Publishing to promote our newest release in the E.N. Arsenal line, <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=3818&" target="_blank">E.N. Arsenal - Whips</a>.  If poster Stevelabny, playing as the duergar fighter/barbarian Burgeddin, is able to defeat our whip-wielding contender, he will win a free copy of E.N. Arsenal - Whips and Spiked Chain.  Even if he loses, he still goes home with a free copy of Whips.(Probably a little overpowered for a single duel, but hey, it'll be nice to see the Elf get thumped.  Sundering a whip is the same as sundering a normal weapon, except that only slashing items can sunder them, not bludgeoning.  Since it has a weird reach, I'd rule that you could ready an action to sunder when the attack comes in, even if the whip-wielder herself were out of reach.)Vs.The battleground is a forest clearing.  The clearing itself is a hundred and twenty feet across, surrounded by Medium forest.  There are a lot of small trees, and a massive tree every thirty feet or so.  Rules for medium forests are on page 87 of the DMG.  Most of the ground is clear near the clearing, but if you go more than 100 ft. into the woods assume light undergrowth.We're running this game on the honor system.  Roll your dice at home and post your unmodified roll, and what it is modified.  If you take an action that would incur an attack of opportunity, post what action you're taking, then wait for your opponent to respond before moving on with your action.  If you have a readied action, use the {spoiler} tag to hide what you're readying until after you decide what to do, and then check the hidden text to see if the readied action interferes with your action.  If it does, post what you were trying to do, and wait for your opponent's reaction.If there is a conflict, we'll go to our unofficial judge - the Rules Forum.Quillathe and Burgeddin are both searching for the same set of ruins, where a treasure waits for the taking.  It seems like neither wants the other to have the treasure.  The combatants start 60 ft. apart, each 30 ft. from the middle of the clearing (and thus 30 ft. from the tree line, and neither is surprised.Stevelabny, post when you're ready, and we can get started. Quillathe stands in a duelist's stance, smirking confidently at her small opponent.  She holds a rapier in her left hand, casually pointed at Burgeddin, and with her right hand she smugly twirls a bladed whip.  Both weapons trail frigid mist in the late afternoon heat.[hq]"A dwarf?"[/hq] she chuckles.  [hq]"Or are you just a big halfling?"[/hq](Her initiative roll is 12 +8 = 20).</blockquote>
