Tournament of Champions CR .5 to 5 (Archive)

Pip claps Ferris on the back and says, "Go get her!" Then, he scurries out of the arena. Ferris growls menacingly and then charges to 95N20E and tries to take a bite out of the zenythri, his new feather dangling precariously.

Ferris' teeth sink easily into Lancela's flesh. (Rolled 25+2) 2 points of damage! Lancela has 3 hp left and drops her crossbow. (Rolled 6 Will save)

Lancela runs out of the arena!

"The winner, by forced exit after 1 round, Ferrrrrrrrrrrrrrissssssssssss!"

"Come back next week when we will have our much anticipated final between Neutral Good and Chaotic Neutral!"
 

Ferris looks momentarily surprised and then runs after his meal. He stops near the exit when an unseen spectator tosses out another feather, which Ferris unceremoniously sticks into his headband. Someone else throws out a few more rat-dogs and Ferris enjoys a well-deserved meal.

OOC: Anyone else think Ferris is under-CR'ed? ;)
 

Under CR'd, definitely under CR'd.

Lancela did not think Ferris would be able to attack the first round. She must not have been paying attention during Ferris's first bout. :\
 

When Lancela moved up, I thought she was just trying to get it over with quickly. That 60ft movement is really over-the-top. Oh wait, maybe it's the special attacks. :)

I got the CC people to up the CR to 2, but they haven't done it yet. Apparently they have to delete the entry and retype it to get it to sort as CR 2 in the database.
 

(One week later.)

“Ladies, gentlemen, and genderless creatures! Welcome back to witness our final match of the CR 1 edition of the Tournament of Champions! This highly anticipated match features the best of the Neutral Good forces against the best of the Chaotic Neutral forces.”

Making his way into the arena and starting at position 115N60E, this combatant measures 7 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 265 pounds. He has an impressive record of five wins, one loss, and zero draws. His last victory was over Lawful Evil’s duergar. Representing the forces of Neutral Good, please welcome the half-giant Huuuuuujarrrrrrrrrrrrlk!”

Hujarlk enters to the cheers of the Neutral Good faction of the audience. He wears scale mail and has an unusually big javelin strapped to his side. He holds an unusually big great sword in his two powerful 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 three wins, one loss, and zero draws. His last victory was over Lawful Good’s zenythri. Representing the forces of Chaotic Neutral, please welcome the feral slasher Feeeeeeeerrrrrrrrris!”

The hoots and hollers of the Chaotic Neutral faction spur on Ferris as he 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, then straps on a multi-colored band with a single feather to his head.

Psybo communicates telepathically to the two combatants. “This is it, guys. I expect it to be quick and bloody. Neutral Good will have initiative unless he states otherwise. Now go at it!”

“Cue the music. Lets get ready to rumbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull!”
 

Hujarlk gives his customary salute and lumbers forward to take up a ready posture.

(MEA to 100E50E, Std: Readied attack)
 

Ferris snarls furiously at Psybo, blaming the psionic brachiasaurus for his missing second feather. Then he turns towards the big galoot and charges to 95N55E with an open maw. Hujarlk looks like nothing more than a well-armored muffin.
 

Hujarlk swings clumsily with his readied attack. (Rolled 6)

The momentum of the charge propels teeth to thigh! (Rolled 11+2) 4 points of damage!

Hujarlk drops his sword and runs like a baby! (Rolled 6 Will save)

"The winner and CR 1 champion - Ferrrrrrrrrrrrrisssssssssss!"

"Come back soon for the CR 2 edition of the Tournament of Champions. Remember to leave orderly or suffer the consequences. Here's a demonstration."

Psybo very nearly stomps on Ferris (payback for the snarl), and the earth shakes enough to knock the little pipsqueak over. "I'm sorry, do you need another precious feather?"
