Travock starts with sword and shield Sidios with sword and javelin. Travock delays so he moves after Sidios if necessary

Archibald will move out south, ready a charge on the first enemy spotted, and make a perception check.

Bigby will move out west stealthily, ready a throwing dagger at the first enemy spotted, and make a perception check.

Archibald and Bigby have switched places on your map.

Not sure what happens when Travock moves out from cover and into Archibald's LOS 8 squares away. Does he charge when/if he comes into range?

Map actually looks like this, I swapped Archie and Bigby: IMAGE(http://www.identicalsoftware.com/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=Small Arena;a=Name,M,8,23,Travock;b=Name,M,7,23,7,26,Sidios;c=Name,M,10,26,Bigby;d=Name,M,16,25,Archibald)

Also, Bigby threw a dagger at Sidios (Archie could not charge) which missed, so no damage done to Sidios. Tactics please.

arealcoolcat
To answer your question: Archie will charge if and when his ready is triggered, thus whenever an opponent comes within his 5 square charge range.

Tactics
This round finish Sidios movement like this and quarry Bigby then ready a twin strike after Travock attacked Bigby. Travock will move around to flank Bigby and attack with Warlord's Favor (use predatory eye on this attack). He will probably get charged by Archi but continue as planned. If Bigby is still standing Travock will use Commander's Strike to grant Sidios another attack with the bonus from Warlord's Favor. If this brings Bigby down but not death Sidios uses an AP for a CDG.

After Bigby is down try to get Sidios in a flanking position around Archi with Travock. Sidios quarry's Archi and attacks with two-fanged strike travock uses Commander's strike or white raven tactics to shift Sidios in flanking position if needed. When flanking position is established Travock AP for another commander's strike. Continue with Twin Strike/Commander's Strike till Archi is dead.

Use Inspiring Word when either Sidios or Travock gets bloodied but in the case of Sidios wait till he has activated his longtooth shifting which he will do as soon as he gets bloodied. Use second wind when bloodied and no Inspiring Words remain.

Tactics
Thanks to whoever picks this up!

First round: Bigby and Archibald will try to set up flanking against Travock drawing the least amount of opportunity attacks possible, but I would prefer Archibald to take one over Bigby. Bigby will use Torturous Strike with Predatory Eye once in flanking position. Archibald will use Wolf-Pack Tactics to set up flanking or Viper's Strike if unneeded.

Subsequent rounds: Bigby will draw a dagger continue with Riposte Strikes against Travock until he is down. Archibald will use Hammer and Anvil against Travock if he is not bloodied or healed last round.

Rounds after Travock is downed: Bigby will continue with Riposte Strikes against Sidios, shifting toward Archibald after each attack. Archibald will use Inspiring Word if either character has lost more than 10hp, priority to Bigby. Archibald will coup de grace Travock with Viper's Strikes.

Once Travock is dead: Bigby will switch to Piercing Strikes. Archibald will move into flanking drawing opportunity attacks if needed and use Viper's Strikes. Inspiring Word any time a character loses more than 10hp. Second Wind if bloodied.

If Bigby falls: Archibald will Inspiring Word to bring him back. Archibald will use Second Wind if he's taken more than 10 damage. Bigby will use Second Wind on his next turn and shift into a corner if possible. If Bigby dies or Archibald is unable to Inspiring Word any long, continue with Viper's Strikes against Travock until he is down then Sidios until match ends.

If Archibald falls: Bigby will continue with Riposte Strikes against Sidios until he is down then switch to Travock. Try to avoid being flanked. Second Wind if bloodied.


Notes: Bigby will use his short sword for encounter power and his dagger for all at-wills this match. Inspiring Word priority goes to Bigby. If unable to use Predatory Eye first round, use it the first chance available. Don't use Second Wind until Travock is down.

Alright, apparently I'll be taking over this fight in post's place. If you guys want to finish it with tactics we can do that, otherwise we'll just ignore those tactics (for now, at least) and continue with a PbP fight. Up to you guys.

Since I still need to finish my turn here it is:

This round finish Sidios movement like this and quarry Bigby then ready a twin strike after Travock attacked Bigby. Travock will move around to flank Bigby and attack with Warlord's Favor (use predatory eye on this attack). He will probably get charged by Archi but continue as planned. If Bigby is still standing Travock will use an AP for Commander's Strike to grant Sidios another attack with the bonus from Warlord's Favor. If this brings Bigby down but not death Sidios uses an AP for a CDG.

Alright, give me one moment, I need to scroll through the thread and figure out what's already happened...

Edit: Heh, looks like a whole lot of nothing happened. I'll have to make a new entry in the roller for the fight, however. My roller will just start with round 1, with Sidios being first in initiative (the rest of the characters will continue in normal order).

Sidios and Travock try to surround Bigby, but before Travock can get into position, he's charged by Archibald. The attack misses, but now Travock has an enemy warlord blocking his path. Move, Quarry, and readied attack from Sidios, partial move from Travock.

A little gamble here I just hope it pays off.

Travock will continue moving to the 3rd point and from there charge Bigby. After the charge Travock spents an action point for Warlords Favor which triggers Travock readied action. The movement will provoke from Archi.

Archibald swings at Travock as he tries to slip by, and manages to get a solid hit, bloodying the warlord. Critical!

Travock takes 12 damage and is at 12/24 HP. Would you still like to use Predatory Eye for the attack?

Ignore the 1d6's on the damage rolls, they were from previous versions of this round's actions.

Travock shouts an inspiring word at himself, and is invigorated by the technique, and no longer bloodied. He then charges at Bigby, then in a rush of energy he also swings with a Warlord's Favor, but both attacks miss. Sidios then uses a Twin Strike on the rogue. Both attacks hit, and Bigby is bloodied.

Archie
Bigby takes 20 damage and is at 4/24 HP.

Archie
Bigby will shift south, use his Second Wind, and action point (and heal 3 hit points from Archibald's Inspiring Presence!) to ready a Torturous Strike with his large dagger and use Predatory Eye when Archibald is in flanking.

Archibald will move to flank Travock, safely avoiding opportunity attacks and triggering Bigby's readied attack, then use Inspiring Word on Bigby. Archibald will then use Viper's Strike on Travock (if he falls to Bigby's attack, it'll be for a coup de grace) provoking an opportunity attack from Bigby if he shifts next turn.

Bigby shifts south and uses a Second Wind, uses his Predatory Eye, then spends an action point to ready a Torturous Strike. Archibald moves around to flank with Bigby, and Bigby strikes at Travock, downing the enemy warlord. Archibald uses an inspiring word on Bigby, then hits Travock with his own attack, killing him.
