((Just to check, any Attack of Opportunity for the grapple attempt?))

(Nope, i've got improved grapple feat so just need that opposed Strength check from you to break the grapple and take no damage.)

((Definitely failed the opposed grapple. I'll be making an attempt to escape the grapple on my turn. I rolled a 15. Let me know if that succeeds or fails and then I'll post my actual turn))

Rolls in Private Line

I also rolled a 15 so it comes down to modifiers now. My total grapple mod is +10 if yours is higher than that, you win. If not, your still grappled. If its the same, then we get to reroll for a tie breaker.

09:40, Today: Jazal Elderstraught rolled 15 using 1d20+10. Opposed Grapple.

((You win the tie.))

Jazal manages to hook Gideon's armor and get a hold of the warrior. If the attack hurt Gideon, he did not show it. His initial attempts to escape the grapple are unsuccessful resulting in an expression of mild annoyance.

Nope. That was all. Its your go.

Gideon managed to keep Jazal from tightening his hold though, when attempting to reach for something, found that his movements were still fairly restricted.

Jazal continues to successfully restrained Gideon. Still, it seems his expression is one of frustration from the lack of movement rather than one of pain from any damage Jazal's efforts may be causing.

((And the dice roller comes through for me! Passed both the opposed grapple and the concentration check on my turn far above the margin of what was needed! About time.))

Finally getting a feel for Jazal's movements, Gideon manages to fend off his efforts as well as finds the space to reach across his body and activate a tattoo. Within seconds, his form doubles in size making Jazal's grip that much more difficult to maintain. As the circumstances seem to be turning in his favor, Gideon's frustrated expression begins to fade as well.

((Seems a waste to have gone with such a large arena if we're going to be spending the whole match in the same spot. haha))

Initially, Gideon's new larger form took a little getting used to as Jazal took advantage of the distraction. The moment didn't last too long, however, and Gideon was back on the offensive.

Giedion was quick to take advantage of his large size, striking Jazal squarely in the chest. "Very good! You show promise!" Jazal says, returning the attack in kind. But the blow seemed to Jar jazal a bit as his attack was almost certainly going to be deflected.

"Well, I'm certainly happy to have your approval." The tone in Gideon's reply did not indicate bitter sarcasm so much as a bit of joking banter between the two. As lighthearted as his words were, his actions certainly told a different story as he snuck another shot in on Jazal.

Can't beat a 32. What are your modifiers if i may ask? Also, how is your expansion lasting longer than 1 round? LAst i checked, Expansion laster 1 round/manifester level and it was a 1st level manifester power.

With another strike to him, Jazal strikes back once more with greater energy than previously demonstrated. ""

02:57, Today: Jazal Elderstraught rolled 19 using 1d20+10. Opposed Grapple.

With a mighty wallop, Gideon sends Jazal flying a few feet as Jazal loosens his grip. After a moment of lying still, Jazal stands wearily and bows to his opponent. "A match worthy of Bahamut's praise indeed. I believe you will go quite a ways." Jazal dusts off his robes and straightens the holy symbol about his neck. "Until we meet again, friend."

Gideon gets the KO on Jazal with that last punch. (downsides to having a template is low HP relative to pretty much everything.)

Jazal is ECL7 and used no consumables.

Once the fight is over and Jazal is back on his feet, Gideon firmly claps him on the back of his shoulder. "I look forward to it. You have shown me quite a bit in this short time."
