I see; I get it now...let's do it this way, since "knocked off the table is different than Thrown off while falling...let's have her try to kick off some coins as a reflex save to see if she can knock them off before she hits the ground...she has a +7 reflex save, I'll say the difficulty is in her favor, DC 16 reflex save to kick coins off the table AND have them hit the ground before she does. That gives her a 60% chance of success...
(I hate d20s...2d10 ftw!)
Seeing defeat almost upon her, she tries to squeeze victory out of the situation by kicking at some of the coins left on the table, hoping they reach the floor before she does.
Yah, guess you're right it is a pyramid, it still makes it more predictable, with randomness throughout the game, if you want to design a challenge, then the average result of 2d10 is a better guage.
Aliadara kicks some coins to the ground, prior to landing on her rear end, she realizes another long drawn out battle awaits her...for the little dragon.
"So is a winner tah be declared...."
"Well played, well played, well looks like you'll be fighting one of my new rogues, Aliandara is it?
“Aliandara it is” with that she grins and makes a curtsy, hoping she didn’t bite off more than she can chew.
"Ah girl remember tah use every skill ye have. I seen yah dodge well in fightin Marra. Yer a fine acrobat, tis not my way o fighten but yer good at yer way!"
"I will be here at yer back" "An I make fine cover!"
"I need an ale."
Panish smirks as he pats Aliandara on the back for a job well done then looks over Marra. Finding a bruise on her he whispers words of healing and proceeds to study the gathered minions and Devargo himself under the guise of aid.
Aliandara goes over to her companions as they congratulate her and checks on Marra, using the time to prepare for the next fight. She tries to hide a dagger on herself before the combat; maybe the rogues that search her will be sloppy and not find it.
Does anyone remember what our hit point advancement rule is? Do we roll, take the average, what?

very nice...cool 3rd level ability.
Panish smirks at Devargo: "As you can see, Aliandara is more than just a pretty face. I trust you have a suitable challenger for her?"
Donagar came in at level three so is ready to cheer on the combatants in round two!

Looked at it, new sub-domain substitutions that I like, looked at multi/classing but decided that would cost me my 2nd level spells.....
Looks like APG will not happen till next level if at all.....
I will look at spells, but would not change spells prepared at this point......
"Let's make this interesting, since I'm quite attached to the little dragon, you'll have to take on two of these fellows. You and you" he says as he points to the two thugs.
"Are you suggesting three fights instead of 2 or are you suggesting both at once!"
"Little late tah be changin things, maybe yah could pick tha best one an I can play a different game of my choosin with the other one...."
Panish agrees with Donagar, "This is not exactly the way you described it before. Are you worried suddenly at the prospects of a girl beating one of these...?" Panish motions to the assembled thugs. "I think it would only be fair to grant her some small measure of an advantage if she is to fight two."
"Are you suggesting three fights instead of 2 or are you suggesting both at once!"
"Little late tah be changin things, maybe yah could pick tha best one an I can play a different game of my choosin with the other one...."
"Both at once of course" He states matter of factly with a chillingly cold smile.
"I'll let Aliandara start with the dagger..."
"It seems my host can not stick to his word and wants this party to be something very different..."
"Can you pick one or two or three out fer myself while yer at it?"
"I am tired o jus watchin!"
"Or maybe a volunteer o a dog with a pantin tongue wantin tah impress his boss by fighten meself stead o a girl!"
"Oh come now dwarf, Aliandara took down your tough, y'don't think she can take two of these fools?" The spiders climbing around him seem to be agitated.
"Then let me take a whack at on o them fools an see if they be as easy tah beat as yer proclaimin!"
"Now now, calm down Donagar; we are guests after all. Sometimes all that is left to do is to have faith that the gods will shield their favored."
Sgt. Drakus doesn't move, though you can hear his bardiche creak a little where he grips it.
"I agree tha girl can decide fer herself,but tell yer fools not tah come within mah reach as I might take a swat or two attem, I might take a swat anyway."
"It might be news tah some but I ama used tah gettin my way as well!"
"No volunteer to swap licks afor the main event starts!"
"One man's fool is anothers target practice."
Aliandara takes a deep breath, she wonders if Devargo will just keep on piling the odds against her, but she also realises that now is not the time to back down.
“I’m flattered that you think your thugs needs to gang up on me to have a chance, I’ll take the challenge. ”
"Oh, I just want to see a challenge, the only one who could probably stand up to you alone, would be...me...I'm thinking"
Perception should see Donagar raise one thick eyebrow at these comments!
Keeping flail in hand Donagar keeps working on his drink
blessing and purifying it as always
"Let's get this show on the road!"
"Agreed! Aliandara, hold onto that knife, you two get on that table, strap them up. The remaining applicant's strap a piece of leather to each of the hopefuls, and one strap to each of Aliandara's arms, the dagger resting in her primary. You realize that if the rogues work together well, they will be able to really control Aliandara easily, but if they work against each other, Aliandara will be at an advantage. The two rogues know that whoever wins amongst them gets into the Devargo's family of vice; but they're also aware of the danger Aliandara represents.
Sense Motive:
Panish speaks words of encouragement to Aliandara: "Looks like you get to pick your favorite; or maybe it's just a matter to see who is the better man"
Sense motive
fail!
"So whats tah happen when she kills em both with one swipe o tha blade?"
"Well I'd be a bit disappointed in these recruits, but I;ll keep my word and free the dragon. I'm hoping they at least draw some blood..."
Aliandara turns to look at each of her opponents, checking to see what she is up against. Catching the hint Panish is slipping to her she then remarks to them ”I wonder which one of you two will draw first blood. You better move quick before your friend takes the credit.”
The two rogues straighten slightly and look at one another, suddenly the shorter of the two shoves the taller, with a sneer on his scruffy face. The taller wollups him on the head in rebuttal,which causes the shorter to have a slightly dazed look on his face.
"Very well then...BEGIN! Devargo muses, seeing the cunning in Aliandara pitting the two against each other.
