OK, I hate cluttering up the IC thread with OOC stuff, but hows this sound: If you use Listen as a partial action (can take place of a Move or a Standard), I'll let you listen all round (Both your turn and his), meaning if you hear him on YOUR turn, you can take the 2 actions, and if not you can smack him with your readied action but not go invisible. Sound fair?
(Never let it be said I'm not open to compromise.
It may sometimes be true, but never let it be said anyways..
)
In other news, we're waiting on... OH, me. ok, Update:
IC:
Room A - Corlon listens intently, trying to find his invisible opponent, but doesn't hear anything for a few seconds, until he hears some low chanting off to the side. Turning quickly he flings his firebolts, and 1 of them hits what is (Assumedly) the caster, while the others splatter against walls, leaving more scorch marks. The Cleric groans in pain but manages to finish his chant, though nothing seems to happen... It dawns on Corlon that his opponent may be either healing himself or improving his own abilities.
Room B - Astaldo fires 3 arrows at the Celestial, stepping backwards as he does so, 2 of the arros slice across the mans flesh, drawing blood, and the 3rd flies mere inches to the side, narrowly missing its wings. wincing, the angel clasps his sword and concentrates for a second, his form suddenly becoming blurry before he steps forward to again get into melee range.
Room D - Uvaka, apparently attempting to make up for his recent ineptness, unleashes a flurry of devastating strikes, inflicting multiple bloody wounds on the Dragons hide. Hissing in pain, the dragon swnigs with both its claws, but both are deflected, unfortunately Uvaka is somewhat distracted by them, and is unable to avoid the dragons mouth as it bites down hard (20 damage) and then with a mighty flap of its powerful wings, heads into the air, flying upwards into the darkness and chuckling as it shakes its unfortunate victim around.
(OOC: You can attack from this position, OR try to get out. If you attack you're at -4 to hit b/c of the awkward positioning, but if you break free you may fall onto the floor, now about 70-80' below you.)
You have No more Increased Multiplier, or Ki Damage, all used up (Rather effectively, though.. 2 max damage criticals can be painful.)

OoC:I assume that you took my Tortoise School's +4 vs, Grabs in to account, as you seem a very detail oriented DM <compliment>.
Ouch, BTW...
I'm not sure how the Dragon has hold of me, am I in it's Jaws?
Can I use my 'Parry', which is what I will do against it's Bite attack...which seems impossible, as I am in it's jaws. What is the AC of Dragon Mouth, anyways?
I will Parry the bite if possible, though that seems an unrealistic option, as I think I am dangling from it's mouth.Oh well, it's not like I don't Crit more often that not.Could I use Parry to Thrust my sword inside it's mouth, as if to pry it's jaws apart<keeping it from clamping down on me i.e. Bite attack>, rolling vs. it's bite? I will do so if possible, in which case I think the 'Thrust' would count, though at the -4 that you mentioned.
Seeing as it isn't really the time or opportunity for drinking a 10 pack of cure light wounds potions, so here goes.
IC: Uvaka continues his assault against the Dragon, using 'Thrust' attacks on every attack.

OOC- If I may make a suggestion, perhaps have 2 threads? Once for the rooms which can be restarted as needed when the posts rack up and another for IC interaction outside of the arena?
Furthermore, would anyone like to know what the parry feats are exactly (they're frmo a Dragon issue)? I had them typed up for another arena player who was looking for a character. If you do, just say so in the OOC thread or here with your email addresses.

OODM: Sollir, that's what I'm planning. This is just for the 'starting' fights, and after that THIS thread will be the ARENA (courtyard/store/etc), and I'll have a different thread for the battlegrounds (Probably named... aptly enough.. "The Battlegrounds"). Also I'll be starting a new "Arena" Thread each IC Week.
IDM:
Room A: Corlon becomes a blurry, 5' tall woman, and hears some more chanting, this time very faintly and farther away. A few seconds later, he hears "What the.."
Room B: Astaldo fires again, his first arrow travelling right through where the Celestials shoulder seemed to be before he caught on to the glamer, his next arrow lodging in the Angels throat and sending him to his knees, coughing up blood as Astaldo's last arrow lands in his chest, knocking him backwards to the floor. Looking up with regret in his eyes he tries to say something, but his eyes close before he can get it out.
THe room blurs for a moment, and Astaldo appears in the stone room (You know which one) in the courtyard, and hears voices outside.
ROOM B DONE
Room D: (Yes I thought of all that, and factored it in... NO you can't parry, though I"ll give you a +2 to your opposed grapple/escape artist check if you use your swords to pry yourself free, b/c of the situation.)
Uvaka begins thrusting her sword into the dragons maw, drawing deep lines across it's guns and crashing through some scales. Shrieking in pain, the dragon opens its mouth and Drops its prey. grabbing onto the dragons leg, he is unfortunately unable to hang on(Failed Reflex save by 1) and begins his plummet to the ground, 80 feet below. (29 falling damage + 6 subdual.. Total damage Uvaka has taken: 98 + 6 subdual. He's Still able to move, but is in a lot of pain.)
FORTUNATELY, he was abl to land on his side, and doesn't hear any of his potions smash.
Courtyard - The Halfling looks at the gathered and says "The store uses Gold, just as you are likely used to, and they often reward people with Gold for winning in battles. You're gonna LOVE the store, it's got EVERYTHING you could need." She sees Maleficus approach "Nice match, we're just waiting for the rest to finish Then I'll show you all around."
OODM: OH btw, I've got that Dragon Mag, so I know what all the parry feats do, I'll keep an eye on it all myself.

OoC:Ouch...Well, it is true that you can only drink 1 potion per round, right? If I can drink more, I will...Otherwise, since I think that I am about to get fried again by Acid...
IC:Uvaka pulls his 3-Ball Bola, casting it at the hovering Dragon, hoping to snare it's Wings.
Perhaps the Hummingbird God had his eyes cast elsewhere, or perhaps it was finally Uvaka's time to perish once and for all.
