Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Adamar sauntered into the arena, a loud cheer issuing from...well from an invisible crowd. The elf began to limber up and then drew two daggers with lightening speed. Adamar spins his daggers in a complicated routine and then points to Levis with a wink and a smile.

Prep Round 1:
  [Move]
  [Free] Quick Draw: draw daggers
  [Standard]

Prep Round 2:
  [Move]

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis walked into the arena, far less sure of herself than Adamar. She saw his quick routine with his daggers, and didn't really have anything to offer in return. She just went about her preparation for the fight to start. Shadows swirled around her, and a suit of armor with a shield formed over her person, then in the next moment, more shadows began to writhe about her person, almost appearing solid.

Prep Round 1
 [Standard] Cast Steel Shadows. +3 AC armour bonus, +3 AC shield bonus.

Status:
 Initiative 3
 AC: 15(9)

Effects: Steel Shadows (+6 AC)

Prep Round 2
 [Standard] Cast Caul of Shadows +2 AC (deflection)

Status:
 Initiative: 3
 AC: 17(11)

Effects: Steel Shadows (+6 AC), Caul of Shadows (+2 AC)

Final Position: Q10

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

The second the signal gong sounded Adamar launched into spell casting, his daggers tracing arcane sigils in the air as the elf spoke a few words ending in his daggers pointing in Levis' direction. To onlookers it seemed as if the color drained from the elf, literally, leaving nothing but a dull black and white copy as his color flowed down his arms like wet paint down a wall. The color gathered in his outstretched hands and then shot forth in a blinding rainbow beam that streaked across the arena at the Shadow Mage. As the beam fired away those watching saw a large grin plastered across the elf's face as he faded from view.

Round 1:
  [Standard] Cast Blinding Color Surge: WILL save vs DC 14 or be blinded for 1 round, caster becomes invisible regardless of save
  [Move] Standard move: 40' to ???

Status:
  Initiative: 10

  Damage Taken:
  Damage Dealt:

Effects:

 Blinding Color Surge Invisibility: 4 rounds

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis wasn't really all that affected from the blast of light, and so saw that the elf did become invisible and didn't just duck around something. She had the solution, and moved around the corner for some cover.

Round 1:
Will Save: 19

[Move] 30' to P7
[Standard] Cast Piercing Sight. (See invisible and gain darkvision 60')

 AC: 17(11)

Damage Given:

Effects: Steel Shadows (+6 AC,), Caul of Shadows (+2 AC), Piercing Sight (See invis, Darkvision 60')

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Adamar moved out until he saw his opponent hidden in a corner and he smiled to himself thinking he was still invisible. Raising his right hand the elf channeled a bit of his natural magical energies into the supple black glove and two magical bolts of energy shot out and streaked towards the woman. As soon as the missiles were off the elf activated his anklet and blinked out of view.

Round 2:
  [Move] 20' to J05
  [Standard] Activate Gloves of the Starry Sky: Use 1 1st level spell slot to cast magic missile: 2 magic missiles: 8
  [Swift] Activate Anklet of Translocation: teleport to H03

  AC (Touch AC): 20 (14)

  Damage Taken:

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Hiding is also technically part of movement, so while it's not normally an action, if youdon't actually move (and teleporting doesn't count) it's probably a move action. Though you actually have a move action left, so you can move to cover and then hide as part of that movement.  Your final position would still be hidden.  (You could even use your ability after movement).

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

OOC: So, as a player I am not familiar with the shadow spells you are throwing about and was wondering if I might ask a question. Do your spells have all the normal "components" to them? For example, a verbal component? Or are they just innate abilities?

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Shadow magic mysteries have somatic component only (gestures). They can be interrupted as usual, and grappling will likely be troublesome.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis watched as Adamar walked by, and was shocked at how he didn't see her, or maybe he had and was aiming to sneak around behind her, not realizing she could see him. It must be a trick, she thought, and so she put it to the test.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

The elf stood in front of her, but didn't make a move to attack, and she wasn't sure whether or not to be confused or delighted. She still had a hunch, and she wanted to make sure it was true. "Do you know why many illusionists study the Plane of Shadow?" She asked, then threw a punch.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

OOC: Well done! :D

The elf standing in front of Levis smiles wide as the young woman's fist punches through it, it's form spinning and wisping like smoke, finally disappearing.
"Hahahahaha!" Adamar's voice echoed through the halls."You are indeed a bright young woman for being so, so very young. I now see just how you could take down that son of drow so easily. Come now, come and get me deary."
After muttering a few arcane syllables the elf pads off down the hall once again.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis heard him plod off, but had no idea where. She was starting to figure out the elf's tactics, and though it would be amusing to watch from an outside perspective, she suspected that she was going to be stuck in this arena for much longer than anticipated.
"Remember that time I said that you can choose the arena? I take it back!" She shouted out at him.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Adamar begins to move past the southern most opening in the center portion of the arena when he sees a blob of darkness and what he thinks is Levis. The elf, or better yet 6 Adamar's, smile in her direction and take off around the corner, the images merging and shuffling as he moves.

OOC: I'm assuming he would have noticed the large bit of Darkness that surrounds you while passing by the doorway. Oh, and after seeing you destroy Zar'Da in two matches the last thing the elf is going to do is stand still for you :P

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis was aware of her error the moment she made it, but wasn't about to bother herself about it. She now had protection, and that was something important. She saw Adamar move down the hallway, and so she thought to intercept. When she went around the corner, he wasn't there. Maybe he stopped short, or perhaps he went down into the other hall. Either way, she wasn't about to check either, in case of being ambushed.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

She saw the elf come out of the bottom exit and dash north, too fast for her to react. Not surprising, since she was a giant beacon of darkness.
"We can always call it a draw, if you would like. I suspect neither of us are willing to let ourselves get caught by the other." She shouted to him, but if he declined, she had one last plan, and she hoped it would work.

The Beguiler muttered a few arcane syllables and then crept off, his speed greatly enhance.

Levis drew a straight line across the ground, ten feet across from corner to corner. The liquid shadows immediately started glowing bright red under the effects of her darkness spell, and that was exactly the way she wanted it.

 Initiative: 3
 AC: 17(11)

Damage Taken: 8
Damage Given:

Effects: Steel Shadows (+6 AC,), Caul of Shadows (+2 AC), Piercing Sight (See invis, Darkvision 60'), Darkness (20% miss, 3 rounds).

Final position: O7

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis, you can't draw a 10' line and take a 5' step since that movement can only be done if you haven't taken any other movement that round.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

The line was part of the movement. Imagine me putting my finger to the ground and just backing up. I just didn't know the correct action sequence.

the line glows red, the darkness spell itself is unaffected.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Adamar moved through the center of the arena and south until he saw the cloud of darkness and the figure of the woman inside.
"Oh, naughty, naughty girl. What does that pretty red line do?" the elf says. It was time to move this along. The elf looked at the shadowy figure, pointed a finger at her and uttered a single word that carried with it agony.
"PAIN!"
And then he blinked out of sight again.

OOC: the spell is subject to the hit points of the person it effects. I assumed you had 50 hitpoints or less so you are unfotunetly effected my the highest possible amount.

I thought if you could draw a line from one square to another it was line of sight?

One other thing. Can beguilers cast PW: Pain? I was looking at the books and it's not listed as one of their available spells.

At 4th level they gain! Advanced Learning which allows them to learn a spell not from their lists. One of the DM's from here recommened it. I usually don't like to pull it out against anothoer player but Levis is just too damned scarry powerful with her one shot one kill spells.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis felt the waves of pain washing over her, and she knew her time was up. As mild mannered as she was, she felt angry. This elf's time needed to be up too. "I tried to be reasonable with you." was all she offered to the retreating elf, and immediately went into spellcasting.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis saw the elf move up through the halls, opposite the place she last spotted him. He moved impossibly fast, and that was concerning. She had to be smart to catch him. Smart and reckless. Throwing caution to the wind, she decided to try something she was told to never do unless it was the only means of survival. Moving quickly, she moved right against a wall, and then attempted to flicker past it. She arrived on the other side of not the first wall, but a second, and shockingly, a lot closer to the elf than she was comfortable with. In her panic, she let loose her shadowy gaze.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

As Adamar recognized the spell that did so much damage to Zar'Da the elf cast a quick spell trying to cause Levis to stop her casting, which he realized failed as soon as the shadow washed over him...

Round 11:
  [Immediate] Cast Stay the Hand (Levis Saved)

The elf let out a muffled gasp as the shadow tugged at his very soul.
"w-w-w-w-well that w-w-w-was f-f-familiar." Adamar stammered as he raised his hand and fired off two energy missiles at the young woman just before he took off running across the arena once again.

Round 12:
  [Standard: Activate Gloves of the Starry Sky: Give up spell slot for Magic Missile: 2 missiles for 8 damage
  [Move] Move 70' to O16
  [Free] Power Word PAIN damage: 2

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis saw him take off with impossible speed once again, and if she was him, she'd move as far away as possible. Hopefully she had enough time to catch him once more, since her injuries were catching up with her. The pain from the spell had started a small nosebleed and there were four burn marks on her from magic missiles. All in all, she was in rough shape. She flickered back to where she came from, and moved with haste to somewhere she could reach him from if he moved far away.

Round 12:
 [Swift] Flicker to G7
 [Move] to K7

Status:
 Initiative: 3
 AC: 17(11)

Damage Taken: 23
Damage Given: 25

Effects: Steel Shadows (+6 AC,), Caul of Shadows (+2 AC), Piercing Sight (See invis, Darkvision 60'), Flicker (4 rounds).

Final position: K7

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Levis was barely holding onto consciousness, but she saw her chance and leaped at it with all her strength. She flickered closer to close some of the distance and put the elf into range. Drawing upon all of her power, and ignoring the pain, she focused all of the power she could muster into one final blast.

Round 13:
 [Swift] Flicker to J10
 [Full round] Maximized Killing Shadows. 48 damage in a 30ft cone. Will DC17 to half.
 [Concentration check vs DC19(?)] 24

Status:
 Initiative: 3
 AC: 17(11)

Damage Taken: 32
Damage Given: 25+48

Effects: Steel Shadows (+6 AC,), Caul of Shadows (+2 AC), Piercing Sight (See invis, Darkvision 60'), Flicker (3 rounds).

Final position: J10

OOC: No joke. I barely lived.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

Because with Flicker and your Killing Shadows I would never be able to get far enough away. I didn't realize you had more than one use of Flicker, that's why I tried to stay away from you as much as possible. And you NEVER seem to miss a WILL save so none of my other spells would work on you. Doesn't really seem to matter with your massive damage spells. I may just have to have a match with you against Orophear just to try and get at least one win with one of my characters :/

SOLO: I believe she only has one hit point left. I was hoping to roll a 7 on MM but luck has never been my strong suit.

Re: Adamar vs Levis in the Athenaeum Arcanum

It does, since he just utters the word and doesn't have to concentrate or really do anything else. Compare with spiritual weapon, which attacks on its own every round, but the target has to be in sight of the caster. In a similar situation, the weapon would return to the caster and hover above the fallen form.
