- Start date
Round 45 action:
Kanyano drops his bow, quickly drawing a garrot, steps around the bars and flying to the ground next to Varus from over the southern glowing blue wall. He looks like he is trying to sneak up on Varus in the open and garrot him! Varus rolls over and swings at Kanyano hitting him solidly. Unable to finish his garroting he drops his weapon and quickly draws two shortswords out.
(Hide failed due to observation. Roll vs Kanyano:29 Damage: 17 Effect:Garrot attack automaticly fails)

Turn belongs to Varus!

First Post
Well, that game was quite close. I expected Kanyano to keep me pinned down in the center area with missle fire as I tried to figure out a way to get to him. Being both harpooned and entangled by the tanglefoot bag, I was down to 5' of movement, and with -4 to my Dex I had lost the use of quite a few feats.
Lessons I've learned: Carry more stuff. You can never have too many tricks up your sleeve. There were a couple of times I wished I had a few extra weapons to throw (clubs would have been useful), and few minor alchemical or magical items could have come in handy.

Congratulations to your victory, cousin Varus!!! Well played Mal-2!
It did not end as I had planned! (But that is obvious I guess...)
I should have consulted Macbrea to see if I (Kanyano) could hide along the way to attack Varus with my garrote. Actually, I should have remembered that I would not be able to, as I had asked about a similiar situation before...
If I had been a bit more patient I could have had a greater chance of success by hiding this round and moving up to attack next round - it would at least have me tied for second place with Vilhelm...
I have had great fun during this game and I would like to thank Macbrea for a great job! He has always been swift with replies to my weird questions and has been running the game with speed and flair. Well done!
Also I would like to thank my opponents:
Mal-2 (Varus) for a quick and merciful death despite my unceasing attempts to end his life by any means. How many HP did you really have remaining when you were down -93? One? I almost got you, didn't I?
Evileyeore (Vilhelm the Cruel) for the terror he inspired as he unceasingly followed my blood-trail. You were the character I were most afraid of and I thought you would end up winning the game with your well-made character. That meant you were my primary target too.
Dondarrian (Kitoy) for all the aid you gave me. Alas, we both got to feel the decapitating strike from a scythe.
Garion (Sollir Furryfoot), you had an idea that probably would have worked most excellently if there had been no antimagic fields on the arena to protect the fighters from being dominated by you. I had to find you and defeat you to free my ally Dondarrian from your Domination. I really like your suggestion to Dabbils cohort btw.
Clockworkjoe (Meme), I tried to tempt you into attacking me by taunting you. You kept your cool and your elves really made a lot of trouble for me. It is not every day you get to see a sorceror in plate - I thought you had an interesting concept.
Single Malt (Single Malt), I was wondering how many HP could you have really? Still standing at -99 was impressive. I was almost tempted to leave the Ghaele to rampage just to move up to you with my antimagic field...
Green Slime (Verdin the Vicious), what can I say my friend except that I think you would have won the game if you had gotten a better start. You had the means to become really powerful in all those scrolls you had scribed.
Dr midnight (Dr Midnight), I think you and Varus had an entertaining exchange of insults. Sadly I couldn't help you when you were held though. I think your character would have done wellin the end with mostly fighters about.
Number 47 (Dabbil) you made the most powerful character conceivable and played your recources perfectly except for that you grew powerrful too fast and out in the open. I think you impressed all of us and it looked like you would win the game pretty quick. That made you my prime target, especially since I was the only one immediately able to negat your magical boosts. You really hurt me with those arrows from your allies and the leagacy of the Ghaele you left to plague me was really troublesome. Impressive!
And a last thanks to the spectators - I know there have been a few more than those that have posted their comments.
I hope to get something together so that I will be able to play in Johnos GoD3. I will see some of you there. Bye!

OK - What have I learned from this GoD then?
Always bring a reach weapon, lots of good healing potions, and lots of tanglefoot bags. Get spring attack feat, power attack and quick-draw. Don't buy useless things (especially items with an effect that is unclear or not checked beforehand with the DM) like a shrinking garrote for over 9000 gp when you can get useful arrows and Necklaces of Fireballs. And get a cohort and lots of followers if you can. That's just a few of the things I immediately come to think of...
Perhaps the most important thing though: Be patient and your plotting will bear fruit.

Hmmmm, what did I learn...
Mostly not to stand toe to toe with hardcore fighters when you aren't one yourself. Then remember to use your prep spells when you have the time... and not after they would be handy (I had a Freedom of Movement scroll that remained unused...). Lastly to consult the GM well in advance with your wacky ideas to make sure thay will work and not the day before gamestart. My original plan involved striking from the ethereal with a weapon of force... then I found out you can't cross boundaries in that direction (ethereal to prime...). Oh well it sure gave Veridan a shock when I hit him im the ether... hehe
Also remember to spend all your money... afterall 2k sitiing in the bank doesn't put a bow in your hands in the arena... (I was being indecisive with the last bit of my cash and missed the deadline)...
Maybe in the next one I'll try a spellcaster... but I am going to wait for a more normal arena game, these wacky dungeons and other planar arenas are bit too out there for me.
I am glad I made second, but it was very close. Frankly I was a bit surprised by the waiting game it turned into, but then I think I showed I had little patience for waiting (afterall I had 2 scroll of Etherealness and could have stayed ethereal for the entire combat).
Good game all around.
Mal-2 with Farus (actual spelling, Macbrea mispelled it in the game menu and then it stuck)-- You played a very good game, showing just enough patience. I originally feared you and Agladen the most. Thus I tried to take out the 'smaller fish' first.
Agladen with Kanyano--You had alot of surprises up your sleave. That Tanglefoot bag is a b
ch... I hadn't given it too much thought in our sitdown games as creatures die so quickly they don't have the time to get it off... it really interfered with my abilities and in the end cost me the game (well that and the harpoon...)
Single Malt with Single Malt-- Very well played with the D-Door. too bad it didn't work out as smoothly as it could have.
Number 47 with Dabbil-- good god you grew to power so damn fast... that was your downfall.
Clockworkjoe with Meme-- Very nice use of your cohort and followers.
Green slime with Verdin--Soo close. If you hadn't tried stepping through my control zone in the ether you would have been a contender. But then who expcts that Cleric like guy to have levels of Planar Champoin?
Dr. Midnight as Dr. Midnight--Too bad about the Hold Person... you were dishing out some good damage, but in the end I couldn't let a mere follower get the kill for you. That probably cost me the game, as once I stopped waiting and bidding my time it was on...
Kitoy with Dondarrion-Impressive team work with you and Agladen... Too bad about the scythe...
Sollir Furryfoot with Garion-- Hmmm, I too was planning a mage type, but an evocer. However I found the spell list and choices a little daunting in the short time I had too prepare (two weeks to read all those spells...). In the end you showed resilience in the face of insurmountable enemies.
All in a very good game.

hey where is the original GoD thread nowadays? I looked for it to check my point standings and couldn't find the thread at all.
