[OOC] House Millithor in City of the Spider Queen

[Thels]

There'll be a little problem with Dariel going 1on1 with a dwarf though. He's not build for singlehanded combat, as he doesn't do much damage without sneaking. I could up my armor to 25 by fighting defensively, but that's not all that great.

I still got a summon spell though. If I'd levitate, then cast the summon spell behind my opponent, and and flank attack him, I could perhaps pull out one round of devastating damage before it turns my summon to shreds. It would waste my spell though, which I can't recover anywhere soon.

I got 5k, which I'll happily donate into the pot that's going to be used to raise me

Your AC is a bit low. I suppose you could borrow a decent armour from some other member of the group. Even with +7 Dexterity you'd be much better of in a light armour than in Bracers. Pick whichever equipment in the group you think would fit you the best. I think everyone will agree to lend you an item or two for the duration of the battle.

 

[Thels]

Keep in mind that I can only wear light armor. Anything beyond that would both subtract ACP from my attack roll and make me lose TWF, ITWF, Evasion, etc...

The armor of either of my brothers would raise the total by 1, which seems too much of a hassle, as a simple armor spell by Quertus does the same.

No, I would not be happy as an undead.

 

[Serpenteye]

I really don't think you need to worry. Quertus has volunteered to cast Stoneskin on you and you could get a number of other buffs. The Dwarf will likely not have access to Dispell... You'll do fine.

Something we need to consider, for both Dariel's and Quertus' fights, is that any short duration buffs will likely expire before the fight has even begun. If I understand things correctly both contestants will stand around in the arena for a couple of minutes while the bets are being placed. Displacement (and possibly some other spells) would therefore be unusable.

Commonly known information: The War Trolls of House Millithor were stronger, faster, more intelligent, and tougher than average trolls (game mechanic: war trolls had better than average stats, possibly had levels in Barbarian, Fighter, or Warrior, and wore masterwork armor).

Trygon appears to be bigger and stronger and tougher looking than any of the War Trolls that House Millithor used to own. He has magic items. Further, he has better stats and more levels or maybe he has a template, or maybe both.

If anybody does a gather information around the arena, they will discover various humanoids who have seen Trygon in action.

Rumors About Trygon
1. He is immune to fire and acid.
2. He is really a Titan in disguise.
3. He fought in the Blood War (extra-planar war between Demons and Devils).
4. He can jump anywhere in the arena cage in a single leap.
5. His fangs and claws are poisonous.
6. He is a shape-changed Green Dragon and can exhale a poisonous cloud that can fill the entire arena with a deadly gas.
7. He has slain everyone he has fought, including several wizards who thought their fire and acid spells would affect him.

While both contestants might stand around for a few minutes before a fight begins, the arena is a very chaotic place, and the fight might begin immediately once the second person enters the arena.

Rumors About Trygon
1. He is immune to fire and acid.

Frankly, this is the only thing that worries me, even though I doubt the "Immune" part (at least in both). But if he's half-red dragon and has a magic item that gives even 10 points of acid resistance...

Hmm... Detect Magic + (Greater) Dispel Magic time.

 

[TWK]

Hey guys,

It's me, The Whiner Knight. Just dropping a line to let you know that my previous screen name doesn't seem to work right now, so I've set up another account and am now posting under TWK.

As, of course, you can tell....

My character has meet DM approval, just need to add and subtract a few more things from the background and I should be done and ready to go tonight.

Marckarius comes to his senses. He thinks to himself, that never happened. I remember visiting the fine riding lizard this morning, but I never encountered three Illithids. I don't even remember there not being any staff around. Strange how one of the Illithids in my dream looks alot like the Illithid in the arena down below.
