OOC: The OA Shaman was updated to the Spirit Shaman of Complete Divine. It's a little different, but it ought to be the official update.

I don't think that is correct. The update in Dragon is written by the author of OA and is considered "canon". In the description of the spell compendium on the Wizards website the OA shaman is specifically mentioned, and that players can look to both druid and cleric spells for added spellpower, but not all spells from both. The spirit shaman has only access to druid spells unless I'm mistaken.

No objection to that, however, in RoA we've decided against using Dragon Magazine or Dungeon material since many DMs don't have access to them.

I'm fully aware of that, but this is NorthernOkies call, and Kara-Tur is a bubble region.

I soooo like bubble regions...

Ok. Did some digging and found a booklet on the Wizards homepage that details the 3.0 -> 3.5 conversion which includes the spells listed in OA. Endure elements is included in that conversion and we are using the 3.5 version of the spell; nothing else. Let's fight!

Cool, your turn!

The Calashite growled mildly annoyed, it seemed her oponent was intent on outwaiting her, a valid tactic on the battlefield - but in the arena? The martial-mage moved further to the west until she had a good view on the misted area then simply cast a spell directly into the middle, if she didn't get Take or his doggy, she would at least get rid of the annoying fog. Fire blossomed in the gray area and dissolved the unnatural fog while Nalia became visible again.

Round 3:

  [Move] to C15

Final position: C15

With the mist obscuring their view, both dog and man failed to detect the spell being cast and both took the full extent of the fiery damage. They both rushed forward, hoping to catch the lethal sorceress in a single, decisive attack. Urufu failed miserably, still blinded from the fireball blast, but Take fared better, grabbing hold of Nalia.

Nalia saw the mountain of a man coming right at her and attempting a frightening hug. "Wind of the West, protect me!" she called out and a strong gale pushed her out of the clamping arms of Take.

ooc: Nalia has a 'Ring of the 4 winds' (MIC p. 124). As an immediate action she can get a +2 deflection bonus to AC. Thus for your attack her touch AC has become 15 for this single attack. As a result Take misses.

You may edit your post to reflect this, sorry immediate actions always mean backtracking :(

Round 4:

  [Move] Stow wand.
  [Standard] Cast 'Combust' defensively DC17: 19-Success. Touch attack 7. fail.

  Damage Taken:  0
  Damage Dealt:  0

Effects:
 - Combust on hand
 - Shield, 6mins
 - Combust in bolt, 7rds
 - Eagle's Splendor, 3mins

Final position: B15

Surprised by the last moment gust of wind suddenly allowing Nalia to twist out of his iron grip, Take is still able to avoid the magical attack that follows. Undeterred he reaches out once more with a powerful grip in order to crush the life out of the sorceress. Urufu, meanwhile, waits for an opportunity to bite.

Round 2:
  [Free]
  [Move]
  [Standard]Initiate grapple (16), beat GC (33) or grapple taking 8 damage

Status:
  Initiative: 8

  [Standard]Attack 15, hit if grappling? Damage 6

  AC (Touch AC): 21 (15)

  Damage Taken:  26
  Damage Dealt:  6?

Final position: C15

The Calashite saw him coming and didn't fight the grip of the giant-kin, feeling the crushing embrace pressing the air from her lungs. "Angar-bech!" she said and suddenly Take was hugging empty air only. Her hand reached out but was deflected by the magic the shaman had wrapped around himself. She chastised herself for not going after the dog instead and did her best to move out of the giant's path, hiding behind a stone pillar.

Round 5:

  [Swift] Translocate to C13.
  [Standard] Touch attack 15, fail. Can't even roll a '12'.
  [Move] to H10.

 - Shield, 6mins
 - Combust in bolt, 6rds
 - Eagle's Splendor, 3mins

Final position: H10

ooc: Nalia's AC without dex bonus is 19, Urufu's bite should miss.

What is translocate?

ooc: It's the ability of the 'Translocation Anklet' from MIC, basically a 10ft teleport. I've bought boots of the Winterlands and added that feature.

Take grumbles as the sorceress slips out of his grip yet again. As he and the dog move to intercept he takes a opportunity to heal some of their wounds. Urufu goes once more on the attack, but isn't able to penetrate the strong defences of Nalia.

Round 3:
  [Free]
  [Move]Move to F11
  [Standard]Activate healing belt (shared with Urufu) 11 healed

Status:
  Initiative: 8

Effects: +2 Deflection bonus to AC (self and Urufu), Bless: +1 attack & saves vs fear

Final position: F11

Urufu
  [Free]
  [Move] Move to G10
  [Standard]Attack 20, miss

  AC (Touch AC): 21 (15)

  Damage Taken:  15 (26)
  Damage Dealt:

Final position: G10

ooc: I'm afraid you cannot share a charge from your healing belt with Urufu, only spells. The belt is a magic item and cannot share the healing. You could cast a healing spell on yourself and share it with your dog or use the healing on Urufu though.

"You guys are stickier dan drow sticky globes!" Nalia said, tired of Take's single minded pursuit of wrestling her down. She looked at the two oponents and vanished from view again, moving off swiftly into the distance.

Round 6:

  [Standard] Use charge from vanisher cloak: Invisible.
  [Swift] Use charge from 'Sandals of Sprinting' [MIC, +30ft move]
  [Move] Move to...

The sorceress vanished from view, but isn't able to mask her scent. Urufu barks when he finally figures out where the sorceress went.

OOC: Do you skip along pillars diagonally or do you treat them as being square? I've treated them as square (no diagonal movement past them). Trying to figure out how much movement can be made when tracking. Going for half speed, please let me know if you are of a different opinion.

Round 6:
  [Free]
  [Move]Move to J09
  [Standard]Activate healing belt to heal Urufu (6)

Status:
  Initiative: 8
  AC (Touch AC): 18 (17)

  Damage Taken:  15 (26)
  Damage Dealt:  8

Effects: +2 Deflection bonus to AC, Bless: +1 attack & saves vs fear

Final position: J09

Urufu
  [Free]
  [Move] Half speed to K09
  [Standard]Survival (16) success (assuming DC15 check to track)! Dogs get +4 bonus when tracking using scent and Urufu has +1 survival already as per the SRD entry.

  AC (Touch AC): 21 (15)

  Damage Taken:  20 (26)
  Damage Dealt:

Final position: K09

ooc: Yes, tracking is moving at half speed unless you want to incurr a negative penalty (-5 afaik). So what you do is fine :) I've counted full squares too.

With both her hands occupied, Nalia decided to call upon the help of an old friend to keep the threat of two oponents at bay. Soon a large chitin-armored arachnid stood next to her and scooted off towards its prey.

Round 7:

  [Standard] Summon large monstrous scorpion from amulet.
  [Swift]
  [Move] None.

Take notes the appearance of the large vermin in the arena, and grins. I hope it can put up a good fight! he calls out before moving slightly and beginning to weave a complicated spell. Urufu growls at the approaching scorpion and gives it a good bite.
