Arbiter Mbauers's page

Been while since anyone posted on here. Anyone's match still going?

Well, it is a pretty small sample size. But let's see:

Faust 1d1000 ⇒ 208
Boe Hunter 1d1000 ⇒ 241
Sariras Greenscale 1d1000 ⇒ 747
Meng Ren Rui 1d1000 ⇒ 970
Honorable Apprentice 1d1000 ⇒ 647
Olwyn Unseelie 1d1000 ⇒ 417
"BASHA" 1d1000 ⇒ 345
Llyr the Lush 1d1000 ⇒ 778

Arena 1: Meng vs Llyr
Arena 2: Sariras vs Honorable Apprentice
Arena 3: Olywn vs BASHA
Arena 4: Boe Hunter vs Faust

Is that better? I like how I'm always in the bottom, haha.

Faust
Boe Hunter
Sariras Greenscale
Meng Ren Rui
Honorable Apprentice
Olwyn Unseelie
"BASHA"
Llyr the Lush

Ok, that was enough time. Here goes:

Faust 1d1000 ⇒ 22
Boe Hunter 1d1000 ⇒ 323
Sariras Greenscale 1d1000 ⇒ 937
Meng Ren Rui 1d1000 ⇒ 928
Honorable Apprentice 1d1000 ⇒ 257
Olwyn Unseelie 1d1000 ⇒ 34
"BASHA" 1d1000 ⇒ 135
Llyr the Lush 1d1000 ⇒ 274

So that means--

Arena 1 Sariras Greenscale vs Meng Ren Rui
Arena 2 Boe Hunter vs Llyr the Lush
Arena 3 Honorable Apprentice vs BASHA
Arena 4 Olywn Unseelie vs Faust

Good luck!

We have a couple more slots open to get to 6. I will wait 24 hours or less, then roll out with whatever we got for the next randomization.

Random bout! Durgrosh vs Faust

Random bout! Honorable Apprentice vs Sariras

Random bout! Boe vs Llyr

Random bout! Ripley vs BASHA

Random bout! Olwyn vs Meng

2 highest face each other, then next 2 highest, etc.

Basha 1d1000 ⇒ 806
Llyr 1d1000 ⇒ 454
Durgrosh 1d1000 ⇒ 301
Faust 1d1000 ⇒ 230
Sariras 1d1000 ⇒ 422
Meng 1d1000 ⇒ 855
Olwyn 1d1000 ⇒ 872
Boe 1d1000 ⇒ 497
Honorable Apprentice 1d1000 ⇒ 427
Ripley (just has to fix one or two minor things) 1d1000 ⇒ 825

Gnasher, I left you out for this round since I don't have a build from you yet, but you're the next in.

So the matchups are:

Arena 1: Olwyn vs Meng

Arena 2: Ripley vs BASHA

Arena 3: Boe vs Llyr

Arena 4: Honorable Apprentice vs Sariras

Arena 5: Durgrosh vs Faust

Good luck all!

Welcome back, sir!

Nice, that puts us at 10. I can try to setup the randomizations sometime tonight.

Meh, I don't think I deserve 2 points for doing essentially nothing. Give Jezebel 3 points, Bruno 2 points (he got second place), and I'll take 1 point for the loss.

It looks like we're at 9 entrants. If we get one more we can do the randomization. Do we have any more?

I think we should require a minimum of 4 combatants at a Level to allow fights. Otherwise Shigeharu and Jezebel will fight each other every time, which is kinda lame IMO. I also want to do an equipment change (have wanted to for a long time), but there's really no hurry for it until we get more Level 5 fighters.

Also, did you give Jezebel VP for the 3-way match? I thought it was an exhibition. If it counts, I need to give Arian 1 VP for the loss.

Though it's moot, I just wanted to point out for future reference that a coup de grace doesn't work that way. It's a full-round action for a single attack, which auto-crits (and adds sneak attack damage). If the target survives, they need a FS with a DC = the damage plus 10.

Regardless...

VICTORY TO OLYWYN! WELL FOUGHT!

RANDOM BOUT: BOE HUNTER VS OLWYN. GOOD LUCK!

Boe Hunter and Olwyn, head over to Arena 4. Sorry for the delay!

Victory to Honorable Apprentice

Everything looks good to me. You will be in the next round of randomizations, or you can challenge someone. Welcome aboard!

Stonefist, if you do not post within 12 hours of this post, you will forfeit and Honorable Apprentice will get the win. Carry on!

That is correct

RANDOM MATCH--BASHA vs Faust. Good luck! May the best dwarf win! ;-)

RANDOM MATCH--Meng Ren Rui vs Sariras Greenscale. Good luck!

RANDOM MATCH--Honorable Apprentice vs Stonefist Heavyhand. Good luck!

Ok, since we're at an odd number I'll drop Durgrosh. I'm just going to assign everyone a d1000 and the highest 2 face each other in Arena 1, next two in Arena 2, etc.

Level 3's

Stonefist Heavyhand 1d1000 ⇒ 786

Meng Ren Rui 1d1000 ⇒ 589

BASHA 1d1000 ⇒ 224

Honorable Apprentice 1d1000 ⇒ 980

Faust 1d1000 ⇒ 195

Sariras Greenscale 1d1000 ⇒ 488

That means:

Arena 1--Honorable Apprentice vs Stonefist

Arena 2--Meng Ren Rui vs Sariras Greenscale

Arena 3--BASHA vs Faust

Good luck everyone!

Sorry, got distracted and forgot I entered this, Still have the power to jump in the matches?

Yep, you're in.

I'm for starting the next round with the contestants we have.Any late arrivals can be pitted against each other.

Well, it's more fair for randomization if the random roll happens when all people have checked it. We're at 7/10. I'll wait another 12-15 hours or so to see if we can get 3 more, then I'll do the matchups. Anyone who arrives after that time can still do challenge matches, though we might need to make a couple more arenas. We'll see.

Since we’re still low on Level 4’s, I’ll just keep the level 4 three way battle going in Arena 6 and that’ll do it for Level 4 characters for now. That leaves 10 open slots for Level 3’s. We still need a few more. Choon, do you have a Level 3 guy?

Level 3s so far:

Durgrosh Blacksun—(Do you want in on this round, Immortal?)

Stonefist Heavyhand

Meng Ren Rui

BASHA

Honorable Apprentice

Faust

As soon as I get 10 people to sound off, ill do it

I agree. I also put

Sariras Greenscale (Khaosclaire)

in with the level 3's.

Yep, we are always accepting new members. Unfortunately, Tieflings are banned--check out the character creation guidelines in the campaign info tab.

Just need clarification on a couple things from Khaosclaire, and then she's in with Sariras Greenscale! Welcome aboard

Sure thing--Just go to the campaign info tab, click the spoiler for "creating a character", and that tells you all of the guidelines for character creation. Within that long spoiler, go to the section called "character submissions" (I think) and there is a link to the character template. When you have the character created correctly in that template, PM it to me and/or Immortal and when it's checked out you can participate in the next round of randomizations.

In the surprise round you may take a swift action, a standard (or move) action, as many free actions as you want, and a 5 ft step (if you've made no other movement).

Challenge Match! Faust vs Samurai Jack

Faust in the North, Jack from the South. Good Luck!

Alright, cool. Immortal I'm setting up Jack and my challenge match in Pit 5. We can do the Level 4 3 way battle in pit 6--I can randomize spots later

Samurai, if you're accepting my challenge, I can set it up. New matches are posted in the discussion thread.

Re: the three way--Id do one lower left, one lower right, one upper middle.

Gotcha covered.

Samurai, I'll challenge you with Faust if you want another go.

Victory to Elik the Senile! Well Fought!

You'd be surprised--some people have crazy-high Initiative. :-)

Hello everyone, and welcome aboard! This is really fun when games are rolling, so hopefully we can get things ip and running soon. As for formatting, I would recommend that people read past matches to check out how things run.

One thing, Immortal--the VP totals are off. It should just be 9 to reach every level. So 9 VP gets you to level 4, 18 gets you to level 5, etc. This way you can just keep a run if total of VP by tracking a character's overall W/L record and not have to reset at every level.0

yup about 50% as i copied your whole character sheet so send you a proper formated crunch. :) (why waste a good work when you can recycle after all aren't we supposed to do something for the environment ? (evil laughter...)

Samurai Jack's just an environmentalist, I get it, hehe. You might want to PM Napju if you haven't already, see if he's ready to get into the fray.

Samourai Jack didn't know his match was up, I just Pmed him so he should be good to go. Also, for "teh n00bz", hehe, here's a post I just made in Pit One but it'll help anyone who needs to know how to format:

Napju, click the button that says "show" next to "how to format your text" just below the post box. It will show you how to make ooc tags, like I used for this post, and spoiler tags. You can put your rolls in spoilers for the arbiters, and post the results in ooc for your opponent. I'll post an example in this post. Also, Samourai Jack didn't know your match was up, so he should be here soon.

For ooc tags, type exactly what I'm typing below, but take out the "Xs" in the brackets.

[oocx] This will turn blue [/oocx]

For spoilers, do it like this, but again, take out the Xs.

[xspoiler=Arbiter] This text will appear in spoiler tags. [/spoilerx]

So you would do this...

Then say--my Init was a 24. Yours? Etc, etc.

Good luck to you both!

1st player is in L11, 2nd is in A10.

The Arena

Yep, all sheets updated on google docs. Samourai Jack is in, Napju is in, Kaira is in, all Level 3. Bruno is up at Level 4--just needed an HP correction, which I PMed him.

Eben, that would be great if you could setup Immortal on the Google Docs too.

A couple things as matches start:

1) The VP system on the campaign info tab is wrong. You get 3 points for a win, 2 for a tie (should be rare), 1 for a loss, and 0 for a forfeit/loss due to inactivity. Every 9 VP you get, you advance a level. So keep track of your W/L record on your profile to make it easier for everyone.

2) The alphabetically first character starts at the top of the map, other person at the bottom. I have to check exact squares.

3) The match starts with a surprise round in which both characters are aware of the other. In the surprise round, or round 0, you get a 5 ft step, a swift action, and either a move or standard action.

See previous matches for any sample posts.

Good luck everyone!

Immortal, I'd just do you and Bruno as the Level 4 match for now, to give Sleet Storm time to get BASHA's stats, unless Eben's return means Rolg is back. Rolg, you back?

Kaira is approved and, with one minor clarification, ready. I just need to look over Bruno's sheet, but I assume it'll be fine.

Sleet Storm--I believe you sent BASHA and Sleepy Pete to Jehova. Can you check your sent PMs? The only one I have is Morskitter.

Imimtrl--do you want to arbitrate? Choon, how about you? Perhaps we can setup the matches today and get this thing rolling.

Castle Bravo's character, Napju Mmesli, is approved and ready for Level 3 randomizations.

Algar Lysandris also submitted a character and just needs to reformat some things and get approved (but looks good so far).

Some helpful links, including one of the Pit Threads for people who want to view some of the past matches, for those interested. There is no limit to the number of gladiators and no build is too "cheesy", so try out whatever build you're thinking.

Pit One

Campaign Info

A few things, for anyone interested:

At level 3 you get 4,500 gp. 10% of that can be consumables, but only half of your consumable budget will be reimbursed each fight. So, for example, you can have 450 gp worth of consumables (to prepare for different situations). But only 225 gp will be reimbursed after a fight. So if you use 300 gp of potions in one fight, you went over by 75 gp, so your overall wealth is now lowered to 4,425 gp. G

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here. I guarantee other people will have the same questions you do ;-)

Please put your character submissions in this format: It's a lot easier to audit when it's all the same format for everyone.
