Sorry about the delay, attacked my roomie's computer and stole it. charge, full powerattack;damage (1d20+7=14, 1d10+14=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75216) :censored: ! That means no damage, and for the next round his AC's 17.
turalisj 04-16-05, 11:07 PM	*wonders if it is possible to join the fray* just as a test of course. :D
Dyne 04-16-05, 11:34 PM	Perhaps another time turalisj? Maybe the next test. Drops the heavy blaster Whips out a vibroblade Attack ; Damage = 18 ; 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75217) Sorry for the delay. Star Wars is on the tube, and we're eating pizza (Sphendule was right in the Player Character Thread 3 ;) ).
jagggar 04-16-05, 11:48 PM	That was a hit. Fighter @ 18 hp I believe. Yeah, I think we should test something other than just fighters, and I'm not sure how up I am to playing something else right now. PowerAttack-3/+6; Damage (1d20+6=18, 1d10+12=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75219) Sweetness.
Dyne 04-16-05, 11:53 PM	Crap, 5 VP left. I'm getting kinda tired of Fighters as well. Perhaps we could try testing out Jedi? Maybe pair them up against Eldritch Knights or something.
Dyne 04-16-05, 11:54 PM	Attack ; Damage = 11 ; 9 (Miss) The Fighter probably won. EDIT: Wait a minute, I almost forgot about Force Points. :schemes: EDIT2: Nevermind, he still wouldn't hit even if he rolled the highest with that 1d6 for spending a Force Point.
jagggar 04-17-05, 12:10 AM	Heheh. . . powerAtt;Damage (1d20+6=7, 1d10+12=20) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75221) :censored: :censored: MISS
Dyne 04-17-05, 12:14 AM	Vibroblade: Attack ; Damage = 16 ; 6 (Miss) Force Point time: 1d6 = 1 Ahhh, mannn....
jagggar 04-17-05, 12:16 AM	roundwhat? PowerAttack;Damage (1d20+6=7, 1d10+12=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75224) Two critical misses in a row?!?!
Dyne 04-17-05, 12:20 AM	We're both rolling 1's, so it's nothing to be ashamed about.... Vibroblade... come on, natural 20.... Attack ; Damage = 22 ; 6 (17, close enough) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75225) How many hp you got now?
jagggar 04-17-05, 12:25 AM	Fighter hp 12 Ha ha! powerattack;damage (1d20+6=16, 1d10+12=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75226)
Dyne 04-17-05, 12:29 AM	Shoot. I still got 1 WP though! Except I'm Fatigued, and I might be knocked out anyway. Fort Save DC 19 Fort Save = 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=75227) Nope, he's knocked out cold. Pretty close match, though. It looks like Star Wars RPG and D&D are fairly even in power (by the looks of it, though, D&D is actually more powerful in some ways). I want to try out a Starship battle, though. :D
jagggar 04-17-05, 12:35 AM	Not sure about that one. What I've heard is that SWRPG and d20 Future use two entirely different systems there. And I wouldn't jump the gun and say they're equal. I'd say we've shown that the Soldier class is pretty equal. There are other classes to be had.
Dyne 04-17-05, 12:43 AM	Right. It'd be cool, though. That's all I'm saying. :D
Cazic 04-17-05, 12:56 PM	i think you all might want to do a Spellcaster vs Star wars spell caster next or start doing opposites like Wizard vs storm tropper and such. We need it have tests like this to see how things fit.
Frostbite_Ravenheart 04-17-05, 05:14 PM	Hmmm. I must have missed the conversation but...what are you guys trying to do? Mix starwars with dnd? Are you crazy? That would never work. A couple of militia man with heavy guns would tear apart a fighter. Not that i'll complain though since I never use any straight fighters :). Once I post my characters...I'd like to dual my thri-keen psionic warrior/ranger/ceromancer with an equal level equivilent of the starwars soldier. That would be a fun match ;). -Frosty
jagggar 04-17-05, 05:33 PM	Of course we're crazy. It is in the spirit of the Guildhouse however, to not exclude stuff. Actually, Fighter's been winning a couple of times. Hmm. . . That's probably what we really need, to run these things against actual D&D characters that are a bit more than just straight out of the DMG. Orcy, would you mind if we threw a couple of more matches like this with people's characters who haven't been approved yet while we're waiting on the rules? (With a note that no characters will get XP from this.)
Cazic 04-17-05, 05:45 PM	You can use my PC if you want. DF said everything looked good. You could just call him Cazic-copy or something.
Dyne 04-17-05, 05:48 PM	In order to do that, we'd have to create some Star Wars RPG characters (instead of using pre-generated ones), and that would take some time.
Cazic 04-17-05, 05:59 PM	You could just throw together some generic PCs.
Dyne 04-17-05, 06:01 PM	Then they wouldn't be the same as your D&D characters, so it would be pointless. I'm going to make a Soldier/Bounty Hunter type character, along with a Jedi. We'll see how they fair against other characters.
jagggar 04-17-05, 08:07 PM	We, Dyne and I, are looking for people to run D&D characters against d20 Modern and Star Wars RPG characters. Yes we are crazy.
turalisj 04-17-05, 08:24 PM	We, Dyne and I, are looking for people to run D&D characters against d20 Modern and Star Wars RPG characters. Yes we are crazy. i'll be glad to tackle a stormtrooper or mybe a hutt.

liquid nitro penguin 04-20-05, 08:01 AM	bgt tells me that i need to repost my charecter, is this true and where do i post him? :allalone: thanks! :)
Cazic 04-20-05, 08:27 AM	Player Character Thread 3 (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=360911&page=9&pp=30). Just post it there.
gabrion 05-01-05, 04:42 AM	Hey Orcy, I know the Arena isn't going right now, but I have a rules question. I know the rules say that no buff spells may be cast before combat, but how does this work if someone uses the persistent spell? Doesn't such a rule defeat the purpose of the feat? Personally, I think a distinction should be made between "passive buffs" and "active buffs." That is to say, if a spell would normally be active on a character for all or most of a day (if the duration is hour/lvl or it is persistent), then it should be considered passive. If it must be cast at the time of a fight in order for it to be effective, then it could be called an active buff. In order to keep people from using active buffs before combat, you could make a rule that all combatants must check in at the Arena 4 hours before their fight, and they may not use magic until the fight begins. This would keep them from using even 10 min/lvl spells, since those would not normally be passive buffs. My more general point is that some buffs would be unfair for a character to enter combat with them on, because that wouldn't be normal, but some would be active on the caster at all times anyway, so it seems unfair to actually decrease the effectiveness of their character by allowing no buffs before combat. Let me know how crazy you think I am. :P
Orcy The Green Wonder 05-01-05, 02:39 PM	You do bring up a valid point. Orcy isn't too sure about going through all possible books and making a list of spells people can and cannot use before a battle. That is why Orcy made sure to say no buff spells may be in effect, at least one of the reasons. Orcy feels it keeps it a bit more fair in this way than it would otherwise. Orcy will have to think about this, but it is likely Orcy won't be allowing spells before a battle. No body is forced into a battle, unless they commit a crime and the court decides to sentence them to combat instead of some other form of punishment. Anyway, Orcy will think more on the subject later when he has a bit more time (last week of classes before finals and all).
Solmund 05-01-05, 03:31 PM	when are the wars going to start?

Anyway, Orcy will think more on the subject later when he has a bit more time (last week of classes before finals and all). Well thanks for considering my concerns. I just thought I would add that something like what I proposed would nto require that you go through every book and see which spell could be used. That would take too much time and wouldn'tbe too productive. I think a better way of handling it would be as I said, to have everyone "check in" by a certain time and not let people cast spells from that point forward. 4 hours is good since it prevents all spells with duration shorter than hour/lvl. So all you would have to do is ask each contestant if they had some "passive" buffs that were cast earlier in the day, and check those to make sure they are ok. Sometimes checking these would take a bit of work, but it really seems strange to remove the power of certain classes or feats for the sake of simplicity in the arena. It seems like a "fair fight" would be one where neither side specifically prepared for it. It should, in many ways, mimic an encounter that would happen if people got in a fight while travelling along the road. If this is the case, then why should a mage who normally has mage armor cast all day long be forced to diminish his power before entering the arena? Should fighters have to wait until the battle begins to don their armor? I know that is an unfair comparison, but I just wanted to make the point clear. Thanks for taking this issue into consideration, and good luck with those finals!
Orcy The Green Wonder 05-01-05, 05:15 PM	The problem with that line of thinking is that some spells that last that amount of time may be more imbalancing than others. This would pose a big problem. If someone wants to take a slot from their spells and dedicate it to always being a certain thing that lasts all day (such as mage armor) then they can ask about it for the arena. So far, Orcy hasn't seen anybody wishing to do that. Of course, Orcy hasnt seen all the characters yet, he hasnt had the time. But if you want to dedicate a spell slot to casting a spell every day, Orcy can take a look at it (since you seem to be implying that you took persistant spell and feel that you don't have a use for it). The power of a mage is not in it's ability to buff itself, but rather it's ability to harm it's enemy. Mostly at least. Some people use spells simply for buffs. Orcy does not see that any of his rules have weakened the power of any class. He has recieved no other complains except from one other person (who yells at Orcy a lot :P). If it is a problem, then Orcy would like to hear from others about it if they feel the same way. Edit: Solmund, the arena will be re-oppened when the games begin. Orcy has posted about this on the meta-thread.
gabrion 05-02-05, 01:44 AM	Well as of right now I have one character and he doesn't have the feat. I'm making another character though and have considered giving him the feat. If you would rather not deal with any of this, that's fine with me and we can just let everyone know that that particular feat is no longer useful, but I tought I should bring it up at the arena before we just write off the feat. If no one else has had a problem with the rules of the arena, it's pretty obvious then that you didn't have any characters fighting who based their concept on all day buffs. I just thought it would be a good rule for you to conider.
Orcy The Green Wonder 05-02-05, 01:50 AM	Orcy will have to consider it. He isnt dead set either way just yet. Though the idea of all day buffs (without the money requirement of items and such) is something Orcy hasn't dealt with in a while. So once he has had a chance to think it over, Orcy will get back to you.
NightScreamer20 05-02-05, 02:45 AM	I just see that mostly in mage-duels and the such, spellcasters and opponents aren't allowed to buff themselves before a match-up, with the exception of items they are using. I'd opt so this wouldn't be allowed in Mage Duels, however Anything-Goes duels, it could be allowed. Either way, I see it as effectively having a magic item without paying for it, which is unbalanced of course. I mean you could have invisibility, increased armor, and combat ability before the duel even started and keep it throughout the whole session. That is where I believe the problem lies.
gabrion 05-02-05, 04:08 AM	@nightscreamer, glad to see other opinions on the subject. You think bufing is like having magic items you don't pay for? Well it is the class ability of a spellcaster. Magic in general is like items for "free." It hink the issue here is more about being able to use the abilities of a character. If you can think of some way a fighter is at a disadavntage in the arena, I would be more understanding, but as it is now, the all day buff casters are the only ones giving up a legitimate part of their character. @Orcy-I don't know how you feel about the CoCo, but they do have a way of handling this. Can I cast buff spells, drink potions, etc, before the beginning of a match? You may enter the arena with effects running that have a duration of 16 hours or more, which we call Pre-Buffs. Pre-Buffs do count against your spell slots or special ability uses that are available for the day (if they're spells, you have to prepare the given spell and gray it out or strikethrough on your character sheet), but they do not count against your per-fight 1/3 limit of spells. Going with the example of the level 8 Wizard above; if he used a Rod of Lesser Extend Spell, he could put up an Extended Mage Armor before his fight (16 hours of duration exactly). He would not be able to cast Mage Armor again during the fight, but he would still have all 11 of his per-fight spell levels left for the fight. Similarly, he could still use another charge of his Rod of Lesser Extend on another spell (perhaps Invisibility) in the fight itself. Some spells that also qualify as prebuff don't have a duration measured in hours or days. "Until discharged" is a valid prebuff as are some "instantaneous" spells with persistant effects. And of course all "permanent" spells. You may not hold the charge of a touch spell, nor can you keep up concentration long enough to use it as a prebuff. Pre-Buffs with a duration of "permanent" must also be listed as part of your equipment, and do not even count against your spell slots. Spell-storing items are considered to be Pre-Buffs which you list in the equipment section aswell as in the Pre-Buff section (PC's may pay for spellcasting services to store spells into spell-storing items; see NPC Services for more information). Psionic characters may pre-buff with their psionic focus, if they have a Concentration skill of at least +0 (assumed to take 20 on the check). Basically you can pre-buff if the spell last for 16 hours or more, but casters can't use all of their spells in combat. I don't know hwo you feel about that, but I just though I would post a comparison.
Orcy The Green Wonder 05-02-05, 12:36 PM	Once again... Orcy will think about this. He has not tried to put anybody at a disadvantage in the arena, and the mages that have fought here tend to do pretty well for themselves if Orcy remembers correctly. A fighter cannot begin combat with their weapon drawn, a slight problem but not a big one. But again, Orcy will think this over, and will have a decision made before the arena is opened.
bgt 05-02-05, 08:47 PM	Hi Orcy. My charachter was posted on the second to last charachter thread and was approved; do I have to post him again on the newest charachter thread and seek approval again, or am I good where I am? Good luck with those finals!
Orcy The Green Wonder 05-02-05, 09:30 PM	Hi Orcy. My charachter was posted on the second to last charachter thread and was approved; do I have to post him again on the newest charachter thread and seek approval again, or am I good where I am? Good luck with those finals! Just send a link with your character to Demonfey and he will put it in the first post on the newest thread. Of course, he will need to be approved again. You just don't have to re-write the entire character.
Rurik "The Silent" 05-15-05, 01:15 AM	hey orcy, ive got nothing at all against you or anything, first and foremost. really ive just got a question; personally i wonder why you talk in the third person. Is that just a writing style you prefer or is there meaning behind it? i hope i dont offend you i was just curious. I think its neat though. When ever i see your avatar i alwasy thinks its cool. When i hear the Name orcy it makes me imediately think of a giant tough Green Dijinni. Great image, so well done. i was just curous. did not mean to offend at all.
Orcy The Green Wonder 05-15-05, 02:46 AM	Well Rurik, the reason Orcy speaks the way he does is fairly simple. When he began here at the boards he posted a few things in this way. After a while of Orcy talking this way, Orcy just decided to keep with it. Since then Orcy has been speaking in the way he does. He supposes it is something that just stuck after a while. It also tends to throw people off and make them believe Orcy isnt too smart.
Tenzhi 05-15-05, 03:09 AM	It also tends to throw people off and make them believe Orcy isnt too smart. Mostly only new people or those who really haven't been paying attention. Tenzhi's only problem with Orcy's curious manner of speech is that the Elf-Bane tends to subconsciously pick up on such things and thus it sometimes seems like He is mocking the Green Wonder.
Rurik "The Silent" 05-15-05, 02:54 PM	that seems logical enough orcy thx for answering my pointless question. Sry for the tangent on the thread.
premier666 05-24-05, 06:49 PM	Wow, aparently someone cast sleep on the guild house.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-10-05, 12:53 AM	EDIT: Orcy needs to start a new thread, this will be pruned it seems. So look for that instead...
