A place where we can OOC talk about the PvP matches.

Welcome EVERYONE to the Peanut Gallery. Feel free to comment, spectate, etc. as you check in.

Our first match:

Elayne, as sponsored by the inexplicably difficult to pronounce RSTNME!

vs.

Nebbin, as sponsored by the much easier to pronounce Garren_Windspear!

The rules:

1. The first character to drop their opponent to 0 hit points wins.
2. No action points allowed!

That's it! Enjoy!

Appearance on the map:

Initiative Roll: 28

And I crit on Initiative. In a 1v1 match. Yay?

Incidentally I have to run to work so I'll have to do my opening action later. See you in a few hours.

No prob... man, if only you rolled like that in the Talcar campaign!

I just posted a fluff post for now.

WE WANT BLOOD!

Well your going to have to wait. It's going to take a few turns just for us to get into hitting range of each other.

It seems unrealistic that Elayne would hear your sneaking with the crowd roaring, so for the sake of realism/RP i'll have the crowd die down at the end of Elayne's turn.

*looks at both characters abysmal Perception scores*

...and thus the area fight was cancelled when both competitors died of old age groping around blind trying to find the other guy.

Although I think this would be a good time to discuss just how we're going to handle Stealth in this situation. I mean we both know exactly where the other guy is but that's entirely OOC knowledge. I guess it's first to roll a Perception checks to beat the other's stealth?

That is an issue, and I suppose that is the only way to go about it. It's also possible to invent ways to draw the enemy out. It's why I was considering, in the event of our matchup, including Monsters in the scenario. Because otherwise we're just going to be prowling around.

Although checking the maths again your passive perception already beats my stealth so your pretty much good to go there. But yeah two stealth oriented characters in a match like this is going to be interesting.

Edit: Right I've stuck my head out and couldn't see you. You can see me and attack from your current position (with combat advantage no less) but I would gain cover. Effectively the cover and CA cancel each other out. This is going to sting isn't it?

Just to confirm before I roll, Elayne's passive perception is enough to know where Nebbin is, and the cover is around a corner, so it's a -2 to attack. Cool? I mean, were Elayne to shift out from behind the tree

No penalty. The cover makes it a -2 penalty but I can't see you so you have combat advantage (+2 bonus). Effectively they cancel each other out so it's just a straight roll.

Incidentally if I take damage from your attack I'll be using 'Fade Away' to turn invisible afterwards. Take that into consideration when you make your actions kay?

Absolutely. So, I will be rolling for attack:

Hunter's Bear Trap: Attack: Dexterity vs. AC (ranged)
Hit: 2W + Dexterity modifier damage (ranged), and the target is slowed and takes ongoing 5 damage (save ends both). Miss: Half damage, no ongoing damage, and the target is slowed until the end of your next turn.

So that's +4 for Dex, +2 for Level, and +2 for Frost Bow, +1 for Prime Shot, +2 Combat Advantage, and -2 Cover, for a total of +9 attack versus DC 19, dealing 2d10+4 (Dex) +2 (Bow) +2 (Bracers) +1d6 Hunter's Quarry.

So that's 23 damage, and Nebbin is slowed and takes ongoing 5 damage (save ends) and then basically vanishes, right?

Ouch!

Well that sucks entirely. I'm on 14 hit points and its been one round! Let's see if I can't end this right here right now!

Also for next time you probably want to mention what power you used on me. I mean I assume you basic ranged attack doesn't also slow and deal ongoing damage right? Also I assume it's save ends both effects?

So that's a grand total of 23 damage and you are immobilized until the end of my next turn and take a -2 penalty to your will defense. In addition I have a +2 bonus to all my defenses.

Good but it doesn't quite cut it. Could have really used a critical hit there to end this right then.

Ah yeah I'll post in the IC the power I use next time. I think the save ends both?

Eek!

Yeah, my Splintering Shot is 3d10+8 and you take half on a miss. However, with Elven Accuracy, I get two chances.

I could roll badly, though, in which case you basically win.

Maybe we shouldn't allow dailies? Ha.

Err rstnme. I am visible to you. My invisibility and stealth both ended when I shot you with Dread Star. You might want to go back and just shoot me with that attack.
