NG vs. N: Neutral Good Victorious!

[Gansk]

Round 519: Ullus' position shifts to 15N15E as he polymorphs into a huge tree.

BBB charges to 35N35E and slams for 14-10 plus 5 fire. Ullus has 86 hp.

Round 520: Ullus slams twice for 31-10. BBB has 61 hp.

BBB slams once for 25-10 plus 2 fire. Ullus has 69 hp.

Ullus goes first in round 521. He resists the extreme heat.

 

[Greybar]

Ullus continues to try to get good swipes in on the burning wicker-man. He knows it's going to be a close thing.

(Full Attack. I'm willing to keep on the Full Attack until my hp drop below to 35 or below, or BBB changes tactics)

 

[Gansk]

Round 521: Ullus slams twice for 32-10. BBB has 39 hp.

BBB slams twice for 38-20 plus 10 fire. Ullus has 41 hp.

Round 522: Ullus takes 4 heat damage. Then he slams once for 18-5 and burns himself for 8 fire in the process. BBB has 26 hp, Ullus has 29 hp. Ullus still has a move action left in this round, or he can take his second attack.

 

[Greybar]

Ullus will hold off on the second attack, but I think any move that would prevent a full attack back would provide an AoO due to reach, so I'll just stay put.

Time Compress beyond that:
* After (hopefully) soaking up another pile o' damage, Ullus will use his standard action to Lay on Hands on self for maximum healing.
* Then return to the beatdown until BBB is dead or hp drop below 50.

 

[Gansk]

BBB slams twice for 41-20 plus 8 fire. Ullus has 0 hp left!

Round 523: Ullus resists the heat and heals back up to 75 hp.

BBB slams twice for 34-20 plus 9 fire. Ullus has 52 hp left.

Round 524: Ullus takes 6 heat damage and has 46 hp left. What does he do now?

Btw the wall of fire has disappeared.

Did Ullus lose his 1 hit point because he acted when he started the round at 0 HP? The hit point loss happens after the action is completed, so he would heal, and then lose the hit point.

I just want to point out that this is a huge source of debate. It's the ole' cure minor wounds at 0hp craziness. On the other hand, that's the way I've seen it ruled here in the arena (lose the hp anyway), so it should be consistent.

 

[Gansk]

OK, Ullus has 45 hp.

You are right that it makes cure minor wounds useless in this case, although the rules are very clear about losing the hit point. The rules of the game article even addresses curing yourself when you are at 0 hit points. I suppose if you want cure minor wounds to be useful when you have 0 hit points, have someone else cast it on you.

Ullus polymorphs back to a monadic deva, and rushes up into the air again, feeling that this wasn't the most productive sequence he could have executed.

(Std: Defensive SLA polymorph, causing location to now be 20N20E0Z, then MEA flying backward to 15N15E then straight up to 15N15E40Z)
