OOC: 23:15, Today: Haran Madar rolled 23 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 15.  Haran Madar Initiative.

glhf

08:53, Today: Krumm rolled 6 using 1d20+3 with rolls of 3.  Intitiative.

Haran shiftily walks into the arena. He looks in Krumm’s direction and shakes his head. He had fought Krumm once before in a grand match. And he had high hopes for him because they shared a bloodline. But the creature that stood before Haran had lost it. “Krumm, what happened? You had so much potential before.” “Watch out for him Haran. I have heard tales of such creatures who, instead of mastering their bloodline are instead mastered by the bloodline. They turn into slavering beasts, ruled by their emotions and rage. They can’t control it. There are some who master their bloodline and become like you. There are others who don’t and become Bloodragers.” “Too bad Krumm.” Haran smiles. He then unfurls his hands and begins to walk up the wall pulling out a rod. He casts a familiar spell. Little dragons begin to zip and zag around Haran. He was ready.

OOC: Haran, I'lll try and get to this tonight.

In reply to Krumm (msg # 5):

Awesome, thanks for the update.

Krumm, I've been patient. But I can't wait forever. I'm going to call the 48 hour tomorrow.

Though Krumm could hear every word of Haran's commentary, he did not respond. He simply let out an aggravated snort and prepared himself for battle.

Obviously, I don't have 0 HP. HP should read 119/119

Will continue turn after learning results of Krumm's saves



“Keep your silence. Talking would only show you for the simple bloodrager you are.” It didn’t help Haran’s impression of Krumm when he pulled out a simple weapon: a javelin. Despite his talk, Haran was impressed that Krumm recognized his spell as Dazing Persistent Snapdragon Fireworks. “This knowledge alone won’t help you. You need power Krumm.” Haran snaps his fingers and one of the little dragon fireworks streaks toward Krumm hitting him with fire and force.

   SUMMARY: - Krumm takes 7 dmg (6 fire, 1 force) and must make two DC17 reflex saves or be dazed for 1 round.


OOC: As funny as it would be to fight someone with 00/00 hp, I'm glad you have more. I’ll continue my turn after learning the results of your saves.

hrm? Attack roll/saves vs. your spell? It's auto-hit which is still a no-no, I think

OOC: Snapdragon fireworks is REFLEX NEGATES, so none of that affects you if both of your Reflex saves pass, Krumm.

Krumm spends a Hero point to reroll the second failed save.

12:04, Today: Krumm rolled 24 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 19.  Hero Point Reroll on Snapdragon Fireworks.

12:03, Today: Krumm rolled 22,9 using d20+5,d20+5 with rolls of 17,4.  Reflex saves vs. Snapdragon Fireworks.

OOC: GM Akrim, in the header it says Reflex negates, but in the text of the spell it says reflex for half.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/...snapdragon-fireworks

quote:

Creatures in the target square take 1d4 points of fire damage and are dazzled for 1 round (Reflex half, a successful save negates the dazzled condition).

On a failed save, Krumm would take 7 points and be dazed and dazzled for 1 round.
On a passed save, Krumm would only take 3.

CONTINUED TURN


Haran laughs. “It appears that you’re a new man. Show me what you’ve learned.”

In reply to Haran Madar (msg # 14):

OOC: It NEGATES the CONDITIONS. I hardly think 3-7 damage is what Krumm was worried about. *eye roll*

After realizing Haran's tactic, Krumm nods, preparing himself for Haran to act.

Haran smiled. “Strategy doesn’t suit you Krumm. Why don’t fall back on your usual style of yelling and waving a primitive weapon?” Haran pulls out a potion. “Or better yet, why don’t you just give up.” Haran drinks. A darkness spreads throughout the arena. "Haran...Haran...what does he see?" Haran just waited, listening for the barbarian's cries of despair.

OOC: Unless you have darkvision or some other way to see in the darkness this grants me total concealment (50% miss chance). Side note: Haran is not actually going to speak as that may despite what's in the flavor text. Also Krumm, did you take the 2 fire and 1 force from last round?

OOC: If you don't want to speak, please don't say anything in the flavor text. I misread Arkrim's post, so did not include the damage. I will update shortly, but first - fly check. Is it an auto-pass for you, or did you just forget to make it?

With the -6 from Fatigue and Blindness, that's still a success.

Not a word was heard. But a smile could be felt in the air.

SUMMARY: - Krumm must make two DC17 reflex saves. If he passes, he takes 3 fire/force dmg (1 of which is force). If he fails, he takes 6 fire/force dmg (1 of which is force) and is dazed and dazzled for 1 round.


OOC:

OOC: To clarify, the spell you cast had no Verbal Components?

OOC: Yes, it did have verbal components.

OOC: You activated my trap card!

As the snapdragon fireworks make their way towards Krumm, he rushes out of the way, ensuring that Haran's spell did not hit him.

21:47, Today: Krumm rolled 22 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 16.  Perception Check to Locate Haran (Via Hearing).

Will take my turn once Haran's position is updated.

OOC: Huh, not sure how that works. Would you mind posting what your readied action was? Don't quite move ahead with your turn yet. I want to make sure you can actually dodge out of the way. But as a measure of good faith Haran is in A2+3.

I'd rather have a GM or ref Mod it, Haran. Sorry. Mechanics are working against me in a major way, and the only really effective way to counter you right now is to outthink you.

OOC: Krumm's readied action is legit.

OOC: I suppose carry on, but you'll have to let me know (if you wouldn't mind) how you did it once we finish the match. That sort of wording could be useful in my other matches.

Once more, as the Fireworks dart towards Krumm he moves out of the way.

OOC: Krumm moves to D2

Haran activates is counter trap card!


* = Deeper Darkness

Haran watches Krumm flee. “Out of the frying pan and into the fire” Haran casts two scorching rays at the bloodrager. “They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That is lie. Using the same trick against Haran over and over again, that is insanity.” Haran looked down upon Krumm that poor poor Bloodrager. He had no idea what he was doing.

OOC: Readied action is illegal. You didn't declare a readied action in your initial post.

OOC: I did declare it in a private line to the GM. I've seen others do it here before with no problem.

Ooc: i can see the pm. Harans readied is legit. Posting from phone. My typos cant fix.

While the action may be Legit, Haran can't make a readied action for something that happens during his turn.

Reference:

OOC: Well damn, I never even bothered to think about that. It actually says "after your turn is over" verbatim. So you can't take a readied on your own turn...huh. Well, even I keep learning something new about this game even to this day. I guess that was the game designers' clever way of avoiding readied action loops and self-fulfilling readied actions.

You guys want to retcon or...what?
 

There was really no need for me to take a readied action. I could just have easily had that be my standard action. It would have resulted in the same thing. I'd rather just call it my standard action and we wouldn't have to retcon anything for the same result.

OOC: Well, GM Akrim left it up to us to decide what to do. Seeing as I am the only one who provided an answer, we go with that. In other words, I'll just rename my readied action as my standard action for that turn. In other words, I directed spell (Move), Krumm to move (Readied Action), Cast Scorching Ray after Krumm's move (Standard Action) <-- which is practically what I did any way, I just tried to use a readied action to do it, which in retrospect, didn't make sense. Why not just wait for Krumm to make his readied action to move, which I knew he was going to do, and then cast scorching ray as a standard once he was finished? I have no idea why I didn't do this in the first place. I suppose because I wanted a trap card too.

Seeing as I'm the only one who put forward a solution, we go with my plan of simply renaming my readied as my standard. This way, we don't have to change anything really.

Also, it's been 5 days. I would like to call the 48 hour rule.

OOC: Krumm takes the total defense action. Haran can resolve the situation based on his own judgment. By not responding, Krumm has given Haran full control over that decision. Also, that's a strike for Krumm. First strike is a warning, second is 50% rewards win or lose, third is disqualification.

You can make the saves for him if necessary.

Sorry about that, I got sick and then generally got burned out with the internet for a bit. I'm back now though.

13:56, Today: Krumm rolled 7 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 2.  Reflex Save [Hero Point Reroll].

13:55, Today: Krumm rolled 11 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 6.  Reflex Save .

OOC: Awesome, glad you're back. In that case, I would like to withdraw the most recent "48 rule" post, if possible. Krumm can take his Round 5, or with those saves, should I just take my round 6?

OOC: That's fine. Krumm rolled for last 48 hour rule and we're giving Krumm another 48 hours to take his round 5. Very sportsman-like of you Haran. You're up Krumm.

Krumm winces as the fire hits him, but he did not expect to get out of this fight unscathed.

Summary: Krumm seems to do nothing.

Haran was satisfied seeing the dazed look in Krumm’s eyes. “I must say Krumm, very few people have lasted until the end of my firework spell. Well done. Give up while you're ahead Krumm. It only gets worse from here.” With that, Haran summons fire and points to Krumm.

I wasn’t sure if I should keep this roll or not. If you want me to reroll the snapdragon firework damage, let me know.


SUMMARY: - Krumm must make two DC17 reflex saves. If he passes, he takes 3 points of fire. If he fails, he takes 6 points and is dazed and dazzled for one round (again).


OOC:  Krumm, I think you have fewer hit points than that. I could be wrong
Round 1 -  Krumm took 3 from fireworks
Round 2 - Nothing
Round 3 - Nothing
Round 4 - Krumm took 45 from rays
Round 5 – Krumm took 29 from rays and fireworks
Round 6 (now) – Krumm takes 22 from rays and possibly 3 or 6 from fireworks

OOC: So, I'm going to be gone for a week starting from about 7 hours from now. My initial plan was to drag this out (ICly, not OOCly - really sorry about making you wait so long) to see how well I would do, but I don't think it's fair to have you wait another week for me to be able to post.

I have 29 HP left, less if I don't take the readied action I prepared this round. With that in mind, I'm going to go ahead and forfeit, as it's the responsible thing to do. GJ Haran. We'll fight again sometime, hopefully when I'm more prepared.

OOC: Krumm spent 2 hero points.

OOC: Can Haran get a +1 to diplomacy? JK. Good game Krumm and thanks. We'll fight again.


Haran Madar, Lawful Neutral, no hero points used

WINNER: HARAN!
