Tristram starts in RED, Valas starts in GREEN>

    _{* Points of Interest The arena boundaries are the outer walls, 30' above ground level, and 10' below ground level.
    * There is a transparent wall of force ceiling 30' above ground level.
    * One combatant starts at position A, the other at B.
    * The ground consists of rough marble (hardness 10, hp 10 per cubic foot (or 20 hp per inch over a 5 ft by 5 ft square) with a 6 inch deep layer of sand on top. The sand increases the hardness of the stone by +5, but you can scoop all of the sand out of a 5 ft by 5 ft area with a full round action (which prompts an AOO).
    * The sand is fine-grained and white, and does not impede movement. Walking on it grants a +4 circumstance bonus to Move Silently checks. The sand is too fine and light to be used as a weapon.
    * The walls are made of rough marble, and are 30 ft high. Climbing the side of a wall is DC 20.
    * The pillars are also made of rough marble. They are approximately 5 ft in diameter, and a 5 ft tall section of a pillar is 100 cubic feet. However, you can bring a pillar down by narrowing your focus a bit. The minimum damage you need to deal to bring a pillar down is 25 cubic feet, or 250 damage.
    * Breaking a pillar with sudden force is a STR check (Hardness 10, Hit Points 1000, stone, one piece: DC 30.
    * Climbing the side of a pillar is DC 20. When you can reach the top edge of a pillar, it is DC 10.
    * The top of the pillars are flat-topped and rough, and make good standing platforms.
    * Diagonal movement between the central pillars offers enough space for Large creatures to move unimpeded, and Huge and Gargantuan creates to move while squeezed.}

Tristram appears in the arena immediately prepares for battle. Flexing his well-toned body he tries a few practice swings with the chain, leaving the greatsword in its scabbard for now.

Valas laughs as he enters the arena, he then nods his head towards the man. "Now its my turn to lose eh...well I will at least make YOU fight for the win... HE then moves his hands quickly and a shimmering force of a shield appears in front of the half drow. He then smirks and stands ready.

It's time to fight, Valas, do it with honor! booms Tristram's voice as he covers the length of the arena with long powerful strides despite the steel armor.

Knight's challenge: +1 to attack & damage vs Valas, 7 rounds
Mage slayer: caster's can't cast defensive in threatened areas

Final position: M07

OOC: I just realized you are a mage slayer...I cannot kill you. I cannot cast or do anything for you will hit me every single time. And then trip me and do it again...for I have no strength. I should have seen this before but I did not realize the mage slayer feat or skill or what ever that is at the bottom. IS that a feat?

So I would move away. YOu would trip me and then I would be done...then I would cast and you would hit me and my spell would not go off. LOL You see where I am going with this?

Unless you see me having any other chacne I am willing to play it out. But as of now I see no chance what so ever....lol

You can actually 5' step out of the threatened area at this point; remember that movement is dictated what you move into, not leave.
Also, the mage slayer feat only does not allow to cast defensively, but doesn't shut down spellcasting. You can always take a chance with the AoO.

Well I guess that makes sense. I will try it out then. I know it will be a slaughter but I will post away anyways. ;)

My action coming soon.

Valas had a feeling that this would be a quick fight. He attempts to move away from the fighter.

I will stop here for this will seem to be the best spot to do so, 25 ft move away from you. My strength cehck is a total of 15 for your trip attack. If I get away I will post my spell I cast. lol

position- L-13( If I make it )

Tristram swings his chain around with a well practiced motion, letting it coil around the ankle of the retreating Valas, and pulling him off his feet.

OOC: You are tripped and fall prone. Alas.

Yea you know...I give up. Sorry nothing against you but I simply will lose. I mean the more I think about it the more your character will destroy me. ( I do not even have a chance , which is no fun ) Even with the dice...I have a low AC and no strength. I cannot cast defensively. SOrry man...I wish I could go on but then I would feel like my posts mean nothing.


So you win. ;)

That's ok, please try again sometimes!

yea we can try again..maybe a different map, when I gain another level. ;)
