(I have myself at 345. I didn't fall into the pit remember?)
Orion frowns as he looks upon the relatively minor cut Darius just inflicted upon him. Hrm. I didn't get rid of that? You are stronger willed then I thought. Focusing inward, Orion defensively casts two spells, one of which uses his last quicken.
(Note Litany of Sloth prevents casting defensively or making AoO for 1 round.)
(Thank ye.)
Round 5 (Not counting all the time stop rounds)
Init 10
Darius falls like a stone into the pit as his boots magic is temporarily dismissed. He lets out a laugh as he falls back into the pit landing hard among the spikes and hellish things that crawl upon him. He felt no pain...this was only just beginning.
vs DC 30
(Swift to Touch of Corruption self Negative Energy
He lets his nodachi go as a free action and points up at Orion. "Lets see how you like the darkness."
Casting Deafness on Orion. Fort save please.
Move action to draw his bow.
(I have a line of sight and effect to you so don't see why not. Plenty of range on the spell.)
Darius HP 374/405
Orion HP 205/213
Orion's face grows puzzled as the the world becomes very silent. His face dawns in realization at what has just occurred, and he attempts to solve this problem by engulfing Darius in an orb of Water.
(Just curious how is your Save so high for a 3rd level spell? Its the same as your 8th level spell save. Heightened spell? You might have Arcane bloodline but just making sure its all good with the extended casting time for metamagic spontaneous spells.)
Round 6
Init 10
Darius dives aside at the orb of water attempts to ensnare him, even bad luck unable to snare him. He aims upward and rapidly fires off a full volley of arrows at Orion before swift healing himself again.

Ignores Armor and Shield AC bonuses
The sky around the arena begins to change and darken. You are not quite sure what's happening. You suddenly realise the air is becoming thin and you begin to feel pressure around yourself.
Darius HP 405/405
Orion HP 181/213
(No effect from Fort save stuff unless it also affects objects. Also I have myself tracked at 394 hps currently.)
Orion grunts as two arrows fly into him but stays where he is in the air. He takes a moment to redirect the Orb back over Darius (two reflex saves please!) and raises both hands in front of him. As he does, the Rift Darius is in fills with 20 feet of water.
Round 7
Init 10
To dodge the water ball.
(Do not forget your spell failure chance if you cast any spells to fill the pit.)
Darius dodges the slow moving ball of water as above him the sky darkens and arcane energies crackles around Orion as he hangs in the air. He puts his bow away. "Yes...let Darkness swallow you up and feel its soft embrace."
(I should be immune to the plane pressure but on the chance I'm not)
(Standing on the bottom.)
Orion strokes his goatee at the sudden change of environment, even as he mentally commands the orb to roll over Darius again (More Reflex saves! XP). He shrugs his shoulders, and fires down another blue orb from the end of his rod, that wonderful Freezing Sphere. It hits the surface of the water, and now Darius's sight is obscured by six inches of ice.
(Ice which is about to shatter as it takes the ongoing damage from the pit.)
Round 8
Init 10
Darius calmly avoids the Aqueous orb yet again and picks up his Nodachi blade where he left it. He then looks up at the ice as it begins to shatter under the abyssal effects.
(I do not believe it affects me if it is used to freeze the top 6 inches of the water. DM clarification? My logic being that it has two different effects with different durations. Duration instantaneous or 1 round/level; see text)
(It also states that the ice only lasts 1 round per level though as well.)
The pressure from the environment begins to press on you even tighter.
Darius HP 366/405
Orion HP 153/213
(Well seeing as I just went it is Orion's turn. However I'm not sure how your tracking my hps cause I'm down to 343 if I'm unable to soak/ignore that pressure. Also any chance for a ruling on the rift of ruin damaging the ice inside it? Ice normally has 0 hardness and 3 HPs per inch of thickness.)
Darius HP 343/405
Orion HP 153/213
(Yeah I didn't take damage from the ice yet. I was just wondering if the ice would shatter over time from the rift of ruin damage.)
(Still waiting on you Orion.)
The robes of eyes normally sees all forms of invisibility, so while it bypasses invisibility, it does not bypass mind blank since mind black blocks divination effects that allow one to gain info about the target. It even block miracle and wish spells. Invis+Mind Blank is a powerful combo. It can be defeated though.
Yes you are still considered to be invisible.
(Since this is a new DM making his rulings on such, that means my last 8 rounds(more with timestop) have been all in error. What happens now? Do we just assume his mind blank was on the fritz cause it entirely changes the situation if he suddenly is undetectable. If so I'd rather not drag this out for the amount of slow time it will take for him to chip away at my HPs with greater invisibility. I will concede and wish you luck in the tourney.)
Not directed at Tierce, but at the combatants:
A fumble is not always a failure unless it is an attack roll or a saving throws by the rules. If you can pass by only rolling a "1", you don't need to roll.
(It is Orion's turn though.)
** spoiler omitted **
I am going to find the post in question to see what you are talking about. I only skimmed the thread before and I did not see planar damage. Standby...
