    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Round 8 Semabin (21) still can't hurt his enemy with his scimitar. Pendrake (16) drinks a potion that restores 16 HP to him. In the process, he provokes attacks of opportunity from f2 (17) and f7 (15); only the former, next to him on the bridge, manages to bite him, doing 3 HP damage. Eanos...

    Proposal: Increasing adventuring experience

    My thinking is close to Trouvere's. We already have new rules that can speed up advancement -- time XP and DM credits. Are they inadequate? Do we need to speed it up even further? I've yet to be convinced. I generally consider advancement should be one level at a time. By that I don't mean...

    Sinister Spire(con't RBD)(Orsal Judging)

    And the DM's spreadsheet says... Natural 20! Critical confirmed (19). Total damage: 19 HP. Rowan charges the hellhound, landing the perfect blow on the creature, which immediately vanishes. (Talk about overkill. If reducing it to -16 hit points hadn't been enough, it was due to return to its...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Hmmm... good question. The rules only have you moving more than one space if the creature that rushed you moves with you. So that wouldn't take you past where f5 is. However, you also can't end your movement in the same space as another creature. So, one of you has to move. The closest I can...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Eanos has taken a few bites. Semabin shows no sign of injury.

    The beastly creature is now heavily injured, but not dead. The goblin flees further, and is now beyond range of any of your senses. Rowan is next.

    Oh, right, I forgot you swapped weapons last round. No AoO, of course!

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Both grapple attempts fail, one fishman failing to grab the wily Eanos, the other unable to maintain his hold on the athletic Semabin. f8 (15) then tries to jump onto the bridge and push Semabin down into the water on the other side. (Bull rush, with -5 penalty to the fishman because of...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Round 6 Semabin (21) takes a successful, but still not fatal, swipe at f6. My apologies for forgetting the Dodge bonus. I've corrected that. Semabin is uninjured. Pendrake (16) puts trades his sword for bow and arrow. That's two move actions, completing his turn. Eanos (16) scores too solid...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Let's see... it's basically a climbing action, and you can climb at a quarter of your regular speed. So climbing one space as a move action is fine for Pendrake. If you don't mind I'll go ahead and roll it: 21, on a DC 7 climb -- no difficulty. Once on the bridge, Pendrake is sandwiched between...

    Sinister Spire(con't RBD)(Orsal Judging)

    OK, sorry I misread about his weapon. Since it didn't hit, it doesn't make a difference. Now if the battleaxe had been masterwork... Rowan throws the dagger squarely at the hellhound (attack: 15) but the beast's infernal hide prevents it from penetrating. That's two attacks in a row that he...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Round 5 Semabin (21) attacks f6, but once again scaly skin wins. (Attack: 15) f8 (18) manages this time to bite Pendrake. (Attack 16, critical confirmation 9 fails, damage 4 HP, Pendrake is down to 16.) Pendrake (16) ...? Eanos (16) once again finds his opponent too strong to be tripped...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Round 4 Semabin (21) continues to hack at f1, with some success. f8 (18) still can't find Pendrake with his teeth. (Attack: 11) Pendrake (16) still finds f5's scales impenetrable. Eanos (16) scores one solid hit against f1. The creature falls, lifeless, back into the water with a splash. f3...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Pendrake is at the surface -- trying to hold on to the stone bridge with one hand. His body is mostly submerged, but he's breathing in the air. He couldn't hoist himself back onto the bridge unless he dislodges someone there. The only way I can think he could do that would be by bullrushing the...

    Sinister Spire(con't RBD)(Orsal Judging)

    Phoenix' mindblade fails to penetrate the demonic creature. The goblin, realizing Rowan is at his heels, breaks into a full-speed run. This means Rowan gets an AoO right now, but won't be able to keep up. Rowan's attack of opportunity: 14. He brings the dagger down on the goblin, but doesn't...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    All attacks of opportunity fail. Round 3 Semabin (21) turns around to attack the one that just climbed up behind him, but the creature's thick fish scales protect it against any injury. f8 (18) attempts to bite Pendrake, but finds his target too well armoured to sink its teeth into. (Attack...

    Lookspring does not penetrate the hound's infernal hide.

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Correct: Eanos fails to penetrate the creature's scales. But f3 is even less successful, lunging to bite the monk but remarkably missing the mark (attack: 5). f1, meanwhile, dives back into the water and surfaces in the gap where Pendrake was. Eanos and Semabin can each take an AoO as it climbs...

    Sinister Spire (Group 2)(Orsal Judging)

    Semabin scores another hit, but not a very strong one; f6 is still only mildly injured. Seeing Pendrake fall in, f8 dives back into the water to attack him. Pendrake just manages to dodge the bite. (Attack: 15) Pendrake and Eanos can attack this round. water f4 f5 P f8...
