Match 4- Orion vs Ulthor

[Watcher Uatu]

On one side of the map we have a strange beast with a man inside of it, going up against, a man of great magical prowess. Who will move on to the semifinals, Orion or Ulthor? The terrain here appears to have been ripped from a war torn city as two metal barricade that used to be buildings jut from the landscape. Will they be a facter in the fight? We will see.
Orion vs Ulthor Map

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Initial round of prebuff

GM:

Haste and burrow 25' straight down.

I now have 70' normal movement & flight, 40' burrow.

[Orion the Smooth]

Pre-Buff Round

GM Only:

First Spell: Time Stop
Time Stop Extra Rounds Gained: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Round 1 Time Stop: True Seeing (From Staff), put Staff away.

[Orion the Smooth]

Double-checked Initiative.

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Round 1

Orion seems to disappear completely...of course so did his opponent. Hide and Seek anyone?

GM Only:

Activate Wings of Flying, moving ten feet east and 20 feet up.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (6) + 53 = 59

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 1

Let the games begin

GM:

I burrow 35' forward.
I am now centered 25' under H7
I UMD a Mind Blank scroll

I have non-magical tremorsense that currently covers the entire map if your touching the ground.

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 2

And...nothing happens?

You are not getting a reading from Tremorsense.

GM Only:

Cast Heroism, Greater. Fly to five feet above the ground, and move to L8.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (5) + 53 = 58

[Ulthor the Cursed]

All remains tranquil.

GM:

Evolution Surge, Greater:
I give myself the blindsense and energy attack: acid evolutions.

I ready a scroll of disjunction

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 3

Maybe the Arena is empty?

GM:

Fly to L2, staying five feet above the ground. Peek around the corner, trying to find my opponent, all very stealthily.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 48 ⇒ (13) + 48 = 61

Perception Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

[Watcher Uatu]

This is going to be interesting. Carry on gentlemen. :)

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 4

GM:

I move upwards 15', placing myself 10' below ground, centered on G7.

I cast greater invisibility

Next round things start to happen.

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 4

Did a round get skipped?

Those watching at home begin to grow restless...

GM:

Move to H1, staying 5 ft above ground. If I saw him burrow and haven't heard him come back out, then I am going to stay put here and be as stealthy as possible.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (18) + 53 = 71

[Ulthor the Cursed]

I numbered my last round incorrectly. I am after you, not before

Round 4, for real this time.

GM:

I burrow up 10', prorating my movement, this leaves me 50' available.

I fly up 30': my blindsense now covers the entire map. My blindsense is EX, not magical.

I am holding a scroll of disjunction

Stealth: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (5) + 33 = 38

IF Orien sensed THEN UMD my scroll adjacent to his location ELSE

GM:

move to center myself on L2 elevation 55'

[Orion the Smooth]

Depending on what sense you are using, you may or may not see me. Should you see me, if the spell allows SR to block it, then you will need to roll for SR. I also can identify any spell cast on me on a one, so you can go ahead and let me know which spell it is.

[Ulthor the Cursed]

I am using Blindsense(Ex)

We can both auto pass spellcraft, no reason for either of us to hide casting the other can see.

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Orien, you have just been hit with a Disjunction spell.

My Blindsense picked you up as I was moving. The first option on my IF statement took effect. DC is 22.

[Orion the Smooth]

Alright. Some Will Saves coming up. I assume you are out of the 40-foot radius?

Belt: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Boots: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
Bag: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33
Hat: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
In-Hand: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Neck: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
Ring: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
Robe: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
Cloak: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

Quick Question for the GM before I do my round: Does the Disjunction need to dispelled off each item individually or do I make a single Dispel Magic against myself for the effect?

[Watcher Uatu]

Final answer:Individually

Edit:I wrote final answer because I changed the original answer to "standby" because I was checking the book.

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 5

Orion lands on the ground from where he was floating, all but five feet above it, on both feet. "I see you have a very nice trick. But did you take a close look at the size of the arena? And with your size?" Orion shouts to his opponent, who is somewhere in the arena. He then raises a rod into the air, flicks it, and a wave of nullifying magic sweeps through the arena for all those who are in the air. A twist of his hands and a sweep of his wrist, and Orion's form blurs and vanishes from sight.

Disjunction centered at 40 ft above the ground at H6. This will miss me, as you will have last seen me at H1. This disjunction is followed by a Time Stop. The DC on the Disjunction is 31.

Time Stop: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

GM:

Spells cast during Time Stop are Fly, Mind Blank, and Greater Invisibility. Depending on where he is at after the Disjunction, will depend on where I end up for the three movements I get. If he is one side of the arena, I will go to the other. If he is in the center, I will go ahead and set up at F2, swapping my rod of quicken for the staff of divination in the bag of holding during that time.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 66 ⇒ (7) + 66 = 73

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 5

The huge form of Ulthor appears 50' in the air. Upon appearing, he silently traces an arcane symbol in the air, folds his wings, and dives into the ground.

I cast haste and am now underground

If you are on the ground, my tremorsense is still active.

I'll have to roll my item saves after I get to work. It is a very long list

Wow

I really expected to roll at least a few 1s

Question on Disjunction

Disjunction wrote:

All magical effects and magic items within the radius of the spell, except for those that you carry or touch, are disjoined.

Do we really need to hide from our own disjunctions?

[Orion the Smooth]

Ah, I missed that line. Nevermind then!

Round 6

And the arena is silent once again.

GM:

Unsure if the tremorsense picks me up where I am standing on top of F2. Will let you make that call.

Casting Dispel Magic on my belt to remove the Disjunction.

Dispel Check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

Let me know if that succeeds. Add three to my stealth check if it does.

For my move action, I step off of F2, moving to F3.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 46 ⇒ (19) + 46 = 65

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 6

GM:

Evolution Surge, Greater: blindsense + energy attack: acid.

I remain 10' underground, centered on H7.

I don't have timestop, it take me somewhat longer to recover from debuffs.

[Orion the Smooth]

Scroll of Disjunction...created by a Sorcerer or a Wizard, caster level of 13, correct? Need to double-check to see if my action worked.

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Nothing fancy: CL 17, minimum for a wizard to cast.

I was aiming more for stripping buffs than gear.

[Orion the Smooth]

I got you. Alright, that determines what my action this round will be.

A tumbleweed blows through the arena. Seriously, that's all that's happening out there.

GM:

Fly to A7, keep elevation the same, Since the Dispel Check worked. Cast True Seeing again from my Staff.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 49 ⇒ (14) + 49 = 63

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 7

Change of tactics: a smart caster would ready either disjunction or dispel magic at this point.

Using spring attack:
. I emerge from the ground, no invisibility
. I have blindsense 30', no board edge is more than 25' from my position

IF Orion 15' to 20' reach I will hit with axe
ELSE IF Orion 5' to 10' I bite
ELSE IF Orion outside reach move 5' closer and attack with axe

After attacking or if unable to sense orion I resubmerge.

I updated the map to show my point of emergence.

[Orion the Smooth]

I assume you are on the ground when you pop out and your if statement goes off? And how tall are you?

EDIT: Even if you are a 15x15x15 cube, you would not see Orion at the point you just emerged. Just ran Pythagorean's theorem to figure it out.

[Ulthor the Cursed]

The final part holds, I'll go back underground if I don't sense you and ready my next set of actions

10' tall, I'm quad, not biped

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 8

And nothing continues to happen.

GM:

Fly to A1, 55 ft up. Cast Heroism, Greater.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (18) + 33 = 51

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 8

GM:

Cast True Sight

Only exposed items need rolls. If the item is in a backpack, for example it would be safe. The same goes for you to Orion so if you rolled low on an item that was not exposed then you should still have it.

Yes you do. It is no different than dropping a fireball in your own square.

** spoiler omitted **

Stealth Check: 1d20+49

Orion:

Put the actual elevation. It saves me the trouble of having to go back and look for it. :)

Are you still only 5 feet up?

[Watcher Uatu]

Pause the game for a moment.

[Orion the Smooth]

GM:

Elevation was at 40 ft at that instance. Current Elevation: 55 ft, at A1. I also only rolled for things on my person, and the bag that was holding things.

[Watcher Uatu]

The game is now in play again.

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 9

So, how about them local weather conditions?

GM:

Put away Staff of Divination, pull out Rod of Quickening, Greater.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 73 ⇒ (4) + 73 = 77

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 9

Hot, muggy and raining off and on 8(

GM:

UMD See Through Stone and move to 2' below the surface.

Do I see Orion?

The ground will ripple slightly in the center of the map.

I am using divination magic, do you have Mind Blank active?

[Orion the Smooth]

You would see nothing through Divination Magic.

[Ulthor the Cursed]

It's your turn

Round 10

Sorry about that, thought you were doing something else afterword

Despite the odd rippling in the center of the arena, nothing else appears to happen.

GM:

Just going to chill at A1, 55 ft up. Not going to try and attack while he is underground, as I don't think I have any spells that would effect him while underground.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 73 ⇒ (7) + 73 = 80

[Watcher Uatu]

just checking in to let you know I am still around. :)

[Ulthor the Cursed]

Round 11 - Movement

GM:

I move upwards looking for Orion with my blindsense. As I am only 5' below the surface (2' but am counting an entire square for movement) I will be able to move to a hight of 55'. My axe will be left underground.

When sensed, I will use remaining movement to close to 10'. My intention is to grapple him when located.

If unable to sense, I will end movement 55' above H7

IF found Grapple 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (7) + 35 = 42

ELSE silence Stealth 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (3) + 33 = 36

If I manage to grapple, you receive an AoO
