NE vs. N (FFA): Very Young Tarterian Dragon vs. Adult Ethereal Dragon

Gansk · 10th April 2005, 11:20 AM

Round 1:

The lizard charges forward 40 feet. The position is 60N80E.

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 08:02 PM

The Moon Rat moves cautiously towards his combatant, at his maximum walking speed.

[I'd appreciate if you'd put somewhere which book these creatures come from, because I'm having a bit of trouble finding the stats on the Moon Rat.]

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 08:13 PM

The Moon Rat is in the MMII. I promise to tell you which book from now on.

The Moon Rat does not receive any benefit from the artificial light in the arena, so it is at its weakest state in the text description.

By "walking", I'll assume the rat made a single move towards the center of the arena from the western edge. So the rat is at position 60N10E.

Round 2:

The lizard runs into the rat's square.

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 08:44 PM

As soon as the Lizard is within the Moonrats reach [inside of it's square, in this case], it lunges forward to bite the reptile!

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 08:56 PM

The rat misses! (Rolled 7)

Round 3:

The lizard retaliates and delivers a crunching bite! (Rolled 19) 1 point of damage! The rat has 0 hp left and is disabled.

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 08:59 PM

The rat lies motionless for a moment.

The moonrat is defeated by the Lizard.

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 09:13 PM

The moonrat is still alive at 0 hp and is not defeated. It can take one last bite and drop to -1 hp or it can take a single move action and stay at 0 hp. If it lies motionless, the lizard is going to coup de grace it and have a nice meal.

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 09:20 PM

(( Rah. I was entirely unaware of still getting actions at 0. That must be one of the changes from 3.0 to 3.5, huh? Sorry, still in the transitional stages. ))

So then, it doesn't lie motionless. It hopes to use it's dying breath to inhale some Lizard-stench, and reaches out to bite.

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 09:31 PM

The poor rat misses again. (Rolled 7) The rat has -1 hp and falls to the ground dying.

Round 4:

The lizard coup de graces the rat. 1 point of damage! The rat now has -2 hp.

The rat takes no action and is defeated!

Next up for NE: a goblin (MM)

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 09:36 PM

The Goblin steps into the arena, half-confused and half blood-thirsty. His morning star in hand, he moves to the Lizard [60N0E to 60N5E] and smashes at it's little lizardly skull.

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 09:51 PM

The goblin misses wildly! (Rolled 5)

Round 5:

The lizard tries to enter the goblin's square. The goblin misses the AoO! (Rolled 10)

The lizard bites the goblin's ankle! (Rolled 21) 1 point of damage. The goblin has 4 hp left.

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 10:10 PM

Rather than swinging wildly at his own feet, the Goblin opts to take a step out of the square [to 55N5E] and takes another swing at the tiny critter.

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 10:23 PM

The morningstar pounds the lizard into pulp! (Rolled 21) 4 points of damage! The lizard has -2 hp and is dying.

Round 6:

The lizard takes no action and is defeated! Its body is teleported away.

An arctic fox enters the arena and moves to 55N60E.

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 10:46 PM

The Goblin stands his ground, and swaps his mace for his javelin.

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 11:01 PM

Round 7:

The fox charges to 55N10E and tries to bite the goblin.

It misses! (Rolled 6+2 for charge =8)

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 11:03 PM

Apparently this was a less-than-genius goblin, who hadn't really considered that wolves are pretty quick.

He takes a free action to drop his javelin, a move action to re-equip his mace, and an attack action to smash that dogs head right in. He hopes.

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 11:17 PM

The fox was too busy charging to dodge out of the way! (Rolled 13) 5 points of damage! The fox has -2 hp and falls to the ground dying!

Round 8:

The fox takes no action and is defeated! The NE crowd goes wild!

A dire rat enters the arena and moves to 55N60E.

RobotRobotI · 24th April 2005, 11:32 PM

The goblin snarls to himself at the entry of another petty animal, and begins his charge from 55N5E to 55N55E, ending his rush with a swing of his morningstar.

Gansk · 24th April 2005, 11:49 PM

This time it's the rat that is surprised by the goblin's speed!

The goblin jams a morningstar spike right into the rat's head! (Rolled natural 20, 19+2 for charge =21 crit roll)

9 points of damage! The rat has -4 hp and is dying!

Round 9:

The rat takes no action and is defeated! The goblin enters the Hall of Fame!

The next opponent is from the Expanded Psionics Handbook, which I don't have. Co-Moderator PJSlavner will be conducting the combat with you.
