Darn!

Josep Gavinho rolled 16 using 1d20+11 with rolls of 5.  Max Emp SR vs SR16.
Josep Gavinho rolled 14 using 1d20+11 with rolls of 3.  QSR vs SR16.

Josep curses as one of his spells fails to pierce through the drow's magic resistance... leaving him severely wounded, but still breathing. With a snap of his fingers, both hands turn to large draconic claws... one of them still holding a rod.

 That's only 88 fire damage then...

 Add Grow claws (free) to my list of actions for the turn.

 On with round 3 then!

 It looks like I'll be unable to post until Monday, so take your time...

Whenever you get the chance, you and your familiar get to re-roll vs my auras again cause your both still inside them. >:D

I get to re-roll? Cool.

Josep Gavinho rolled 25 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 20.  Frida cowardice dc20.
Josep Gavinho rolled 18 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 11.  Frida despair dc20.
Josep Gavinho rolled 12 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 5.  Josep cowardice dc20.
Josep Gavinho rolled 25 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 20.  Josep despair dc20.

So now Josep cowers, and Frida is despaired...

Yeah, unfortunately. its not how aura's should work imo, but i haven't sacrificed 1% of my BP to take it up with arkrim yet cause i haven't taken the time to write out an at least reasonable argument that wouldn't make him consider it a waste of his time.


i'll get a post up soon-ish,

Latro believed himself to be a gonner. However, his innate spell resistance had protected him from Joseph's quickened spell.... this time. One beneficial spell and three rays of certain death. So far, he was in the green.

However, Latro needed a new plan of attack. Hoping that the curse would disable his foe this time around, Latro casts a spell to ruin the caster's eyes and retreats away from Josep towards hiro's remains.

"My lord!" Tiaca calls, hand extended, as he passes her frame of view, the black tentacles still writhing around her. Latro ignores her. She was no use to him trapped in the tentacles of the black abyss and she had little to no chance of escaping on her own or even surviving the duration of the spell. Latro had only himself to count on.

OOC: Well, at least we're getting something interesting instead of "Blast, Blast, you're dead." ;P
and just to make sure, that familiar of yours does either have innate magical casting ability thats specific to heroism and blur or otherwise has UMD, correct?

OOC: Pause this match. PMs sent. Please respond to PMs ASAP.

@Latro: Frida the familiar uses a trick indeed, so that she needs not roll UMD checks when casting spells from scrolls. She's neat.

OOC:

Okay guys, that's all settled except one last thing. Latro, I'll let you explain your situation to them in your own words. I leave it to you guys to decide how to handle it.
This message was last edited by the GM at 03:03, Tue 09 Feb 2016.

ooc: I think we should hang him by his innards from a 20ft pole ;)

Ok, so heres the sticky.

Me, being the person that i am, decided that because we have free range to change around our feats willy-nilly, that i would grab crafting discounts in between matches by switching around my feat selections to get crafting feats and then switch my feats back to combat feats before the match begins. (this is something that I choose to reflect on my character sheet. with a column labeled "In Combat Feats" and "Out of combat feats"
however, i failed to realize/remember/whatever-you-want-to-call-it that just because you can craft something at half cost while out of combat does not mean you get to keep it at half cost when you change your feats and go into combat.

So basically GM Arkrim is giving you guys two choices
1) insta-disqualify me
or
2) Make me poof my gear until i have my appropriate BP's worth of gear

the first option nets Josep his win instantly but he's probably going to miss out on gaining BP off of me.
the second option will significantly cripple me and pretty much give Josep his win next turn anyways

sorry for being a screw up. :D

 Haha! Tricky fellow... It was a bold move!

 I'm all right with Latro being instantly naked in the arena -- if only because it is such a fun sight ;)

 Btw, could you link me to the wording of the curse that could rob Josep of his next round worth of actions? I'm curious.

It's just your standard bestow curse spell that you failed the save on when i smacked you with my scythe last round. It is continuous afterall. ;P
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/...pells/b/bestow-curse
It was triggered off of my Touch of Corruption ability which hit you last turn and which utilizes fort saves as opposed to will saves in case you were curious.

i'll get my stuff in order by tomorrow at the latest.

Hiro, if you're ok with Latro's being stripped instead of disqualified, I proceed with my turn.

 Josep was disconcerted by the magical resistance, then more surprised when he saw the guildmaster run away to hide by Hiro charred corpse, and absolutely flabbergasted when the drow suddenly abandoned all his equipment and was left in pyjamas in the middle of the arena...

 He had miraculously managed to avoid the blinding effect and the paralysing curse alike, but was dazed for a moment by the sight of the drow in the simplest of outfits...

  "Oh my... you've been working out, haven't you?"
 He paused to observe intently the muscular silhouette and keep a mental image of it, then unleashed the fury of his fire magic one last time. 



   ROUND: Round 3
POSITION: K14 -> J13
 ACTIONS:
 Frida: Move to J12 and Draw scroll (Move)

Frida (familiar):
 HP: 49/49
 AC: 21; FFAC:  18; Touch: 15
CMD: 12; FFCMD: 09; FFTAC: 12

Effects: Despair

   GEAR:  4 scrolls
   USES: one scroll of Heroism, one scroll of Blur, one scroll of Cat's Grace

 ROLLS:
Josep Gavinho rolled 23 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 16.  DC18 fort save vs blindness.
   -> Josep not blind
Josep Gavinho rolled 100 using 1d100 with rolls of 100.  50% chance of no action.
   -> Josep may act
Josep Gavinho rolled 20,7 using d20+19,d6+4 with rolls of 1,3.  black tentacles
   -> Black Tentacles keep groping, 7 damage to Mrs Bird and Mr Skunk
Josep Gavinho rolled 23 using 1d20+11 with rolls of 12.  Quickened Scorching Ray - CL check
Josep Gavinho rolled 16,16,18 using d20+14,d20+14,d20+14 with rolls of 2,2,4.  QSR vs TAC.
Josep Gavinho rolled 24,26,14 using 4d6+8,4d6+8,4d6+8 with rolls of 5,1,5,5,5,6,5,2,1,3,1,1.  QSR damage.
   -> if your naked TAC is 16 or less, that's 64 fire damage, if 18 or less only 14 damage.
Josep Gavinho rolled 19 using 1d20+11 with rolls of 8.  Maximized Empowered Scorching Ray - CL check.
Josep Gavinho rolled 23,22,32 using d20+14,d20+14,d20+14 with rolls of 9,8,18.  Maximized Empowered Scorching Ray - to hit TAC.
   -> and that's a further 132 fire damage

 Summary: Josep cowers, Frida despairs. The latter buffs the former.
          Josep uses the same technique, dealing 146 or 196 fire damage to Latro.
 
 If Hiro is ok with Latro's suggestion, that makes Josep winner, Latro runner-up, Hiro loser.
 If Hiro insists on disqualifying latro, that leaves Josep winner, Hiro loser, Latro disqualified.

 That battle royale is obviously tainted though... so Hiro, I'm keen to go for an instant rematch if you want (go buy a ring of resist fire beforehand though ;)

I'd say poof the gear, finish this up, then let's talk rematch :) I'm going to take a few days to figure out how best to take you apart...

 My advice? Resist Fire, Protection from Fire, and try not to start the fight flatfooted ;)

 GM, I think we sorted this out, unless Latro has a last minute trump.

nope. thats all. and it did indeed take that second set of rays to off me so i'm happy to know that. ;P

lucky set of rolls on the save and the 50%. At least i got second place by you guy's good graces so i'm ok with the way things turned out.

and i don't like the way you throw around winky faces willy nilly after you say "oh, yeah, just get rings of protection against fire. that'll totally stop me. like i've never turned my scorching rays into ice or some other element before."

but yeah, game over.

Latro comes in second place.

 Ice Scorching Ray? That's nonsense. Never heard of them ;)

OOC: Latro didn't need to poof all his gear, just enough to get to the proper BP value. And please correct your character sheets to the original format when you're done. That's part of the problem with rules interpretation. If you change it even in the slightest way, you've broken the rules. You can change the content, but not the format.

But okay, if we're finished here I'll take your declarations please.

Josep is a True Neutral adept with 1,054 BP ; he used 2 hero points.

 Also he's the new champion and you won't stop hearing about it.

Hiro is level 11 and Lawful Neutral

And will be the champion again soon :)

Latro is lvl 10, has 1,149 BP points, used 0 hero points and will take the championship for himself one of these days....
