Tanrick moves to j1 and down 20 feet, putting him 10 feet below lanour. "Come, let us have a conversation." he says gesturing for Lanour  to move to I1 and to sink to his level. "After all, a scholar such as myself, is no real threat to such a great warrior." persuasion: 13

Tanrick sits there, in shock that Lanour won’t approach, even though he knows he’s trying to kill him.

Lanour, you’re up! TanRick is  on the ground! You are 20ft up!

(Sorry about that. Yeah let's use the skill table. I understand if it's too late now. And yes, technically we are supposed to be fighting. The persuasion was to convince them that I held no real threat and was not strong enough to harm them.)

(Well, you did just blast him with Acid+Ice+Stabby Ice+Fire, so.. I say that’s off the table. And, yes, my apologies, I do what I do. It is too late, however, I have also had to skip Lanour so much that I sent her a warning PM.)

(even if you're now their best friend, it’s like seeing your friend with a gun, knowing he wants to kill you. Would you approach him? No.)

(fair enough. Is it possible to win by forfeit or do you just act like the match didn't happen? Also how much would you have to skip someone to make them forfeit ?)

(At least thrice. (3 times). I think it’s happened that much... ether way, unless you have a history of getting this PM, it will be 3 times. It will be a win by forfeit.)

 Lanour thinks for a moment then moves i1. (If possible, is there any way I could ready some sort of action to dodge or get away if I do get attacked? I am still on guard, I suppose) . "Well, one of us has to win... how about a duel?" Lanour asks. "We could use our crossbows, perhaps?"

(memorial day. I will give a free pass if people don’t post today, but not tomorrow.)

Lanour backs up and Looks prepared to avoid attacks (I’ll take that as a Ready Dodge).

Tanrick, you’re up! You!re on the ground, lanour is 10ft up! 

(Man, this match has lasted forever.)  

(Can't post today, sorry!)

Tanrick chuckles. "sure. Lets have a duel! Crossbows only! 20 feet apart sound good?" He takes out and loads his crossbow, making sure not to make sudden moves right now, waiting for Lanour to move.

DM:

(Either would work in this situation. However, you rolled a 1, so..)

What’s this! Tanrick is proposing a duel?! But, it seems like he has some magic prepared and ready! Watch out, Lenour!

Lenour, you’re up!  You are 10ft up, Tanrick is 60!

what can you have for items

(would I be able to go to L5? Also, would I be able to add hunters mark damage or planar warrior damage? Both of them require a bonus action to activate)

(L4. If you already cast Hunters Mark, yes. Give me a second.)

(Tanrick, add 5 to your health. I got this. Lanour, make 1 Concentration save, DC10.)

(I forgot Enlarge was Concentration, so it’s countered by Hunters Mark he cast, and you hurt him once, so he needs concentration.)

(make sure you read that, Lanour.)

Concentration: 3

(All is good, go ahead.)

(God tanrick is outmatched here. Mostly because of bad rolls lol)

(Less of Bad rolls for you and more of Good rolls for lanour.)

(Lanour’s still up.)
