OOC: DragonDenn, you are right about the Misty Step ability that Xarythas has. This is a good example of how I don't have everything memorized. As for the Ice Knife it rolled a 7 to hit which even naked misses Leann. It is my opinion that even though not stated Xarythas would have enough combat awareness to detonate the shard far enough behind Leann to not be caught in the blast area. If the shard would have hit Leann then I would side with you on that ruling. Casting an exploding spell basically at your feet is in general a bad idea. Xarythas passed the saves from what I can tell so overall it is a moot point. Leann and Xarythas are both badly wounded at this point and it is still anyone's match. Unless I have missed something:
Xarythas reaches out as the poison burns his chest and brushes Leann's chain mail with his hand. The already bloodied snake-eyed humanoid convulses then falls to the ground unconscious. Immediately the world shatters and implodes on itself. You are both deposited in your own area fully restored. The area has changed slightly for both of you. The room is no longer a plain cube. It has sleeping quarters and a training/research area appropriate to your class. On arrival you hear a slow clap sounding from nowhere and the voice of one and many speaks "Bravo. Bravo. Fear not my chosen this is not the end. Choose your reward and prepare yourself for the next trial." The clapping ends and you hear a new voice.
A pleasant androgynous voice speaks "Welcome to the Emporium Vesania. Please select the equipment you would like." Knowledge floods your mind of all the items available to your current tier. Choose up to five items then message me and I will reply with the cost of the item/s. Remove the gold from your inventory and then you can add the item to your inventory. If it does not require special circumstances to attune you may attune the item immediately. If it does have special attunement requirements I will let you know if you will be able to attune it. After each match, you may send me a message with a different list of five items. The lists will not carry over from match to match. After each match, you will have to submit a new list for a new set of prices. Common magical items are available. I have added gold to your inventory.
You are not sure but time did seem to pass in the strange realm you now think of as the staging area. The pleasant voice in your head could provide any requested items so long as you parted with the required gold. Hunger and thirst did not seem to be problems and you always seemed to be refreshed as if you just woke up from a deep sleep. At some point the one and a hundred voices spoke again “Time for the next event. My contestants! To Arms!”
The world twisted in what was quickly becoming a familiar way.
The next instant you are in a dense jungle. The light is bright and alien sounds are all around you. The vegetation is so thick you can only see twenty feet in front of you. Everything beyond that has total cover. All movement is treated as difficult terrain.
Leann Silverstorm vs Clove. Round 1. Roll Initiative.
OOC: Forgot to mention that. You do not see your opponent. Only thick dense underbrush. You will have to do something to find out where your opponent is.
Con save 19
Xarythas jumps back 5ft to turn raise his Crossbow for a center mass shot
To hit 17 with damage of 6
He then uses Misty Step to teleport a further 30ft back
Leann takes an attack of opportunity as you jump back.
Attack: 16 Damage: 2
Xarythas take the damage from his careless movements
(so does the damage stop the teleportation? And then I assume your turn again?)
Nope you still get to teleport.
Need to wait on the DM to weigh in on everything and call for next round.

Great battle DeagonDenn!
Those CON saves bloody saved my arse a few times!

Leann Silverstorm vs Clove. Round 1. Roll Initiative.
Leann initiative: 6
(Do we see each other? How far apart are we?)
Initative: 17
I'm also curious of how far apart we are.
OOC: Forgot to mention that. You do not see your opponent. Only thick dense underbrush. You will have to do something to find out where your opponent is.
OOC: You can use spoilers if you don't want the other person to see what you are doing right away. It is the ! in the tool bar at the top.
(Just let me know when Leann's turn is...)
Looking for a quick fight, Clove pick up a nearby rock and starts hammering the nearest tree.
After a couple knocks I hide in nearby brush and equip my crossbow
