ooc: any minions, cohorts, entourage, mounts I should know about before we get started?
 I imagine Latro riding a spider, with a cohort riding a T-Rex, each with a bat familiar... the whole Adams family! 

There's me, my Cohort, Tiaca, and her familiar, Avi.
And your not wrong about Latro riding in on a spider. If i could, i totally would. But for now, my minions (named after spider genuses) will carry him in on a blackened throne.

 For his return to the Arena after such a long absence, Josep has decided to try something new. He makes sure that the technicians he has sent to install the brand new big screen have finished their job before the preparation actually starts.

 Waving to the crowd, he shows off the belt, just to remind everyone that this is no mere battle – the Champion title is at stake.

 The magician turns to Latro and raises his chin:
  "We meet again... I hope you are ready for something new."
 Josep turns to the ref, gets the green light, and so it begins.

 A quickened classic first, and Josep invites illusory doubles to the party. They obfuscate his next action a little bit, but that much is clear: he drew a scroll, and then everything went blurry, as all the double seemed to merge in a whirlwind of actions... better look at the Jumbotronik for the replay ;)

DICE ROLLS:
Josep Gavinho rolled 3 using 1d20 with rolls of 3.  prep round Prescience Roll.
Josep Gavinho rolled 5 using 1d4+4 with rolls of 1.  Mirror Image.
Josep Gavinho rolled 3 using 1d4+1 with rolls of 2.  Time Stop.

   SUMMARY: Josep casts Mirror Image (quickened), draws a scroll, and casts Time Stop. Time Stops for 3 rounds. D stays in place. 

  ooc: for ease of reading, I'll post the "Time Stop Rounds" as a separate post each, coming right up

You're telling me you have a +17 to your caster level check at lvl 14? That's absurd.

+16 actually ; I got my maths wrong.
 And the DC is 1 + scroll's caster level, so DC18.
 This should definitely read "total 19 vs DC18".

   No one really sees what is happening during that preparation round, but the Slow Motion Replay on the new Arena Jumbotronik screen will inform the crowd...

 Josep casts a major divination spell, then a minor divination spell. His eyes glow turquoise. He now knows all.

 He draws an other Scroll, clears his throat, and prepares to read.

   SUMMARY: Josep casts Greater Arcane Sight and Quickened See Invisibility, then draws a Scroll. 

ooc: Josep automatically identifies all magic items and active spells within 120ft, if you could mention what these are in your next post that would be great.
 I know we said no invisibility, but I forgot to update my spell list for 6th level and I have no other quickened buff...

   Josep keeps on going, moving so fast that no one can see anything, the world has simply stopped around him.

  He starts reading from an other scroll, and nothing happens for a while... until this appears:
http://d20pfsrd.opengamingnetw...017/01/hezrou-jr.png

 Somehow Josep seems disappointed by his minion ; maybe he was hoping for more.

ooc: phew! longest round and post ever. you're up. 

Latro is good to go

Prep round 1 preamble

Latro's side of the arena opens and a pool of black mist wafts outward heralding the arrival of the arena's very own master of evil.

Latro enters the arena carried on a throne of black ivory by his mighty vassal, Ugrim. Latro's handmaiden and her pet are close behind him. Ugrim sets the throne down and Latro steps off waving ugrim away. As he's about to begins his preparation, Latro notices that theres a new addition to the arena.

He scoffs. "What is this strange apparatus? Something to let the crowd see you die qui..." before he can finish his sentence suddenly there are two whole monsters glaring him down and Josep is in the middle of summoning a third. Latro looks them up and down and then back to the screen which is moving to show Josep's exact movements at an incredibly reduced rate. what few shots of himself he sees appear to be frozen in time.

He looks to his handmaiden. "Is that even legal? Certainly there must be some stupid law or something that disallows this sort of rubbish."
Tiaca grimaces and inhales sharply, shrugging her shoulders.

"Damnations." Latro curses. "I had forgotten just how absurdly powerful these blasted mages can be."
"What do we do, my lord?" Tiaca quivers. "He can see right through us with those eyes of his. He'll know all our magics by now."
Latro straightens his armor and glares down mage himself. "We fight. And we die trying to win what should have been mine ages ago."
"But, my master..."
Latro speaks to his handmaiden in the language of the dark elves now. [Language unknown: Itecil thool eesier und esek thotinone-ndestr of nackreec and u our etma. St t staek rea titita, omate larkorour ssna vir fineit. Derwi ev il ilour ntet hat ssce o uret anysetnti, Evevirnde ssro ni ersaveard erar ameearessmen loacasos lat.]
I... I understand.


OOC: Actual prep round coming momentarily. I just had a Role Playing itch i needed to scratch with what just happened.
This message was last edited by the player at 15:53, Thu 07 Dec 2017.

but first, a question for the ref and a question for josep

ref: Seeing as all prep rounds happen simultaneously, nothing Josep can do can hinder me from anything i can attempt. Using this logic, Josep's arcane sight wont truly be active until the start of the first non-prep round so if i can obscure his vision in some way, i should be able to avoid having to spill the beans on my gear, correct?

Josep: Can you speak any languages that your new summoned friends can also speak because if not, i'm going to end up hiding some of my actions from you.


Edit: Actually, i don't think Josep is allowed to summon a Hezrou demon which would render my need for an answer on my question to Josep unnecessary.



As a Hezrou demon is both Chaotic and Evil and Josep is, as we all know, true neutral, this makes him two whole alignment steps away from the demon, making it an illegal summon.

As such i would request the demon be removed, the spell wasted, and Josep's first of three strikes issued.
Nothing against you Josep, I'm just at a serious disadvantage and i'm using every rules lawyer trick i know to even the playing field at least a little bit before you blast me to smithereens.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:08, Thu 07 Dec 2017.

I share a language with the Hezrou, but not with the Crocodile.
FIY I also speak Elf, Drow, Infernal and Abyssal.
I’d like to know what you said to your squire, when you have a chance :)

I’d like to point out that my seeing you doesn’t hinder you in any way, I’m just looking ;)
With very very keen eyes, I admit, but still just looking.

Ah, i placed it as undercommon in the private line bit which i suppose is the same thing so
"Ignore his beasts and aim everything you possibly have at that mage. If we kill him first, the beasts will soon follow. And if we kill him but die to his beasts, Josep will at least live disgraced following this"

and, all's i'm saying is that if i can cast a spell that obscures your vision -  e. i. deeper darkness, obscuring mist, something like that -  before you cast arcane sight (which technically i can because you cast it after you cast time stop), then you won't be able to see me or my gear, technically speaking.

I mean, and admittedly this is getting super technical, if we break down the prep rounds into it's time components you would take your move action to draw a scroll the same time I would be casting a spell to obscure vision. You would then cast your scroll and take all other actions as part of time stop when i take my move action, whatever that may be.

this is only possible because prep rounds occur at the exact same time so we can look at them side by side. At any other point beyond a prep round, i wouldn't be trying to get this lawyer-y. There would be no real logical way i could finagle around you seeing my stuff other than beyond requesting a will save to negate your ability to freely know what my junk is without taking the time to roll spellcraft for it. :P Which i might as well put in the request for while i'm at it. Can we get that on the books? Are the books a thing? Are they virtual books? I'm rambling. Work makes me crazy.


But so, yes, tl;dr
Final word on the Hezrou requested per my other post and rules finagling to try and avoid josep knowing what my stuff is without him actually putting in effort or giving me a will save.

I missed that bit when I did my summoning homework.
I’ll wait for Brakt to issue his final judgment on that, although I would of course prefer to be given an other monster instead...

Ruling on prep rounds:



Effects made can't stop any other characters prep round, regardless of the order of actions. As Time Stop does make Joseps 1 round the equivalent of 4, Greater Arcane Sight will see Latro.  Please note that this will not identify the items, only the Aura strength of each item and the sum of all effects on Latro.

Ruling on Summoned Hezrou:

As Josep is unable to summon the monster, the spell fizzles as though he had failed the CL check.  Josep can choose to keep the scroll in hand and continue with his crocodile, or can opt to summon a different monster from the Level 9 Scroll.  Josep is issued with a Foul(Warning).
This message was last edited by the player at 08:50, Fri 08 Dec 2017.

Just to be clear, you’re saying that because of my choosing an invalid target, the spell fails and the scroll is not expanded. I then have to choose between A-  keeping that scroll in hand and carry on with my SMVII or B-try and cast SMIX from the scroll again.

I chose the latter and will have an updated post shortly.

Latro, you can send that list of auras, school and intensity.
If you need a guideline, please refer to :

Retcon of Josep's 3/3 Time Top rounds
   Josep is stil a blur, surrounded by illusory doubles and too fast to be seen.
 His attempt to bring a Demon to the arena had failed... he knew he should not have tampered with the demonic arts! Not against Latro, a master of the genre....
 Swearing internally, he tries his luck again with the scroll, this time deciding to go for a monster he is actually familiar with...
 Again, nothing happens at first...

Josep Gavinho rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6.  Time Stop round 3/3 Prescience Roll.
Josep Gavinho rolled 5 using 1d4+1 with rolls of 4.  Summon Greater Air Elementals.

   SUMMARY: Josep casts Summon Monster IX – nothing happens until right before his next turn, when Air Elementals will appear.
 (to be placed on the map later based on Latro's position at that time)
 

ooc: Prep rounds redone. I'll edit the superseded post. I just realised I should have kept all of this secret until right before my turn (ie after your own prep round) – no big deal I hope. 

I'll create a separate post exclusively for this after i take my prep round.

Ok, so uh, here's a thing. And i'm going to feel like an ass for doing this but, i need to point out something about Josep's turn again.

Air elementals.

These guys fly. Infact that's their only listed form of movement. no ground speed, no swim speed, no burrow speed. Just flying. As soon as those guys hit the arena, josep will be in violation of our agreed upon conditions of "no flying". Yeah, they can move around at ground level but the fact that their method of movement is still flying is the problem. (unless you're summoning a variant that has a listed speed other than fly but it doesn't seem you are as you just said "air elementals")

As such, i have to request that what happened when Josep summoned the Hezrou demon happen once again with these air elementals - a spell fizzle and another foul.

I'm going to go ahead with my prep round and get that list of Auras and whatnot to you as well. Whatever the outcome of Brakt's decision, it will be your turn on round 1 and i'll start the 48 hour timer after brakt's ruling or when i've made my last post. Whichever comes last.

This is not going great for Josep.

I would argue that as long as they’re not moving, they’re not flying. They either just stand somewhere (if at ground level) or hover (if in mid air). No flying can be a rather vague term, I suppose. But it doesn’t say that we can’t have creatures in play that would need to fly to move around.

I was going to have them crawl around, but seeing as you point out that they don’t have any other movement form than fly, and flying is forbidden, they will remain static.

Why didn’t I summon Earth elementals you ask? I don’t know. Got carried away I suppose.

Tiaca draws a scroll from her pouch and reads it. Suddenly, she sees everything as it truly is. Her familiar follows close behind. Making sure to stay with her master. (Scroll of True Seeing.)

Latro quickly summons a cloud of darkness to surround himself and his handmaiden before taking any other action. Everything else is a mystery to joseph. Josep however is quickly enveloped by the darkness as it moves across the arena to swallow him and submerge him into shadows, rendering him, his dodo, and any other monsters he may summon blind. (with the exception of those that have darkvision, obviously.)

As long as i'm not standing in a corner of the arena, everything is trapped in my deeper darkness so i'm not going to bother putting any "~" on the map unless absolutely necessary.

OOC: Ok, i think that about does it for my prep round. I'm pretty certain everything is in order. Josep, expect a post containing my auras, school, and intensity soon. that's not something i think to keep on hand so i'm going to have to go do some research on it all.

Requested information.
Brakt is free to provide any corrections as he sees fit though i believe everything i provided falls in line with what i was told I had to say.

quote:

Please note that this will not identify the items, only the Aura strength of each item and the sum of all effects on Latro

Latro:
Belt - Aura: Strong
Chain Coat (Mithral) - Aura: Strong
Headband - Aura: Strong
Ioun Stone - Aura: Strong
Longbow (Composite) - Aura: Moderate
Arrows (50) - Aura: Moderate

Effects currently active on Latro:
Deeper Darkness - Aura: Faint
All antipaladin Auras - Aura: Strong


Tiaca:
Belt - Aura: Moderate
Cloak - Aura: Faint
Headband - Aura: Moderate
Potion x1 - Aura: Faint
Scroll x1 - Aura: Faint

Effects currently on Tiaca:
True seeing - Aura: Faint


Avi:
None

Items without auras or magical properties have been excluded so it is safe to say they are not magical.

Latro, at the moment it looks like neither you or Tacia took any move action, I suppose that is an oversight?
Otherwise you’re still where you were when your turn started.

I’ve rolled my perception check against your stealth:
 Josep Gavinho rolled 21 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 4.  Perception check (opposed to stealth in prep round)

Can you pinpoint your location (and Tacia’s and the skunk’s) on the map?

I’ll get my post up shortly, as soon as I hear from Brant whether I can summon immobile Air Elementals or not.

Latro moved to E9.

Tiaca and her skunk are both in J3.

And i'm pretty certain i indicated who moved where before the darkness got thrown up. Latro just moved after the darkness was set up.

but then again i guess that goes back to the whole prep rounds can't cause hinderances thing?

Ruling regarding Air Elemental:

Josep summons the elemental successfully, consuming the scroll and his action in the process.  Upon asking the Elemental to politely stop flying, it refuses, and goes back to the Plane of Air. For breaching the agreed rules, Josep is awarded a second Foul(50% rewards)

Fair enough — I should have done my homework before I start summoning things... and I was this close to going Earth Elementals! So much for my Time Stop rounds...

   Josep feels very alone all of a sudden. He was supposed to be surrounded with beasts and monsters, demons and elementals and crocodiles, to fight the might Latro... but no luck. He was very alone. Well he still had the dodo, that was something.

 Considering he didn't see much, if anything, in that extreme darkness, targeting his foes was going to be an other problem...

 Josep first cast a fun spell, always a hit at parties he was invited to... in the south of the arena, Black Tentacles emerged from the ground, coiling and prodding and generally going in all the places around Latro's body to restrain his movements. His minions were out of the effect range.

 Josep then cast a second spell... with no obvious apparent effect.

Josep Gavinho rolled 1 using 1d20 with rolls of 1. Round 1 prescience roll.

   SUMMARY: Josep casts Quickened Black Tentacles (and then something else) and doesn't move
 Barring any CMD/Grappling shenanigans, Latro takes 10 damage and is grappled. The area is also difficult terrain.
 DC39 to break the grapple.
 

ooc: back to basics....

Sorry, I just realised that the DC to break te grapple is 29, not 39.

Yeah, i was about to say, i thought that was a little high. :P

So anyways, the other thing i was going to say was:

08:27, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 36 using 1d20+21 with rolls of 15.  Latro spell Craft check to identify spell.
08:30, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 17 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 4.  Tiaca spellcraft to identify spell.
08:30, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 20 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 11.  Avi spellcraft to identify spell.

Do i know what you're doing with that unnamed spell?


(just for reference, Latro can currently identify a lvl 9 spell from 120 feet away with the check he made so i think i know what you just cast.)

Edit: also, wouldn't the black tentacles need to roll vs 50% concealment? They don't have dark vision after all and they are making an attack roll in the form of a CMB grapple roll against something the one that summoned it cannot accurately see.

You identify the spell as a Wall of Force.

Black Tentacles automatically grapple anyone in the area, they don’t roll for an attack in the first place and they don’t rely on sight to initiate grapple.

Interesting. ok so

Tiaca has True Seeing right now. That means she can see the wall, correct?



Automatically is a pretty strong word there. The tentacles do target everything in their area with a combat maneuver but they still have to roll to see if they grapple anything. And aren't combat maneuver checks attack rolls?

I’ll leave it for Brakt to decide on both accounts.
I don’t think True Seeing reveals anything, hence I didn’t make it open information.
Black Tentacles only roll for grapple check, not the attack roll that usually precedes a grapple check. Grapple checks are not subject to concealment as far as I know. And the tentacles don’t have eyes to begin with, they don’t know whether it’s dark or not.

Ruling on Tentacles: Spell doesn't rely on sight to grapple, hence no concealment check needed.

Ruling on Wall: Wall is invisible as made of pure force, and not due to magic. As such, Wall isn't seen by true sight. Since Latro knows the wall has been cast, he can use a free perception check to locate the wall at DC20.  Alternatively, he can act as normal and be advised after completing his turn if affected by the wall.

Latro, between your check and your entourage’s I can’t imagine you ll fail the DC20, so here goes:
 Wall of Force stretches from A4 to J4, and you can tell it doesn’t go all the way to the ceiling of the arena.

Afflicted with the curse of his oracle's nature, Latro decides the best corse of action at this point is to assume a completely defensive stance.

Tiaca was suddenly alone and not covered by her master's darkness. An invisible wall had appeared blocking the blanket of darkness from reaching her. She was trapped with the champion and Latro could not save her.
She started hyperventilating.
'It's fine. It's ok. I can handle myself. This is for my lord. He will smile upon me for my efforts.'
She regains a cool head looks toward Josep. "Hear me now, guildmaster. I am Aurantiaca, personal bodyguard and handmaiden to the mighty Latro Dectus. I may fall this day, but your tricks do not deceive these eyes of mine. You will know suffering at the behest of my master. Your pain shall herald him and you will fall to his might."
She draws a scroll from her pouch and waits.

   SUMMARY: Latro goes defensive, Tiaca and her familiar ready actions.

OOC: Ok, let's see what happens.

Latro, I understand that your darkness aura doesn't extend beyond the wall (which incidentally makes the position of the wall very obvious now!)
Could you clarify what items and active spells are now visible on Tiaca?

I should also note that Tiaca has no move action listed, and nothing saying she drew a scroll, I hope that is correct cause I'm not really inclined to say I'll let you retcon that.

Tiaca and Avi have the same effects as they did last time. And yeah, that was my mistake. I'll have to have her draw her scroll next turn. Please continue as if she did not have a scroll in hand.

Seeing as there are readied actions, I'll post my round in bits. Please bear with me...

   Josep hears the maiden and has to admit her dedication is impressive.
  "Very well, miss Aurantiaca. Let's take care of you first then..."
  "But why master ?! Let's focus on Latro..." objected the dodo.
  "Uh, you can speak? I want Latro to see what's coming for him, and what happens to his dear servant. We can't see him, behind that wall, but he can see us."

 Josep drops his scroll to draw a rod, and casts a spell, quickly so.

   SUMMARY: Josep draws a rod and casts Quickened Admonishing Ray. If the Admonishing Ray works out, Tiaca takes 42 force damage.
  On the other side of the wall, Latro takes 7 damage from Black Tentacles
 

ooc: just to be clear, my turn isn't over yet; I'm waiting to see the result of that first spell.

Before i decide to take my readied action, I'm going to ask you to re-roll the black tentacles grapple check because as it stands, it should be getting a +5 to maintain the grapple at that is not represented in it's grapple roll.

I'm not going to try and foul you for something like that. But i'll take my chances in having you re-roll it's attack in the hopes that it is too low to maintain the grapple. ;)

I'll be back on in 12 or so hours. Time to go sell my soul to Amazon.

Fun Fact, Latro's patron Deity Jeff Bezos. :P

In reply to Latro Dectus (msg # 47):
  Josep Gavinho rolled 27 using 1d20+24 with rolls of 3.  Black Tentacles Grapple Check.

Here you go you lucky bastard ;)
No damage and you’re not grappled anymore.

I will take that shit and run with it.
Best part is Josep doesn't even know. technically speaking. :P

Now for the other part

---

Readied Action: If Josep Casts a spell of any kind, Cast Reach (Long) Scorching Ray.

As soon as the makings of an utterance leave Josep's mouth, Tiaca is ready. She had been murmuring the words to her own spell underneath her breath and in an instant, she responded. From her hands flew two rays of scorching fire. Josep's mirror images were nothing to her true vision so her flames would strike the real deal. It might not be enough to buy her an extra round in the arena but it was worth allowing her master the extra time he needed to escape the clutches of the black tentacles.


07:58, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 18,29 using 4d6,8d6 with rolls of 3,5,4,6,3,4,1,3,6,6,1,5.  scorching ray damage.
07:57, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 25 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 19.  Critical Ray.
07:56, Today: Latro Dectus rolled 14,26 using 1d20+6,1d20+6 with rolls of 8,20.  Tiaca Readied Scorching Ray vs Josep touch AC1014.

Josep takes a total of 40 damage from Tiaca's readied spell. He must make a concentration check DC (insert correct number here) or loose his current spell.

---

And that's all i got as far as Tiaca goes. Avi won't take her readied action just yet.

Brakt, I don’t know Tiaca’s abilities, but I’m going to assume all this is legit...
I’ll have the rest of my post up shortly.

Sorry for the delay...

   Josep starts casting and is hit fair and square in the face. He winces, wipes some blood and ash from his cheek, and turns back to Tiaca.
  "She packs a punch! You've learnt from watching the best..."

 It takes more than that though to break the guild master's concentration... his own spell is unleashed, knocking the air out of Tiaca's lungs.

 It is followed by an other spell of the same kind killing the maiden outright, and the little skunk takes a hit on the fly.

 Josep then casts a third spell, because he is done playing. He transforms into a huge being of fine sand and stone, dwarfing the two animals on that side of the wall. It is quite difficult for the crowd to see what happened to Josep actually, as he is still surrounded with five illusions of that huge earth-like creature...

Josep Gavinho rolled 12,16 using 4d6,4d6 with rolls of 2,3,3,4,4,6,2,4.  Admonishing Ray damage, Tiaca.

Josep Gavinho rolled 27 using 1d20+24 with rolls of 3.  Black Tentacles Grapple Check.

   SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE ROUND:
 Josep draws a rod and casts Quickened Admonishing Ray. Tiaca takes 42 force damage.
 Tiaca inflicts 40 fire damage to Josep.
 Josep casts Admonishing Ray again, Tiaca takes 28 force damage, Skunk takes 17 force damage.
 Josep uses a hero point to cast Elemental Body IV — he is now a Huge Earth Elemental.
 On the other side of the wall, Latro can ignore the grapple from Black Tentacles for a moment.
 Note that all damage from Admonishing Ray is non-lethal, Josep is such a nice guy.

ooc: that's it for now, unless Skunk has something to say in which case Dodo may have as well.

ooc: back to basics....

 Just to be clear, and before this becomes an issue, Josep polymorphed into a very humanoid-shaped Earth Elemental with very defined arm-like appendages to cast spells with somatic components. He may be big piece of rock, but he still has 16 dex and a craving to cast spells ;)

No foul, since it's on me, but. Tiaca would need to use a level 3 spell slot to prepare and cast Reach Scorching Ray.

Just opened up a vote in OOC. As the only impact is ~40 hp, feel free to continue as normal assuming Josep is at full HP until otherwise stated.  When I close the vote, any damage required will be applied to Josep at that time. (Approx 24 hours)

Are you absolutely certain you don't just want to be a giant rolling boulder with no definable features whatsoever? I'll let you change it for free right now. Come on, i know you want to. ;P

---

Latro knew his training in the Tar Pits of Koth would pay off in this battle against Josep. As he squirms free of the tentacles, he watches through the darkness as Tiaca's critical spell is suddenly suspended in time. Josep seems just as surprised as he and Tiaca are and he notices the judges are talking amongst themselves. Twas the power of the arena at work once more but this time it wasn't looking in his favor.

Regardless, Josep quickly takes Tiaca out with his spells and grows to new heights. Literally. Latro would have to answer this quickly while also escaping from the tentacles. Using his inherent magic Latro begins floating himself upward through the air and out of reach of the tentacles. But it wasn't enough. He needed more hight to escape Josep's new natural reach. It would take what little heroic reserves he had left, but in his mind, it was worth it. After all, even with arena intervention, Luck had favored him thus far. Perhaps it would continue to grace him till the end of the match.

Meanwhile, Avi begins rummaging around in Tiaca's pack and pulls a potion from her pouch. She begins uncorking the bottle and prepares to feed it to Tiaca as best she can.

DICE ROLLS:

   SUMMARY: Latro begins to levitate. Avi draws Tiaca's Potion.

OOC: Levitating isn't flying. I'm perfectly within the bounds of our agreement. ;)
Also, i just realized that the small arena is 50x50x50 so that gives me up to +10 to levitate to and means that the wall of force goes up to +9.
Catch me if you can, Josep.

So let me get this straight... moving whilst magically airborne doesn't go against the no flying rule, but hovering air elementals does. Interesting...
 I'm not questioning the legality of your move, there's actually a precedent to this, with Afrezza in Battle Royale #5.
 As long as you're not moving horizontally whilst airborne, you're not flying ;)

 FYI the Wall of Force reaches between +5 and +6 (28ft tall) 

   Josep does not let a little crafty thinking from his opponent spoils his mood or his strategy.

 The Huge Earth Elemental picks up the scroll he had dropped before, and starts casting whilst slowly sinking into the ground.

 He ignores the skunk.

   SUMMARY:
 Josep in Earth Elemental form picks up his Scroll and casts Summon Monster IX. Nothing happens yet.
 

Josep, i believe that scroll of Summon Monster IX had been consumed when you summoned the air elementals. Unless you had two scrolls of said spell and i didn't notice in which case, ignore me. :P

Reading back Brakt’s ruling, that appears to be the case...
I’ll need to repost my turn entirely, unless that’s my third foul and that’s game.

Josep attempts to grab a scroll which just isn't there.

While Josep attempts to chant the words from memory, he receives his 3rd Foul(DQ) and the match has ended.

If this is indeed game"

Latro is the victor by Disqualification.
He is Chaotic Evil, has 1,794 BP, and used 1 hero point during the match and 1 hero point to challenge the champion for a total of 2 hero points.

Josep is True Neutral, has 1,537 BP, spent 1 hero point and is Disqualified.
Sorry if I sound sour again, but there is no victor here.

Latro Wins by DQ.

Latro +512 BP, -1HP
Josep +150 BP, -1HP, -1 Championship Belt

Ref Brakt +416 BP

---

Calculations:
DUEL 1v1
Winner BP 1,794   Loser BP 1,537
Winner Reward 512 Loser Reward 150 - 50% rewards


Ref reward = (1654 + 200) / 8 = 416BP
