Gansk · 10th April 2005, 10:56 AM

Round 1:

The cat charges forward 60 feet. The position is 60N60E.

oracle of truth · 12th April 2005, 04:07 PM

The elysian thrush enters the arena at 60N120E and charges towards the rat (charge attack).
New position: 60N60E.

Gansk · 13th April 2005, 07:30 AM

The Elysian thrush hits the cat (rolled a 16+2 for charge = 18) and mauls the cat for 1 point of damage. The cat has 1 hp left.

The Elysian thrush enters the hall of fame (most damage done)!

Round 2:

The cat retaliates and hits the thrush (rolled an 18) for 1 point of damage. The thrush has 4 hp left.

The cat joins the thrush in the hall of fame!

oracle of truth · 13th April 2005, 12:27 PM

The thrush attacks again.

Gansk · 13th April 2005, 11:12 PM

The thrush hits again! (Rolled a 21). The cat is down to zero hp and is disabled.

Round 3:

The cat takes a desperate swipe at the thrush and hits! (Rolled a 19). The thrush takes 1 point of damage and has 3 hp left.

The cat takes a point of damage is now dying at -1 hp.

The thrush has an opportunity to position itself against its next opponent, which will be revealed when he/she/it enters the arena from the east side. The thrush's current position is 60N60E.

oracle of truth · 14th April 2005, 09:55 AM

The thrush turns around and let its wings take it up.
New position: 60N90E20H

Gansk · 14th April 2005, 10:29 AM

Round 4:

A tiny monstrous black widow spider enters the arena. It moves to position 60N100E and shoots a web strand 35 feet in the direction of the thrush. The roll is 11-6 (for long range) = 5. Not even close.

oracle of truth · 14th April 2005, 10:32 AM

The bird descends quickly charging towards its new foe.

Gansk · 14th April 2005, 11:14 AM

The thrush lands on top of the spider, hoping its claws will provide a nice meal. The roll is 10 +2 (for charge) +1 (for higher ground) = 13. The spider dodges out of the way.

Round 5:

The spider tries to bite the bird. The roll is a natural 20 and the critical threat roll is 12. The thrush's momentum carries it into the fangs of the spider! The critical hit still only does 1 point of damage to the thrush, which still leaves it with 2 hp, but the bird succumbs to the poison (rolled a 5) and loses a point of strength!

The thrush is immobilized and helpless!

Round 6:

The spider performs a coup de grace on the poor bird. It takes another point of damage but makes its save and still lives! (Rolled a 14).

Round 7:

The spider tries again to finish off the thrush. This time the bird is put out of its misery. (Rolled a 5).

The spider is in the hall of fame!

Next up for NG: An aasimar (planetouched).

oracle of truth · 14th April 2005, 11:47 AM

The aasimar enters the arena at 60N120E and prepares strike at the spider when it comes into reach.

Gansk · 14th April 2005, 10:19 PM

Actually NG enters from the west side of the arena, so it would be from 60N0E. I'll assume the aasimar moved 20 feet to position 60N15E. The spider is 80 feet away (85 feet if it wants to enter the aasimar's square, which it does).

Round 8:

The spider runs as fast as it can to position 60N20E, within range of the aasimar's longsword.
She swings and hits! (Rolled a 20) 7 points of damage! The spider is dying at -5 hp!

The aasimar enters the hall of fame!

The aasimar goes first in Round 9 and can position herself against her next opponent.

The neutrals would be happy to have an aasimar on their side, but wait till you see what comes out next!

oracle of truth · 20th April 2005, 06:04 PM

The aasimar waits at 60N15E.

Gansk · 21st April 2005, 03:48 AM

Round 9:

Out from the ranks of Neutral comes - the dreaded pony!

The pony trots into the arena to position 60N70E.

Komodo · 26th April 2005, 03:09 AM

The aasimar frowns and bites her lip, and grips her sword tightly. She is reluctant to slay an innocent beast such as this, but knows her duty in this contest. She raises her sword above her head, hoists her shield in front of her chest, and charges at the pony.

Just a charge at the pony at +4 for 1d8+2.

Gansk · 26th April 2005, 03:35 AM

The pony is 50 feet away, and the aasimar can only charge 40 feet in his scale mail.

Are you sure you want to do that?

Komodo · 26th April 2005, 03:44 AM

Well, poo. Not used to wearing medium armor. Okay, then, in that case, the aasimar swiftly draws her crossbow and nocks a single bolt. She hurriedly cranks the string back and levels the weapon at the equine.

Gansk · 26th April 2005, 04:02 AM

Drop or sheathe your sword? (Free action vs. move action)

Komodo · 26th April 2005, 09:16 PM

See, this is what I get for not paying attention to everything...I guess she'll sheathe it, and, if possible, load her crossbow. If not, she can always load next round.
