Bruno rides out astride Esmarelda to a roaring crowd. Onlookers appear to have come from all over the arena, saving the time to watch this fight unfold. Some have their smelly, threadbare shirts off, slinging them around above their heads with much hullabaloo, others simply yell and roar through nasty, often broken teeth, but the sentiment is support and encouragement. Bruno also sees Rolg, sitting in a special box above the smallfolk, in his suit of gleaming armor.
Kirk, although more of a newcomer than the dwarf, has his share of fans in the crowd as well. Among skinnier peasants especially, and some of the more skilled laborers whose muscles don't rip as much through their shirts as their peers, there is much applause at the Elf who has consistently toppled his martial foes.
Bruno is in A10, Esmarelda in AB1112, Kirk in L10. Initiatives and such.[/ooc]
Bruno nods to his respected combatant-friend (and the only combatant he has ever lost to) in the stands before lifting his lance high to the crowd. His history of dental neglect and general lack of personal hygiene notwithstanding, he looks very much the part in gleaming chain mail. His trusty pick hangs at his side, along with three untouched Pillum across his back.
Esmeralda seems to be in tip top shape as well (relatively speaking as she smells worse than the dwarf). Her studded leather barding looks clean enough and a couple places even shine in the light.
Kirk enters the Arena with an overconfident smirk. The kind of smartass smirk you tend to hate. He is an 6 ft 3 in tall elf with silver hair, dressed as a common traveler. You can make out something looking like a crossbow on his back and a blowgun on his belt, the only armor you can see is a haramaki. There is a dusty rose prism flying around his head, it looks like it has already seen it's best days. You can also make out a scroll case and some alchemical items hanging from his belt.
Kirk is accompanied by his miniatur giant space scorpion Uhura (just a greensting scorpion) who readies for the fight at L9.
Initiatives:
Kirk
Uhura
Kirk:29
Uhura:4
Are you mounted already or do you two share initiatives?
That's a tricky one since you have so many options. Here we go:
Kirk waves his hands and mumbles arcane formulas Casting a spell (DC 16 Spellcraft).
Cast Shield
Bruno and Esmeralda are up.
P.S. sry, my internet is horribly slow again :(
Bruno puts a hand on Esmeralda's saddle and mounts a little slower than usual. He edges Esmeralda to the side before covering his unusual lack of dexterity by shouting, Have at ye, puny Elf! and launching a great glob of phlem at Kirk.
You two are in A 12 then right?
[edit] sry, large creature, got it :)
Uhura will move to J10 then.
Thinking about Kirk's round 1 action...
Does Kirk see any ranged weapons or potions on Bruno?
[edit]nvm, a pilum is a ranged weapon...
Kirk answers the disgusting display of the Dwarf with a deprecating gesture slightly turning his head away.
Kirk weaves some gestures again, mumbling some arcane formulas concluding them by throwing some sand in the direction of Bruno and Esmeralda.
Cast Sleep
DC 16 will save for both of you please
I'm sorry, I'm just not firm enough with the rules. Kirk's spell is not completed this round (I'm ok with you keeping the saves if you wish).
Kirk takes a 5 ft step to L09
Bruno and Esmeralda up.
Bruno growls. He can't get to his main opponent because of the little bug in the way. So, he charges the little bug.
If I make ride check DC 10
Uhura is dead :(
Kirk finishes his spell.
According to your saves: Esmeralda falls into a deep slumber while Bruno can bring the willpower to stay up. Which square is Bruno in?
Uhura stays dead :(
Is effecting one square of Esmeralda enough to effect both with color spray?
1 being directly up, moving clockwise.
As Esmeralda topples from a sudden case of magical narcolepsy, Bruno falls out of the saddle as gracefully as falling out of a saddle can be done.
Can Bruno step through sleeping Esmeralda? Or is it difficult terrain? Can he end his movement in a square where she lies and attack me?
nvm, just thought about the options and it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Kirk moves to H09. He mumbles some arcane formulas again while gesturing, concluding with vivid colors spraying from his fingers. Bruno feels an occult force probing his mind.
Cast Color spray
DC 16 Will save please.
Step to G08 if Bruno makes his save.
Round 2
Bruno gives Esmeralda a solid kick to the rump. The camel wakes with a groan and stumbles to its feet. Bruno re-mounts swiftly. Esmeralda locks her beady black eyes on the caster. She steps over and bites the Elven pest.
Kirk has a big flesh wound from Esmeralda's bite.
Has Bruno a weapon in hand?
Kirk takes a 5 ft step back to G07, repeating his last standard action casting defensively this time.
Cast Color Spray defensively
Kirk can maintain his spell not provoking an AoO. DC 16 Will save for you two please. Move depending on the outcome.
Phew... that was pretty much my last try...
Rounds of unconsciousness:
Kirk draws his Xbow. Positions himself one round, then starts CDGing Bruno.
1st:
2nd:
3rd:
So Bruno dies after the 2nd CDG, do I have to kill Esmeralda too?
Good game! This was a close one. I need to rethink the use of sleep...
