Tournament of Champions CR .5 to 5 (Archive)

Huzzah! Drek pulls the hammer from his belt and tries to make the (little) fella regret entering the arena. [I think with enlarge it's +2 attack, damage 2d6+2]. Then he steps back to 45n 10e.

OOC: would the +4 AC vs. giants apply, or does a half-giant get the good w/o the bad (don't have the book)?

OOC: A half-giant is of the giant type, so the +4 dodge bonus should apply. Also, the attack bonus should not change due to enlargement, because the +1 from increased Strength is offset by the -1 due to increased size.
 

OOC: Yes, you are right about the AC bonus vs. giants. Thanks for reminding me.

Hujarlk's armor stops the warhammer cold! (Rolled 12)

Round 5!
 

Hujarlk whirls the greatsword about his head and bring it hurtling into the not-so-pint-sized dwarf.

(Advance from 35N10E to 40N10E, Attack!)

(Wash rinse repeat for three cycles if the dwarf just sticks with the hammer)
 

Hujarlk pounds through Drek's defenses! (Rolled 22)

14 points of damage! Drek is dying!

"The winner, by standard victory after 5 rounds, Huuuuuuuuujarrrrrrrrrlk!"
 

“And now continuing on with our second semifinal match of the CR 1 edition of the Tournament of Champions! This match features the best of the Lawful Good forces against the best of the Chaotic Neutral forces.”

Making her way into the arena and starting at position 115N0E, this combatant measures 5 foot 1 inches tall and weighs 149 pounds. She is undefeated with a record of two wins, zero losses, and one draw. Her last victory was over Chaotic Evil‘s minor flame snake. Representing the forces of Lawful Good, please welcome the zenythri Lancela Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite!”

Lancela White enters the arena to polite applause. She looks like a perfect human. Her skin has a slightly blue tint, but is flawlessly smooth. Her hair has a slightly purple tint, but falls effortlessly around her perfect face. She wears no armor to protect her slightly tubby form, but she does have a sheathed scimitar and readies a light crossbow in her hands.

“And now making his way into the arena and starting at position 60N115E, this combatant measures 3 feet tall and weighs 40 pounds. He has a record of two wins, one loss, and zero draws. His last victory was over Lawful Neutral’s bladeling. Representing the forces of Chaotic Neutral, please welcome the feral slasher Feeeeeeeerrrrrrrrris!”

The hoots and hollers of the Chaotic Neutral faction turn into derisive laughter as Ferris enters. The weirdest thing about this small hyena isn’t the abnormally puffy, crazy fur or the wild look in its eyes, or even the fierce razor-sharp teeth, it’s the fact that Ferris walks upright. In preparation, Ferris scarfs down a couple of rat-dogs he bought at the Shearing Pen to give him a quick energy boost.

Psybo communicates telepathically to the two combatants. “Lancela, you will have initiative in the first round unless the Lawful Good representative tells me otherwise.”

Ding Ding! Round 1!
 

(OOC: Wow, that's a surprise. I was really, really worried that the +4 dodge would put him out of my league. Looks like I was lucky.)
 

Before Lancela can react, Pip enters the arena and hands Ferris a multicolored band with a single feather in it, symbolic of his easy victory over the bladeling. Ferris finishes the rat-on-a-stick in his hand and straps the band to his head. Then, thinking that's it, he runs to 110N5E in front of Lancela.
