Arbiter:
Well that's 41 damage. So I'm done.
Arbiter:
I'm not sure how to handle mount death in terms of Vatale ending up on the ground. I'm going to make a reflex save and a ride check here. I figure the DC for a swift dismount is 5 and if I have a good save maybe that makes sense but it's up to you. Reflex Save: Ride Check: Looking at the results I'm guessing I'll make it to the ground standing. in which case I figure I'll go for E15 since Gyllir's corpse is taking up FG1415. I'll just attack the eagle in E14 again. Attack: Damage: In terms of damage I've taken I'm down to 16 HP. Vatale gets clear of Gyllir as she falls landing on his feet in E15. The eagles while missing many attacks do land several, drawing lines of bright red across Vatale's arms and back. He swings again at the eagle in E15 again but misses once more.
Arbiter:
Ride check to negate the claw attack dealing 6 damage via mounted combat. for a DC 19 check. This leaves Gyllir taking 11 damage which puts her down to 1 HP. I'm dropping my bow as a free action and unsheathing my Katana as a move action. I will then attack the eagle in E14. Attack: Damage: Well then. Vatale drops his bow and unsheaths his katana, swinging at one of the eagles and missing horribly. Well then, this is going swimmingly.
Arbiter:
Challenge against Jezebel as a swift action. Ride check: for DC 5 guide with knees check. Ride to FG1415. Ready an attack with a thistle arrow upon seeing Jezebel. Riding out towards the center of the arena Vatale nocks an arrow and stops with the eastern wide pillar to his back.
Arbiter:
Ranger's Focus on Jezebel's companion as a swift action. Ride Check: For DC 20 mount as a free action. Ride Check: For DC 5 guide with knees check. Attack against the companion with a thistle arrow as Gyllir moves to HI1819. Attack: Damage: plus bleed damage for rounds. Vatale leaps into the saddle and Gyllir runs along the wall of the arena to the East. Vatale, guiding Gyllir with his knees nocks an an arrow and lets fly at Jezebel's companion.
Arbiter:
Initiative:
Sounding off at level 3.
Arbiter:
I'm pretty sure he has line of sight on me from A11 while I'm in HI1819. Down to 0 HP. I'm disabled and have the staggered condition. Ride Check: for DC 5 guide with knees. As a swift action I issue a challenge to Johnny. I move Gyllir to HI1718 by way of CD1718. That is the halfway point and where I make my attack from. I take a standard action to attack Johnny, however, in my disabled condition I take one point of damage and get put to -1. I use Resolve as an immediate action and stabalize. I am still staggered. This attack is made with a slow burn arrow. Attack: Damage: plus fire damage in one round. Vatale cries out in pain but the sound of Gyllir's hooves starts back up immediately. Riding north Vatale fires a second arrow at Johnny. He wheels Gyllir around and heads back south.
Arbiter:
Ride Check: for DC 20 free action mount. Ride Check: for DC 5 guide with knees. Swift action Ranger's Focus on Johnny. Gyllir moves to HI1819 and I make a standard action attack on the way with a thistle arrow. Attack: Damage: plus bleed damage for rounds. Vatale leaps into the saddle and sits there for a moment studying Johnny. He then kicks Gyllir into motion and they move East. Vatale draws an arrow and takes aim, firing at Johnny before moving behind a pillar.
Arbiter:
Initiative:
Vatale stumbles in after his first fight. One hand holds Gyllir's reigns while the other is pressed to his gut. Instead of going to medical ward he heads to the stable. Taking off Gyllir's barding and saddle with one hand he gives her a full brushing. Once this is complete he drags himself to the medical ward, on the way his hand slips and some intestines fall out but he pushes them back in.
Well now that my first battle is done I guess I'm ready for another. Pending the official ending by the Master of the Pits of course. I have some equipment changes but they should be in momentarily. Sound Off
Calling you a human was a cruel insult brother and I'm sorry for that. You fought well.
Arbiter:
So that attack puts me at -10 HP. I have a Con of 11 so I'm not flat out dead but I am very close. As an immediate action I'm using Unstoppable from my Resolve class feature (Samurai) and stabilizing. I'm staggered but I can take standard actions without dying. Ride Check: for DC 5 stay in saddle.
Arbiter:
Ride Check: For DC 5 guide with knees. Ready an attack against Gin as soon as I see him. Attack: Damage: Vatale suddenly charges out from behind the pillar firing an arrow at Gin as soon as he sees him. Gyllir quickly eats up ground crossing the entire Arena.
Arbiter:
So I'm not sure if he can take a swing at Vatale, if he can then a 19 misses. In case he is swinging at Gyllir I'm going to roll a ride check via mounted combat to negate the hit now. Ride Check: as an opposed test to his 19 attack. By the exact wording of mounted combat I have roll higher than his attack. So he would hit and Gyllir would go down to -3 HP.
Arbiter:
HP: 6 at this point. Ride Check: for DC 5 stay in saddle due to damage. Ride Check: for DC 5 guide with knees. Vatale cries out in pain and swears a good deal but wheels Gyllir around and begins riding east. Arbiter:
Moving to GH1920 and firing an arrow at Gin while doing so. Attack: Damage: Before disappearing behind the pillar Vatale turns in the saddle and looses another arrow at Gin.
Arbiter:
Perception check: since apparently he's singing. Arbiter:
I'm assuming that a 17 doesn't let me pinpoint him. So I'm just going to take another total defense action. Well now you're just acting like a human. Vatale stays where he is.
Arbiter:
Perception Check: Vatale Shifts in the saddle but Gyllir doesn't move. God I hate waiting. Arbiter:
Total Defense Action. I need to draw him out of invisibility.
Arbiter:
Ready attack action to attack Gin as soon as I see him. Move to the dead center of the arena FG1011.
Arbiter:
Perception:
Arbiter:
Swift action: Challenge given to Gin. Ride check: for DC 5 guide with knees Attack: Damage: I'm moving to HI1718 by way of CD1718. I'm just moving north and then south in order to get an attack off and end in cover. This attack (made at CD1718) is dependent on me having line of sight. I'm assuming that he took a 5-foot step to either A12 or B12. If I don't have line of sight I won't make the attack and instead I'll ready an attack for as soon as I see him. Movement will not change no matter what.
Sound off. I'll fight Rolg in a challenge after this randomized round if he's up for it.
Arbiter:
Swift action Ranger's Focus on Gin. Ride Check: For a DC 20 to mount as a free action. Ride Check: For a DC 5 to guide with my knees. Suddenly Vatale leaps in the saddle and kicks Gyllir into motion. Gyllir trots to the right (left from Gin's perspective) while Vatale knocks an arrow and lets it fly at his opponent. Arbiter:
Gyllir is moving from KL1112 to HJ1819. Attack is made half-way through move at IJ1415. Attack: Damage: Vatale and Gyllir end up mostly behind a pillar.
Arbiter Only:
Initiative
Ready to enter the ring.
I think it wasn't just your luck but also my complete and utter lack of luck. Hopefully next time we meet I'll be able to put up more of a fight.
Arbiter:
Well 21 damage puts me at -5 but I'm using Resolve as an immediate action to stabilize and remain conscious. However, I am now staggered. for a DC 5 Ride check to stay in the saddle. +10 from ride +2 from military saddle. So despite being in the negatives I should be conscious and Gyllir should finish his move to KL1314. With the tip of the pilum now lodged in his chest Vatale unleashes what you assume is a string of the most foul elven curses. Despite having a javelin in his chest he seems to be clinging to life and not only does he remain in the saddle but Gyllir continues moving. Upon stopping you here Vatale call out, Good one dwarf, but I'm not done yet.
Arbiter:
Using a standard action I'm readying an attack against Bruno on sight. Then I'm moving Gyllir via my knees for DC 5 Ride check. We're moving to KL1314 sticking to the lower wall of the arena. It's a double move so if I see Bruno the attack will suffer a -3 penalty. Riding out from behind the pillar Vatale and Gyllir head to the right along the lower bound of the piller. Upon seeing Bruno he lets loose a third arrow. Spoiler:
To Hit: Damage:
Arbiter Only:
For DC 5 ride check to guide with knees. Vatale nocks another arrow as he kicks Gyllir into motion once more. I accept your challange! Only one of us will leave here Dwarf. As Gyllir begins galloping to the left Vatale takes aim and lets loose another arrow at Bruno. Arbiter Only:
My acceptance of challenge was a swift not free action and was my declaration of a challenge as per the Samurai class feature. Gyllir is double moving to HI0203 imposing a -3 to all attacks. The arrow is shot half way at HI1011 To Hit: Damage: The arrow veers left and clatters against the arena wall. Even at his distance Bruno can hear Vatale cursing.
Vatale strides into the arena beside his mount. He glances with disdain at his opponent, although it's quite obvious that he's a pompous ass. He holds a longbow carved from a dark wood, a quiver of matching arrows is slung across his back. He wears parade armor with an armored kilt.
Arbiter Only:
Vatale's eyes focus on Bruno, boring into him as if to seek out every weakness. Arbiter Only:
The eye focusing is Ranger's Focus on Bruno as a swift Ride check For DC 20 check to mount as free action. Ride check For DC 5 check to guide Gyllir with knees. He leaps into the saddle in one quick motion and kicks Gyllir into motion, she trots to the right (or the left from Bruno's perspective) while Vatale knocks an arrow and lets it fly at Bruno. Arbiter Only:
Gyllir is moving from KL1112 to HJ1819. Attack is made half-way through move at IJ1415. to hit If I succeed Damage:
Sounding off. |
