A tall man, stands ready, waiting for you. 6ft. tall the man carries a Kama in each hand linked by a fine length of chain. Linen pants, heavy cleated boots and bracers on his fore arms. His face shadowed by the brim of a wide rice farmers hat, many white and yellow ribbons stream from a heavy belt tied around his waist, he is ready still and calm.

Surprise Round ::

Gin grins and steps behind the pillar

I am Zouh..come and face me, one soul to another

Zouh delays into Round 1

I think if I understand it correctly this allows me to effectively go first, but with only a standard action? correct me if I am wrong

No, You go first... with full rounds worth of actions

oh well in that case

:Round 1:
Zouh drops one of the cam's at his feet, lifts a small vial of clear liquid to his mouth and drinks deep throwing his head back to make sure not a drop goes to waist.

"Now then, let us see where you have gone, come I am ready for you"

Nothing answers him but wind...

Your turn

:Round 2:

Zouh moves quickly with purpose, moving from A10 to J10

Perception: 13...not good enough

Head straight from A10 through squares, B10, C10, D10, E10, F10, G10, H10, I10, ending in J10. If there is a Line of sight between zouh and gin at any time in those spaces let me know.

Doesn't seem there unless you have special sight it would be at I 10

You look and perhaps your eyes deceive you he seems not to be there

:Round 3:
Zouh's eyes light up with recognition as he enters I10 just in time to se Gin backing away.

"Ahhh I see, my you are a big one, let us bring you down to my size"

Zouh steps to K10 and beguines his assault

In a flurry of movements Zouh swings the chained Kamas in a series of quick slashing strikes the first aimed to knock his opponent of his feet, the next two in an attempt to kill him.

First Trip: 8.. doubtful
Second: 16.. again doubtful
Damage: 9
Third: 16
Damage: 9

that wasn't brilliant....

Well those be misses

Gin has a slight grin, his body ripped with power and thus swings down with his blade upon this man.. ready to fight him one on one

11 for 15 : You get an attack of op as he moves away and to squares H-I 13-14

11 Doesn't Hit, these dice are really not giving us a break

I know they hate us.. Your turn

:Round 4:
A growing look of concern upon his face Zouh skirts the pillar to I11

Zouh lashes out in an exotic flourish of strength and speed..
Attack 1: 16
Damage: 7
Attack 2: 16
Damage: 9

only to find his attacks missing the large opponent....

man I could cream something with an AC of 16.... but there is no such opponent here

"You are persistent that is a good quality.. let Me show you.. Shinkenryu: Ichi no Kata!

Slashing across at the smaller mans chest

He stays his ground

7 for 20

Just getting caught up. Everything looks good with mbauers stepping in with a good clarification. Good fight with bad dice so far. :)

:Round 5:

".. Find your center before you strike..."

Zhou throws himself into the air while lashing out with all his might

Attack 1: 12
Damage: 10
Attack 2: 13
Damage: 5
Trip Attempt: 9

"..Perhaps mine will come with time."

the look on Zouh's face darkens as his brow furrows, this is not how it must be.

"Perhaps you are right.. I shall take you up on that offer

Gin moves to one-handing the blade swinging wide erratically but his hand glows slightly afterward stepping back as arcane runes shine upon his blade. In Squares H-I 14-15

17 for 12 Slashing Magic

:Round 6:

"Center comes from balance, balance comes from within. Perhaps you will find it in your Magic"

Zouh lowers his center of gravity and grips a Kama in each hand before renewing his assault.

Attack 1: miss
Attack 2: even bigger miss, Zouh drops one end of the linked Kamas
Trip attempt: 20 vs your cmd.

this is too painful...

Gin falls after the last strike standing up to Combat Zouh

Make an Attack of Opp, Zouh

AoO :15
Damage: 8

As Gin comes up he parries the strike to the side and slashes upwards into Zouh.

"Shinkenryu: Ni no kata"

OMG wtf... Sigh.. 30 for 11

yeuppp that hits home

:Round 7:

As the upward force of Gin's blade strikes Zouh it nearly lifts him off his feet.. but he clings to the ground and life.

Attack 1: 23
Damage: 8
Attack 2: 18
Damage: 5
Trip: 19

.. Perhaps I am the on in need of balance, you seem to have yours.

A hit and a trip

Gin takes a stab to his leg which makes him drop again to the ground.. He grows tired of this but knows it is his opponents best against his best and rises once more to challenge Zouh

Make another AoO

Gin takes this strike once again but this time using the strike to put Zhou off balance and striking at him hard with his blade

Attack: Miss Damage: 19

:Round 8:

Zouh seeing an opportunity strikes quickly

Disarm: 20
Attack: 17
Damage: 5
Trip: 21

"Here is my center, found even in the rush of battle"

you would have just ended me if you had hit

Once again Gin becomes disarmed and sick of dropping to the ground, but blocks most of the attacks and stands.. AGAIN, pulling the sword back into his hand with a flip of his wrist, you now notice is attached to a cord.

Same thing different round

Gin then attempts to impale Zouh through with his sword

Attack: 18 Damage: 14

Miss

MISS, I don't even know...

Gin growing ever tired of this, steps back and arcane symbol materialize on his blade again

Your go

Attack 1: 20
Damage: 5
Attack 2: 12
Damage: 7
Attack 3: 23 possible crit, unconfirmed
damage: 8

Gin takes the strike.. almost broken down to the ground, his cloak glowing in and out. Almost falling upon Zouh with his Blade!

"Shinkenryu: Shippu Doto! Deeyyyyaaaaaaaaaa!"

Attack: 41 for Damage: 18

Falling down after the strike his cloak glowing as he does so..

are you conscious?

Afterward.. Yes... I just was staggered then went unconscious.. then woke back up on the ground

then indeed you have won sir

Good fight.. Geez, you attacking 3 times a round was crazy! luckily I had True strike and Shawl of Lifekeeping though the last one would have hit anyway

Gin groggily gets up... moves over to his enemies body and gives a gracious bow.. before beheading Zouh with a swift slash 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15

I had a potion of see invisibility but other wise I was kinda not sure how to handle you... also the dice gods hate was strong here

Had a scroll of see invis but I had already used my redeemable limit so I decided not to.

Good game guys, and well fought through some of the worst dice rolling ever.
