Cathain appeared on her starting spot in the arena with a dispassionate expression. Her the arena lights made her look even more gray than she already was but it didn't bother her the least. Realizing the fight was about to commence she pulled a potion from her belt and swallowed its contents, dropping the empty container on the ground. She then unfurled her spiked chain from her shoulder and pulled another potion from her belt, she would down it the next round.

ooc: I know I'm gonna hate myself for that later... Unless Gwendol's touch AC was "9" prior to casting Shield of Faith, his touch AC should be affected by the spell as well since it is a deflection bonus, rather than plain armor or shield bonus. Afaik at least.

Tristram uncoils his chain and practices a few swings.

Round 1: Cathain downed the second potion and dropped the vial, which was the last that could be heard or seen from her. Then there was only dead-silence. She was going to hunt her oponents like she had done with so many others, moving silently like a shadow.

OOC: Did you consider the -4 hide modifier for being large? Also, don't forget the -2 DEX penalty while under the enlarge person spell (in addition to the AC penalty).

ooc: Meh, remembered the dex penalty but didn't think about the large modifier. Subtract four from Hide please.

Cathain graced Tristram with no response to his challenge, of course the best chain swinger would win, and that would be her. The pale woman inhaled and waited for Tristram's next step...

ooc: Your turn :D

Yer stayin' put, lad. Try drawin' er out! The dwarven warrior-priest calls out. Tristram just nods and while the swinging chain makes a humming sound in the arena, calls out: Cathain, know that I, Tristram NightandDay call you out to test your mettle. Stop hiding like a simple thief and face me in the open!

Round 2: Cathain heard Tristram's challenge and only thought of it as cowardly. Her lip curled into a sneer as she focused on her target, her muscles tightened and she burst forth from the shadows with great speed. The large woman charged straight forward towards the river nothing more than a blurry shadow, then made a sharp turn towards Tristram. She powerfully lept off the river bank to safely land in the water with a mighty splash. The large spiked chain trailed her like a long prehensile tail, snapping around upon landing and smashing into Tristram like a battering ram. "Is this your understanding of an honorable fight, just staying put and luring the weak-minded into your reach?" Cathain asked in a hoarse whisper.

OOC: That is not considered a charge, and you can't legally charge directly from your starting position. You must move directly towards the designated target, unless you have the skill trick that allows a turn. You must move to the closest square from which you can attack the target. I/J 17/18 is not the closest square.

I object: Cathain charged straight forward, no crooked line. Second: This is the closest square from her starting position that allows her to attack Tristram since it is a straight line.

OOC: Yes, but it's not moving directly towards the opponent. Here is the SRD text:


In the current situation you are not allowed to charge.

Then tell me where she failed. She moved in a direct line to the closest square from where she could hit you. She jumped the water, which is ok since she got leap attack, and then attacked. Where's the problem?
