NG vs. NE: Neutral Evil is Victorious!

[Greybar]

My fault. I forgot to update my grid when he 5ft-stepped. Man, this gets complicated. I think I have to defer to Gansk and his interpretations of the compulsion that Oeric is afflicted by. I think all of the options either:
* put him into a BB or WoFire that he isn't SR-immune to.
* squeeze him
* break full-attack compulsion
So I need to know which order I should take those (i.e. how "mindless" he is). Since Gansk has already had him keep attacking without making a 5ft step while continuing the full attack to avoid an ongoing burning wall, I'm guessing that he's pretty mindless.

oh, and we need Sun Tsu's full attack (as referenced earlier)

 

[Gansk]

Round 282: Sun misses the full attack (highest roll 31+2).

The wall of fire burns Oeric for 28+14. Then Oeric jumps to 95N45E, squeezing.

Round 283: Oeric heals to 197 hp and flails away while continuing to squeeze.

Oeric still hits six times for a total of 78+7-60.

Sun heals 5 hp and has 19 hp on his turn in round 283.

I think Sun Tzu should have been given an AoO when Oeric jumped to avoid the blades.

Sun Tzu steps to 95N55E and takes another full attack, then puts in another wall of fire, this one from the east to the west wall at 105N, facing north.

 

[Gansk]

The AoO misses (rolled 25+2).

Sun has already used up all of his Walls of Fire today.

 

[PJSlavner]

Sun Tzu has only used two Walls of Fire. In yesterday's 5:06 AM post, he put up a blade barrier (called wall of blades in the post) at 45E which did not affect Oeric, but Sun Tzu still has a wall of fire available.

 

[Gansk]

Oops, my mistake.

Possible problem #2 - a squeezing Oeric occupies a 10 x 10 space, so no part of Oeric would be crossing the wall of fire. If that is Sun's intention, then flame away!

Round 283: Sun hits once for 18+2-5.

Oeric heals to 184 hp and will take his turn if the wall of fire is acceptable.

 

[PJSlavner]

That is not the intention. I thought a squeezing Oeric occupied a 10 x 15 space. I did not know that a huge creature could occupy a 10 x 10 space, because that would be less than half the number of squares occupied.

The wall of fire is at 100N instead of 105N, and Sun Tzu did not step north, instead he stayed at 90N55E.

Oeric should still have taken damage from the wall of fire at 50E that is damaging him every round.

Gansk[sblock]Why does Sun get a +2 to hit? He has weapon finesse, so bull's strength should not help. Sorry about this. I should have noticed this sooner. Maybe Sun did not hit one of those times he hit.[/sblock]

 

[Gansk]

I see, Oeric can only squeeze in one dimension. My mistake again.

Sun steps north and puts the wall at 105N as originally intended.

The north wall has no effect (23 CL check). The wall at 50E burns Oeric for 27+13.

Round 284: Oeric heals to 144 hp and hits four times for a total of 50+4-40.

Sun heals 5 hp and has 10 hp on his turn.

 

[PJSlavner]

Sun Tzu will take a full attack, then step to the north, burning himself (no SR against his own spell, I presume) and giving Oeric the victory. Sun Tzu will not burn himself unless the wall of fire burns Oeric before Sun Tzu burns himself.

Should I look up the next Neutral Evil combatant?

 

[Gansk]

No, I have to figure out how many of these spells remain in the arena and I don't have time right now.
