Feytouched, round one

Do we roll for initiative, or just assume the feytouched goes (elegant, like playing black in chess)?

The feytouched appears impishly delighted with the contest, and stands her ground. (figure this is 60N0E then) ... she fumbles out a shortbow and plinks an arrow at the raven, hoping against hope she can hit the thing.

No initiative roll necessary, we just take turns.

The arrow flies, but it isn't even close. (Roll is 5-2 for long range = 3).

Round 2:

The raven flies full speed and dive bombs the feytouched, aiming for her eyes.

The raven scratches her face! (Roll is 10+ 2 for charge +1 for higher ground = 13).

It does 1 point of damage. The feytouched has 1 hp left.

The feytouched, bleeding freely from a nasty gouge on her face, drops her bow and snatches up her dagger, lunging desperately at the fast-moving raven.

The raven is too busy trying to land that it neglects to dodge out of the way of the dagger.

The feytouched hits! (Rolled a 13) 2 points of damage! The raven is at -1 hp and is dying.

Round 3:

The raven takes no action and is defeated!

A weasel enters the arena and runs forward to position 60N40E.

The feytouched had hoped for a brief respite, perhaps a teatime. Something along those lines. This weasel - that's not a proper tea partner. In fact, he looks as if he wishes to do me ill!

She snatches up her bow (move) and fires off a single arrow, wincing as she squints to aim.

The feytouched would have to drop her dagger to pull off that maneuver. Does she still want to do that?

The feytouched regrets she only has one life to give for the Battle of All Alignments! She drops her dagger and fires! (Plus, the new foe, the lack of a teatime, it's all filled her with a powerful sense of ennui.)

Her wackiness has deadly results!

The arrow plows right through the weasel! (Rolled natural 20, 14 crit roll)

6 points of damage! (out of 3d6 - pretty sad!) The weasel has -4 hp and is dying!

Round 4:

The weasel takes no action and is defeated!

The feytouched enters the hall of fame!

A giant worker termite enters the arena and moves to position 60N60E.

Yikes! The feytouched really does need a breather ... perhaps death will offer some peace.

In that spirit, she summons some fatalistic dignity and looses another arrow at the giant bug.

The arrow flies by the termite! (Rolled 9)

Round 5:

The termite charges to 60N5E and tries to put the feytouched out of her misery.

It misses wildly! (Rolled -2 + 2 for charge = 0)

The feytouched is out of ideas. She drops her bow, picks up her dagger as a move action (taking the aoo) and, if she lives, slashes desperately at the chittering termite.

The AoO misses. (Rolled 4)

The feytouched almost stabs herself with the dagger! (Rolled natural 1)

Round 6:

The termite bites the feytouched (rolled 13), but fails to bring peaceful death. 1 point of damage. The feytouched is at 0 hp and is disabled.

"For the fighters!" the feytouched screams, flailing about with the dagger despite her imminent demise. "For the confused! The addled!

"CHAOTIC NEUTRAL!"

With this, she launches a suicide attack on the termite, pushing herself beyond the brink of consciousness.

The feytouched's dying wish has been granted! (Rolled 16) 4 points of damage! The termite has 0 hp and is disabled.

Round 7:

The termite holds its action, staring blankly around the arena.

Next up for CN: an ekrat (Creature Catalog)

A thin, grey-skinned creature, about a foot tall and clothed in a few uneven strips of brown cloth stiched haphazardly together, dashes into the arena (at position 45N0E). It's yellow eyes open wide as it stares wildly about. The thing's gaze finally sets upon the wounded termite, and it knows what to do. It raises the dagger in its hand above its bulbous head, and runs at the insect.

The ekrat is entering the arena, then moving to the termite and making an attack at +6 for 1d4-3 damage.

Neil Gaiman would be so proud.



Forgive my ignorance, but are there formal rules posted for this thing? I don't understand why no one has been hauling out Axiomatic Phrenic Vow of Poverty Hulking Hurler Tarrasques with Spell Immunity: Wish yet.

Try the thread entitled "Rules for the Battle of All Alignments".

P.S. You are forgiven!

The ekrat moves to 60N5E, entering the termite's square.

The termite misses the AoO! (Rolled 10) It falls to the ground, dying.

The ekrat has another action left in Round 7 before a new combatant enters the arena.

The ekrat frantically plunges its knife into the termite's carapace, doing its best to make sure the termite is fully dead.
