I have no objection to how things have played out. I do not believe you are showing favoritism while trying to manage a situation most of us wouldn't consider attempting. However, to defend the poor tactics of those of us who stepped out, we really thought everyone else was a good 40' out.
Oh my god, such a harsh hit Orthrik. Like i said in the PM's i love that character, its a shame we couldn't team up and flank. I think the shield has done for you this time though.
Heh, I was really hoping for a crit, but no such luck. I might have been able to withdraw to safety, but that would have been a little cowardly.
Well, looks like I'm down for the count here. I'm not sure about being able to shift the rage bonuses around, but it looks like you might outlive me yet.
I don't think i'm going to last very long on 0hp anyway tbh, but i thought i better take the best shot at survival.
There are links to urban barbarian and controlled rage in my profile. Its all about the word "may" since urban barbarians may enter a controlled rage and just pump one stat, or they can enter normal rage since Controlled Rage does not replace the standard Rage ability.
Hey, Lucendar? I just saw the newest picture in the Flickr pool. What are those things I'm standing next to? Should I be concerned?
I agree with Menas' interpretation. It does say "may" and does not replace. However, when the rage ends, he will be fatigued and back to 0 hps.
Haha! That's a map for my Savage Tide campaign, not this one. There's a half-orc monk who has the same pic.
Oh. Whew. That's a relief. I guess it's true that the maps didn't quite match up did they?
Thought i'd drop this in here, haterivets action seems to end combat, other than him deciding where he wants to go. Due to the difficult terrain no one can reach anyone else with a single move so no attacks can take place and getting onto the stones shouldn't be a problem since no one has any actions ready to threaten us and its already been made clear that PvP on the stones is suicide.
Might be worthwhile dropping back into RP rounds?
Really up to Quain. He has a reach weapon and could try and take you out, Menas, if he wished to risk the entangle spell.
He has acted though. He is the one who spanked hollander.
I mean in the next Round since he goes before Menas.
Ah, true. I kind of hope Quain has my back but if thats the way it goes down...
He is Lawful so he may not attack. I sent a post to all to see if we have to continue combat because entangle rolls just kill momentum!
I was sorta hoping that Kazmuk also did not know we were not using ready actions, but no such luck. Somehow he knew. Maybe he had tried to ready. In all sorta a wasted turn for me, so I wanted to explain my rational.
I knew you couldn't attack me because you were on the stone, which the Baron declared was a safe zone with no bloodletting allowed.

You were wrong, except for the ruling that I could not ready. For the record my readied action was to 5 foot step out of the safe zone if you began casting. Then I would be off the stones, and your casting would have provoked. What prevented this was the DM not allowing readied actions.
I am glad that for future combats he will allow it and I like his planned requirements for it. I also agree with him that it will complicate combat, but its just too important to game mechanics and balance to not allow it.
My original post edited to fit the rules. Pardon for my (overeager to post and see what is happening next) clumsiness :-)
I think i might be dead...
How so?
We're still in combat rounds, and i'm the only injured person on the map. It stands to reason that whoever is still in combat rounds is probably going for me.
Call me pesimistic but there are a few people who can get to me, i don't rate my chances without help or healing, or both.
I think i might be dead...
Hey, there's plenty of room here in the soon gonna be dead corner.
I have to say, I'm curious. I find the alliances odd that are forming. I know I've been called treacherous for daring to step off the stone and twirl my sling around looking for a target. What would the other players say is the thing that makes me so bad, while 2 players ganged up on Othrik who was just looking for a fair fight? I mean, those guys got congratulated for being such upstanding people. What does, for instance, Justified see that makes one prisoner so bad while another deserves applause?
So far it looks like the Good Alignment = hypocrite.
I know I see things from a skewed standpoint, so please, enlighten me.

Pretty sure you couldn't have 5' stepped on your readied action, since you already moved that turn.
You know.. if everyone else gets themselves killed.. you may end up being one of the winners! (Assuming you stabilize!)
Hey, i never professed to be good. I looked at Orthrik and saw a huge risk that needed to be shut down, i saw him move at Salu and saw an opportunity and i took it.
I did however lay down my opinion before the game even began while we were roleplaying in the recruitment thread, mad dog killers cannot be trusted and its best to put them down before they become your problem.
So far i have seen team sprinter make a bad choice to try to take everyone on and fail, team goblin do the most sensible thing and try to get out of the fight to live, team evil got delayed by their missing member but they have also been quite sensibly neutral.
Team letsalljustgetalong have acted against the people trying to make a mess, i took on Orthrik because he was trouble, you got hit cause you were trouble, its the most sensible way to go since everyone who gets to the end has got a chance and no one wants to get splattered for no reason other than someone elses evil tendancies.
You know.. if everyone else gets themselves killed.. you may end up being one of the winners! (Assuming you stabilize!)
Take an hour to regain consciousness without help, he'll be killed in less than 15 minutes for not completing the Trials.
Oh, was thinking if we all died by default, if he was at least stable.. would be the only thing left to choose?
It's funny how people said just something about team evil not acting :D
Cleric with LE?....
NEGATIVE CHANNELING BOO YA! or best of all, still got my reachy reachy weapony... This is really tempting situation for Varos, you know Menas... ehehe :D

I believe you are correct. But I could ready a move, which is tactfully more flexible anyway. But the point is moot.

No, if you all die, scrap the experiment! Or find new prisoners!
I wouldn't blame you, but Menas will quite happily swear undying loyalty to whoever keeps him alive. Like i said in the cells, i'm in this to win it by whatever seems the most sensible course of action. Now taking out Orthrik hurt but it made sense, fighting everyone else doesn't and realistically there are only 3 people who can help me now. Whoever wants a dual wielding shield tank who can guard them might as well throw me a heal, if not i'm definately done for.
Justified, could you post your action for this Round?
Whaa? No way, you have a dying cannibal.. (And we all know they turn into ghouls.....)
Now how fun would that be ? A timer at the start and the end.. especially since who knows WHAT happens with the dead bodies!!!
Wizard with great powers.. little animate dead to spice things up...
You said 15 mins to finish all 5 trials? that seems a really short term plan for a guy who's making a huge profit from the gambling on these trials, if it was me i'd let it run for a day or so while i got all the spectators drunk and poor.
He's coming out a little ahead with all the costs involved to transfer you from all over Golarion. Besides, death sells! Remember, you are all murderers of innocents in their eyes! People are rooting for your death!
We need to stop messing about and get these trials done. How long have we got left?
You do know that when you say undying loyalty.. it means something for me yes? :)
Might think of it or at least Varos is thinking. Getting one extra meat shield plus guy dash damage out for you hmm.... Just how to prove loyalty there, just a question I would ask as a Varos. Also wasting 1st level spell slot to heal.
This game is just too cool to pass by
Wait, do we all have fifteen minutes from when the first person starts the first trial? I was under the impression that we would have fifteen minutes each. If time has already started, Kor isn't wasting any more of it.
Timer hasn't started for Menas; it starts when you reach Tournament Grounds. The rest have about 14:54 left; except for Cirnos, who has 14:42 left.
You realize you are going to have to run this game or a variation of it every month or two now, don't you, DM? The crowd is demanding it, it seems...
So if everyone dies and all thats left are me, hollander, orthrik and salu bleeding to death on the sad our timers haven't started? Nice.
That means that the Kuthites timers are still at 15:00 and so is Gala's if i worked that out right?
PS. my next entry is going to be an oracle.
True, except for Hollander, whose timer started when he stepped on.
Ouch, that was a bad move Hollander. Sorry about the bad luck.
Varos, currently my loyalties lie entirely with my own survival. Justified and Quian have at least helped me out so i do owe them something, but at the end of the day without some method of regaining HP i'm not going to make it very far.
In my enraged state i'm not exactly in a position to bargin in character but either you or Gala could benefit from a relatively powerful ally with some simple curing. Hell even kazmmuk could come back and drop me a cure light to have my eternal gratitude, not sure what my eternal gratitude is actually worth in here though, eternal could be very short for all of us.
PS. my next entry is going to be an oracle.
^Salu
funny you should say that ..
...that's what I was just working on

Hey your not out yet Salu, this game could make strange bed fellows. If gala decides to throw a bit of healing around we could end up with Orthric, her, yourself and myself running together in the hopes of survival. You know what they say about great minds though... Perhaps an Inquisitor of Norgorber insted if your going oracle.

Ha! I hear no public clamoring, see no parades! LOL...but seriously, the fighting part is fun, but I couldn't come up with so many different trials, except for the 5th one (combat). Let's hold judgment till the player actually get through them, if they can.
No prob, thanks for the update!
I passed my entangle save, i can maintain my rage for another round so i can get out of here. The big issue is if someone blows a stiff breeze my way i'm probably dead.
If someone not in the tournament grounds were to do an AoO (like maybe negative channel) and it hit someone in the tournament grounds, is that punishable by death?
Rules are simple: if you are on protected ground and you harm or try to harm purposefully or not someone or get harmed, that is a violation for either you or the person who did the harming.
