Levis picked this arena to be fair, but she was still worried. Her spells couldn't be used at their full range, and she didn't like the thought of turning a corner and running into the Knight on her own. She went about her preparations and hoped for the best.

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

Status:
 Initiative 15
 AC: 15(9)

Status:
 Initiative: 15
 AC: 15(9)

Effects: Steel Shadows (+6 AC), Shadowskin (DR10/magic) (1 round).

OOC: Sorry for the delay. A couple of questions, and depending on the answers I may need to edit my prep rounds.
1: Does it require a move action to pass and item?
2: Can Levis use the wand of Cat's Grace?

Orophear went about preparing for the match silently. Just before the gong rings the elf says, "Stick close for a moment if possible."

Prep Round 1:
  [Move] Draw Wand
  [Standard] Cast Cat's Grace from wand
  [Free] drop wand

  [Move] Draw Sword

  Bull's Strength: +4 to Str, Duration: 8 minutes

Final Position: B09

OOC: in general yes, but I'll allow you to draw and pass along an item as part of the same action while in prep rounds. Levis can't use the wand without an UMD check.

OOC: I actually can't at all. Mystery users can't activate spell trigger devices of other classes.

Are you sure? UMD allows you to "pose" as something else wrt magic.

OOC: Levis, do you have a position?

OOC: Yeah. It's in page 154 of Tome of Magic.

And my position is A10

Gawain launches himself forward in a frantic rush across the arena, almost flying over the altar before bearing down on Levis. The knight slams into her knocking the girl almost sensless before cutting he down with the sword. The swing has such momentum it manages to catch Orophear as well, giving the elf a nasty wound.

Round 1:
  [Immediate] Activate Badge of Valor +1 IC
  [Move] Jump over altar as part of movement (DC16), autosuccess with a +21 modifier

Quinlan knocks and fires an arrow but misses, he sneaks off behind cover.

Round 1:
  [Free]
  [Move] Move to M11
  [Standard] Attack (15)

Status:
  Initiative: 18
  AC (Touch AC): 20 (13)

  Damage Taken: 0
  Damage Dealt: 0

Effects: +3 to attack & damage, Barkskin 60 mins, +2d6 Fire damage

Final position: M11

OOC: first off, BRUTAL!

Second, the alter in the middle doesn't prevent you from charging??

OOC: Lucky roll (shrug). The altar presents no obstacle since my jump modifier is +21, and the altar, being low cover is no more than 4' high (DC16, which is autosuccess). I will edit my post though to better reflect this.

I thought to myself "I should use DR. This will be a rough start if I don't have some kind of protection." and I was right, but I needed lots more protection.

We got lucky: Gawain rolled two (2) 20: one for initiative, and then directly after a critical hit. But generally, you don't want Gawain to have a charge lane.

OOC: Yikes! Remind me to NEVER meet Gawain in open combat!

Orophear's eyes went wide as the knight burst across the arena, his flaming sword cutting his companion clean in half. The elf managed to move just enough to not follow Levis into the afterlife but still took a might hit himself. With a growl of pain the elf channeled a bit of arcane energy into his sword, the fmiliar drain from his own life force moving along the blade to turn it a bright blood red followed closely by the crackling of lightning. With a sideways chop the blade cut into the knight and discharged all of it's magical energies into the man along the gash.

Round 1:
  [Swift] Cast Blade of Blood: sacrifice 5 hit points for an extra 2d6 damage
  [Standard] Arcane Channel: Cast Shocking Grasp into sword, Attack: 30, Damage: 44 (13 longsword + 12 BoB + 19 shocking grasp)

Status:
  Initiative: 13
  AC (Touch AC): 23 (17)

  Damage Taken: 33 (28 G + 5 BoB)
  Damage Dealt: 44(G)

Effects:
  Cat's Grace: +4 to Dex, Duration: 3 minutes

  Bull's Strength: +4 to Str, Duration: 8 minutes

  A shaken character takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Final Position: B09

OOC: forgot to add that you need to save vs fear (will DC15).

OOC: From what? and what are the effects if I fail, which I did.

Gawain has a frightful presence ability that activates when charging, full attacking, or casting a spell against enemies. It triggered on my charge. You are shaken, which doesn't do anything for the thrashing you just gave me.
