Walking out to the floor of the Dome, Say a prayer for me then. Let's get this done...
Lucca's voice amplified over the stadium demense, Ladys and gentlement! Welcome and prepare to enjoy a battle of epic proportions between Lazarod's champion and the inevidtable champion of summoners...THRAX!
The crowd grumbles a bit but is soon mollified by Ragnar's antics as he walks out to the center dias of the pit and becons the crowd to cheer for him.
Ready?
Round 1!
A small group of sturdy lemures appear in front of Thrax's cage. He begins to cast a spell over them.
Action?
"Gorum give strength to your blade my friend and may the luck of Desna be with you!"

Nice job with the avatar!
5 largeish lemures surge around the aura of protection as you consume potion after potion. The crowd roars in anticipation and anxiety, some fearing that you will spend the entire fight behind the shield and hope for a draw. Thrax continues to summon lemures, and now there are 16 of the creatures surrounding your circle of protection. The noise grows even louder as you lash out with your great sword, breaking the protection from evil enchantment.
Your attacks will hit first:
I don't believe it would be physically possible for all 16 lemures to attack Ragnar in a round, 6-10 tops!
Keeping his back to the summoner's cage.
*damage to Ragnar
assuming 2 different claws hit for 5 and 6 damage each?
so apply DR2 to make it 3 and 4 damage each = 7hp damage
apply shield other so Ragnar takes 4 hp, Caldir takes 3 hp

4' tall; 200 lbs.
Fair enough. I'll modify for next round, but it works out OK because I forgot the first 5 were hasted!
Pussy....
:)
Ragnar slashes down one of the lemures as Thrax continues to summon lemures-2 more to the fray!
The lemurian horde attacks (just rolling the 5 hasted lemures)
They scratch and claw but don't hurt Ragnar at all!

Nice work!

Shield wears off, AC=25
Ripping through the last of the lemures you roar out your challenge . The roar from the crowded stands is thunderous, RAGNAR! RAGNAR! RAGNAR! RAGNAR!
Suddenly a bank of nauseating fog covers the area around you.
This is a violation of the rules as I understand them, right?
Start charging towards Thrax.
If this violates the rules then Caldir is going to get into the action as well.
Draw my blades and charge towards Thrax.
The crowds roars turn to howls of disapproval as the roiling clouds of noxious gas flow over your area of the arena. On the far side of the ramped stage Thrax magically appears and launches an acid arrow at Ragnar!
touch attack
Thrax brandishes his quarterstaff, twirling it about menacingly.
If this violates the rules then Caldir is going to get into the action as well.
Draw my blades and charge towards Thrax.
This is indeed a gross violation of the rules of the duel and you know by the crowd's reaction it is completely unexpected.
There is no door from the summoner's cage to the arena floor. You will have to go back out and around to the arena seating to be able to get there.
surge sudden attack
"You are an even bigger fool than I thought summoner."
Exit the cage and enter the arena as quickly as possible.
Ragnar -11hp
Caldir -9hp
Ragnar has to double move to get to the summoner's position.
During that time he takes another points of acid burn and Thrax casts another spell.
Exit the cage and enter the arena as quickly as possible.
Ragnar -11hp
Caldir -9hp
Your movement will take you out of range for shield other, disappating it.
Ragnar -16hp
Let me know when Caldir is able to engage.
Blinded: Ragnar begins to rage.
Blinded: Ragnar begins to rage.
You also have the second chance trait and can re-roll one failed save per day.
Blinded
The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone.
Let me know when Caldir is able to engage.
It will take you five rounds to get out and around and back to the battle floor.
So this is round 3 for timekeeping purposes.
Ragnar takes another of acid damage.
Thrax:
Acid dart touch attack
is Ragnar in melee range?
second chance will save
Ragnar -28hp
He is so I'll count that first round of rolled attacks as you made your save on the second chance.
Ragnar hits three times, and although the damage seems less than he expected, he now stands over Thrax's crumpled bleeding form; the sound of "You are an even bigger fool than I thought summoner." still hangs in the air. Thrax looks like he's still alive, just unconscious.
Caldir makes his way to the raised platform to see Ragnar smiling contently.
Well that was a lot of work up for nothing...
"Nice job Ragnar, the treacherous fool got what he deserved. I think we would be justified in slitting his throat and letting him bleed out, but for some reason I can't bring myself to do it. But I am not above teaching him a lesson in addition to the beat down you gave him, after all to the victor belongs the spoils."
Search Thrax and pilfer all his belongings.
