You mean I might disenchant all your items? XP
Aye. But don't worry. I'll beat you to death with my bare hands if necessary.
Match 1- Dorian vs Duncan
Match 2- Soryn vs Darius
Match 3- Balor vs Belrim
Match 4- Orion vs Ulthor
------------------------------------------------------------
Due to me not being able to fairly adjudicate the last match I moved them both to round 2.
I plan to start round 2 on Monday.
Belrim you get the Balor who is probably the easiest opponent left. Don't underestimate him though. He has already taken one contestant out. :)
Rules for round 2.
1. Not posting within 24 hours of your opponents last posts gets you a warning unless you PM me with a good reason for a delay.
2. If you don't post with 48 hours from the opponents last post or whatever I assign as your deadline then you forfeit the match.
The other rules are the same for now.
Uh, you mean a week from today, right?
Yes, one week from today. That will give me time to set the maps up get a copy of everyone's character.
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
Soryn...I'll see you on the battlefield. I assure you I'll be a great deal more difficult then that sorry excuse for an inbred dragon.
I admit your battle will be quite interesting, Soryn, Darius. I am afraid mine will be a bit more of a game of Rocket Tag with Ulthor...and Ulthor's it.
I will also send out PM's the Sunday before we start to make sure everyone is in.
If anyone sent me a file by herolab I would like for you to make a pdf version file of that character. Herolab has an option to allow it, and send me that file. If you have not sent me a character sheet at all I will need it by Monday. Mark the title "character sheet". You can PM it to me or send it by email.
PS: If you send the character sheet to my email shoot me a PM so I know to look for it. Once I download it, I will send you a PM back. One of you is a summoner. I already have your character sheet. I will go over it tomorrow to see if I have any questions.
Looking forward to seeing the battlefield map. Hopefully it is larger than 40'x40'
I'd rather the maps didn't get too large though.
Something where I cannot stand in the middle and melee the entire map would be nice.
I have that option with a 40x40 grid.
PDF sent.
The smallest map possible will put you within 30 feet of each other. The largest will have you 120 feet away.
Dorian and Orian I have your pdf's, or at least my email is showing an attachment. Ulthor I still have your character also.
Everyone else I am still waiting.
Everyone good and ready?
I am.
Ulthor, Darius, Dorian, and Orion I have your sheets.
Everyone else has 48 hours.
I will look over them and get back to you ASAP.
Anticipation builds.
Hoping the other four update quickly.
Ready and waiting for things to get started.
I have PM'd everyone except for Belrim to see if they are still interested. Darius and Orion your character sheets are good to go. I did not see anything odd. I am about to go over Ulthor's character sheet then I will get that match started if I don't have any questions for Ulthor.
Sounds good.
Just let me know when a thread is set up.
Watcher Uatu had a question for me.
I apologize for the delay.
I am only waiting on two character sheets now, and the clock is ticking. :).
I realized an auto advancement because of an absent opponent is not exactly fair so there will be a monster substitute if needed.
While we are waiting
16 plus or minus 1d4 squares.
above 1-50=minus
below 51-100=plus
Match 1: squares
20 by 20
Match 2: squares
12 by 12
Match 3: squares
15 by 15
Match 4: squares
13 by 13
The environment will be with held until the start of the match.
And when will the matches be starting officially?
Hopefully tomorrow for some. For others I am have questions with the character sheets. Once that is taken care of their matches will start. The only person I can't PM is the person scheduled to fight the Balor. Right now it also looks like you(Darius) will have to face a monster since your opponent has not submitted a character sheet or responded to my PM at all. I know you are ready to go so I will get you started as soon as possible. By the time I get home the 48 hour extension will have passed, but I might not wait that long.
Gotcha. I'll be here ready to go.
Ready to go as well.
Everyone that has sent a character sheet has been approved. I will try to get everyone started today.
Prepare for battle gentlemen....
Match 3
For the 3rd match it seems as though the slotted competitor has disappeared. The Balor mockingly laughs, saying that all of you should give up also, as it advances to the semifinals.
Anyone can edit the map so feel free to move your character by just typing your name somewhere else on the map. If you might provoke then state your path. I also need everyone to list the round their action is on. It helps for the purpose of tracking buffs and other things.
Was there a height limit like in the last round? Just checking real fast.
How should we mark our position while invisible?
Will a post under a spoiler work?
A post under a spoiler or a PM to me.
The height limit is 60 feet. I think that it what it was last time.
We are both using similar tactics at this stage.
This is going to be a very long game of Cat & Mouse. At least until one of us runs out of spells.
The first match is complete. Duncan emerges as the victor, and he waits to see who will win between the Iathavos and Dorian who are engaged in what seems to be a see-saw battle at the moment.
Darius advances to the semifinals and he will face Duncan.
oh boy...the two melee specialists duking it out!!!
too many characters names start with "D"
I'm glad I finally get a chance to kill you. I was beginning to think this entire contest was full of nothing but mages.
We'll see who kills who, fancy pants armor-boy!
I'm looking forward to watching you two duke it out.
It should be a short, brutal match.
Duncan and Darius I will start your match on Monday if the other match is still going on.
I will probably sub the balor out for another monster just to keep things interesting. Darius did well against the Iathavos. I thought he was in trouble once I realized the monster could reach most of the map. I won't be using the Iathavos again though, even though I think it would have a decent chance against most other people.
Ha! I'd smash that tentacle monster but good!
You get to try to smash Darius on Monday. :)
I think it will be an interesting match.
PS:If anyone has single use items you get them back after the fight. I though I had put that out before but I can't seem to find the post. I won't be around today, so the final two contestants I can settle any rules disputes until tomorrow. Well I am about to check the thread, but after that I won't be available.
Wait if we are going to start on Monday I'll need to send you my character sheet on Sunday with a list of spell selection.
Just a note I'm currently working long hours and I might need some time to respond if my match gets started up.
Just a note I'm currently working long hours and I might need some time to respond if my match gets started up.
I was trying to get my internet working so I am behind playing catch up on all of my PbP's. Don't worry about it for now. I will shoot you a PM once I am caught up again.
I am getting closer to getting caught up.
