Yea, I kinda just wanted to go into detail with events and character growth over anything else. I'm sure it won't be as long as yours Dmitri. ;-)
Ah, lol, well it isn't really a contest. I doubt everyone actually enjoys reading my short stories of posts all the time. One thing I am particularly curious about is how everyone would respond to the fact that Dmitri got hitched.
Though to give everyone fair warning, Lysandra is rather easy to cross, especially if you enjoy the church of Sarenrae. Dmitri's proper corruption of her during her time as a devout to Sarenrae pretty much completely twisted her views on the faith, making them seem hypocritical when they chastise L
That'll about do it!
Oh and ftr, I read all of your stuff Dmitri.
I enjoy all your posts Dimitri. They give me soemthing to build on when I post .
Good to know I help out with that sort of thing, Brek :D and thanks for reading it all, Apollo. Also Apollo you're within earshot to hear most of what I say, but I figure you walk in on the last leg of the story. I think I'm going to take a moment to edit Dmitri's profile and put in the new health, saves, and whatnot.
I'm also going to find a profile picture for Lyssandra, if they have the right kind of one, but I'll likely just post for her in my own thing.
We have an absolutely unquestionable winner.
Really D? The balcony's on the floor above and the tavern's on the floor, so I thought we were on different floors and opposite ends of the building, otherwise I'd have not purposely stated he was oblivious to Kori and seeing as you're right next to her. :p
I played it out as though Kori walked in, caused a stir, saw you and was about to walk over, and then got interrupted by me and then we took the conversation to the railing.
I always thought that the second floor was open-air too with railing all over it. Regardless, it'd be a colossal waste for you to not have heard a word of all that.
We gonna say your conversation moved directly above me? The main interesting point here is that Koi just walked in and the only entrance is on the ground floor, so we could just say you're just around the corner by the stairwell, making it possible to overhear such conversation!
That works just fine, I imagine.
Alright, cool. If I'm right by you, I'll overhear things haha.
Just as another thing edgewise, but, Je'grik, you and Brek can feel free to drop in on this situation at just about any time, you know.
I expected her to punch you, honestly.
That's what she did the first time he touched her.
There are actually four entrances, I think, to the Battle Market. And yes, it's open-air all the way to the top.
The first time Dmitri met Kori over a year back, she rolled her first attack roll of the campaign, and made a critical, which she confirmed. I think, if I remember correctly, I was walking around the area with only 3 health, and it's been the closest to dead anything besides himself has made him.
The only time Dmitri was closer to death than that, was when he flayed his own body to earn his Antipaladinhood, which required that he bring himself down to -9 hp and remain conscious. Three cheers for diehard, it was totally worth it.
lol You guys are crazy...love you guys.
Oh yeah sorry about the masterworked armor thing. I'm getting craft wonderous item and magic weapon and armor somewhere along the line if it helps.
Lein would we have time for crafting?
Made my semi-long post and included as much info as I think one in Brek's position would have gotten and done.
Kori would have walked straight in to the center of the arena. I figured that there were no takers, so she went straight to the bar, and that's where Dmitri found her. But whatever, doesn't matter much to me, as long as it took place in the battle market.
And this is the part where me and Kori try to kill each other in good fun. Also, Lein, Dmitri has Cure light wounds prepared. He'll actually cast it before the fight to alleviate the damage, if Kori accepts.
Does Kori get to cast one spell before the fight too?
Well, I was just doing it to cure my wounds. I wouldn't imagine an enhancement spell would be okay, but it couldn't really hurt. All's good, but I wouldn't really be okay with enlarge person, lol.
Was it that transparent? It's her new favorite toy, a gift from her patron.
One cursory glance at the spell sheet and I pretty much knew it. However you're not the only one that got a new pair of tricks, lol.
Let's be reasonable and say that the first one to get under half ends the fight with no real winner. Nothing is stopping you from casting it if you win initiative though. Speaking of which, let's roll that here.
Half is a tough call, considering your half is close to my full regular.
and she hasn't quite agreed yet.
EDIT: Speaking, is your profile updated, because it still has your 4th lvl stats. So I don't know fully what I'm dealing with.
Oh! S&$!! Right, my apologies. I'll update it immediately. It's just a copy and paste at the moment, so it won't take but a moment.
*edit* It's done.
I'll be able to reply early tomorrow morning, which translates to "In about 6 hours." since my class is at 8:00. It's about 2:00 right now, so I'm going to crash. Here's hoping it's a good post ;)
Hey, can I just say something? cure light wounds is not on the antipaladin spell list...
Your spell list can be found Here.
Also, Brek, yeah there should be further time for crafting and downtime and such.
Maybe I ahould consider craft wands too.
At the rate these two tear into each other.
*facepalm*
Just a quickie - Are we assuming we always miraculously bump into each other? It seems somewhat unrealistic and I know we're in an open space, but it's a marketplace which is loud and busy, so not everyone would hear everything going on.
That's why I roleplay as I do, because I imagine everything to be happening as it would in real life. In a busy atmosphere it's hard to hear much of what goes on, but I'll get something up in response to Dmitri for you guys later, if you'd like?
I read both Dmitri and Kori's posts but didn't once see their location listed, so therefore didn't know Kori was at the bar and with Dmitri mentioning balcony, I assumed he was on the floor above where the balcony was when we were fighting Gnoll's. It's funny that all of us imagined everything to happen completely differently! :p

Oh, well, s!%+. Guess I'll just take something that does a fear effect then. Thanks Lein :D
I'll post something today after I get back home.
Color me excited for this. My prepared spell for the day is Doom because it's awesome in contingent with my fear aura.
What do you think of all this Lein?
We're Doomed? :p
Just set your health total back to 63, then :D
Apollo, it's less that it's realistic for you all to be miraculously bumping into each other, and it's perfectly fine for you folks to be roleplaying your own thing somewhere, but more that it just makes good story when you have something interesting to do with the other players.
Okay, actually, I have a thing.
For this combat (as well as every other fight atop the Battle Market stage), we'll be using the Performance Combat Rules, so please read up on them before you start fighting.
Additionally, you can make an Intimidate check or a Sense Motive check instead of an initiative check.
Also, the Battle Market stage is just something like 20ft. across (making it 16 squares), and anyone that gets forced off of the stage loses. There will be a Battle Market cleric on hand to heal Dmitri of his damage, to make it a little bit more fair. The battle is going to bloodied, which means Dmitri below 36 hit points and Kori below 28 hit points.
Ok. Brek's selling popcorn....
Yea, I get that. I was headed upstairs anyway, so would have bumped into them by the stairs/other entrance at around lunch if they were still there then, but now other activities are taking place! :)
Kinda thinking it'd be fun for us all to take part in these battles. Bull rush would be winning!
Some other information about the Performance Combat:
We're dealing with a Large crowd, and a base starting attitude of Indifferent for each combatant, which is a starting DC on the combat performance checks of DC 13, increasing to 18 or 23 based on the current attitude the crowd has about you.
We'll measure the stage just in squares. The horizontal line will be A,B,C, and D, whereas the vertical are 1,2,3, and 4. Dmitri will start in B2 and Kori will start in C3. They're adjacent, yeah, but vertically so. There is, of course, only so much room for movement.
Combat performance checks are a Charisma check modified by a number based off of your BaB. Kori's bonus is +3, thus, and Dmitri's is +5.
If that's the case, then I wouldn't mind using my original check plus my Intimidation, for my initiative.
So that would make my Initiative a 25.
This is a pretty small arena, so getting knocked off would be pretty bad, if we actually planned on knocking each other off. No, this is probably going to be a lot bloodier than just falling off.
What original check? I don't see any initiative rolls, so please make one in gameplay, as should Kori.
I actually suggested we should make one in Discussion. I actually got a 12. I'll roll one in gameplay though.
Also, refusing that cleric's help means that you're at 63/71, but it doesn't mean that you lose at a lower level of health - you still lose when you're bloodied at 35 or lower hit points.
When everyone appears ready and initiative has been rolled I'll kick off the fight with a post.
It just donned on me that Je'grik's last post has been the longest thing that character of his has posted in a long, long time. That makes me happy P:
From what I've gathered Kori can't usually post very often until the later hours of my day, which translates to roughly about 9:00 or 8:00, depending on circumstances. That's a good thing since I can finish my typing for this project with the occasional half-hourly glance at this thing.
That said, I've got some questions about Kori's spell resistance.
How does it work in regards to Touch of Corruption, Channeled energy, and getting hit by the after effects of blood blaze?
I'm about 90% certain that it doesn't work at all with regards to non-spell abilities.
That said, channeling negative energy is going to be a patently bad idea in this arena, unless you want to maim and/or kill some hapless bystanders and go under arrest for harming hapless bystanders.
2d6 damage is probably going to kill a civilian or 12. If this were to the death, I wouldn't be against it but this is harmless sparring, which is exactly why I won't do such a thing P:
That said, Touch of corruption for days. I'm excited about it, but I've that pervading feeling that I'm going to lose in good graces. We'll be killing each other at what I'm pretty sure will be the same rate, honestly, but my chances likely aren't that great haha.
The last time I fought against another player, it was some non-lethal damage monk that knocked out m 8th level barbarian in 2 turns with some stupid stupid feat line-up. I have no idea what it was, but it couldn't have been first party. That said, I'm going to enjoy this even more than that even if I do lose, if only because the story of this campaign is rather rich~
So this fight got intense, and both of us have rolled criticals. I should point out that Blood blaze is my only spell for the day, so, as far as godly aid is concerned, I'm spent... This may end up being a longer fight than I thought it would, as I've laid down some decent countermeasures, and touching Kori isn't that difficult when we're both in the grappled state.
It's about to become a ground game, though... Blood blaze will last 4 rounds.
I could have sworn I said blood blaze, but now I remember mentioning that the doom effect would go with my fear aura. My apologies Lein. Think you'd be okay with me maintaining Blood blaze as my choice, however? I usually don't slip up like that.
**Edit** Slipped up TWICE actually. Could have also sworn blood blaze was a spell that only required an action. So ignore that top message entirely. At the very least, I took first blood, thankfully, and crit' on the performance check.
IF you had prepared blood blazeit would last one round. Level means caster level, and yours is first. I suppose I'm okay with you preparing it anyway, though.
Also, I pointed this out in gameplay, you can't attack and cast a spell in the same round.
Also, your attack rolls as Oz are too high. TWF still imposes a -2 penalty to attack rolls when wielding two weapons, so your attack rolls should be +4 and +3, respectively.
I think I'm scatterbrained from how intense this fight is getting o.o and it's only round 1. I'll edit that part on Oz's as well as soon as I edit the one here.
**Edit*
Edited my page as well, and made it Doom, as I originally said it had been. One of the things that threw me off is that I never changed it, as it still has cure light wounds prepared, which isn't even a spell. I'm still getting used to the fact that I actually have spells...
So my caster level is just 1? Ouch.
If that intimidate check doesn't get this crowd moving, I'm about to become a serial killer at the drop of a hat. I'll gladly ignore that combat performance check if it gets them to listen to me and Get the hell away
